The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

Rufus pursed his lips and remained quiet for a few minutes. Then, he said, "Maybe I'm mistaken. I seem to notice a slight difference in your demeanor when you're dealing with acquaintances and strangers. Sometimes I get the impression that you're also familiar with me."

I was nonplussed for a second before I smiled. "You're definitely mistaken. This is the first time I'm visiting the imperial city and meeting you. I was nobody before this. How could I know you? And I haven't stepped foot outside the border pack since assuming the position of Alpha."

Rufus' eyebrows furrowed as he countered, "I would never forget someone I've met."

"You claim that you remember everyone you meet, so search your memory. Have you seen me before?" I asked.

Rufus tilted his head and studied me thoughtfully. I held my breath and summoned my courage to meet his eyes, praying that he didn't suddenly recall anything about our past.
