The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:

I was so nervous that my palms were sweating.

I didn't dare to look up at Rufus.

He took the medal from a soldier and calmly put it around my neck.

My body went stiff at his touch and I held my breath. Although I was nervous, I was a little excited, too. I actually got the thing that I never thought I'd have. I wanted to pinch myself, wondering if I was dreaming.

So I did. I pinched my finger hard and felt the pain. No, I wasn't dreaming.

Subconsciously, I raised my head. My eyes met Rufus'. He was looking at me intently, a hint of a smile playing at his lips.

I almost couldn't control my emotions. There was a lot I wanted to say to him in that moment. But in front of so many people, I could only shake hands with Rufus briskly.

Rufus was also very serious. He shook my hand firmly before finally letting go.
