I looked at Omar and touched its head. “Stop making trouble and go back to sleep.”
Then, I closed my eyes again.
Unexpectedly, Omar got anxious and kept nudging my arm.
“It’s still early. Let’s sleep longer,” I mumbled. I was so sleepy that I couldn’t even open my eyes.
However, Omar refused to let go of me. It put its nose against my ear and blew in it.
I was a little confused. Omar was always obedient to me. I couldn’t understand why it was acting strange now.
Sylvia’s POV
I pushed Omar’s head away and opened my eyes. “What’s wrong?”
Omar looked anxious. It jumped off the sofa and moved around agitatedly as if it wanted to say something.
I patted my forehead remorsefully. I forgot to ask Rufus to return to his original self.
I rubbed my eyes and said, “Change back.”
Rufus then returned to his human form. He walked to me anxiously and said, “Yesterday morning, Leonard came and said he would leave for the imperial capital at five in the morning. He wanted you to see him off.”
I jerked up on the sofa and became sober at once. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Rufus rarely expressed his grievance. “You didn’t want to see me.” He pouted. “Later, I forgot about it. I remembered only after I fell asleep.”
I rubbed my forehead helplessly. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have told him to stay in his wolf form. But I loved Rufus’ honesty. He had really been waiting for my permission to return to his human form.
Rufus held my hand and anxiously looked into my eyes. “Honey, are you still angry?”
I looked up at him and saw the fear and concern on his face. Without hesitation, I leaned forward and pecked his lips. “I’m not angry anymore.”
Rufus’ eyes lit up. He reached out to hug me.
I pushed him away and hurriedly took the clothes from the wardrobe. “Let’s go to see Leonard off first. Or it would be too late,” I said, changing my clothes.
“Okay.”
Rufus grabbed the car key and rushed out with me.
It was raining cats and dogs outside, and the water level had risen to our ankles.
Rufus handed me the umbrella and squatted down. “Come on. I’ll carry you.”
I climbed onto his back and held the umbrella above us.
Rufus carried me all the way to the garage.
The rain was getting heavier, and there was no sign of stopping. The car jerked to a halt as soon as we drove out of the city.
“Get off the car. I need to check your identity.” The soldier waved the flashlight at us. I narrowed my eyes and peered into the darkness, wondering why there was a sudden inspection.
Rufus revealed his identity and asked what was going on.
The soldier was startled and hurriedly explained the situation to us.
It turned out that a family was slaughtered at around midnight. They were trying to catch the murderer.
Homicide cases usually fell under the jurisdiction of the criminal office. They wouldn’t report it to Rufus unless it was a crucial case.
However, there had been more than one murder case in the past few days. Although the wall was torn down, the thing buried in the recesses was still not rooted out, and that was people’s opinion.
Not everyone agreed to tear down the wall, for it impacted the interests of some of the werewolves.
Geoffrey’s kingdom was entangled, and his people would do anything to fight for their own interests. It would take time to fully uproot them.
Although the issues about the vampires had ended, the internal conflict of the pack would not subside anytime soon.
The border area would be in turmoil in the future, at least for a while.
After informing the details, the soldier let go of us right away.
Soon, we arrived at the airport. I got off the car and ran inside in my wolf form.
The airport was cleared up in advance. Only the army officers were guarding the territory.
“At Gate A1.” Rufus caught up with me and dragged me aside. The airport was so huge that I couldn’t find the right direction.
After finding the correct route, I quickly rushed out and ran towards Gate A1.
Leonard’s POV
I was about to board the plane, but Sylvia hadn’t come yet.
I paced back and forth at the airport, looking around. But unfortunately, all I could see were grumpy-looking soldiers.
I wanted to talk with someone, but these young soldiers looked terrified. They were all afraid of saying something wrong and offending me.
None of these people were like Sylvia. She always came to the point and never beat around the bush, even though sometimes her words were really hurt. I could happily talk all kinds of nonsense with her.
Although we didn’t like each other at first, later we resolved all our prejudices.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but sigh again. It was almost five o’clock. ‘Has Rufus forgotten to convey the message to Sylvia for me? Otherwise, Sylvia would have definitely shown up. Or has Rufus misunderstood me?’ But Rufus was smart. He must have understood what I meant.
I didn’t know when I could see Sylvia again. It would probably be at Rufus and Sylvia’s wedding.
