The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:

"It's a gigantic wild wolf. Its body looks very strong, but it has a round face, which makes it look cute," Maya said with a chuckle.

"A wild wolf?!" I instantly thought of Rin. Putting down the fork, I pressed Maya for details. "Is its fur grey?"

Maya nodded. "Yes. As soon as you and Prince Rufus left, the wild wolf broke into the imperial palace. It was said that it had helped a lot of soldiers during the accident, so nobody tried to drive it away. The lycan king allowed it to enter the imperial palace freely and even recorded it as a honorable member of the military!"

It had to be Rin! When the incident at the forbidden forest unfolded, Maya was seriously injured and cooped up in the hospital, so she hadn't heard about Rin and its valiant efforts until she got better.

I hadn't seen Rin ever since we parted in the forbidden forest. I wondered if she had given birth yet. I was actually planning to visit Rin in the forbidden forest on our way back from the border, but I didn't expect that she'd wait for me in the imperial palace.

"The wild wolf might be cute, but it has a bad temper. No one's allowed to get close to it. Everyone knew that it came for you, so they tried telling it that you were on a mission. It was amazing! The wild wolf seemed to understand." Maya sounded delighted as she relayed the news to me, saying that it was the first time she had ever seen a wild wolf so intelligent.

"Although it understood that you were gone, it didn't give up. It's been staying at your dormitory, waiting for you to come back. Moreover, it was so huge that it occupied the whole dormitory room, and no one was allowed to get close to it. Plus, it gained a lot of weight, so now everyone calls it the 'big fat wolf"."
