The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 179

Sylvia's POV:

The dark pit was damp and gloomy. My clothes were already soaked.

The weather in the forbidden forest was unpredictable. It was sunny a while ago, but it was raining now. The howling wind frightened me.

I crouched behind the giant rock to shield myself but it was useless. The downpour grew violent with every passing minute.

My hair stuck to my cheeks, and I broke into a cold sweat. Every bone in my body hurt. I tried moving, but the beast trap crushed my arm and held me in place.

The paths in the forbidden forest were intricate, and wild animals appeared from time to time. I ran away from the wild eyes and fell into the beast trap in a fit of panic.

The steel clamp of the beast trap held me in place, making it impossible for me to move.

I struggled hard but couldn't open the trap. My energy gradually drained, and I couldn't even move a finger.

Finally, it stopped raining. But the storm grew stronger and turned into a hurricane. My clothes soon dried up, but the wind didn't manage to cool down my ever-increasing body temperature.

The aphrodisiac began to take effect again. I leaned back, gasping for breath. My eyes were burning. I felt I was about to die.

"What do we do now? You have to hold on, Sylvia! Rufus will come soon!" Yana said anxiously.

I opened my eyes weakly and felt a little dizzy. "Yana, I feel weak."

"Why don't you turn into a wolf?" Yana suggested.

But I couldn't bring myself to shout for help. My throat was dry, and my stomach churned with anxiety.

Just then, the sound of footsteps grew faster and louder. I lifted my head and saw Rufus in his wolf form. Before I could react, he jumped into the pit and held me in his arms as if he had found his lost treasure.

He was gasping for breath, and I could feel his racing heartbeat.

"Sorry, I'm late."

I leaned weakly in his arms and greedily inhaled his scent. "How did you know I was here?"

"I heard you calling me." Rufus pulled back a little and cupped my cheek with one hand. "All you have to do is say my name, and I will appear in front of you."
