The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

Rufus watched me for a long time before slowly saying, "No. I believe she must have a good reason to do it."

After a brief pause, his lips curved up into a self-deprecating smile. "But I still want to deal with it together with her. It's better than being kept in the dark. Ever since I discovered that I lost a part of my memory, have been feeling like the whole world has abandoned me. Everyone except me knows the truth."

Rufus sighed as if he was genuinely at ease. "Honestly, whatever the reason might have been, it doesn't matter anymore. I just want to get my memory back and get some answers."

Perhaps I looked very serious, because Rufus stroked my cheek with his fingers as he continued in a very light tone, "It doesn't even matter if I don't get my memory back. We can start all over again. Crystal, having you here beside me is enough."

His expression was exceptionally gentle, and his eyes were shining with tenderness. The resentment that I had imagined would be there was missing, which made me sadder.

I would have preferred it if he became angry and blamed me for lying to him.

But he didn't. He didn't even utter one harsh word to me.

I knew he was afraid to lose me again. Once this realization set in, I felt like my heart was being repeatedly tugged. The infinitely magnified pain left me unable to come up with anything to conceal the truth.
