Chapter 349 The Butterfly Effect
Sylvia''s POV:
When I finally came to my senses, I found myself already back in school and on my way to the
dormitory room.
I shook my head in disbelief. My feet felt numb and my legs moved mechanically.
I just couldn''t believe that Rufus announced our mate bond to the public so suddenly. Although I
had always known that he wanted to make it public, I never allowed him to do it because of his
parents'' attitude towards me.
I didn''t want to be the reason why their rtionship went sour.
Just now, when Rufus announced our mate bond to the public, it caused a great uproar. In the end,
Ethan had to take control of the situation by finishing the closing ceremony himself.
Fortunately, Ethan didn''t seem too unfazed by Rufus'' action. Laura, on the other hand, was
obviously unhappy. Her expression was dark throughout the entire closing ceremony. After that, she
left without saying a word to Rufus.
I too was shocked. I didn''t even know how I made it back to school. My mind was inplete and
utter shambles after what had happened just now.
Rufus'' behavior was too unexpected.

His love life was always under the limelight. After all, a werewolf of his status required a mate on the
same level as him.
Many werewolves had predicted that his mate would be Alina.
But unfortunately, I let them all down. They were likely surprised that I turned out to be the dark
horse.
As I walked in a daze, I heard whispers around me. I looked up to find passers-by all looking at me
funnily and whispering to each other.
This was nothing new to me. But, this time, they weren''t looking at me with disdain. Rather, they
looked curious and jealous even.
Feeling everyone''s gazes on me, I couldn''t stand it anymore and quickened my pace back to my
room.
As soon as I entered, Flora pounced on me excitedly. I took a step back to steady myself and
caught her in my arms.
Surprised that she wasn''t at the hospital, I asked, "What about Warren? Is he all right?"
Flora stuck out her lower lip. "He''s going to be fine and he was transferred to a VIP ward. The
doctor said he would wake up soon."
"That''s great news!"
Finally, some good news. I wanted to call Harry over to celebrate, but something felt off with Flora.
So I pulled her to sit on the sofa next to me and looked her over carefully.
"Is there something bothering you, Flora? I get the feeling that you''re unhappy. And why did you
come back from the hospital so soon?"
Flora sighed and rested her chin on her hands. Her sweet smile had vanished and was reced
with a dejected frown. "Warren''s father was there. I was in no position to stay, so I left."
"What are you even talking about? You''re Warren''s girlfriend." I frowned, too.
"Well..." Flora scratched her head, at a loss for words. It seemed that she didn''t know how to
answer.
"Did you leave because of Warren''s father?" I guessed.
Warren''s father was so stern. It was only natural that Flora felt uneasy in his presence.
"Yes," Flora admitted quickly.
"What''re you nning to do? You''re going to go back to your pack and meet his parents sooner or
later." I looked at my friend with concern, patting her on the shoulder.
Hopefully, Warren''s father was only serious on the surface. Perhaps he was easy-going behind in
private.
"Oh, enough about me. I don''t even know if we''ll be together long enough for me to meet his
parents." Flora waved her hand dismissively. Her words were heartless. If Warren heard what she
said, he would''ve jumped out of the bed right then and there.
"Why so pessimistic, Flora?" I shook my head helplessly. Flora was so unorthodox, even when it
came to rtionships.
Flora tugged at my arm and pouted like a spoiled child. "Quit scolding me, Sylvia."
I poked her forehead with my forefinger reproachfully. "Warren''s a good man. I really think he''s good
for you."
"Whatever," Flora replied perfunctorily.
Then she shifted the spotlight to me.
"So is Prince Rufus going to propose to you yet? I mean, he professed his love for you in public
already." Flora wriggled her eyebrows at me mischievously. "I can''t wait ''til you two have a child for
me to y with."
I looked at her with wide eyes, both amused and annoyed. I pushed her away yfully. "What''re
you talking about? He just announced our mate bond, nothing else."
I decided not to mention it out loud, but I couldn''t help but think about the witch''s curse on Rufus
and how he might never have children. Well, even if the curse couldn''t be lifted, I was ready to
spend the rest of my life with Rufus childless.
"Come on, Sylvia. Spill the beans already. I know that Prince Rufus is so bossy. He must have
asked you to move in with him, am I right?" Flora looked me up and down knowingly. "Is he good in
bed?"
My cheeks immediately burned as the intimate scenes fromst night resurfaced in my mind.
"He is, isn''t he?! It''s written all over your face, Sylvia!" Flora pointed at my red face andughed so
hard.
She was such a gossip and kept pressing me for details.
I couldn''t stand it anymore. I shrugged her off and said coolly, "If you''re so curious, go and explore
with Warren."
At the mention of that boy''s name, Flora''s confidence faltered, "okay, okay. I''ll behave."
I ignored her and got up to take a shower. It was a hot day today and I had sweated a lot.
"By the way, where is Rufus now? Now that your mate bond has been made public, you should
have celebrated together. How could he let you walk back here all by yourself?" Flora followed me
to the bathroom and asked in confusion.
I immediately went stiff andplicated feelings surged in my heart. "After the closing ceremony,
Rufus was called away by the lycan king."
