The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Richard's POV:

As I followed my father into the manor, it was already quiet, as if the whole place was empty.

I felt my chest tighten. Did Rufus already kill Lucy and leave?

I continued to walk up the stairs with my father, but my heart was already heavy. Ever since I heard of Rufus' secret, I had changed my mind. All I could hope now was for the baby in Lucy's womb to be born safely and become my father's first grandchild. That would give me more chances of taking the throne. However, if Lucy were still alive, she would definitely tell on what I had done to her. After all, we had fallen out with each other completely.

The whole journey, I had also been thinking of this problem. By the time my father and I had arrived at Lucy's room, I still hadn't come up with a solution in my head. I decided to just play by ear. To my surprise, the room was empty. No dead body of Lucy's.

"Look, next door!" my father shouted, seeing the half collapsed wall, and immediately ran toward it.

I followed closely behind. As soon as we passed through the broken wall, we saw two wolves escaping through the window. Instantly, I recognized those to be the wolves of Sylvia and Rufus.
