The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 658

Sylvia's POV:

Alina was going to marry a man that I had never even heard of.

Of course, I was a little surprised. It was too soon. Not long ago, Alina had just returned to her pack, and now I was being told that she was going to get married straight away.

"The groom is from the Laurel Pack and he's the Alpha's son. He makes quite an excellent match for Alina." Rufus sat the both of us down on the couch, gently tucking my hair behind my ears.

"It's just all so sudden. I just presumed that Leonard would set Alina up to marry a man from their pack, so that Alina and her husband would be able to take over and rule the pack together when the time came."

Alina was Leonard's only daughter, after all. He had adored her ever since she was a child. On top of that, no one else would inherit Silver Moon Pack if Alina marries into another pack. It just didn't make sense to me how he would allow a marriage like this to happen either.

"Alina is not a good candidate to be inheriting the Alpha's position. You know that when it comes to who shall be the heir to his position, Leonard would come to a more rational decision. The responsibility of an Alpha prevents him from turning over the responsibility of leading the pack to someone ill-advised, biological daughter or not."

I used to think that too, but I also felt that Leonard had already chosen Alina as his heir. Could he have changed his mind all of a sudden? It didn't seem right to me either that Alina would marry with such obedience. Again, the entire matter could not make sense to me.

Unless... Alina had maybe met her true love.

"I don't know of all the details, but I heard that Alina's fiance appeared to be her destined mate." Rufus' low voice rung in my ears as he entwined his fingers with mine.

Fate was really a wonderful thing.

I mean, Rufus could have been Alina's husband right now if it weren't for me.

As I gazed at Rufus' handsome face, I couldn't help the possessive and jealous feeling brewing in my heart.

Alina wasn't the only one whose heart was set on Rufus. In fact, many noble women tried to woo Rufus and used all means to try and get his attention after he was freed from his curse.

If Rufus didn't have such a reputation for being aloof, surely even more droves of noble women would have come to the palace in pursuit of him. "What are you thinking about? It's not a happy thought, is it? I could see it clearly on your face from the way you're pouting." With a smile, Rufus pinched at both the sides of my lips.

Rufus looked slightly disappointed as he took in a deep breath. He rubbed my waist, miserable from having to give up sex for now. He helped me tidy up my clothes and then gave me a tight embrace, trying to calm himself down from his arousal state.

During dinner, we had returned to discussing Alina's marriage.

"Leonard invited the two of us. If you wish to not go, I'll just have my men send over a big gift to

them, " While he cut his steak, Rufus casually suggested the idea to me.

"There's no need for that. I'll go. We'll go!" I said without hesitation. It was just perfect. It would worry me further if I had to look for any other excuse to visit Alina's pack. This was the one excuse I need so I could go and look for Noreen without being doubted.

Rufus was surprised at the quickness with which I agreed to go. He stared at me stunned for a moment before he raised his brows at me. "Okay

then, we'll leave tomorrow."
