Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 557

Sylvia’s POV:

The hostages from both sides walked very carefully, fearing that one wrong move could have disastrous consequences.

I stared at Layla and nodded at her, encouraging her to come over bravely.

Layla pursed her lips and looked serious. It could be seen from her trembling hands that she was also very nervous.

Soon, the hostages of both sides reached their own groups without a hitch.

I approached Layla and helped her untie the rope.

“Be careful. I can feel an ambush coming.” Layla warned me in a low voice.

“I know.” I looked up and winked at her meaningfully.

Suddenly, the silver-haired vampire spoke up again. “You should check on her carefully, lest later you say that it’s not the person you want.”

I pulled Layla behind me protectively. Glaring defiantly at the silver-haired vampire, I replied, “She’s the person we want. Why don’t you check your captives?”

The silver-haired vampire didn’t seem to take me seriously. He smiled and clicked his tongue arrogantly. “You’re dead meat, yet you still have the audacity to defy me.”

“Is that so? Who said we’re going to die here?” I shrugged nonchalantly, pretending to be clueless.

“This is our territory, remember?” The silver-haired vampire’s lips curved into an evil smile. He slowly raised his hand, as if to give a signal to his fellow vampires.

But before they could act, the vampire captives who had just walked over to them suddenly attacked the other vampires present.

Chaos broke loose on the other side.

“Let’s go.” I grabbed Layla’s hand and started running.

Warren was in front of us. He led the way, while Rufus stayed behind.

“What the hell’s going on?” Layla was confused. She glanced back while running.

The scene we had just left was a mess. Just then, two hooded people emerged from the crowd. It was Flora and Ashley.

They were running towards us quickly.

“Mission accomplished!” Flora said with a big, bright smile. She immediately threw her arms around Layla and cried, “I’m glad you’re alive!”

Ever since Flora found out that Layla had come to my rescue and fought off the vampires, she had no reservations about her anymore.

“What just happened?” Layla looked at Flora and Ashley in shock and bewilderment.

“Before the exchange, Ashley used her special power on the vampire captives. They’re all bewitched. If they can’t manage to see through the illusion at the very beginning, they’ll soon completely fall into her control and become her puppets. They will obey her orders unconditionally unless she stops using her special power,” I explained briefly.

“Wait, so this is all Ashley’s doing? Why would she help us?” Layla couldn’t seem to wrap her head around the whole situation despite my explanation. She narrowed her eyes at Ashley dubiously. “You were a slave to the werewolves and suffered endlessly. Don’t you hate us?”

Ashley didn’t answer. She simply looked at Layla helplessly, as though she didn’t know how to explain.

“Let’s talk about this later. Right now, we have to get out of here,” I said hurriedly.

“Yeah! What if they catch up to us?” Flora looked back nervously.

Sure enough, the vampires had regained their composure and were now calling upon their companions in the dark to chase after us.

Layla shot one last glance at Ashley but didn’t probe further. “Let’s go.”
