The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 825 Successor

Sylvia's POV:

"When will you get married?" I curiously asked Flora.

"Soon. I originally planned on holding a wedding after I give birth. Then, I'll have the perfect figure to wear a beautiful wedding dress. Anyway... we now decide to hold the ceremony early." Flora's eyes lit up in excitement as she touched her belly. "I can't wait to see the baby, and I want to hold a wedding as soon as possible."

"Are you sure Warren is your Mr. Right? Have you made up your mind?" I tilted my head to the side and flashed her a playful smirk. "I remember hearing someone say that even if Warren was the last werewolf in the whole world, she would rather die than marry him."

Flora's cheeks instantly flushed bright red. "I've made up my mind. Besides, I'm pregnant now. What else can I do?"

Seeing how shy she looked, I just chuckled and nodded. "That's right. Now that you two are going to have a baby, you can only put up with it."

"It's not that terrible, though. It's actually kind of great," she murmured as she embarrassedly twirled her hair around her finger.

I gave her an amused look and changed the topic. I decided to ask her about the date of the wedding.

Flora didn't plan on holding a grand wedding.

After all, Leonard had just passed away and there really wasn't much time left for preparation. But she told me that the wedding would be held two months later.

"Owen was the one who fixed the wedding date. I don't know why he's so anxious about it. It's almost like he wants me and Warren to get married as soon as tomorrow," Flora said as she looked at me in confusion.

"Of course he is anxious. You're about to give birth to his grandchild." I smiled. "He's definitely eager to announce to the whole world that you're Warren's wife."

Warren was probably involved in that matter. He had to be. I was pretty sure that he was actually much more anxious than Owen, but he just didn't want to show it in front of Flora.

Flora pouted. "You'll have to be my bridesmaid, then."

I couldn'thelp but laugh. "A pregnant bridesmaid? My belly will probably be bigger than yours by that time."

As I said that, I couldn't help but feel a little worried. If Flora didn't tell me about it today, I wouldn't have realized that my belly was bigger than pregnant women who had the same gestation period as me. It seemed like I couldn't continue eating the way I did, or else it would be difficult for me to go into labor.

"That doesn't matter!" She exclaimed. "I don't care. You just have to be my bridesmaid!"

At that point, she began to talk me through the process. I just smiled at her as I listened. I occasionally responded whenever she would ask me something.

"By the way, are you going to get married soon?" Flora suddenly asked. "I heard Prince Rufus has already proposed."

My heart ached upon hearing that, but I tried to mask what I felt by smiling. "It hasn't been decided yet. I don't think we'll be able to hold a wedding any time soon."

"But doesn't Prince Rufus want to marry you? Is he going to delay the wedding? But why?" She looked at me in confusion as she tried to help me figure out what Rufus was thinking.

I didn't know how to answer her. I knew Rufus couldn't wait to marry me, but I was dragging it on purpose.

Fortunately, Warren came back at that moment, which helped me get out of that awkward situation.

I quickly greeted him and stood up to bid goodbye to Flora. "I won't bother you guys anymore. I'll be leaving now."

"Why don't you stay a little longer?" Warren asked, wanting me to stay. He had already calmed down, and he seemed like his old self again. "My father and Edwin want to talk to you about something. They're on their way here."

I gave him a bewildered look. "What do they want to talk to me about?"

"They want you to take over the position as the Alpha. You're Leonard's daughter. You should come back and lead the pack," Warren replied.

Just when I was about to refuse, the guard outside came in and reported that Owen and Edwin had arrived.

Great. Three people were working together and persuading me to take over the position now.

However, I directly refused. I had to leave sooner or later, so I couldn't inherit the position.

"Sylvia, you're far more capable than you think. The pack right now is facing internal and external strife. We just can't manage without an Alpha," Owen earnestly advised.

"I understand, but I'm afraid I can't win the support of the public. Even though I'm Leonard's daughter, I'm just an illegitimate daughter in the eyes of those people," I insisted with a sigh. "When Leonard was still alive, he actually wanted to hand over the pack to Warren. You should know this already. If Alina successfully got married at that time, Leonard would probably announce Warren as the successor of the Alpha. You see. Both he and the pack members hoped that Warren could take over the position as the Alpha, so I think Warren is the best candidate."
