The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 713

Sylvia's POV:

Rufus turned around and his eyes lit up as soon as he saw me. He scampered towards me and enfolded me in his arms in relief. "If I still couldn't find you, I would've blown this mountain up."

I inhaled his scent and rubbed my chin against his shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm not hurt."

Rufus gently pushed me away from him to take a good look at me. He touched my face and inspected my body up and down, and concern was visible in his eyes as he did so. "Did Noreen take you away?"

I nodded and honestly said, "Yes, she did. But she didn't hurt me."

His brows furrowed. The fact that Noreen took me away displeased him and it was obvious in his tone of voice as he replied, "I don't think I can let you stay with Alina alone anymore."

"You've found out about that already?" My jaw dropped in surprise.

Rufus bobbed his head, his eyes mirroring the intent to be violent. "I just don't think that was a mere coincidence."

"Alina seemed to have made some deal with Noreen, but I don't know what exactly it is. And something makes me wonder, why did Leonard's soldiers attack each other?" I sighed and held his arm, hoping to grasp a sense of security.

"It must be Noreen's trick. When we passed by this place, white smoke was pumped out, clouding the area. I think that's what affected the soldiers and urged them to assault one another."

Rufus briefly told me what had happened. He assured me that he had contacted the army of the pack and that they would come to deal with the aftermath soon. That news relieved a knot inside me.

Then a thought hit me. I hesitated for a while, but I knew that I wouldn't know unless I asked. I faced Rufus seriously and questioned him. "Have you, by any chance, already known that Leonard is my father?"

His eyes widened in shock, his jaw hanging open. He raised his thick eyebrows and asked in return, "How did you know?"

Without directly receiving a definite response, I was certain what he meant.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I let go of his arm and bit my lips, disappointment slowly invading my system.
