Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Rufus’ POV:

I felt a stifling pressure surrounding me. It did not help how dark the place was; everywhere I looked, the shadows were the only thing that greeted and welcomed me.

I let myself be swallowed by the endless night as I walked. There was nothingI could make out of the shade, not even a single sound. I heaved a heavy breath and forgot who I was, like a traveler struggling to survive in the middle of the desert.

In the midst of my wandering, a cry got caught up in my ears. It seemed all the nerves in my body stopped functioning. My mind became clear of the fog that muddled me and colors began to slowly seep through my eyes.

A girl clad in rags on the bed turned around, her face drenched with tears. The moment she saw me, she was even more aggrieved. “Rufus, why would you leave me alone? I can’t find you.”

“Sylvia…” The voice that croaked from my throat was hoarse and unfamiliar and it was shaky, like a child who had just learned to speak, calling the name of the person he loved

My mind was a blank slate, but the moment the girl materialized before my eyes, everything seemed to have become natural. The resonance deep in my soul made me call out the girl’s name. I knew that she was my mate.

I opened my arms wide, but when I was close to hugging her, the image of her suddenly vanished and the space morphed into something else.

A girl in a gorgeous dress was smiling brightly at me. My dead heart seemed to come back to life as I felt it beat against my chest.

“Rufus, why aren’t you saying anything? You think I’m a bad dancer, don’t you?” The girl shot me a dagger stare, stood on tiptoe, and hit my chin with her forehead

When I came to my senses, I found myself holding the girl’s hand and we were in the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by people in magnificent dresses.

Ethan and Laura were looking at us with a smile from a distance.

Everything was just like before. Ethan was still alive, and Laura’s hair was not yet gray. She still had the love of her life by her side, smiling beside her.

The scene changed again. This time, I was back at the palace where I used to live. Under the grapevine, the girl whose belly was obvious with a bump was quietly alight on the rocking chair, sleeping soundly. Judging from her belly, it was most likely that two babies were healthily growing inside it.

I sneaked up on her, habitually crouched beside her, placed a k**s on her forehead, and blocked the dazzling sunlight for her.

The pain that surged through my veins earlier evanesced. Life became peaceful and happy.

“Daddy, why are you crying?” Someone unexpectedly tugged one of the legs of my trousers. I looked down and my eyes found Beryl.

The scene around me changed again before I could even savor it.

“It must be because Mommy ate Daddy’s cake.” Arron was standing behind Beryl with his hands clasped behind his back. His little face, which was a carbon copy of mine, was wearing a very serious expression.

“No, it’s not like that. Daddy doesn’t like cakes. He hates sweet food the most. It must be because Mommy went to a party with Auntie Flora and didn’t come back to sleep here last night.”

“No, you’re wrong, I don’t believe that’s the reason why Daddy’s sad. It’s because he didn’t get a bite of the cake.”

“Arron, you fancy cakes, right? You keep mentioning it.”

It was as if the boy was a deer caught in the headlights, and he was stunned. He snorted. “Well, I don’t want to talk to you. I’ll go play with Mommy.” I stood there, not moving a muscle and just watching them run away from me.

Those faded memories were no longer blurred and gradually became apparent.

It dawned on me that I had forgotten so much. It seemed I had forgotten the very core of my life.

The wind became

fierce, and the air was filled with the stench of b***d.

Another dose of pain shot through my chest. I opened my eyes and saw Noreen’s distorted face. Not far from me was Sylvia’s scream, ringing in my ears.

“Rufus, move aside!”

I didn’t budge and only watched Noreen take out my heart.

The scenes suddenly stopped playing.

I woke up from the dream. I finally recollected the memories I had lost.
