The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:

I hesitated for a few moments before answering the call, and talked to him as usual.

His deep pleasant voice washed over me. He told me that he missed me and that the meeting was over.

In fact, I already knew from Blair that the meeting had ended, but I still had to pretend to be surprised. "The meeting ended so early! Does that mean we can get to the restaurant early?"

There was a long pause. Then Rufus' apologetic voice came through. "I'm sorry, Sylvia. I wanted to come home earlier, but I have other plans. I'm afraid I'm going to have to cancel our date tonight."
