The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 1051 An Old Acquaintance's...

Rufus' POV:

The gray wolf sat there and barked at me as if I was an old acquaintance.

Soon, the other two came over as well, and proceeded to rub against my shins.

I was at a loss for words. I felt like I had just run into three huge puppies.

"Rufus, don't be fooled," Omar warned. "Wild wolves are very cunning. They're only buttering you up so that you would let your guard down."

"I know, but let's see what's going on first. These wild wolves are acting too strange." The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became. I thought about Crystal again. My life had never been peaceful since the moment she appeared. Strange occurrences kept happening left and right. She was a mysterious woman, to be sure, and I couldn't seem to see through her.

"Let me at them, and you'll know what's going on once and for all." Omar was itching to get into a brawl. After taking the throne, I had rarely turned into my wolf form. He must be eager to come out and had a good run.

"There's no rush. Let's wait for a while."

The two smaller wolves were wagging their tails excitedly, like they had somehow found a new toy. They playfully tugged at my trousers with their teeth. They were undoubtedly strong, but they behaved like juvenile cubs.

I bent over and tried to push them away, but the gray wolf took advantage of the situation and tackled me from the back.

Omar was right. They were only getting me to let my guard down.

This time, I didn't hesitate. I turned into my wolf form and tried to snap at the gray wolf's neck, but it moved fast. It darted away before perching on a boulder, and then it raised its head at me, as though it was mocking me.

I was pissed off. How devious could a wild animal be?

Recognizing that the situation had shifted, the two smaller wolves scampered over to the gray wolf's side.

I was already in a foul mood as it was, and I even got taunted by a wild wolf. Rage surged in my heart. I raised my head and roared into the sky. The whole ground trembled as I unleashed my lycan power. A powerful gust of wind swept across the woods. Leaves fell to the forest floor as branches shook violently above us.

The three wolves shied away from the wind. They could barely keep their eyes open against its onslaught. The gray wolf remained standing, but the other two were reduced to a sobbing heap behind it. I snorted and clawed at the ground, warning them to flee if they valued their lives.

Even so, the gray wolf was unfazed. Instead of running away, it jumped from the boulder and sauntered over to me. It let out a long howl. It was by no means a powerful one, but it was certainly meant to be a provocation.

The two little wolves howled, too.

This seemed to excite their leader, and it began to circle me. It wasn't afraid of me at all. I was almost convinced that it knew me, but I was never acquainted with a wild wolf. I knew for sure that I didn't know these three.

The gray wolf was teasing me. It didn't look like it had any intention to actually attack. I changed back to my human form and turned on my heel and left. I didn't want to waste my time on these childish games. The wild wolves kept following me, though. Each time I looked back, they would stop and stare at me with their heads tilted to the side. They would blink at me, too, and act confused.

There was nothing I could do about it. If I killed them, I would only get blood all over me. I didn't want to get myself dirty. In the end, I opted to turn into a wolf and sped away. Fortunately, those three couldn't keep up with my pace, and I threw them off my tail soon enough.
