The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

As soon as Crystal opened the coffin, Noreen's dried -up skeleton came into sight. The greyish-white bones stood out sharply against the coffin's black velvet interior.

It looked as though Noreen had died holding a crystal ball, because her skeletal hand remained outstretched.

I was confused. Didn't it take a long time for rigor mortis to set in after death? Why did Noreen's body stiffen immediately after she died?

Was this what happened to black witches when they died?

With a grim expression, Crystal walked around the white coffin.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew, and the crows lurking on the tree branches took off.
