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?"

Then I looked at Beryl again. The devious smile from earlier was completely gone, and her childish face was full of grievance and sadness. She wrapped her arms around Rufus' neck and looked at me in fear, as if what I saw just now was just an illusion.

This was ridiculous!

I stepped back in a trance, not knowing how to explain.

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

Noreen was so damn cunning!

Rufus seemed to sense that I was in a terrible mood, so he put Beryl down and pulled me into a warm embrace. He kissed my forehead and whispered in a voice only I could hear, "Calm down. We'll talk about this later."
