The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

Crystal ran away as fast as she could, Arron in tow. She wasn't as calm and cunning as she used to be before, when she was trying to get rid of me. On the contrary, she looked quite scared and helpless without the mask. I highly doubted she'd have reacted like this if wearing a mask was just her "hobby". She wasn't a weak woman, and she should've been able to fight back, but she didn't.

Her voice, her face, and the angry look in her eyes when I took off her mask... It all kept replaying in my mind.
