The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 29

Rufus' POV:

The queen's hall was brightly lit. The servants were on their knees, fearing that they would be implicated.

I casually walked in.

Just then, a teacup shattered at my feet.

"What's making you angry, mother?" I smiled at her.

"How dare you question me?" My mother dramatically slumped on the sofa with a grumpy look on her face.

I walked over and sat beside her, ignoring her tone.

Like my father, my mother, too, liked smashing things when she got angry.

"You can leave now." I waved my hand, gesturing for the servants to leave.

My mother glanced at me and waved the fan in her hand to get some air. "Get rid of that she-wolf."

"She has a name. It's Sylvia." I stretched back and cracked my knuckles without taking her words seriously.

"I don't care what her name is. She is a slave, after all." My mother snorted and threw her fan aside. "You are a prince of the royal family. Protecting a lowly she-wolf like this will only ruin the dignity and reputation of our family."

"Sylvia is my mate. I've accepted her," I said frankly.

My mother's face darkened even more.

I arched an eyebrow and examined her face. She was seething with rage. I poured her a cup of warm tea and slid it toward her. "Mother, I hope you understand."

"Yes. So please quit persuading me and send Alina back."

"You!" My mother shook her head fiercely.

"Prince Rufus!"

Just then, a piercing scream from the hallway caught our attention. Maya ran in breathlessly.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked, frowning.

"Please save Miss Todd. A group of werewolves at the Royal Military School have besieged her. I... I couldn't stop them. They were all bullying Miss Todd..." Maya cried anxiously.

My heart leaped to my throat. Before Maya finished her words, I immediately stood up and rushed to the Royal Military School.
