The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 570 Rare To Be Alone

Sylvia's POV:

"Rufus!" I was so happy that I waved at him excitedly.

Rufus practically ran towards me and threw his arms around me. His tone a mix of shock and anger, he demanded, "Where did you go?"

I hugged the potted plant protectively. "Be careful of the flower."

Rufus let go of me. Looking down at the potted plant in my arms, he frowned. "Why does this potted flower smell like Noreen?"

"Because this is Noreen's flower!" I said to him proudly.

He took the potted plant from me and looked at it carefully. "What's going on?"

"We entered Noreen's domain by accident just now and found a lot of things that could be useful to us. This potted plant was one of them," I explained excitedly.

"And there were so many other strange things!" Flora chimed in. She began to show off. She pulled out colorful gemstones from every pocket she had and threw them to Warren. "These are all good luck gemstones. Since you've been so unlucky, I got them all for you. Take them."

Warren stared at the gemstones in his hands in bewilderment. "Thank you..."

"You're welcome. I also found something good for romance. Do you want it?" Flora was very generous. She reached into her shoes and pulled out two coins.

"No, thanks. Give it to Harry. He needs it more than I do." Warren smiled bitterly.

"You're right." Flora pursed her lips but she dutifully put the coins back into her shoes.

I happily reached for Rufus' hand and whispered, "This flower could save Blair. Perhaps it can also remove your curse."

"Really?" Rufus looked up in surprise. It was rare to see him so shocked.

I smiled at him reassuringly. "I'll explain everything in detail when we get back. Let's get out of here first."

Rufus and his men had already managed to get rid of those pesky zombies and vampires. We took out the map and studied it carefully, rearranging the route back. After trudging on for a little while longer, we finally made it out of vampire territory and made it back to the werewolf pack.

After everyone settled down, I followed Rufus to his temporary residence, the potted plant in tow.

As soon as I entered the room and put down the potted plant, Rufus scooped me onto the table and kissed me.

When he finally pulled away, he murmured, "I almost went crazy when I couldn't find you earlier. I was so scared that you might've been kidnapped by Hobson again. I almost went back to the vampires' base camp."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked into his eyes lovingly. "If I really was kidnapped by Hobson, you wouldn't have to worry about me. For you, I wouldn't allow anything bad happen to myself." Rufus stroked my cheek affectionately and said hoarsely, "If something bad did happen to you, I wouldn't be able to live with myself—"

I quickly pressed my index finger to his lips and interrupted him. "Don't talk like that. It will never happen."

Rufus grabbed my hand and kissed it. "I love you, Sylvia," he whispered in a low, sexy voice.

"I love you, too, Rufus!" I answered without hesitation, hugging him tightly, as though I was scared to let him go. Then I told him everything that happened in Noreen's lab.

"That pendant was the key that opened the stone chamber, but unfortunately, I couldn't bring it back with me," I said with regret.

In the end, I never figured out why Geoffrey had my mother's pendant and how it became the key to a witch's stone chamber.

There were clues everywhere but they were messy and entangled in an unsolvable mystery.

Noreen had set up a trap for all of us. I just hoped that the plant in the pot was real deal and could successfully remove the curses on Blair and Rufus. It might sound like a long shot, but I did sincerely hope nothing bad would happen again. Rufus picked me up, walked over to the bed and lay me down. "All right. Finding a way to remove the curses is already an amazing achievement in itself. Let's talk about it some more later."

I nodded, nestled in his arms, feeling at peace.

Every time I was with Rufus, my whole body and mind would relax.

I felt as though he could take care of anything, even if something bad did happen.

The atmosphere was quiet and cozy. I closed my eyes and enjoyed my time alone with Rufus.

Rufus leaned against the headboard with me in his arms and pecked me from time to time. He caressed my back gently, as though he was comforting a small animal.

But gradually, the atmosphere changed.

His fingers lightly scratched the base of my back and finally reached into my clothes. Then his fingers slowly made their way upward. His touch sent a slight electric shock down my spine. With the sound of a click, he unhooked my bra.

I looked up into his eyes and blinked innocently. "What are you doing?"

Rufus raised his eyebrows. Lowering his head, he rubbed his soft lips against my eyelids. "Don't you want it?"
