The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 776 Hold His Hand

Sylvia's POV:

It began to drizzle, and the smell of blood permeated the piercing wind.

I had no idea whose blood it was, but it was so thick that I almost felt sick. Rufus and Blair were still fighting. No matter how I tried to persuade them, neither listened to me.

Wanting to stop them, I stamped my foot in agitation, but the feeling of nausea overcame me, and I was forced to puke.

It was only at this moment that they finally stopped fighting. Rufus knocked Blair to the ground. I didn't know whether he was alive or dead. But from the looks of it, he had no strength to fight back. Meanwhile, Rufus was completely alright except for the bruises on his face. His suit didn't even wrinkle a bit.

I covered my mouth, trying to suppress the retch in my throat. Then I walked over to check Blair's condition. But before I could even reach him, Rufus prepared to attack him again.

Furious, I stood in front of Rufus, blocking his way, and yelled, "Do you want to kill him?! Blair is your best friend!"

Rufus loosened his tie aggressively and snarled, "Friend? Will a true friend lust after my mate?"

I licked my dry lips and explained slowly, "Blair isn't in his right mind. He only did this because he was manipulated by Noreen's blood. It's all Noreen's fault. Blair didn't mean to do that. I didn't tell you because didn't want you to overthink and grow apart from one another." "What about you? Are you sick too?" Rufus asked in a low voice. His eyes were brightly illuminated by the moonlight as if they had been dropped into the entire river of stars.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Rufus, listen to me. It's complicated. I don't know how to explain it right now."

In the middle of our bickering, Rufus suddenly pulled out the box that housed our wedding ring and said, "You took a lot of things with you, but only left this behind." Tears welled up in my eyes while a lump was stuck in my throat. Looking at the ring box in his hand, I felt as if a force was crushing my heart. I couldn't breathe.

In truth, I hesitated for a long time before leaving, but I still left the ring behind because I felt undeserving of it.

"Tell me, Sylvia. Why did you leave it behind? Didn't you say you love me? Why did you leave me? How can you have the heart to leave me?" Although Rufus was remarkably composed, I could feel the pain in his voice. His questions pierced my body like sharp knives.

"Rufus..." I uttered, crying and shaking my head. My head was a complete mess, and I didn't know how to explain it to him.

"Have you fallen in love with someone else?" Rufus turned to look at Blair with a murderous look.

I was shocked when I heard what he said. With tears streaming down my face, I grabbed his arm and begged, "Rufus, I only love you, always and forever. But I really have something to do and need to leave the capital city for a while. Please believe me. Can you let me go? I'll come back to you as soon as I'm done dealing with it."

"What's the matter you have to deal with?" Rufus glanced at me, but his face was utterly blank. He appeared menacing and brooding, as though something was stirring inside him.

I swallowed and said gently, "I can't tell you right now."

The corners of his mouth tilted upward slightly, making him look dreadfully seductive. Although he was smiling, it didn't reach his eyes. "Then why can Blair know, but I can't? Sylvia, have you forgotten that I am your mate?"

I released his hand and turned to face him. Being placed in such a predicament left me at a loss. "I don't know how to explain it to you right now, but I need you to believe me on this one."

Rufus extended his hand to touch my cheek and whispered, "But you have lied to me too many times already."

His words rendered me speechless and unsure of what to do next.

At this time, Blair, who was lying on the ground, groaned in pain. I feared he would die, so I hurried over to check his condition.

However, Rufus continued to speak and extended his hand to me. "Sylvia, don't go. Stay here with me, and I will believe everything you say. Take my hand and tell me you're still mine, Sylvia."
