“Go,” I said to her in a harsh tone, trying to keep the beast inside.
She thought that something was wrong and didn’t leave. Instead, she reached out to touch me.
But I could feel my reason fade away. I was about to lose control of myself any second now.
“Fuck off now!” In desperation, I pushed her away.
With the fear back in her eyes, she scampered to the side like a little rabbit.
I took a deep breath and clenched my fists, trying to suppress the restless desire in my heart. I should at least wait for her to leave.
Omar was also doing his part in trying to keep me sane for a little longer.
But why was she still here? I felt a slight movement behind me. Sometimes I could hear her breath close to me, other times it would sound farther. She was moving around the room.
Finally, I was on my last strain of sanity. I grabbed her and pressed her to the floor. I could feel the beast within me about to break through. I was in so much pain that I had to let out a scream.
“What are you still doing here?” I asked her, my eyes wide with craze.
“I… I need pants,” she squeaked out. Her face was deathly pale.
I gasped out loud, feeling the pain in my head spread to my body.
I was gradually losing myself. Slowly, fur began to grow out of my back and my claws started to come out, pressing on the girl’s neck. There was a desire in me to pierce her throat brutally. But I could also still feel some reason in myself, telling me not to hurt the person in front of me.
Her sweet citrus scent filled my nose. The clean, floral fragrance soothed my madness a little bit. I was trying to restrain the beast from coming out, but I could not let go of the person I was holding under me.
She was very scared. With tears in her eyes, she struggled against my grip and begged me to let her go. But at this time, I could not stop the bloodthirstiness and anger from clouding my reasoning anymore.
I tried to hold on to this woman, hoping that her scent would save me. I was absolutely addicted to her scent and couldn’t help but bury my face in her neck. I wanted to drown myself in this intoxicating fragrance.
The girl in my arms pounded my chest with her fists, but it only did so much as tickle me. I got a little impatient and grabbed her hands. As she struggled, the smell of blood now filled my nose. But instead of triggering my desire to kill and destroy, my mind had gone quiet all of a sudden. The headache seemed to be less painful now.
Although my head was still in a mess, at least my vision was starting to get clearer. I approached the girl subconsciously. It was her strong scent that softened my heart and made my headache disappear into thin air. I was now relaxed. I even felt like I was walking on clouds.
I tightened my arms around her and didn’t want to let go, like a dragon that wanted to guard its treasure forever.
Sylvia’s POV
My body was so close to Rufus. His hands on my back felt hard as iron. I felt like crying but there were no tears left in me anymore. I regretted staying to find pants. I should have left when he told me to!
There was stinging feeling on my chin. It must have been scratched by his claws.
I brought up my hands to push him away, but I failed.
I looked at him in fear, and he was also staring sharply at me. It felt like there was a storm brewing in his deep eyes.
He reached up and touched my neck, which made me freeze up. I did not forget about the rumors about his cruelty. I even heard one time that he had once snapped the neck of a she-wolf in bed.
He had been looking at my neck for quite a long time. What was he going to do? Was he thinking of ways to break my neck?
I mustered up all my strength to push him away. He paused and stared at my face before slowly approaching again. There was not much expression on his face, but his eyes were dark and had some kind of emotion I couldn’t fathom.
He lowered his head to face me. I closed my eyes in fear, but suddenly, I could feel the wound on my chin getting licked. His tongue felt warm and it numbed the back of my head.
This action felt gentle beyond words. In fact, if people saw us right now, they could think that we were a loving couple.
No. I couldn’t afford to have such thoughts. I just held my breath and didn’t dare to move, but the small hairs on my arms stood on end. I made sure to avoid eye contact and only stared into the nothingness. I was afraid of disgruntling him for fear that he would eat me alive.
He then wrapped his arms around me tightly. Any tighter and it would have strangled me to death. I had no choice but to lean on his firm chest and hear his strong heartbeat. It was beginning to suffocate me.
Just when I thought I was about to run out of air, his grip on my body loosened and his head lowered down to my neck.
“Don’t go,” Prince Rufus whispered in my ear.
I was too scared to move. I just let him hold me. Not long after, his breathing became light and steady.
Did Rufus just fall asleep?
I gently poked his waist, but he didn’t move.
I blinked and saw him gradually return to his human form. The silver fur and sharp claws retracted back into his skin. His two fluffy wolf ears were the last to go. I noticed that the insides of his ears were pink.
Usually, wolves had black ears. I had never seen ears like his. It actually looked cute and kind of funny, because it didn’t match Rufus’ cold and intimidating temperament at all.
When I saw that he was indeed soundly asleep, I couldn’t help but reach up and feel his ears. They were much softer than I thought.
I retracted my hand and tried to push him off. I saw my clothes in the corner, but it seemed that they had been ripped to shreds. I had no choice but to put on Rufus’ coat. Upon checking my trousers, I found that they could still be worn somehow.
Damn it, Shawn! I cursed him in my heart. Knowing Shawn, he would never give up until he got what he wanted. Now that he was also the Alpha, it would be so much easier for him to have me killed. My future here was dangerous.
I needed to get out of here as soon as possible. Fortunately, there were no more guards at the door.
“My dear, you should take this opportunity to escape now. As Shawn dared to hurt you then, he will definitely try and hurt you more in the future. This is outrageous! You are the daughter of the former Beta, I can’t believe he-“
“Yana, I’m nothing but the daughter of a traitor to these people, a lowly slave. To them, I am a worthless piece of trash that they can just throw around.” I interrupted my wolf.
“Okay, but we must take this chance at survival first. This is the only way we can still have our revenge.”
“But where will we go? If we leave our pack, we’re going to become rogues.” Frustration filled my heart.
“Follow your mother’s instructions before she died. Go find your father. Then, plan your revenge.” Yana suggested something I had not tried considering before.
“I could, but my mother didn’t tell me anything about my father. I don’t know…”
“Sylvia, it really won’t be easy. But if we stay here, we won’t even have a chance at all!”
