The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 468 A Weird Night

Sylvia's POV:

There were more guards near the wall today than usual. Geoffrey might have suspected that we had gone outside the wall last night, thus strengthened security.

I hid in the shadows while waiting for the nearby group of guards to pass by. Once the coast was cleared, I went through the same hole in the wall from yesterday and got out. As soon as I got out, something felt off immediately. There was no one on the streets tonight. The city looked abandoned.

Even the air was a little weird.

It was so quiet that even the rustling of the leaves in the wind could be heard.

All lights in the buildings were out, including even the residential buildings in the distance.

I pursed my lips and observed the road.

It was impossible for all the werewolves outside the wall to suddenly disappear overnight. The only possibility was that they all went to a certain place for some common reason.

I thought of what Felix had told me and began to feel uneasy. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I was going to send Rufus a message to tell him that something was wrong, but I realized my pocket was empty. I had forgotten my phone somewhere.

I decided to go to the sewer from yesterday to see if I could find Felix.

Because of the water that was released last night, there were puddles everywhere. My trousers had gotten wet from walking all the way.

As expected, Felix was not in the sewer.

At this time, I heard a faint bell ring from the outside. It should be the hourly reminder. Based on the time I left off, I guessed it was exactly midnight.

However, this time last night, I didn't remember hearing a bell ring.

Things felt even weirder.

Suddenly, it started to grow noisy outside the sewer. I thought I even heard shrill screams.

My chest tightened and I wanted to have a look, but the clacking sounds of high-heeled shoes suddenly echoed, as if someone was walking toward me. I instinctively hid and held my breath, careful not to make a sound.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Soon, it stopped at the entrance of the sewer.

I continued to stay in the dark and didn't dare to move. I smelled a faint rose fragrance. That was probably from the person with the heels.

Still, there was something strange about it. The scent seemed similar to the slave Ashley, combined with the smell of blood.

All of a sudden, the sewer lid opened up, letting in a bright light. I shrank back into the wall, hoping not to be seen.

An enchanting female voice came from above.

"Let's see if there are any wolves hiding in here today. Are you well-hidden in there? I'm coming for you."

The voice then disappeared. For a few moments, I waited quietly and made sure she was gone before moving my feet, slowly trying to poke my head out.

But as soon as I stretched out my neck, a head of golden hair popped into the sewer entrance.

Instantly, I backed up into the wall again.

"Oh!" The woman sounded excited. "I smell a wolf here. You better hide well, my dear. We're going to play hide and seek."

The sound clacking heels followed, but this time it was faster and sounded threatening.

As the footsteps got closer, I got shocked because I could smell her scent more clearly. The woman who appeared out of nowhere was not a werewolf at all. She was a vampire.
