The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Adela's POV:

I had come to the imperial palace at this time because I'd happened to hear from my father and brother that the lycan king was going to hold a ball and choose a girl to marry. At first, my father had no intentions of taking me to the palace, because I was only eighteen. He believed that I didn't need to get married at such a young age. I had begged him until he finally agreed to bring me with him to the palace. Now, it seemed that I'd made the right decision. If I hadn't insisted on coming, another she-wolf would have become Rufus' mate. This thought distressed me. Fortunately, I'd come here in time.

become the lycan king's mate, he would definitely be proud of me, and my sisters might even try to curry favor with me. I would have to figure out how to refuse them. Since I was going to become the queen, I had no need

of jealousy. I didn't know if Rufus was as distant from that mate as he was from me. He must have treated her very nicely though. Why else would he build a rose manor that spanned over an entire mountain for that mate? Although, that construction was never completed. That she-wolf had betrayed the empire and attempted to assassinate the old lycan king and Rufus. She had been executed, and the entire country was not permitted to utter her

an enormous contribution to the army. If she was still alive, she might have married Rufus and bore

moron and left Rufus, or I wouldn't

Otherwise, he would have had another she-wolf by his side since all this had happened so many years ago. If it weren't for this little incidence, the thought of finding a new mate probably wouldn't even have crossed his mind. The ball that had been held for choosing a queen had been totally pointless. Rufus hadn't even spared us girls a glance. On that day, I'd been a part of the crowd, longing for one look from him, but he walked out after the first dance and I didn't get an opportunity to get close to him. As my mind flashed back to that day, I was so annoyed
