Sylvia's POV:
I turned my eyes back to Rufus and buried my face into his chest.
"I know.I just think that the gray wolf was rather intelligent.And I just realize it's a she-wolf."
"Okay," Rufus replied, but he seemed indifferent about it.
"She might be pregnant," I added.
"Guess how I knew that."
"Okay, how did you know?" Rufus obliged with a gentle smile.
"That gray wolf was trying to protect her belly at all times, even during your last attack.Even in her last
moment, she still tried to protect her belly."
I gave Rufus my analysis of the situation.
"If she wasn't pregnant, then why would she desperately move her belly away and expose her neck to
her enemy?"
"I suppose you're right."
Rufus scooped me up and changed the subject.
"How's your arm? Does it hurt?"
I shook my head and absentmindedly wrapped my arms around his neck.
For some reason, I felt a little depressed.
"When that gray wolf dies, the wild wolves would probably just choose a new alpha for themselves,
right? Like you said, it's the law of the jungle…"
Rufus paused and gave my forehead a kiss.
"Do you feel guilty?"
"It's not that…"
I knotted my eyebrows, trying to gather how I truly felt.
It felt like losing someone of my own kind.
But I nestled my nose into Rufus' chest and filled my lungs with his familiar scent to calm me down.
"Oh, forget it.That gray wolf wanted to kill us anyway.This is simply her consequence."
By the time we walked out of the forbidden forest, Rufus' subordinates were already waiting for us.
Rufus placed me down gently into his black limousine and had us taken back to the palace.
After treating my wounds and giving me something to eat, Rufus lulled me into a nap.
When I woke up, it was already very dark.I was alone in bed.
Scratching my head and rubbing my eyes, I sat up from under the quilt.
As soon as I hopped out of bed, the door creaked open.
Rufus walked in wearing his loose pajamas.
His hair was damp and his body was still steaming a little bit from the shower, blurring his usual rigid
and cold demeanor and making him look softer, I couldn't help but run up to him and clung onto him
like a koala, planting several kisses on his face.
"It's already dark.I should go back to school."
Rufus placed his hands on my hips and walked us back to the bed.
"I already asked for a leave for you.You're staying here tonight."
"Eh?" I was confused.
"Why did you ask for a leave for me?"
Rufus sat down on the bed with me still in his arms.
As he smoothed my hair, his eyes twinkled with affection.
"Aren't you going to try and save that gray wolf? But we will only go back there tomorrow morning.The
forbidden forest is much too dangerous at night."
"How did you know I wanted to save the gray wolf?" With wide eyes, I clutched his shirt.
"I thought you"
"Do you really think I wouldn't know? I know what you're thinking just from that look on your face."
Rufus chuckled.
"But you have to listen to me.I can't allow you to get too deep into the forbidden area.If you can't find
the gray wolf in the safer parts, then we'll retreat."
Obediently, I nodded.My heart was filled with a comforting warmth seeing how considerate this man
was of me.
"Do we need to prepare anything? What if we run into a pack of wild wolves again?" I frowned.
"Then I'll bring some weapons.If those wolves show even a trace of hostility, I won't hesitate to kill them
myself," Rufus said this so lightly.
With Rufus by my side, this task didn't seem too difficult.
Relieved, I sighed and rested in his arms, cherishing this peaceful moment.
"Come now, let's go to bed," Rufus whispered.
His hand slide under my clothes.
Following the lines of my skin, down my waist and abdomen, he lightly pinched my flesh.
"You're too thin.Are you eating well?"
I could feel his hard and thick penis against my buttocks.My face turned red as I pulled out his
wandering hand.
"Why are we in bed so early for, anyway?"
"Well, it's getting late and we have to get up early tomorrow.We must make good use of our time."
Rufus slid his hand back under my shirt and unclasped my bra.
Sensing that he couldn't restrain himself anymore, I decided to jump off his legs and stand away from
him.
"It's still too early for me to fall asleep.I should call up Flora first and tell her I'm safe."
With discontent, Rufus followed me.
His handsome face was distorted into a frown.
I knew he needed to be comforted, but I just couldn't dare to look at him right now.
My lower parts were still in pain from the wild sex in the forest, and it seemed to remind me that we
should be careful with indulging in carnal pleasures.
