The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 784 Candidate For Beta

Sylvia's POV:

Shawn was speechless, but when he noticed Blair's toned arms, he didn't dare say anything more and instead got out of the pool in silence.

Blair snorted on the poolside and watched Shawn with evident insult.

Furious and embarrassed, Shawn gritted his teeth.

The servant quickly brought clean clothes, which Shawn changed into while suppressing his anger. Then he continued to lead us to the dining room, but this time, he behaved obediently and didn't dare provoke Blair anymore.

Finally learning his lesson, Shawn kept his mouth shut along the way. Blair and I were happy to finally have some peace and quiet.

We soon arrived at the dining room. I thought it was just a simple meal, but I didn't expect Shawn to hold a big party.

Inside the hall were ten long white tables. Hanging on the tall dome ceiling were bright crystal chandeliers that cast a glittering radiance on the tableware. There were fresh flower baskets in every corner, and those tender petals were stained with water. It was obvious that they had just been placed in the hall.

The banquet hall was already full of people, who were all high-ranking members of the pack.

When they saw us, they all rose from their seats to welcome us.

It reminded me of when a principal gave a speech in school, and the students would get up to greet him in this manner. My toes almost curled up with embarrassment and discomfort.

With a straight face, I strolled behind Blair and followed Shawn inside.

We took the first available table. On either side of us sat the pack elders, while the three of us sat on the same side, facing the others.

Blair didn't touch any of the food. He just sat there, motionless and silent.

I took a few bites of the food on the plate and soon lost my appetite. Many people came to flatter me and made a toast from time to time. Most of them had bullied me before, so I wasn't really delighted at all to see them again. I only put up with the boredom long enough to deal with a few people before eventually losing interest in the meal.

I set down my fork and knife, sat silently like Blair, and only took a sip of water from time to time.

Shawn, who was seated to my right, was chuckling merrily.

His anger over getting kicked into the pool seemed to have vanished completely. It was replaced by the enthusiasm towards Blair and me. Seeing that Blair and I didn't eat much, he thought the food didn't suit our taste, so he asked the servants to clear our table and serve other dishes.

Dozens of delicious dishes were served on the long banquet table. Knowing Shawn's character, he might throw all of them away if we didn't finish.

I tried my best to contain my impatience, pressed Shawn down, who was about to get up to call people, and whispered, "No need to change the dishes. The food is fine."

"Really? Then eat more. You look much thinner than before. Eat more meat and gain weight." Shawn grinned broadly and slammed a piece of stewed chicken with red wine vinegar on my plate.

I pursed my lips and smiled, taking a sip from the water glass to quell the nauseous feeling in my stomach.

Damn it! My baby hated the strong smell of red wine vinegar.

Sitting next to me, Blair seemed to notice something. He frowned and looked at me. "Sylvia, you look so pale. Are you okay?"

I shook my head and pushed the plate away from me. Enduring the retching in my throat, I said gently, "I'm okay. Aren't you hungry? Ew..."

My throat started to grow more and more queasy.

I quickly put a hand over my mouth and swallowed to stifle it.

Blair frowned and whispered to me, "Morning sickness?"

I nodded slightly. "I think so."

With a glass of wine in his hand, Shawn abruptly rose to his feet and exclaimed to the crowd, "I'm really delighted that Sylvia has returned to our pack again. We haven't had fun like this in a long time, so all of you have a wonderful time tonight. Taking this opportunity, I sincerely want to invite Sylvia to remain in our pack as the Beta and help us grow together."

I sat up straight and sneered. It seemed that Shawn still hadn't given up yet.
