Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 455

Sylvia’s POV:

After slapping him, I returned to my human form and pressed the giant silver wolf under my body.

The giant wolf was listless and lowered his ears humbly, letting me do whatever I wanted to him.

He swept his big tail on the floor and then wrapped it around my waist affectionately.

I looked at him unhappily and bit down on his ear—hard.

The giant wolf let out a light cry, and his big tail tightened the grip around me.

Finally, I patted the wolf’s tail and said calmly, “Let go of me. I’m going to get off.”

The big tail slowly unraveled and lay on the floor lifelessly.

Now that I had vented my anger, I felt calm. I sat up and said flatly, “You can explain now.”

Rufus turned into his human form and sat up. His hair was in a mess, and there were several teeth marks on his chin. His clothes were also disheveled and torn.

He ran his fingers through my hair helplessly and sighed. “I’m glad you’re not angry anymore.”

I glared at him and snorted, “I have to listen to the criminal’s statement before sentencing him to death.”

Rufus didn’t take my cold attitude seriously. He smiled and pecked me on the cheek, acting like a spoiled brat.

Irked but helpless, I sat in his arms and waited for him to explain.

When he reached the part where he mistook Ashley for me, I began to feel uncomfortable again.

“I wouldn’t have mistaken anyone else for you,” I said begrudgingly.

Rufus immediately lowered his head and took my hand. “Ashley’s a vampire, remember? Her special power is to create illusions. I soon found out that it wasn’t you.”

I frowned and recalled what the soldiers had said back at the banquet.

“But the werewolves from this pack mentioned that Ashley’s special power hadn’t been awakened yet. If Geoffrey had sent her to seduce you, wouldn’t that mean Geoffrey knew about her special power beforehand?”

Rufus thought for a while and pondered, “Maybe Geoffrey doesn’t know about her special power and had only sent her to seduce me. Or maybe Ashley has kept her special power a secret, unbeknownst to the werewolves of this pack.”

If this was true, then Ashley was even more suspicious. She could have escaped with her special power, but she had decided to stay here as a slave and let the werewolves trample on her mercilessly.

Did she have any unspeakable difficulty that she’d choose this life over freedom?

I recalled how scared Ashley was before she left. Her tears looked genuine, and she seemed to see Rufus as her lifesaver.

Thinking of this, I looked down at Rufus’ strong arm, which Ashley had touched.

Rufus noticed my troubled gaze and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

“Where else did she touch?” I asked him in a hoarse voice.

Rufus gently cupped my cheek and stared at me intently. “I didn’t touch her, nor did she touch me, except for the last part where I tried to drive her away. And it was because I was afraid that you’d misunderstand me that I pulled her arms in a hurry. Everything I did was part of my plan to deceive Geoffrey, including the words I said before the slave was taken away. My plan is to get the slave to help us investigate this pack, I have a hunch she’ll be our trump card. I promise you this: I have never nor will I ever do anything to betray you. I love you so much, Sylvia. Please stop hating me, okay?”

Rufus’ tone sounded more and more aggrieved.

I pursed my lips. Of course I knew that I was the only one he loved. But the moment I kicked the door open and saw them together, my heart was shattered. My sanity was also on the brink of collapse.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, Rufus. I just care about you too much,” I murmured under my breath.

When it came to love, everyone was a lunatic to some degree. Logic would be tossed out the window, replaced only with raw emotions. I couldn’t imagine what would happen to me if Rufus didn’t love me anymore. Maybe I would lose my mind.

Rufus lowered his head and kissed my forehead lovingly. He sighed and whispered, “I know, love. I understand. You don’t know how flustered I was just now. I was afraid that you would never talk to me again.”

I snorted, “Then don’t do it again. Although nothing happened between you two, I just can’t stand the thought of you sharing the same room with another female for four damn hours.”

As I spoke, I got close to Rufus and sniffed carefully. Sure enough, although it was nearly gone, I caught a faint whiff of Ashley’s unique smell.

This upset me again.
