“Just stay back. It’s not going to hurt me.”
Reluctantly, they obeyed my order and retreated.
The gray wolf approached me and dropped the plant in its mouth at my feet. It roared fretfully, as if it were panicking, and even tried to gently bite at my trousers.
I crouched down to pick up the plant. I noticed this was the same way the wolf reacted with Sylvia’s wound on her arm that day.
“Did you know that Sylvia has been poisoned?”
I asked the question casually, not expecting a response, but the gray wolf nodded suddenly.
“And this plant… Did you give it to me because it can detoxify Sylvia?” I aired out my hopes.
Again, the gray wolf nodded and groaned. It then raised its front paw and patted my arm, as if asking to be taken to Sylvia.
Having confirmed my assumption about the plant, I stood up excitedly and wanted to rush to the hospital. But when I saw that the wolves were still here, I had to calm down and deal with this first.
“Can you please tell your wolves to go back to the forbidden forest?” I looked into the gray wolf’s eyes. “If they stay here, it will only cause more trouble.”
The gray wolf tilted its head to the side and stared at me for a couple of seconds. After that, it turned around and gave a loud howl. Immediately, the wolves responded by retreating.
The school square was emptied instantly. Seeing that all the other wolves had gone, the grey wolf turned back to me, wagging its tail and howling lowly.
“Thank you. Sylvia would be so happy to know that you are here. I’ll take you to her right now.”
The gray wolf wagged its tail even faster, seeming to be a little happier.
Before I could leave, Richard came running over, followed closely by his large group of well-trained soldiers.
“How did you do that?” There was disbelief in Richard’s eyes. He placed a firm hand on my shoulder and blocked my way, not allowing me to leave. “What did you to those wild wolves? Why are they obedient to you?”
Without even looking at him, I shook off his hand. “Now get out of my way.”
“And where are you bringing the gray wolf to?” Richard asked again, really preventing me from leaving. “Guards, take this gray wolf! I will not allow anything like this to threaten the school ever again!”
Baring its sharp teeth, the gray wolf growled at Richard. Its claws came out as it took one slow but intimidating step toward Richard.
“How dare you take this dangerous creature away with you and let it run free? What are you even thinking, Rufus?” Richard shouted.
Finally, I lost my patience and gave an order. “Johnson, please take Prince Richard back to the palace.”
“Yes, sir.” Johnson gave me a salute and ordered the other soldiers to take Richard away.
“So, you are on the same side as him! How dare you infiltrate my school with your men?!” Richard was visibly pissed off. He stomped his foot and pointed at Johnson, “Whether you like it or not, I am having you expelled from the army!”
“Apologies, Prince Richard, but only the lycan king has the right to dismiss me from service,” Johnson coldly replied.
“Oh, just you wait and see!”
Rufus’ POV
Together with the gray wolf, I rushed back to the hospital. Just when we were finally about to reach Sylvia’s ward, I turned around.
“Awoo…?” The gray wolf sniffed the air in confusion, seeming to have picked up Sylvia’s scent. It rushed over to the ward and pawed the door, telling me to open it.
“Just wait here for a while. I’ll have the laboratory test this plant.”
I quickly then made my way to the lab.
Just in case, I thought it would be better to have the doctors check the plant first whether it was poisonous or not. I did not dare gamble on Sylvia’s life simply on an unknown planet.
When I got back from the lab, I spotted the gray wolf baring its teeth at the door of the ward. Its body language told me that it was very anxious and tense, ready to bust down the door at any moment.
I hurriedly opened the door for it and the wolf rushed it immediately.
Sylvia was still lying in her bed with a coma.
I walked over and caressed her smooth forehead. “When the results for the plant test comes out, you’re going to wake up soon.”
The gray wolf growled at what I said. It was disdainful. It nudged me away from the side of Sylvia’s bed so that it could climb on top and lie down beside her.
I didn’t bother stopping the wolf, thinking that Sylvia would be very happy to have its accompaniment.
Anxiously, I paced back and forth. I couldn’t just sit down and stay calm until the test results had come out.
Never in my life had I felt like time was passing by so slowly.
Even the gray wolf became anxious as well. It hopped off the bed and nipped at my trousers. It was telling me it wanted to go somewhere.
At this time, the door creaked open and came Ferrill with the results.
“What’s the news?” Without waiting for him to respond, I took the clipboard and read it for myself.
The gray wolf jumped onto the table beside me and placed a paw on my arm, wanting to read it too.
Although I didn’t think it would even understand what was written, I still moved a little so that it could see.
“Results show that the plant is harmless. They don’t know yet if it will produce any other adverse side effects. Unfortunately, the most important part of the results say that the plant doesn’t seem to have a detoxification effect.” Ferrill pursed his lips awkwardly.
The gray wolf got down from the table and roared at Ferrill, its eyes burning with anger. It looked like it was ready to attack Ferrill in the next second.
Frightened, Ferrill didn’t dare to move. “Can… Can it understand what we’re saying?”
I got a little annoyed and stood in front of the gray wolf after folding up the results. “Be quiet.”
The gray wolf’s growling stopped, and it stubbornly plopped onto the floor. At this point, its bandage had also come loose, exposing the deep wound to its neck.
