The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 745

Sylvia's POV:

I went downtown to watch an art exhibition. Around noon, I made an excuse to sneak away from Maya and the guard so I could slip into a black cloak.

Maya and the guard were in queue outside a popular shop to buy drinks and freshly baked cakes for me. They wouldn't be able to come back in a short while.

Still, I had to be quick and return as soon as possible. Rufus particularly chose a very smart guard to accompany me. I would be in trouble if he noticed I sneaked out on them.

I dashed down an alley and found a bar that wasn't open yet.

It was daytime, so the place was still quiet.

I wrapped my black cloak tightly around my body and made sure no one followed me. Then I pushed the door open and entered.

When the wind bell at the door rang three times as I walked in, a bartender behind the counter called out, "My apologies, ma'am. We don't open until after dark."

"I know." I looked around and found that it was just like any other bar except that it was quite cramped. It looked like a place where people would go to listen to music while having a drink. But I had checked and this was the only way in to the black market in this area.

How could I exactly get in?

I looked back at the bartender and whispered, "I want to buy some magic potion. Do you have any?" "Magic potion? Only witches and wizards have it. This is a bar and we don't sell potions." The bartender looked puzzled as if I was saying something outrageous.

Impossible! How could he not know?

I frowned and was about to say something when someone seemed like the owner of the bar suddenly walked in.

The bar owner remained in a vigilant tone. He looked at me with sinister eyes and said, "I told you our shop only engages in legal business. If you insist otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, he waved his hand to a booth in the dark. A couple of men stood up and walked towards me with fierce eyes. They obviously wanted to surround me and beat me.

I immediately took two steps back toward the door and quickly gauged the situation. I couldn't bear to expose myself right now. And more importantly, I had to consider the safety of the baby in my belly.

If I confronted them by myself, it would only make things worse.

When I was about to retreat, those men suddenly charged at me.

I clenched my fists. When I was about to fight back, a werewolf with his face covered suddenly jumped out from behind me and helped me block the man's fist.
