The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

I immediately accosted the attending physician as soon as I arrived at Crystal's palace, and asked him about her condition. I didn't let my worry ease up until he reassured me that she was on the mend. I dismissed the doctor and all the servants from the room. I was alone with Crystal.

I gazed down at her delicate face and slowly took in her unique scent. Why had I never realized how good she smelled before? It felt like... Home. Like it was where my soul belonged.

"Do you feel it as well, Rufus?" Omar piped up out of the blue. "Crystal's scent is pleasant and so familiar. It reminds me of something, I just don't know what."

"What's the first thing that you think of?" I asked him.

Omar was silent for a while, as though giving it a long, hard thought. "I... I don't know. I can't remember. But I like the way she smells."

His response did not surprise me. If I couldn't remember Crystal's scent, then neither would he.

Omar would naturally be attuned to my emotions, especially toward other people.

I took Crystal's hand and stared at the tiny dimple at the back of her thumb. It occurred to me then that every part of her was beautiful. Even a single, tiny dimple in her hand was so alluring.
