The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 516

Flora's POV:

Warren suggested to break out by force, which was probably our last option.

If we couldn't succeed, we'd have to face Geoffrey's wrath.

"Stay behind me. I'll protect you." Warren gently pulled me behind him and then led the way.

I was stunned. When I looked up at his tall, towering back, my heart skipped a beat.

Although I hated to admit it, it was true that Warren was a good, responsible guy.

If it weren't for all the misunderstandings and setbacks in the past, he still would've been the most handsome and attractive werewolf in my eyes.

Alas, I didn't have time to think about such things now.

I shook my head and pushed these thoughts to the back of my mind.

"Flora, aren't you coming?" Warren stopped in his tracks to turn around and look at me in confusion.

"Yes, yes." I came to my senses and hastily caught up to him.

Warren looked at me seriously and said in a low voice, "If anything happens, just stay behind me, okay?"

I nodded. "Okay. I'll keep my mouth shut, I promise."

Then I exaggeratedly covered my mouth. "I will keep my temper under control."

Warren shook his head helplessly but didn't say anything more. He faced forward and continued to lead me towards the gate.

From afar, I could see that the guard was dozing off. I pulled at Warren's sleeve quickly and whispered, "Maybe we can sneak past the guard!" "Let's see." Warren held his index finger to his lips then walked to the gate, quiet as a mouse.

However, a reproachful voice barked at us from behind.

"Who are you and why are you here? Identify yourselves!"

It was a soldier on patrol.

Damn it! Geoffrey's defense system was too tight.

When the guard heard the sharp voice of his colleague, he immediately snapped to attention and looked at us fiercely, clutching the weapon in his hands tightly.

I raised my head to look at Warren's determined face. A myriad of conflicted thoughts crowded into my mind.

Warren seemed to have noticed my stare and looked down at me. He pursed his lips and whispered, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers came at us again. This time, they held their weapons up high, ready to fight us.

But before a single blow could be landed, Geoffrey's sharp voice suddenly pierced the tense atmosphere.

"Stop!"

I looked up and, sure enough, Geoffrey was walking towards us with his subordinates.

My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach and I mentally prepared myself for the worst.

But to my surprise, Geoffrey walked right past us and headed straight to the gate. He unlocked it and opened it for us himself.

"Go ahead. But be careful." Geoffrey looked at Warren and me with a cryptic smile.

He seemed to have guessed what we were up to.
