The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Leonard's POV:

Rufus and I were in a conversation in the corridor. As I watched the bustling scene outside, I was in a good mood.

Subconsciously, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a chocolate bar. But a hand snatched it out of my fingers just as I was ready to bite into it.

"You shouldn't eat sweets." Rufus looked very serious as he tossed the candy into the bin.

Awkward, I cracked a grin. "Nothing. It's just you have been with Sylvia for a long time now, and I want to give you an anniversary gift."

As he frowned, Rufus appeared to be at a loss for words. He examined me as though there was something wrong with my brain.
