Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Sylvia’s POV:

“Maya, why are you here?”

My gaze shifted to the person being pinned on the ground by Rufus, and I felt my heart ache. Even though I was already prepared for this, I still couldn’t help but break down.

Maya looked flustered. She knelt on the ground and began spouting incoherent words.

Rufus took out the shackles and locked Maya’s hands together. Then, he glared at her and coldly asked, “Do you still want to defend yourself?”

Tears began streaming down Maya’s cheeks. “Prince Rufus, it wasn’t me! I didn’t do it!”

She quickly shifted her gaze at me. “Miss Todd, please trust me. I didn’t mean to do that!”

I pulled Maya’s hands away from my trousers and looked at her in disappointment. “What do you mean to do, then? You’ve been trying everything you could to make me suffer. I already gave you a chance, but you still came here tonight.”

Maya began to sob. She bent over and pressed her forehead against the ground as she guiltily exclaimed, “I’m sorry! I really don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t want to do this. I know something is definitely wrong with me. I can’t seem to control myself!”

Upon hearing that, Rufus and I looked at each other.

Was she really Maya? Was it possible that Noreen had been controlling her the whole time?

I wanted to help her up, but Rufus stopped me and shook his head, indicating for me to observe her a little longer.

Maya’s sobs grew louder as her thin body trembled in panic and fear. “I really want to control myself, but I always have thoughts that don’t belong to me. If I disobey them, I’ll have a splitting headache. Sometimes, I would say something that I didn’t want to say, and by the time I realized it, it was already too late. I’m truly sorry. I know I’ve let you down. If my death can make up for everything I did, please just let me die.”

After Maya said that, she stood up and was about to purposely hit the tree.

Knowing what she was going to do, I hurriedly went to her side and wrapped my arms around her waist.

“I’m so sorry, Miss Todd. Please just let me die!” Maya cried at the top of her lungs.

“It’s not your fault, Maya. It’s Noreen’s. She’s the one who controlled you,” I said, trying to comfort her. I felt so bad for her at that point.

Maya choked on her sobs. A look of guilt flashed across her eyes as she glanced at me. “I want to make up for everything I did, Miss Todd. How can I do that? And please catch Noreen and make her fix me. I don’t want to feel this way anymore.”

I moved her hair to the side of her face. “Do you remember when you last met Noreen?”

Maya looked down and pondered about it for a while, but she eventually shook her head. “I can’t remember anything.”

“Maya, think it over carefully. Please.” I looked at her expectantly, hoping to get some useful information from her.

Unexpectedly, Maya covered her head with her arms and grimaced in pain. “No, I can’t. My head always hurts whenever I think about it.”

I was about to go closer to Maya so I could hug her, but just then, I heard Rufus’ voice as he shouted, “Watch out!”

He grabbed Maya as he spoke and threw her aside, knocking her out in the process.

That was when I noticed something. Maya had been holding a small dagger. If it weren’t for Rufus, she would have stabbed me.

Rufus clenched his fists. He could no longer suppress his anger, and I could tell that he wanted to kill Maya right then and there.

However, I stopped him just before he was about to turn into a wolf and begged, “Please don’t hurt her, Rufus. We can fix her after we catch Noreen!”

However, Rufus turned to look at me and frowned. “She’s not Maya.”
