The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 725 What Is She Hiding

Rufus' POV:

Using the flowers in my hand, I managed to successfully lure Sylvia to an open space.

Fortunately, no guards were nearby and we made no noise.

When Sylvia attacked me again, I locked her in my arms to prevent her from running away.

Then I repeatedly called out her name like I had done the last time.

After a while, she finally snapped back to her senses.

She looked at me with puzzlement. After a long pause, she asked, "Did I lose control just now?"

"Did you feel different?" I asked nervously.

She nodded with a bewildered expression. "Yes, I did. Has this happened to me before? Because this feeling of losing control is quite familiar to me this time."

After hesitating for a while, I disclosed to Sylvia how she had almost killed Richard in the forbidden forest when she had lost control before.

Noreen had been frequently appearing by Sylvia's side, which made me increasingly suspicious and worried.

I was afraid that Sylvia really had some connection the black witch race.

I couldn't keep this issue buried anymore, so I had to bring it up with her.

Sylvia's face fell and she looked down. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"I thought it was just a coincidence. And I didn't want to worry you before I had got some clarity on this matter," I explained.

Sylvia met my eyes and freed herself from my arms. She looked very distressed. Her silence was making me panic.

I wanted to explain my actions further, but she spoke first.

"Have you suspected for long that I have a relationship with Noreen?"

Her dismal tone made me pause for a second before I finally nodded.

She didn't say anything else. She looked down again. Her thick eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, shielding her emotions from me. She fidgeted with the buttons on her dress and seemed reluctant to talk to me.

I felt a twinge of uneasiness, as if I had done something wrong. I grasped her hand, wanting her to give me some response.

"Sylvia, I don't care who you are. All I know is that you're my mate. And that will never change. I just wanted to uncover the truth before I told you everything." After saying that, I stared at the hair on top of her head, feeling a little sad. "Sylvia, say something."

She raised her head and gave me a fleeting look. Then she held my hand back and said, "I don't know what to say."

I knew she was still mad at me for hiding all of this from her. I knew I was in the wrong, so I kept my mouth shut. After a long pause, I said, "I am really sorry. I won't do it again."

Unexpectedly, Sylvia burst into laughter and her face lit up. She raised her chin and innocently said, "I'm not angry with you."

"But you didn't say anything..." I felt a little wronged. Sylvia tricked me on purpose.

She gave me another cheeky smile. Falling into my arms, she stared at the night sky silently.

Holding her snugly, I thought for a while and asked, "Why has Noreen been bothering you so much? Did she tell you anything?"

"I don't know. Maybe she's bored," Sylvia replied offhandedly.

"Then..."

I wanted to ask more questions, but she interrupted me.

"I'm exhausted, Rufus. Let's go back and get some rest. Dawn is almost here. Let's catch a few hours' sleep before coming back for Leonard's funeral."

Sylvia acted like a spoiled child. She looked the same, but I felt like something was off about her. I could sense that she was hiding something from me. "Rufus, let's go back," she urged again and left by herself.

Still a little worried, I stared at her receding figure and hurried to follow her.
