The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:

As I spoke, I helped him remove his thin jacket.

Rufus was very quiet tonight, and the usual smile in his eyes was missing. After settling me in bed, he went out to ask a servant to clean the room. Then, he went to the study to make a few phone calls. Quite some time passed before I finally got the chance to talk to him peacefully.

not easy and you're under immense pressure. But don't get so agitated or annoyed. I believe you can navigate all these matters well. Things might be a little difficult in the beginning, but you have far more supporters than dissidents. You surely know this. And I will always
