Chapter 199 The Gray Wolf With Human Emotion
Rufus' POV:
The uncontrollable wild wolves began to quiet down and turned their eyes to me.
"Go back," I coldly warned them.
Howling in a low voice, the wolves sprang back into action again, but this time they had understood what I said.
The wolves then retreated, making way for the gray wolf.
With its neck still wrapped in a bandage that had already gotten very dirty, the gray wolf was also holding a plant in its mouth. It was a plant I had never seen before, with a purplish-red stalk and a pale yellow bud.
Slowly, it walked towards me. The guards around me grew vigilant and wanted to stop it and pointed their guns at it.
"No, stand down!" I barked at them.
"But, sir..." The guards hesitated, refusing to put their guns down. "What if it hurts you?"
"Just stay back. It's not going to hurt me."
Reluctantly, they obeyed my order and retreated.
The gray wolf approached me and dropped the plant in its mouth at my feet. It roared fretfully, as if it were panicking, and even tried to gently bite at my trousers.
I crouched down to pick up the plant. I noticed this was the same way the wolf reacted with Sylvia's wound on her arm that day.
"Did you know that Sylvia has been poisoned?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
I asked the question casually, not expecting a response, but the gray wolf nodded all of a sudden.
"And this plant... Did you give it to me because it can detoxify Sylvia?" I aired out my hopes.
Again, the gray wolf nodded and groaned. It then raised its front paw and patted my arm, as if asking to be taken to Sylvia.
Having confirmed my assumption about the plant, I stood up excitedly and wanted to rush to the hospital. But when I saw that the wolves were still here, I had to calm down and deal with this first.
"Can you please tell your wolves to go back to the forbidden forest?" I looked into the gray wolf's eyes. "If they stay here, it will only cause more trouble."
The gray wolf tilted its head to the side and stared at me for a couple of seconds. After that, it turned around and gave a loud howl. Immediately, the wolves responded by retreating.
The school square was emptied instantly. Seeing that all the other wolves had gone, the grey wolf turned back to me, wagging its tail and howling lowly.
"Thank you. Sylvia would be so happy to know that you are here. I'll take you to her right now." The gray wolf wagged its tail even faster, seeming to be a little happier.
Before I could leave, Richard came running over, followed closely by his large group of well-trained soldiers.
"How did you do that?" There was disbelief in Richard's eyes. He placed a firm hand on my shoulder and blocked my way, not allowing me to leave. "What did you to those wild wolves? Why are they obedient to you?"
Without even looking at him, I shook off his hand. "Now get out of my way."
"And where are you bringing the gray wolf to?" Richard asked again, really preventing me from leaving. "Guards, take this gray wolf! I will not allow anything like this to threaten the school ever again!"
Baring its sharp teeth, the gray wolf growled at Richard. Its claws came out as it took one slow but intimidating step toward Richard.
"How dare you take this dangerous creature away with you and let it run free? What are you even thinking, Rufus?" Richard shouted.
Finally, I lost my patience and gave an order. "Johnson, please take Prince Richard back to the palace."
"Yes, sir." Johnson gave me a salute and ordered the other soldiers to take Richard away.
"So, you are on the same side as him! How dare you infiltrate my school with your men?!" Richard was visibly pissed off. He stomped his foot and pointed at Johnson, "Whether you like it or not, I am having you expelled from the army!" "Apologies, Prince Richard, but only the lycan king has the right to dismiss me from service," Johnson coldly replied.
"Oh, just you wait and see!"
