The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)

Chapter 98 Conversation By The River

Warren's POV:

I couldn't bear to see Sylvia's pallid face. However, my mind instantly flitted to Alina. Thinking how upset she would be to see Sylvia at the ball, I gritted my teeth and decided to continue speaking. I had to make her see the reality and ruin all her hopes. That was the only way I could stop her from attending the ball.

"You must have heard about Lucy, right?" I asked.

Everyone knew that Lucy had become Prince Richard's mate. Moreover, Sylvia had a well-informed talkative friend, Flora. So I knew the news was no surprise to her.

However, she didn't say anything but just looked at me and nodded. Her eyes lost their glow and suddenly looked dull. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I gazed at the reeds by the river and sighed. Sylvia's sadness bothered me. "I got the news that Prince Richard is going to take Lucy to the ball and announce their wedding date in public. Lucy has a noble background, but you are just a slave."

Sylvia's jaw tightened when she heard that. Tears welled up in her melancholic eyes. I held my head with my hand and slumped down. Perhaps someday in the future Alina would be with another man, someone came from a noble family as well. The thought of me not being the reason for her happiness broke my heart.

I had thought only parting with Alina would hurt me. However, Sylvia's teary eyes made me upset even more. I was depressed. I had a lot to say but didn't know where to begin.

I stood up awkwardly and pretended to be cold. "Anyway, you better not attend the ball. Not only Lucy, but Alina will also be there. She is the daughter of Alpha Leonard, who has noble lycan

bloodline. They are powerful people. Only her status and wealth are comparable with Lucy's. Moreover, everyone loves Alina."

I cleared my throat and added, "I don't want her to be unhappy because of you."

Sylvia snapped her head up to look at me. Her eyes widened as if she had understood something. "Why were you beating around the bush for so long? Alina asked you to say all this to me, didn't she?"

"No. She didn't ask me to do anything," I faltered. Sylvia's question made me feel guilty and nervous. I didn't expect Sylvia to be smart enough to see through me.

"No?" Sylvia squealed.

"I'm sorry for being rude before. I sincerely apologize for my behavior. I have to admit that you have great potential." The guilt was eating me up. I wanted to apologize to her. But I didn't forget my goal. "But you, as a slave, can't get involved in the royal family's affairs."

I advised her not just for Alina but for her own sake as well. She was a promising she-wolf with great potential. I hoped she would stay away from the royal family and concentrate on training and becoming stronger. If she managed to join the Royal Army in the future, I could introduce her to Alpha Leonard and help her get rid of her identity as a slave completely.

But Sylvia didn't appreciate my kindness at all. She glared at me and said, "All right. Let's fight. We didn't finish it the last time. Let's fight properly now to see who is stronger."

'What the hell is going on? Has Sylvia lost her mind?' I frowned in confusion. "No. You are no match for me."

Sylvia sneered. "You coward! You can just say that you are scared instead of coming up with silly excuses."

"You..." My pupils suddenly dilated. No one had ever called me a coward before. Anger surged through my veins. I wanted to fight her.

"Okay!"

I growled. Perhaps Sylvia would listen to me after I defeat her.
