The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

"Rufus, I've actually thought about what you've just said." My mother's anger suddenly dissipated and she just sighed sadly.

I didn't say anything. I just looked at her wrinkled, fragile face and couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in my heart.

Once upon a time, my mother was a soft-hearted, kind woman. But time had hardened her into a sharp, heartless woman who pushed those closest to her away. Our relationship grew more and more strained as the years went by.

I had known that she was dissatisfied with Richard. In the past two years especially, she and Richard were like fire and water, unable to even be in the same room together.

As for her relationship with my father, they were on and off. As soon as they'd get close to each other, one way or another, they'd drift away. They always quarreled. I rarely saw them affectionate with each other, unlike before.

I knew this was taking a toll on her heart, but I also knew that there was no one who could solve this problem but herself.
