Flora's POV:
Stunned, I thought I misheard. "What did you say? The king wants to see me? Are you sure?"
The man nodded politely. "Absolutely. And the king wants to see you alone."
"What?! Why? Are you perhaps making a mistake? And it's my husband--Alpha Warren, that he want to see?" My heart leaped to my throat.
"Sorry, I don't know what the king's intentions are, but you're the one he wants to see and you'd better get ready to meet him as soon as possible." Then after bowing slightly, the man went out to wait for me.
My palms broke out in cold sweat. Although I had been a Luna for five years already, I had never met with Rufus alone during that time. And even when Rufus was still a prince, I was already afraid of him. Now, he was king of the empire, and his aura was even more domineering than before. If I accidentally said something wrong, I could get killed!
"Calm down. I'll go with you." Crystal reached for my hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
I shook my head, tears welling up in my eyes. "Didn't you hear what he said? Rufus only wants to see me. If we go together, that would be disobeying orders."
Crystal felt confused. "Why would Rufus suddenly want to see you so early in the morning? Did something happen to Warren?"
"Possibly!" My heart tightened in my chest and I immediately called Warren.
He didn't answer. I tried several times but was met with the busy dial tone. When I was about to give up, the call finally connected. But it was Lucas on the other end, saying that Warren was busy cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
I heaved a sigh of relief and then hang up after telling him to be a good boy and wait for me to come back.
"Warren's fine," I said to Crystal with relief.
Frowning, she mulled over the situation carefully. "Could it be related to me?"
I shook my head. "No way! Rufus isn't that observant, is he? I was very cautious, afraid that he'd find out that we were good friends. I don't even look at you whenever we're outside!"
