Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 202

Sylvia’s POV:

My eyes fluttered open slowly, only to be greeted by the white ceiling and the wet nose of a wolf. I then heard an excited howl.

I didn’t realize until I fully came to my senses that a gray wolf was nudging my shoulder with its snout.

Grey? Why was it here?

Shouldn’t it be in the forbidden forest?

What about Rufus?

I was both confused and surprised. When I was about to speak, I found that my throat was still too dry. No sound came out of my mouth.

At this time, I felt a pair of hands help me sit up. It was Rufus.

I turned to him in a daze. He must have not shaved for days. His clothes looked disheveled too.

“Have some water.”

Rufus gave me a glass of water. After gulping the whole glass down, I felt much better.

“What happened? I feel so weak…” I managed to croak out. Even just sitting up was still tiring, so I had to lean against Rufus’ chest.

Rufus’ hand came up to my face and wiped my mouth. “You got poisoned and was in a coma for a while. You just woke up.”

Even though it was just a few words, it was enough information. I knotted my eyebrows. “How did I get poisoned? I don’t remember eating anything bad.”

“Don’t move. Just stay in my arms for a while.” Rufus pulled me into an embrace and sighed. “You scared me to death.”

Refusing to be outdone, the gray wolf craned its neck, trying to get me to pat its head. But Rufus immediately pushed it out of the bed with his one hand.

“Hey, don’t be so mean to it.” I looked at them, amused.

Rufus frowned at the wolf and blocked my view of it with his hand. “Don’t even look at it.”

I pushed his hand away. “Well, anyway, are you going to tell me how I got poisoned?”

“Your school uniform was found stained with poison. Since the wound on your arm was still open, the poison was able to directly infiltrate into your bloodstream, allowing it to attack you quicker.” Rufus didn’t seem to enjoy recalling the events at all, his face darkening as he spoke. “We found the one who poisoned you. It was the director of the office of the teaching affairs, Kyle, who also turned out to be Lucy’s lover.”

“Lucy’s lover?” My eyes widened. “That means they figured out I was a witness to their affair? No wonder the new uniform had this faint but strange smell. I thought it was just the new fabric… Anyway, how was I detoxified later on? Did Kyle give the antidote?”

“No.” He then turned to the gray wolf. “It came and saved you.”

As soon as Rufus finished speaking, the wolf let out an unfriendly growl at him.

I did not expect the gray wolf to be the one to save me. To me, it felt like good karma. The universe must have returned my good deed back to me.

I patted the edge of my bed, making room for the gray wolf. “Come here.”

At once, the gray wolf jumped up and rubbed its head against me affectionately. I gave its head some grateful pats. “Thank you very much for saving me.”

The gray wolf seemed to perfectly understand what I just said. It rubbed against me even more and its tail wagged happily.

I couldn’t help but giggle as I changed the bandage around its neck.

“I don’t think I can just keep calling you Grey. That’s not a proper name.” After finishing up with its new bandage, I thought for a while. “Maybe I’ll call you Rin from now on. What do you think about that?”

The gray wolf tilted its head to the side for a few moments. Soon, it pounced on me and excitedly licked my face.

I held its paws and leaned backwards, slightly tickled by its tongue. “I guess that’s a yes, Rin.”

After a while, Rufus thought that it was about time he take Rin back to the forbidden forest.

I gave Rin one last hug. “I’ll drop by more often to see you and your babies when they come out. Until then, please be more careful and take care of yourself.”

Rin whimpered softly and licked my hand.

Without any hesitation, Rufus held Rin by the back of its neck and dragged it out. “Rest up, Sylvia. I’ll be right back.”

“Maybe I should also–” I was going to say something but shut my mouth at the sight of Rufus’ sour expression. “Never mind. Go ahead. I’ll try to get some more sleep.”

“Behave yourself.” Rufus then left with Rin.

But not long after that, just when I was about to fall asleep, I heard the vibrant voices of Harry and Flora. My sleepiness was washed away immediately.
