The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

The python's eyes flew open and it launched an attack in my daughter's direction while I was midway through transforming into my wolf form.

It stuck its scarlet tongue out. It looked as if it was preparing to swallow my daughter in the next second.

I didn't have time to stop the python. Even if I did my best, I wouldn't be able to get to my daughter in one second.

Beryl was so terrified that all the color drained from her face. She shut her eyes and sobbed bitterly.

Fortunately, at that moment, Rufus sprung forward. He positioned himself in front of her and struck the python's head with his sharp wolf claws.

The python was not ready for this, and it sustained a huge gash in the middle of its head.

Rufus didn't give the python any time to react. He attacked its eyes again.

This time, the python responded in time and twisted its body violently, making the leaves on the branches rustle down.

The python released a shrill hissing sound, making everyone's ears ring.

Ignoring the pain in my ears, I quickly leaped onto the tree trunk and tried to catch Rufus, but the python noticed me and swung its thick tail at me.
