The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:
I was so terrified that I started shaking. The monstrous fear swaddled me, making it difficult for me to draw in a full breath.
Fortunately, the black thorn only grew slightly before it stopped.
"What's wrong?" Rufus turned his head and asked.
I reflexively hid the reason from him. "No, nothing..."
"Nothing changed?" He looked a little perplexed. "Do you want to try again? With a little more blood?"
"No! There's no need!" I was so agitated that I refused without a second thought.
Rufus was startled and spun around instantly. "What's wrong? Is the change bad?" he asked in a worried voice as he placed his hand on my forehead. "Sylvia, are you alright?"
Realizing that I was behaving erratically, I took a small step back. "I'm fine."
"Really?" His eyes narrowed as he watched me suspiciously.
I pretended to be unaffected and gave him a smile. "I think I was just hallucinating right now. My blood doesn't work, so I guess this is not Noreen's curse." "No, Sylvia, you're not telling the truth." Rufus didn't believe me. His eyebrows furrowed and he studied my face carefully.
I inhaled deeply and said, "Fine, I'll tell you the truth. I didn't sleep a wink last night, so I feel a little woozy right now."
I could see Rufus trying to rein in his temper. He picked me up and placed me on the bed in the lounge. "Close your eyes and sleep now."
Honestly, I wasn't sleepy at all. But when I saw Rufus' thunderous expression, I didn't dare to argue with him. So, I had no choice but to obediently close my eyes.
"All right, all right. I'm going to sleep. You carry on with your work."
"I'm not leaving until you fall asleep." He caressed my face and cajoled me. "Just take a good nap and you will feel much better."
I nodded and my body gradually relaxed. In his presence, I soon drifted off to sleep.
Noon had arrived by the time I woke up.
After grabbing lunch with Rufus, I rushed to the royal library.
I had to admit that sleep certainly had a therapeutic effect. My nerves had eased considerably after my nap, but the worry still niggled at me.
The thorn on Rufus' back was slowly corroding his blood and bones.
I had to find the relevant information about the curse before the thorn was completely formed.
As soon as I arrived at the library, I began to search for information about black thorns, but had no success.
Just as there were no two same leaves in the world, there were also no two same black thorns. Everything was shrouded in mystery, and I couldn't find a single lead. Noreen appeared and disappeared with no explanation. If I hadn't randomly landed up at her lab, I feared that she wouldn't even have been on my radar right now.
If Noreen decided she wanted to stay hidden from us, she would definitely conceal her whereabouts thoroughly.
When the curse on Rufus' back did finally attack him, he would be utterly helpless. Slalch Thi (F)indNovil.let website on Googll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Desperation overwhelmed me for a moment. Standing in front of a bookshelf, I was lost in thought.

I instantly recognized Noreen's handwriting, having seen it before in her lab.
That meant the girl was Noreen!
Without a second's delay, I spun around and ran as fast as I could, trying to catch up to her.
