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.

I watched the she-wolf's receding figure in the distance. Instead of chasing after her, I asked everyone to leave and sat alone in the lounge, lost in thought.

Crystal's face still lingered in my mind. It was the first time I'd seen her real face, and I couldn't seem to shake off the weird feeling gnawing at me inside. I leaned against the backrest of the sofa and closed my eyes tiredly. Although the room was quiet, my mind was buzzing.

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

Crystal was undoubtedly a scheming woman who breathed. She kept so many secrets. Now, I had only revealed the most superficial layer. I still needed to find out her motives and intentions.
