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

Chapter 244 A Dangerous Plan

Sylvia's POV:

The letter stated that Richard was planning to give Rufus a drug that would make him go crazy and then lure him to kill someone during the parade.

I held the thin paper in my shaking hands. My first thought was to wonder whether someone else knew about the curse and wanted to use it to set Rufus up.

But after a few moments of thinking, I noticed the word "drug." I remembered what Lena said about Gamma Mateo also using a drug to make my mother go crazy so that he accuse her of killing the Alpha and Luna of our pack.

Was Richard about to do the same thing?

While looking for Lena, Rufus did mention once that there were also two other groups of werewolves coming after her. Undoubtedly, one of them was sent by Gamma Mateo. I guessed the other one was now sent by Richard.

Because on the day that we met Lena, we were also hunted down.

Only Richard would know Rufus' whereabouts so easily. Additionally, when Richard met with Rufus that night, he was also probing about my own whereabouts. He seemed surprised to see that I was not with Rufus.

There was only one explanation for this. He had been secretly spying on us. That was the only way he would know that Rufus left the imperial palace with me.

Putting all the clues together, it now seemed very likely that Richard and Mateo could be working together. If my assumptions were true, then I would not wonder anymore how Richard acquired the same drug that Mateo used.

I went over the letter several more times. It didn't say where or how Richard would execute this place. I just guessed that whoever sent this letter didn't know the details either. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Still, a part of me was unsure whether this letter was telling the truth, or why this person who sent it would tell me about it. But if this was true, then the consequences of such a plan would be unimaginable.

I dialed Rufus on my phone, my heart beating out of my chest. The thought of Rufus being in danger made me extremely nervous.

I prayed and prayed for Rufus to answer his phone, but to no avail.

Looking at the time, I saw that it was already ten o'clock. The parade had already begun.

If I tried going to the city center now, it would be too late. Rufus might have already fallen into the trap by the time I arrived.

Damn it! What was I supposed to do now?

"Calm down Sylvia. You know Rufus will always be on high alert. It's not likely of him to fall into a trap so easily." Yana tried to comfort me.

"I'm more afraid of Richard. He might pull something unexpected. It doesn't help that Rufus ' every move is being watched, while Richard gets to hide in the dark. I don't even know where to begin." My anxiety was beginning to take over me, and so was my anger. I refused to lose another loved one to this kind of evil scheme.

"But there will be so many werewolves at the parade. Richard wouldn't be that crazy!" Yana was also getting anxious. "That bastard!"

"The fact that there will be many werewolves is exactly the reason Richard will take action now. If the crown prince goes berserk in public, Rufus will completely lose all their support. That way, Richard will become the only viable heir to the throne." I growled.

"Richard, that son of a bitch!" Yana cursed. "Will he actually put the lives of all the werewolves in the city at risk for his personal gain? Oh, a horrible death will be waiting for him, alright!"

It then occurred to me that a part of the parade's program would have a flower child present a bouquet to Rufus. What if Richard put the drug in those flowers? If a child was presenting a flower to Rufus in front of all people, would he dare act cold and vigilant to it?

Even though I knew Rufus could protect himself, I still wasn't going to let myself sit and do nothing. The thought of him in danger made me uneasy. I gave up on calling his phone and ran out of my dorm room.

"Where are you going, Sylvia?" Yana asked.

"To the city center."

"Won't it be too late?"

"I was hoping you could help me, Yana."

In a second, I transformed into a wolf and dashed out of the school gate at the fastest speed I could muster, heading straight to the city center.
