Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 187
Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Sylviaâs POV:
The following morning, just as the sun began to climb in the horizon, Rufus and I set off for the forbidden forest.
I followed him carefully, medical kit in tow. Rufusâ guards were also there in the shadows, where we couldnât see.
We had wanted to take a doctor with us, but when the doctor found out where we were going, he fainted on the spot. Eventually, Rufus convinced me to let go of the idea that we were going to bring that poor doctor.
We didnât stop until we reached the edge of the forbidden forest. Rufus turned to me, straightened my collar, and put a woolen hat on my head snugly. âDonât leave my side. Just follow my lead. If we canât find the grey wolf, then weâll have to leave immediately.â
âOkay.â I nodded, slipping my hand into his. âDonât worry. I donât plan on exploring by myself.â
Rufus smiled slightly, then together, we entered the forbidden forest.
Not long after, we were met with a group of around a dozen wild wolves.
I looked at them on high alert. They stared back at me and Rufus, not daring to act rashly. They seemed to be afraid of Rufus.
All of a sudden, the group wild wolves raised their noses to the sky and began to howl uneasily. Their voices sounded anxious, as though they wanted us to follow them.
Rufus and I exchanged suspicious glances and followed them immediately.

Rufus and I axchangad suspicious glancas and followad tham immadiataly.
âAre they taking us to see the grey wolf?â I asked with confusion, seeing how eagerly those wolves led the way. âI thought they abandoned the grey wolf yesterday.â
âI guess weâre going to find out.â Rufus squeezed my hand gently to comfort me.
The wild wolves soon led us to a cave. It was dark, dank, and cramped, but in the corner lay the dying grey wolf.
Rufus pulled out a flashlight to illuminate the cave and pointed it at the grey wolf so that we could survey its injuries more clearly.
The grey wolfâs hair stuck was matted, and its body trembled. Thankfully, we could see that it was still breathing, albeit faintly. B***d still seeped out of its throat wound. If Rufus and I didnât come here today, it wouldâve bled out.
Fortunately, Rufusâ bite wasnât lethal, or it wouldnât have been able to hold on for this long.
As soon as we got close, the grey wolfâs bloodshot eyes opened and it looked at Rufus vigilantly. A low whimper sounded from its throat.
âHow about you wait here first?â I turned my head and looked at Rufus hesitantly. âI think itâs scared.â
Pursing his lips, Rufus didnât say anything but took a step back.
The grey wolf started to whimper even louder, as if it wanted to drive Rufus away.
âWhy donât you wait outside?â I suggested, my voice barely above a whisper.
This time, Rufus didnât compromise. He passed me with a long face and pulled out a pistol from his pocket. I could tangibly feel his malicious aura seeping at the seams. His eyes were icy cold, and his message to the grey wolf was clear: if it made that sound again, he would shoot it in cold b***d.
Sure enough, the grey wolf fell silent, albeit gritting its teeth. I couldnât help but pity it.
I quickly pulled Rufus aside. âStop scaring it. Trust me. Nothingâs going to happen. Just wait for me at the entrance of the cave. Iâll go out once Iâve bound up its wound. Itâs so weak now. It definitely canât hurt me.â
Rufus looked at the grey wolf lying helplessly on the ground and snorted coldly. Finally, he put the pistol back in its holster.
âSo, will you wait outside?â I looked at him, surprised that he was so obedient.
In the end, of course, it turned out that I had hoped for too much. Rufus simply walked to a large boulder nearby and sat down. His posture was leisurely yet somewhat stubborn, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the grey wolf. It was obvious that, from his position, if the grey wolf tried anything, he could pounce on it like lightning.
I felt helpless yet moved, so I let him stay there.
Then, I slowly approached the grey wolf. The truth was, I was a little nervous, afraid that the wolf would suddenly bare its sharp teeth and bite me out of the blue.
