Chapter 179 Falling Into A Trap


    Sylvia''s POV:


    The dark pit was damp and gloomy. My clothes were already soaked.


    The weather in the forbidden forest was unpredictable. It was sunny a while ago, but it was raining


    now. The howling wind frightened me.


    I crouched behind the giant rock to shield myself but it was useless. The downpour grew violent with


    every passing minute.


    My hair stuck to my cheeks, and I broke into a cold sweat. Every bone in my body hurt. I tried


    moving, but the beast trap crushed my arm and held me in ce.


    The paths in the forbidden forest were intricate, and wild animals appeared from time to time. I ran


    away from the wild eyes and fell into the beast trap in a fit of panic.


    The steel mp of the beast trap held me in ce, making it impossible for me to move.


    I struggled hard but couldn''t open the trap. My energy gradually drained, and I couldn''t even move a


    finger.


    Finally, it stopped raining. But the storm grew stronger and turned into a hurricane. My clothes soon


    dried up, but the wind didn''t manage to cool down my ever-increasing body temperature.


    The aphrodisiac began to take effect again. I leaned back, gasping for breath. My eyes were


    burning. I felt I was about to die.


    "What do we do now? You have to hold on, Sylvia! Rufus wille soon!" Yana said anxiously.


    I opened my eyes weakly and felt a little dizzy. "Yana, I feel weak."


    "Why don''t you turn into a wolf?" Yana suggested.


    I listened to Yana and turned into a wolf. Then, I tried freeing myself from the beast trap.


    However, the drug seemed to affect Yana as well. Even she couldn''t open the beast trap, which


    seemed to worsen the situation. The trap got tighter and crushed my bones. If she forcefully pulled


    it away, it might tear my flesh and end up breaking my hand.


    It soon started raining again. I turned back into my human form, and slumped into the soil. I bent


    down to control my pain. The burning heat that had calmed a bit surged up again. I sobbed sadly.


    My legs subconsciously rubbed against each other. Living somehow felt worse than death. It felt like


    I was trapped in a hell of fire.


    "I... I''m exhausted," I murmured. The aphrodisiac drained all the strength in my body. "Don''t give up,


    Sylvia! Think about Rufus! I''m sure he must be on his way. Hold on. Or try transforming into a wolf


    again. Give it a try. I''m sure it will work." I could sense that Yana was afraid that I might give in and


    never wake up again.


    Just as I was about to fully lose conscience, I heard a faint noise outside the pit as if someone was


    fighting. Judging from the muted noise, I sensed it was happening at a distance.


    However, I instantly sobered up. The heavy downpour made it difficult for me to recognize the scent


    of the person who had arrived. However, a voice in my heart told me that it was Rufus.


    I tried my best to get up and call him.


    But I couldn''t bring myself to shout for help. My throat was dry, and my stomach churned with


    anxiety.


    Just then, the sound of footsteps grew faster and louder. I lifted my head and saw Rufus in his wolf


    form. Before I could react, he jumped into the pit and held me in his arms as if he had found his lost


    treasure.


    He was gasping for breath, and I could feel his racing heartbeat.


    "Sorry, I''mte."


    I leaned weakly in his arms and greedily inhaled his scent. "How did you know I was here?"


    "I heard you calling me." Rufus pulled back a little and cupped my cheek with one hand. "All you


    have to do is say my name, and I will appear in front of you."N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
