The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:
Amused with Blair, I couldn't help smiling. To be fair, he did help me a lot this time and I felt sincerely grateful.
"Seriously, thank you. You can have anything you want."
"Really?" The playful expression on Blair's face disappeared and he looked serious. Casually, he put his hands behind his head and leaned back. "So, who on earth is this little Sylvia? What did she do to make the most elusive Prince Rufus care about her so much? She's not just any slave, is she?"
"It's Sylvia's potential that caught my eye." I gave a blunt remark. In respect of the agreement between me and my father, I couldn't tell Blair that Sylvia and I were mates.
"You noticed it too?" Blair nodded seriously. "Yes, indeed. Let me tell you, when Sylvia broke that test rock, I knew that outburst of power was something else. Although she couldn't explain it herself afterward, i was still very strange."
"The only explanation the doctor could give was that Sylvia is very malnourished and weak. Her body could not take such a wild burst of strength. She's going to need time to recover," I said lightly. I looked up at the door, my heart aching. Sylvia really used to live such a hard life.
"It does make me very curious as to what kind life she used to live," Blair said, as if he had read exactly what was on my mind.
The corners of my mouth twitched. "Sylvia's mother was the Beta of her pack. Unfortunately, she was framed and accused of murdering their Alpha and Luna. The pack had punished her by execution. Right now, I'm helping Sylvia with her mother's case. There was a witness during the trial who has since disappeared and I have already sent out some men to reinvestigate the whole thing, but I haven't gotten any news about it yet."

This mastermind seemed to be smart and closed all loose ends. The same could probably be said about how premeditated the plan was to frame Sylvia's mother in the first place. Originally, I was just planning to wait until hopefully the mastermind slipped up and showed themselves. But having this matter out in the open was putting Sylvia in grave danger. Anyone could use this as a reason to kill her at any time. I never wanted to see Sylvia hurt again. I didn't even want her to have any reason to cry anymore.
Stressed, I brought out my cigarette box, handing one over to Blair as well. "That's why I was hoping I could use your manpower as well."
"No problem at all," Blair agreed almost instantaneously. He took out a lighter from his pocket and lit up our cigarettes. "I can arrange it by tonight."
I nodded, puffing out smoke rings. Blair might have seemed like a lazy smooth- talker in normal situations, but he was straight up serious whenever it came down to doing business.
"We have to conduct a deeper investigation on Sylvia's parents as well. Something tells me there's more to Sylvia's origin than just being the daughter of a Beta." Nibbling on the cigarette in my mouth, I allowed myself to get lost in my thoughts. Blair smoked silently as well, but I couldn't quite tell what he could be thinking about right now.
It wasn't until I could feel the heat of the cigarette on my fingers that I came back to my sense.
I took two last drags before stubbing the butt on the ashtray. "Make sure to keep a low profile about this. I don't want anyone else knowing."
Blair replied confidently, "I know. You shouldn't worry about how I execute my projects."
"By the way, have you given it some thought already?" I gave Blair a knowing glance.
"Well, I really wanted to refuse. But since I got to meet Sylvia already, I think I've changed my mind." Blair smiled cheekily, switching back to his sweet-talking self.
I tried not to give him a warning look. Although his tone sounded like he could be teasing, I had a feeling he was serious about what he just said.
Just when I was about to say something to subtly mark Sylvia as mine, we heard Maya's voice from inside the room. "Miss Todd! You're finally awake!"
Hearing that took away any desire left to talk to Blair. I turned around and went to open the door.
"Wait, I also want to see Sylvia." Blair smoothed out his clothes, wanting to follow me inside.
I frowned and asked rather rudely, "Does she have anything to do with you?"

Sylvia was a smart and proud
she-wolf. If she found out that I sent
someone to secretly protect her, she would be angry and think that I didn't have confidence in her. When I thought of this, I got scared, which was something I hadn't felt in a long time. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
