The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 433

Sylvia's POV:

The three of us arrived at the appointed place. We waited for what seemed like an eternity, but there was still no sign of Harry.

"Did that idiot forget about our mission?" Flora was going crazy. She kept scratching her arms and whining, "The mosquitoes are eating me alive!"

The climate here was much hotter than that of the imperial capital, so we all wore plain loose T -shirts.

Our meeting spot was in front of a remote wasteland. Not only were there countless mosquitoes, but also plenty of unidentifiable bugs. They liked to crawl on our skin and bite us, but fortunately, they weren't poisonous.

Warren and I didn't seem to attract these bugs and mosquitoes. Flora, on the other hand, was different. Just like Harry, she attracted these insects like honey attracted ants. We weren't standing there long before her arms were covered in swollen red spots.

Warren offered his thin coat to her for the nth time. "Put it on. It'll protect you from the bugs." Flora pursed her lips and looked at the coat wordlessly. She seemed to be hesitating.

I couldn't keep watching her suffer so I took the coat from Warren and draped it across Flora's shoulders. "If you want to fall asleep tonight, stop being so stubborn."

Flora tightened the coat around her body but said nothing. She had finally given in to Warren's kindness. Unable to look him in the eye, she lowered her head and mumbled, "Thanks."

Warren smiled at her dotingly. "You're welcome."

I cleared my throat awkwardly and once again felt that I shouldn't have been here.

Just as we were about to lose our patience, Harry finally showed up. He was followed by John, which took us aback.

Flora and I exchanged confused glances.

Harry and John had been almost inseparable the past few days. Even when Flora and I talked with Harry, John would sit next to him, even if he didn't say anything.

It all felt a bit strange. Was John a gay and he was into Harry?

The more I thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. I recalled how Harry had desperately tried to avoid John before. Was it because Harry knew that John was a gay?

When the escorts approached us, I overheard one of the soldiers shouting, "I wonder what Alpha Geoffrey is thinking. How could he offer this humble slave to Prince Rufus? How could he let a noble man like Prince Rufus be stained by such a lowly vampire slave?"

"But you have to admit that this bitch is a ten out of ten. She's probably prettier than Prince Rufus's mate. Maybe the prince will like her..." another soldier said with a knowing smile, his obscene eyes still fixed on Ashley's scantily-clad body.

"You're right."

The soldiers' laughter faded away as they passed us.

The expressions of Flora and the others changed subtly and they looked at me gingerly.

Even I had to admit that my mind was in a mess. But I thought about how Rufus had asked me to trust him no matter what. This helped me quickly regain my composure.

"Sylvia, do you want to follow them?" Flora asked carefully.

"No need. I trust Rufus." I shook my head confidently. "The mission at hand is more important. Let's get out of here first."
