The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

A guilty look flashed across Adela's face before she assumed her usual timid demeanor. Only a fool would fall for her act.

The problem was that I still had no idea who was the mastermind behind Adela's evil plan. It seemed that I had no choice but to wait for the true perpetrator to show up. "What is it that you know?" Adela asked warily.

I shrugged noncommittally. "Come to me when you finally figure it out." I turned and made to leave, not wanting to waste any more of my time on the duplicitous she-wolf.

"No! You can't leave without making yourself clear!" Adela grabbed my arm and pulled me back. She looked some deranged harridan as she demanded that I reveal what I knew.

"I have nothing else to say." I was getting increasingly annoyed. I never wanted to talk to her in the first place.

Adela's grip tightened around my wrist, so much so that it actually hurt. She was sporting a vicious expression as she spat out, "Tell me what happened between you and the king! What do you know?"

I pried my hand out of her hold, releasing my fingers one by one. "No comment," I taunted.

"Mark my words, Crystal. Once I am queen, I will make sure that your days are miserable for the rest of your life!"
