The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

I was so scared that I couldn't help but shout, "Rufus, get away from Beryl!"

Rufus' eyes darted from Beryl, who was in his arms, and then at me. With a serious look on his face, he asked grimly, "What's wrong?"

If I didn't notice the weird smile just now, I too would've fallen for her little act.
