The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

I saw someone pass by the window. It was Crystal, holding her kid in her arms.

Was she leaving so soon? Somehow, I felt that she looked a bit sad.

I wanted to chase after her by instinct, but when I heard my mother calling me, I stopped and held back the impulse in my heart. "Rufus, what's wrong?" she asked in a concerned tone.

I stared in the direction the she-wolf had left for a long time without saying anything. I didn't know why, but recently, I felt deeply affected by that she-wolf. As long as she was present, I wouldn't be able to focus on anything but her. Whenever I felt that she was unhappy, I subconsciously wanted to comfort her. It took every inch of willpower to restrain myself from doing so, and I always failed miserably.
