The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 601 A Hidden Place

Sylvia's POV:

Harry and I followed John to a hidden cave with vines shrouding its entrance.

"You're awesome, John!" Harry exclaimed. "I didn't expect you would find such a place to hide. I thought you had run away, leaving me all alone."

I realized why Harry looked aggrieved when I asked about John earlier. It looked like he had thought John had abandoned him and run for his own life.

John didn't say a word. He stood away from Harry, keeping a safe distance from him. Although he looked calm, his eyes gleamed with desperation as if he wanted to escape but couldn't.

I didn't have the heart to tell Harry the truth. John's dislike for him seemed too obvious.

Harry then turned to look at me. "Sylvia, why have you come to the vampires' territory? John and I thought you were having an affair with someone."

"That was what you thought. Don't speak for me," John grunted in annoyance.

"What made you think that?"

"You were acting strange all day. Why did you sneak out without informing Prince Rufus?" Harry sized me up, trying to read my mind.

I didn't know what to say. I had found a way to remove the curse on Rufus that haunted him on every full moon night. Besides, Geoffrey had also mentioned the curse in front of everyone, so I didn't feel the need to avoid the topic.

I told them the truth but concealed the dream about the blackthorns from them. Otherwise, Rufus would find out about it. I didn't want him to know about it until I figured out the entire truth.

Just when there was finally a way and hope about removing the curse on him that haunted him for years, a new curse befell him. I was afraid Rufus would lose his mind.

"So you came here to find Noreen?" Harry asked in disbelief.

"Yes. I needed some clarification. I was afraid Rufus would be worried about me, so I came here without informing him," I said, shrugging.

"Is there a way to remove the curse on Prince Rufus?" Harry asked concernedly.

I nodded. "There are some clues. And I met Noreen today."

"What? You saw Noreen? The notorious black witch who eats children?" Harry clamped his mouth in horror.

"That's just nonsense," I chuckled, shaking my head. "Why would she eat children?"

Harry became curious, and I could tell he wanted to ask more questions. However, John stopped him.

"Let's go back first. It's not safe here. It will be more difficult to escape this place when zombies come out at night. We have to leave this place as soon as possible."

I agreed with John. Fighting the zombies wasn't an easy task, so we had to leave as soon as possible.

The three of us inspected the entrance of the cave. Although only a few vampires were lurking outside, all of them were powerful.

"I guess there are more than a dozen high-level vampires outside," John said intently.

Harry was a little surprised. "How come so many high-level vampires are roaming around all of a sudden?"

"I guess someone high up must have been alerted of our intrusion." My heart sank. Escaping the place now seemed like an impossible task.

"Fortunately, a lot of rosemaries are planted in this area. They wouldn't be able to notice the scent of us, at least for the time being," said John.

"Don't stand at the entrance of the cave. Let's go inside. Vampires have impeccable eyesight. They'll soon find us. I suggest we sit down and discuss how to leave." "Okay."

Harry and John acted quickly. The two immediately found a big stone and sat down like two students in a classroom, listening to their teacher with rapt attention.
