The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 326

Sylvia's POV:

Rufus tucked my hair behind my ear gently and sighed. "Get up first. I need a second to calm down."

I nodded but nibbled his lips cheekily one last time before finally pulling away. I obediently got off Rufus but my eyes wandered to his lower body.

Rufus had also sat up. Although his face looked calm, his bulging crotch betrayed his true feelings.

I bit my lower lip anxiously. Rufus just got hit by a silver bullet. Even though I managed to take out the bullet, I wasn't sure if he was really okay now; so I didn't dare provoke him any further. Lowering my head, I peeled his shirt off and helped him bandage the wound on his shoulder.

A couple of minutes later, the wolves began to stir again. Rin, who had run off somewhere earlier, had returned. She was carrying two thick branches in her mouth, with thick clusters of berries hanging on them.

She strode towards us and spat out the branches in front of Rufus, deliberately poking her head in between me and Rufus.

After casting a sidelong glance at Rufus, Rin whined and rubbed her head against my palm, asking me to pet her.

I happily obliged and rubbed the spot behind her ears vigorously. "Thanks, Rin. You're so thoughtful."

This wasn't the first time this had happened. A little while back, Rin had also brought food to us when Rufus was wounded.

In a society of werewolves, such an act could be considered a simple courtesy. But for wild wolves, sharing food was a matter reserved for family. Since Rin had given us food on more than one occasion, it seemed that she already regarded us as her family.

As I scratched the back of her ears, Rin stuck out her tongue happily.

Seeing this, Rufus snorted jealously. "It must be nice to feel your touch."

"She seems to like this spot the most." I scratched Rin's ears again and chuckled.

The man beside me fell silent. I turned to look at him and found that Rufus' expression darkened.

I immediately stopped petting Rin and scooted closer to Rufus, smiling at him flirtatiously. "Of course, I like touching you more."

Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.

Squatting down next to Rin, I reached out to hold one of her paws. "Can you do me another favor?"

Rin let out a short bark and tilted her head to the side in confusion.

"Could you ask the other wolves to take the wounded back?" I looked at Rin expectantly, hoping she'd understand what I was asking of her.

Rin shifted her weight and patted me on the shoulder with her other paw. Then, she raised her nose to the sky and howled twice. It seemed that she had agreed. Then, she lowered her head and licked my cheek.

I couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, time to get to work, Rin."

As though she understood me, Rin stood up obediently. Once more, she raised her head and howled majestically, and the pack of wild wolves immediately sprang into action.

They quickly set out to pick up the wounded men on the ground and hoisted them on their backs. Then, they ran towards the exit of the forest as fast as they could.
