Chapter 116 I Like Her


    Sylvia''s POV:


    I coughed awkwardly, withdrew my hand, and let Rufus wipe my face.


    "Prince Rufus, my name is Warren. I''m from the Silver Moon Pack. Sylvia and I are ssmates."


    Warren talked to Rufus tirelessly. It seemed that he wouldn''t stop until Rufus responded to him.


    Rufus turned his head and looked at Warren, seemingly displeased with Warren''s repeated


    interjection. "Why are you with Sylvia?"


    I noticed that Rufus was already impatient, so I quickly stood in front of Warren and exined,


    "Warren and I are here to practice more today. He''s kind enough to help me practice. Thanks to


    him, I have improved a lot."


    I wanted to say that Warren was a good ssmate and a goodrade in arms to appease Rufus.


    But after those words came out of my mouth, it was only then that I realized something wrong.


    "Really?" Rufus'' face darkened even more. "But your leg hasn''t recovered yet, right?"


    After saying this, he looked at my leg.


    Damn it! How could I forget it? My body stiffened, and I nced at him guiltily.


    It was toote to pretend that my leg was in pain now. I wanted to cry but had no tears.


    At this moment, Rufus took out a crumpled note from his pocket. It was the one I left for Maya.


    My face turned pale, a little unsure of what to do with Rufus next.


    "Maya gave me this note." Rufus unfolded the note and showed it to me. "This is your handwriting,


    right?"


    I didn''t say anything and just grabbed the seam of my trousers. My palms began to sweat.


    "I really believed it, so I immediately went to find you."


    Upon hearing this, I lowered my head guiltily, regretting using such ame excuse to Rufus. It was


    really my fault because, after all, I agreed to be his date at the ball in the first ce. I should have


    refused him decisively from the beginning. "But your roommate said that your leg had already


    recovered," Rufus continued in a calm tone of voice. Then he paused for a moment and added,


    "Sylvia, what the hell is going on?"

    Since he already knew the truth, there was no use hiding it from him anymore. I gritted my teeth and


    looked up to meet his eyes. "I just didn''t want to go, so I made this excuse."


    "Why?" Rufus asked calmly.


    This one-word question sounded so simple, but it was difficult for me to answer. My head was in a


    mess, and I didn''t know what to say.


    I didn''t want to tell him that I backed out at thest minute because of my inferiorityplex.


    And I didn''t want him to find out that I had feelings for him either.


    "Sylvia, don''t lie to me."


    It seemed that Rufus had noticed all my emotions and expressions. He was like an experienced


    hunter, cornering me until I had nowhere to retreat. Then he would catch me in the next second.


    I was still panicky when Warren suddenly stood up to help me out.


    "Prince Rufus, Sylvia is not your essory. She has the right to make choices too. So please don''t


    push her like that."


    It could be said that Warren was very rude, so I winked at him, hinting at him to stop talking. But he


    seemed fearless.


    "Sylvia is an independent individual, and she can do whatever she wants."


    "Warren, stop it." I hurriedly stopped him. I was afraid that he would suddenly say something


    shocking.


    I used to think that Warren was a cold werewolf of few words. But after these two days, I discovered


    that he was not only talkative but also a chatterbox who wouldn''t stop until he got what he wanted.


    "No, Sylvia. Let me go on," Warren said sincerely, looking at me.


    I felt that the temperature around us had dropped to a freezing point, so I couldn''t help covering my


    face with one hand.


    "Sylvia is always tired from training every day. It''s only reasonable that she doesn''t want to go to the


    ball. She deserves to enjoy the vast world, so you should give her freedom."


    As soon as Warren finished his words, Rufus '' face turned gloomy, and his eyes filled with malicious


    intent. "Who do you think you are to speak on her behalf?"


    The murderous look on his face was so terrifying that I couldn''t help pulling his sleeve. "I''m so


    hungry now. Let''s go get something to eat first." "Because I like Sylvia," Warren suddenly said in a


    sonorous voice.


    There was dead silence. I felt like a thunderbolt struck my head, causing my scalp to tingle.


    What the hell was he talking about?


    I blinked my eyes a few times. Before I could start to exin, Rufus instantly turned into a giant


    silver wolf and pounced on Warren fiercely.
