The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1007

Flora's POV:

When I heard that Rufus had summoned Joanna, I was overwhelmed with desperation.

Everything had happened so fast. I had randomly dropped a name and didn't have time to warn Joanna about what was happening. I hadn't expected Rufus to be so serious about it. It seemed that he truly wanted to know every detail about Crystal.

If Joanna's story didn't match mine, I would be doomed. Rufus would definitely be furious. It was rumored that he dealt with traitors by hanging them outside the city wall and letting them slowly die in the heat of the sun.

I had lied to the king, which meant that I'd committed treason. As this thought crossed my mind, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, and I almost couldn't hold back my tears. This was so terrible. If I died, what would happen to Lucas? And Warren would be so devastated that he might commit suicide. Our happy family would be destroyed.

"What are you murmuring about?" Rufus suddenly asked in an icy voice.

I got so frightened that I instantly clamped my hand over my mouth. My entire body was shaking with fear and even my teeth were chattering. I hadn't expected Rufus to be able to hear such minute sounds.

Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself and lowered my head as much as possible.

Now I could only wait for Joanna to come and settle this matter.

She arrived soon enough.

I immediately sprang to my feet, wanting to give her hints about what was to come, but Rufus expression was so terrifying that no words came out of my mouth. Instead, I desperately winked in her direction.
