The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

Rin successfully caught Beryl and safely landed on the ground. The little girl in Rin's mouth seemed to be startled. She didn't make a sound after landing on the ground. She just unblinkingly gazed at Rin. Rin tilted her head and watched my daughter curiously without saying anything.

They just stared at each other in silence.

I heaved a sigh of relief. Noting that my daughter was safe, I didn't waste any more time and shouted to Rin, "Protect her!"

Rin let out a howl, indicating that she was on the job.

If Rufus became exhausted and couldn't resist anymore, the python would sink its fangs into him without hesitation. Its venom was highly toxic, and Rufus would probably die in seconds.

I didn't have the nerve to imagine that scenario. Without a second's hesitation, I turned into a wolf and charged at the python. I pierced my claws through its tail, trying to catch its attention. But it completely ignored me, its entire focus dedicated to dealing with Rufus.
