The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Laura's POV:

Crystal's call for help came as no surprise to me. On the day Crystal came back to the capital city, I had thought this might happen, but I didn't expect things to turn out so troublesome.

Even more surprisingly, Rufus' sensitivity caught me off guard. He was readily swayed by Crystal's charms even though he had lost his memories.

He pledged to pick a partner at the ball just two days ago, but he didn't give the women there so much as a glance. He paid no attention to anyone else but Crystal.

I sighed helplessly. They were star-crossed lovers.
