Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 67

Sylvia’s POV:

Rufus invited me to be his date to a ball? I thought I just had an auditory hallucination, so I didn’t know what to say.

“Will you agree, Sylvia?” As he spoke, Rufus’ gaze were fixed on me, and only my reflection could be seen in his eyes.

We were very close to each other. If I raised my head even slightly, I would already touch the tip of his nose.

The sweet scent of his body made me feel dizzy. I just nodded my head instinctively.

“I’ll come to pick you up on Friday then,” he added. His deep and magnetic voice made my brain freeze for a moment.

Damn! Could he stop showing off his charm? My nose started to itch again. I was afraid that I would have an embarrassing nosebleed again like last time, so I quickly pushed him away and said, “Hey, I can hear you perfectly. No need to get this close to me.”

I covered my nose and only dared to glance at him out of the corner of my eye. Fortunately, Rufus didn’t get angry after I pushed him away.

“All right, that’s it.” He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked at me leisurely.

“What are you talking about?” I rubbed my nose, and it was only then that I came back to my senses. I was so flustered that I wanted to go back on my words. “What ball? I can’t dance. Can I not go?”

“Are you going back on your words now?” Rufus asked, glaring at me coldly.

I nodded without hesitation. “I will only embarrass you if I go. And my identity…”

But before I could finish my words, Rufus sneered. His handsome face showed a trace of irrefutable aggressiveness. “You can’t possibly go back on your words.”

I knew it! How could Rufus be so easy to persuade? I could only lower my head in frustration.

He rubbed my head with his warm palm. “It’s just an ordinary ball. If you don’t know how to dance, I’ll arrange someone to teach you. With me by your side, you have nothing to be afraid of. Besides…”

Rufus paused, reached out and raised my chin, and continued, “You will be attending similar parties frequently with me in the future. You’d better get used to it as soon as possible.”

His words were domineering and likely to make others misunderstand. He was so tempting that I could only give in and say, “I have to go back now. There is a time limit for us to stay outside. I will be in trouble if I can’t go back in time.” I helplessly shook off his hand, lowered my head, and pretended to be calm.

At this moment, a delicate envelope came into view. I hesitated for a moment before I took it over.

“That’s the invitation card to the ball. It’s a special night, so as long as you have that invitation card, you can freely leave and enter the academy without worrying about the curfew.” Rufus’ voice sounded above my head.

I carefully removed the seal on the back of the envelope and took out the invitation card. It was exquisitely made, and the material had a high-grade wooden fragrance. The content was very formal, and Rufus and I’s names were next to each other at the end. It looked more like a wedding invitation card than an elaborate ball invitation.

Looking at the invitation, I pressed my lips tightly. I couldn’t help but start to picture out some wedding scenes of Rufus and me in my mind. Only if that day would ever come.

“Ballroom dancing is very simple, so you don’t need to worry about it at all. I will arrange an instructor for you in the following evenings. You can follow Maya’s arrangements by then,” Rufus said again.

No matter what, he always arranged everything for me. I didn’t have the heart to refuse again, so I agreed and took it as the last chance to be willful.
