He chuckled and appeared tranquil as the memories came flooding back. “That guy has had a strong sense of leadership and possessiveness since he was just a child. He always protects his stuff and never allows others to covet them. If anyone displayed an inclination of wanting to take away something of his, Rufus would viciously attack them back. Perhaps this was also a mark of insecurity. Since he’s grown up, he has become much more restrained and mature.”
I pursed my lips and smiled. When I was about to add something, Blair said something unexpected.
“Even so, I still envy him, although he had been tortured by a curse.”
I was a little puzzled when I heard this. I had no idea what he was trying to say. “Why do you envy him? You both are born with different fates.”
Blair barked out a bitter laugh. “Yes, he was born with power, strength, and good looks. He also got an enviable mate.”
I frowned, feeling like something was wrong. What did Blair mean by that?
“So, some people are simply born lucky,” he concluded, studying me as if I were his prey.
Sylvia’s POV
Rufus had a meeting that afternoon, so I had to go to the hospital by myself to pick up the little wolf pup.
Despite Rufus’ efforts to have a driver and some guards arranged for me, I wanted to keep a low profile. I just asked the driver to take me to the hospital and then send him away along with the guards.
A specific wing of the Royal Hospital was dedicated to animal care. I noticed cats and dogs wandering within the fence as soon as I stepped foot into the hall on the first floor.
Squatting by the elevator, I picked up a kitten and petted its fur. Although its hair was not as soft and smooth as Rufus’ when he turned into a giant wolf, it still felt lovely.
Thinking of this, I reached out to pet the kitten on the chin, but it turned its head away arrogantly. It seemed to have read my mind. It meowed and then walked away gracefully, flaunting its buttocks.
I blinked my eyes, getting the impression that the kitten did not like me.
Without giving it much thought, I quickly pressed the elevator button and went to the fifth floor to pick up the little wolf pup.
The wolf pup had grown up considerably. The grey hair on its head was thicker, and it seemed more vigorous. Perhaps it was well-fed in the hospital. From a distance, it looked like a little fluffy ball.
My heart leaped with joy as I reached out and stroked it. There was nothing in the world cuter than a tiny furry animal.
The wolf pup kept pressing its face against my hand and making a soft, wolfish howling sound. It had mechanical appendages attached to its disabled hind legs, which looked cool and handsome.
After a while of frolicking with the wolf pup, I decided to take it back to see its mother!
I returned to the forbidden forest again, feeling as if a generation had passed.
Sighing, I blew the whistle that Rufus had made for me.
About ten seconds later, a majestic wild wolf ran over, followed by two wolf pups. They ran with their short limbs, following their mother.
“Rin!” I waved my hand excitedly, and the little wolf pup in my arms howled as if it had sensed its mother.
Rin was about to pounce on me but suddenly stopped after sensing something. She slowly and deliberately rose up, arms extended as if to embrace me.
A warm feeling spread through my heart. Rin must have sensed that I was pregnant, so she didn’t rush to me like she would always do. She did the same thing the last time she met Flora.
Right away, I squatted down, embraced her, and clung to her tightly.
Rin hummed excitedly, squinting her eyes and enjoying my touch very much. Her other children were all very healthy and lively. They were only curious about the wolf pup with artificial limbs and didn’t show any outright revulsion. The three wolf pups soon got familiar with each other and began playing and chasing in the wilderness.
I sat on the lawn and filled Rin in on recent events. Whenever I talked about Leonard, my heart inevitably sank again.
“Rin, I had found my father but then lost him for good before I could even recognize him.” Tears welled in my eyes as I rubbed Rin’s head.
She seemed to have sensed my emotions and attempted to comfort me by acting like a spoiled child. She flipped over, exposing her soft belly while howling at me.
Somehow, her antics made me laugh. “Rin, you are a wolf, not a cat. Why are you so fond of me touching your belly? When did you get such a habit?”
Then, I stroked her soft belly without hesitation.
As I leaned forward to hug her, the black card I hid in my pocket fell out. Noreen had previously handed it to me. She told me to summon her whenever I needed her help.
After thinking for a while, I looked around vigilantly. Then I sat up and said to Rin, “Please do me a favor, Rin.”
Sylvia’s POV
I took the card to an open space and did what Noreen had taught me. Soon, the familiar fog rose once more. The following second, I was once again plunged into total darkness.
By this time, I had become accustomed to Noreen’s tricks. Everything had changed around me, yet I was sure I was still in roughly the same place.
Noreen’s familiar snickers soon filled my ears.
I found it odd that she would deliberately put a devious smile on her otherwise innocent face, but Noreen seemed to like it.
She then lit up a white candle in her hand. Only then did I realize that she was sporting something different today. She looked even more sinister in the crimson red robe.
“How are things? Are you finally able to come round and completely immerse yourself in the power of the black witch bloodline?” Another scoff came out from her.
I lowered my head and resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her. Then I asked coldly, “What did you do to Blair?”
“You wanted to see me because of that guy?” Although Noreen pretended to be shocked, she actually sounded triumphant.
She feigned innocence despite knowing the truth.
Slightly annoyed, I glared at her. “Did you do something to Blair that caused his personality to change?”
Noreen batted her eyes innocently. “Come on. You broke into my lab and took the potted plant away. You gave it to Blair. The flower was nourished with my blood and the power of the curse. Although it could be used to break my other curses, doing so might also bring out the person’s darkest desires and obsessions.”
No wonder Blair had become like that. My guess was right. Noreen was really behind it.
“How can I fix this?” I asked calmly.
“It’s simple. All you have to do is give in to his demands. Just give him whatever he wants, and everything will eventually be resolved,” Noreen said casually. That was not simple at all.
