The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 218

Warren's POV:

Flora was stunned and fell silent for what seemed like an eternity. Then she rolled her eyes and turned her head away, muttering, "Why are you so narcissistic?"

But I saw that her little face was flushed, which I found adorable.

I too fell silent, pondering over how Flora just said that I was the best-looking man in the pack. Only then did it dawn on me that the girl in front of me actually liked me.

Recalling what had happened in the equipment room, I felt even worse. Perhaps Flora had liked me for a long time. After all, when we were still with the pack, she had been watching me from the sidelines. That would've explained why she was willing to stay and help me back in the equipment room—I was her first man, despite the situation.

But... what about me? What had I done? Before that day, I didn't even know her. When I made love to her, I had actually called out Sylvia's name. I shook my head guiltily. I was really a jerk.

It seemed Flora was also lost in thought. She was staring blankly at nothing in particular.

I knew she was a shy girl, so I didn't try to press her more. Instead, I tried to think of ways to make things up to this poor girl. Maybe I couldn't reciprocate her feelings just yet, but I could at least take responsibility of her.

Just then, Flora suddenly raised her head and looked at me seriously, as if she had made an important decision. "Warren."

"Yes?" I asked as coolly as I could, despite the fact that I was nervous. Was she going to confess her love to me now?

"You have to admit that what happened in the equipment room that day was all your fault. You know that, right?" Flora asked seriously, crossing her arms over her chest.

I was stunned for a moment. Thinking of how absurd our first time was together, I grew serious as well. "Yes, it was all my fault. The responsibility lies with me. I'm sorry, Flora."

"It's useless to apologize. Just tell me if you are willing to take responsibility for it or not." Flora stared at me with a straight face. "It doesn't matter if you're unwilling. I can always find someone else—"

So... we were together now, right? It should be the case. She had finally taken off her mask of indifference to me. Which could only mean that we were together.

This was my first time to be in a relationship, and my heartbeat was so fast that I felt dizzy. This was probably her first relationship, too. I wondered if her heart was beating as fast as mine.

I took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to stretch out my hand, trying to take Flora's hand in mine.

But before I could even get close, Flora started to run.

"See you tomorrow! I'll head back now!" she shouted as she ran. It didn't take long before she disappeared from my line of sight.

I was so stunned that I didn't move until quite a while later.
