The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

Sylvia's words left me at a loss. It made my heart ache. I knew my possessiveness would sometimes make her think I wasn't giving her any sense of freedom, so I had been trying my best to restrain myself. I didn't want to frighten her.

But even after all my efforts, it still didn't work.

I slowly let go of her hand and looked down. "I'm sorry..."

Sylvia lowered her head as well and simply went silent.

My heart ached when I saw her like that. I kept silent for a while too until I decided to compromise.

"Let's go. I'll walk you back to your dormitory."

I didn't look back and simply went ahead. Although I wasn't looking at her, the sound of her footsteps let me know that she was following me at a distance.

I felt terrible, but I didn't want to take her back to the palace by force like I did before. I was afraid of the possibility that she would hate me more.
