The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

My father and I retired to his study. Neither of us exchanged a word for a while. He was standing with his back to me. But his angry face was reflected on a row of crystal glass decor pieces on the shelf. Five minutes of silence later, I couldn't help but break the ice first. "Father."

My father snorted but refused to turn around.

"Then, if there's nothing you need to tell me, I'll get going first," I said nonchalantly. The truth was, I knew exactly why my father was angry, but he had no choice but to accept it.

All of a sudden, my father whirled around and slammed his fist on the desk. "You insolent child! How dare you! It's clear that you don't even take me seriously!"

I looked up at him calmly and said in a flat tone, "Father, did you forget that we have already reached an agreement?"

"Even then, you should have informed me in advance!" My father pointed a trembling finger at me. Eyes wide with rage, he demanded, "Do you have any idea what you've done? You acted without my consent then reported to me afterwards."

"Please, don't be angry." I frowned slightly. "We agreed from the very beginning that I'd announce my mate bond as soon as we proved Sylvia's mother's innocence. I kept my end of the bargain and didn't make it public until now. I think I should be the one who's aggrieved right now."
