Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 315

Sylvia’s POV:

Rin paced back and forth at the edge of the swamp, as though she had no idea what to do. Soon, she raised one paw and was about to step onto the swamp.

“Wait! Don’t come any closer! It’s dangerous!” I hurriedly stopped her. Then, from the corner of my eye, I saw the other end of the vine that Peter had thrown on the ground earlier. “Quick! Grab the end of the vine over there!”

Rin tilted her head in confusion. She didn’t seem to understand what I was asking. She ran around in circles, pawing at the ground anxiously.

I struggled to raise my end of the vine out of the mud and showed it to her.

“Bite the other end of the vine.”

Finally, Rin understood me. She picked up the vine on the shore with her mouth and yanked it hard. She used all her strength, pulling as hard as she could. Her big ears even turned backwards from the effort.

Slowly but surely, my body was dragged forward as I clung to the vine. As soon as I could, I gritted my teeth and pulled the rest of my body out of the swamp.

“Good job, Rin! Keep going!” Clutching the vine tightly, I tried to get close to the edge of the swamp.

Rin let out a guttural bark from deep in her throat. The muscles on her limbs tightened as she tugged at the vine with all her might.

Thanks to her pulling and my pushing, I finally made it out of the swamp.

“Thank you, Rin. You saved my life.” Covered in mud, I gently rubbed Rin’s forehead with mine to show my gratitude.

Rin was so happy that she licked my face and howled excitedly. Soon. my face was covered with her slobber.

“Anyway, I’m out of time! We need to get out of here!” I quickly came to my senses. Peter had told me that there were bombs buried nearby. Although I didn’t know where exactly, the sooner I informed the army, the better.

Rin howled and ran ahead.

However, it didn’t take long before I saw troops in the distance, supposedly coming to our rescue.

“Stop! Go back! Don’t come any closer!” I shouted at them anxiously, waving at them to leave.

But the army couldn’t hear me clearly. Instead of stopping, they approached me steadily. The leader was a young male werewolf. He was probably a captain.

“What happened? Is everything okay?”

There was no time to answer his questions. I could only tell them to get away as soon as they could. “Run! There are bombs in the area! They’ll explode any second now!”

“What?! Bombs? What’re you talking about?” My words didn’t seem to register in his mind.

But before I could explain, an explosion sounded nearby. And the ground shook violently. My legs went numb for a moment.

A bomb had exploded, and the forest was shrouded in flames. It was as though the entire world was on fire, ready to eat us alive. The temperature in the forest soared in an instant, and licks of flame quickly spread in our direction.

“Get down!” A lot of troops were thrown into the sky from the impact. A couple of them were lying on the ground, unconscious and injured.

Amidst the chaos, I held onto Rin tightly. At the same time, I felt someone wrap his arms around me and yank me away from the fire. The impact sent us rolling on the ground a few times before we finally came to a stop.

After the forest quieted down a bit, everyone slowly stood up, stunned.

Only then did I realize that the man who had protected me was none other than the captain himself. His back was burnt black and bleeding, whereas I was fine, other than a bruise on my leg.

“Sir… Thank you so much.” I eyed the wound on his back warily. Rin, who was standing next to us, also howled, as though she was thanking him as well.

Wincing, the man smile faintly. “You’re welcome. It’s a soldier’s duty to protect the students and the civilians.”

His words shocked me. For the first time, I really understood the motivation of the army.

After saying that, he reached out his hand and patted Rin’s head affectionately. “Your dog must be pretty smart. He seems to understand what we’re saying.”

I scratched my head sheepishly. “Actually, Rin’s a wild wolf… and, it’s a she…”

Rin also bared her teeth and howled fiercely, as though to prove that she was indeed wild.

With a wry smile, he withdrew his hand and said, “Okay, I’m sorry. This wild wolf looks… looks so cute. Ha-ha.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle. Now that I had made sure that the captain was going to be okay, I quickly stood up to check on the other soldiers.

Fortunately, we stopped them in time. Nobody was near the center of the explosion. Therefore, while many were indeed injured, we didn’t suffer any casualties.
