The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)

Chapter 1116 Bewitched

Rufus' POV:

I took the medicine bottle and brooded in the study for what felt like hours. It wasn't just the visions that had been plaguing me lately. I seemed to be losing control of my emotions, too. I was behaving outrageously and well without reason sometimes, and I was leaning more into the possibility that I had been bewitched.

The wizard had examined me thoroughly and found nothing wrong at all. Then again, if I had been administered a spiritual witchcraft or something, no amount of physical check-ups would be able to detect it in my body. Only the original caster of the spell could help me.

I stared at the blue vial in front of me. The wizard told me that if I had really been subjected to witchcraft, all I had to do was to drink the concoction then go to sleep. Whoever had cast the spell on me would appear in my dream, and I would finally know for certain who was bold enough to play tricks on me.

I sat and stewed for a long time as I hesitated. Although the wizard was a trusted affiliate of the lycan empire, I wasn't entirely comfortable with this situation

Since Noreen's death, no black witch, or even just the common ones, had been sighted often in my life. I could bet that some believed they no longer existed.

Well, it appeared now that I had been complacent. I should have never let my guard down.

I leaned back against my chair and rubbed my throbbing temples. With a weary sigh, I turned to look out the window. The sky was painted golden orange by the setting sun

"What are you thinking about?" Omar suddenly asked

I said nothing, simply closed my eyes and tried to stifle the sense of distress bubbling in my heart

"Let me guess. Is it Crystal?” Omar's tone changed when he mentioned the she-wolf. It grew serious, laced with a faint hint of interest I snorted and rolled my eyes. "Why would I think of her? I was thinking of my mate, duh.”

Chviously, Omar didn't believe me. He laughed tauntingly and drawled, "Sure, sure. But if you were thinking of your mate, you would be all giddy and excited instead of upset.”

I fell silent. Omar's words rang true, and it only made me feel worse. "Are you mad?" the wolf piped up cautiously after realizing his blunder. "No, I am taking my medicine," I replied coldly before chucking the contents of the vial into my throat.

An acrid taste filled my mouth, and all I could think about was how well it matched the bitterness in my heart.

I dozed off soqn enough, drifting between sleep'and consciousness until the dream took over. Itwas ~~ night, and I was in the middle of < ~ what lagked like a grassland. I

looked down at my arms and found that was holding that same ste-wolf from before. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"Why are you so distracted, Rufus? What are you thinking about?” The she-wolf reached up and pulled my face toward hers. I had the vague impression that she was pouting.

I still couldn't see her face clearly, but I knew that she was beautiful, and I adored her with my whole being. I tightened my embrace, not wanting to let her go for even a second.

"Hey! Why aren't you answering my question, huh?" The she-wolf tried to sound angry, but her playfulness was evident in her voice. She proceeded to tickle my sides.

I laughed freely.at her antics. This scene, these'feelings... They were all SO familiar. At the back of my head, a voice told me that there was one other person in my waking word whoknew that getting tickled-was a weakness of mine. Content-belongs to’NovelDrama.Org o

Her heavenly scent made my soul ripple in joy and satisfaction

I lost myself in her kiss. All I wanted to do was to sink into it and die happily in her arms. I couldn't get enough of her. Then, out of the blue, I felt a forceful pull in my chest, as if someone had yanked my heart out of my body.

My mind cleared in an instant, and I remembered why I was here

Just as I had suspected, this she-wolf had indeed bewitched me! I remembered how she had tickled me, and Crystal's face suddenly appeared in my mind, unbidden.

My heart sank. I grabbed the she-wolf by the shoulders, desperate to know if she really was Crystal or not.
