The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 677

Sylvia's POV:

Leonard took Rufus and I back to his residence, which was the castle area. Islands of large and small manors surrounded the castle. Leonard led us into the largest manor.

We were making our way when Edwin emerged from the heavy doors of the manor.

My hand holding Rufus', along with my whole body nailed to the ground, froze. I wanted to escape, but where to?

Rufus assured me that everything was fine by pinching my palm and smiling at me.

Contrary to how I reacted, Edwin trotted to us with a smile and told us that the banquet was ready, adding that Warren and Flora had fixed their wedding date.

My attention was stolen by his announcement. It was too fast. We just went out for a walk, but by the time we were back, Flora and Warren had met their parents and even decided to get married.

I remember Flora saying before that she wanted to end everything with Warren, but now she was even alright with marrying him. Everything happened in a flash.

Leonard was very happy with the news. "Warren is really different when he's matched with his true love. He's no longer an amateur lad when it comes to relationships."

Despite everything, I would admit Warren was awesome. On the other hand, I wondered how Flora was doing. She must have been in a trance. While everyone was immersed in joy, Rufus spoke in my ear in the faintest of whispers. "They're going to get married."

Confusion bordered my face as I met his gaze. What did he mean?

Rufus sighed. "It's time for us to start planning ours."

I chortled and nudged him gently. "What are you talking about? You're getting ahead of yourself." "Ahead of myself?" Rufus asked dejectedly. A frown started to crease on his forehead, and he seemed very dissatisfied with my response. "We can't delay it any longer."

Rufus pulled me in his arms and cupped my face before offering a kiss on my forehead. "Honey, do you really plan on making me wait? I'm getting old, and as you can see, a lot of my friends are already going to get married."

While Rufus was speaking, I caught a glimpse of Leonard from my periphery, looking at me with a cheeky smile spread across his face.

Blood rushed to my cheeks as I pushed him away. "Well, let's talk about it when we get back."

Rufus didn't seem to care if the others would hear us. He didn't let go of me and instead muttered in an aggrieved tone, "Then promise me that we will talk about our wedding when we go back."

Flora flung her arms and wrapped them around me. She placed her head on my shoulder without saying anything. I let her be.

I was amused at the way she acted. A moment later, I held her hand. "Honey, I know you're overwhelmed with churning emotions. But you should cheer up. You're pregnant, and you know too well that your mood will affect the baby."

Flora nodded lazily and grunted. "I know. I'm very happy now."

The smile that was wiped off my face with concern found its way back to my lips. I didn't say anything. Anyway, I would talk to her later tonight, so I could forget about reprimanding her.

Leonard and Rufus walked ahead of us, while Flora and I were taking our time behind them. We whispered to each other as we entered the banquet hall.

The double doors leading to the hall were opened for us, and unexpectedly, Alina was sitting at the table, waiting for us.

I was startled. I quickly pulled Flora behind me and looked at Warren, what I felt at that moment was a mix of embarrassment and uneasiness.

When I was about to comfort Flora, I found that Alina was just staring at me as if she was ignoring the others on purpose. What was she planning this time?
