The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 146 The Dead End

Sylvia's POV:

When Flora and I returned from the training ground, we saw a couple of werewolves standing at the gate.

"What happened?" Flora and I exchanged quizzical glances.

We eventually heard shrill cries; the onlookers grew restless and broke into hushed whispers. I heard them mention Cherry's name.

Flora soon dragged me and elbowed our way in. I soon saw Cherry in a state of despair. She was barefoot, and her long hair was a mess. I saw a trail of eyeliner on each of her cheeks, and her eyes looked puffy and bloodshot. She was cursing and shouting at the two guards in black pressing her from either side.

"Finally, someone taught her a lesson. She deserves it!" Flora cursed, breathing a sigh of relief.

Just then, Cherry turned around. Her face reddened with rage when her gaze met mine. She pushed the two guards away and rushed to me. "You bitch! It's all your fault! I hate you!"

However, Flora stood in front of me protectively and shouted, "What are you doing? Mind your tongue!"

I grabbed Flora's hand and pulled her back. Cherry had lost her mind, and I was afraid she would vent her anger on Flora. I knew Cherry too well. She hated anyone or anything related to me. "Sylvia! You mus be happy I'm expelled from school, right? You fucking bitch! Do you think you can get popular just because you're pretty? Let me tell you something. As long as I'm alive, I'll make sure you don't live a good life!' I stepped back to keep a safe distance from Cherry. "Behave yourself, Cherry. I don't want to argue with you."

Cherry gritted her teeth and glared at me as if she wanted to tear me into pieces. She picked up a stone from the ground and tried to throw it at me. However, the men in black grabbed her hands and dragged her away.

The people sneered at Cherry as they watched the men drag her away.

"She is paying the price for being arrogant and rude to everyone. Look at her. Poor girl! She is like a drowned rat now."

"I heard her private life is a mess. She has slept with several men."

"Every time I tried talking to her, she has ignored me. What a snob!"

"Yeah. She is just the daughter of a Gamma from a small pack but thinks she is a queen. She deserves the punishment."

The crowd gradually dispersed after Cherry was dragged away. Just as I looked up, I saw Rufus looking at me from afar. I didn't know how long he had been staring at me, but the way he looked at me made my heart stutter. It felt as if a thousand butterflies were set loose in my stomach. I grew excited every time I saw him.

I avoided the crowd and walked to a secluded place with Rufus. He held my hand tightly and looked into my eyes.

"So you mistook someone else for me and danced with her at the ball?" I asked.

Rufus nodded. "But soon, I found it wasn't you, so I came looking for you."

That was when I understood what Flora meant when she told me that Rufus went berserk halfway through the party. However, the fact that Rufus had been intimate with another she-wolf, thinking it was me, made my heart sink.

Jealousy reared its ugly head. It felt as if some other she-wolf had stolen my man. If I had known it earlier, I'd not have skipped the ball. I couldn't think of Rufus being with anyone else other than me. "So you danced with another she-wolf and held her waist?" I asked, trying to swallow my jealousy.

"That was because I thought she was you." Rufus pursed his lips like a stubborn child and looked at me. "You have no idea know how long I waited for you that day."

My anger disappeared in an instant. "I'm sorry. I'm not angry with you. I'm just a little mad at myself," I said, shaking his hand. "I regret missing the opportunity to dance with you. I practiced for so long, only to cancel it at the last minute. I even ruined your reputation online."
