Chapter 508 - Saving Her Cursed Lycan Prince

On reflex, Blair turned his head and kicked Shawn into a swimming pool nearby, causing the latter to be completely drenched.

Sylvia’s POV

Shawn was speechless, but when he noticed Blair’s toned arms, he didn’t dare say anything more and instead got out of the pool in silence.

Blair snorted on the poolside and watched Shawn with evident insult.

Furious and embarrassed, Shawn gritted his teeth.

The servant quickly brought clean clothes, which Shawn changed into while suppressing his anger. Then he continued to lead us to the dining room, but this time, he behaved obediently and didn’t dare provoke Blair anymore.

Finally learning his lesson, Shawn kept his mouth shut along the way. Blair and I were happy to finally have some peace and quiet.

We soon arrived at the dining room. I thought it was just a simple meal, but I didn’t expect Shawn to hold a big party.

Inside the hall were ten long white tables. Hanging on the tall dome ceiling were bright crystal chandeliers that cast a glittering radiance on the tableware. There were fresh flower baskets in every corner, and those tender petals were stained with water. It was obvious that they had just been placed in the hall.

The banquet hall was already full of people, who were all high-ranking members of the pack. When they saw us, they all rose from their seats to welcome us.

It reminded me of when a principal gave a speech in school, and the students would get up to greet him in this manner. My toes almost curled up with embarrassment and discomfort.

With a straight face, I strolled behind Blair and followed Shawn inside.

We took the first available table. On either side of us sat the pack elders, while the three of us sat on the same side, facing the others.

Blair didn’t touch any of the food. He just sat there, motionless and silent.

I took a few bites of the food on the plate and soon lost my appetite. Many people came to flatter me and made a toast from time to time. Most of them had bullied me before, so I wasn’t really delighted at all to see them again. I only put up with the boredom long enough to deal with a few people before eventually losing interest in the meal.

I set down my fork and knife, sat silently like Blair, and only took a sip of water from time to time.

Shawn, who was seated to my right, was chuckling merrily.

His anger over getting kicked into the pool seemed to have vanished completely. It was replaced by the enthusiasm towards Blair and me. Seeing that Blair and I didn’t eat much, he thought the food didn’t suit our taste, so he asked the servants to clear our table and serve other dishes.

Dozens of delicious dishes were served on the long banquet table. Knowing Shawn’s character, he might throw all of them away if we didn’t finish.

I tried my best to contain my impatience, pressed Shawn down, who was about to get up to call people, and whispered, “No need to change the dishes. The food is fine.”

“Really? Then eat more. You look much thinner than before. Eat more meat and gain weight.” Shawn grinned broadly and slammed a piece of stewed chicken with red wine vinegar on my plate.

I pursed my lips and smiled, taking a sip from the water glass to quell the nauseous feeling in my stomach.

Damn it! My baby hated the strong smell of red wine vinegar.

Sitting next to me, Blair seemed to notice something. He frowned and looked at me. “Sylvia, you look so pale. Are you okay?”

I shook my head and pushed the plate away from me. Enduring the retching in my throat, I said gently, “I’m okay. Aren’t you hungry? Ew…”

My throat started to grow more and more queasy.

I quickly put a hand over my mouth and swallowed to stifle it.

Blair frowned and whispered to me, “Morning sickness?”

I nodded slightly. “I think so.”

With a glass of wine in his hand, Shawn abruptly rose to his feet and exclaimed to the crowd, “I’m really delighted that Sylvia has returned to our pack again. We haven’t had fun like this in a long time, so all of you have a wonderful time tonight. Taking this opportunity, I sincerely want to invite Sylvia to remain in our pack as the Beta and help us grow together.”

I sat up straight and sneered. It seemed that Shawn still hadn’t given up yet.

Shawn’s POV

The crowd jeered to my words, with majority of them supporting me. This was because the news about Sylvia helping me out at the entrance of the pack had already spread like wildfire in the pack.

The strong ruled and dominated everything in the werewolf world. Sylvia was no longer as weak as she once was. With her current strength, she had proven to everyone that she was no longer the same slave they knew back then.

Moreover, she was now the mate of Prince Rufus. Even if Prince Rufus had really abandoned her, the other pack members would gladly welcome her for the sake of their former relationship. If she could serve as the Beta of the pack, it would undoubtedly be good for our long-term development.

More than that, Sylvia had blossomed into a beautiful woman. Even if she wasn’t particularly strong, her beauty would certainly make up for it. After all, the pack rarely had a stunning she-wolf like her.

I had to admit that I had a selfish motive. The unwillingness and conflicting desire in my heart made me want Sylvia even more. The more I couldn’t have her, the more I wanted her.

If Prince Rufus had really abandoned Sylvia, I might have a chance to make her mine.

With a glass of wine in my hand, I smiled at Sylvia and said sincerely, “I know we did something terrible to you in the past, but now we have reflected on ourselves. Believe me when I say that we sincerely hope you can stay. I hope you can seriously consider the position of Beta. When you earn something by yourself, it would really belong to you. Relying on your mate would only make you weak and dependent.”

I raised my eyebrows meaningfully. If Sylvia was a smart she-wolf, she should understand what I meant.

And I also believed that she was a wise woman who wouldn’t pass up such a great opportunity.

“Yes, Sylvia. Our pack might not be as good as the capital city, but not everyone can take the position of our Beta.” The one who spoke was an elder of the pack, who had white whiskers on his face. Despite his seeming attempts to impress Sylvia, he actually looked down on her for being a woman. He had always thought that she-wolves were inferior to male werewolves.

I coughed to interrupt him in case he said something offensive.

The man with Sylvia chuckled and teased her in a low voice, “I didn’t expect you to be so popular here.”

Sylvia ignored him and instead gave me a cold gaze.

Although her face was stern and frigid, I still liked it. Even if Sylvia rolled her eyes at me now, I would just think she was flirting with me. She was so gorgeous that even when upset, she looked undeniably charming.

Of course, not when she hit me.

Putting on a smirk, I approached Sylvia and said, “I know you are still angry, so I specially prepared a gift for you. I’m sure you will like it.”

Then I clapped and motioned for my men to bring the gift.
