The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1075

Crystal's POV:

I was stunned and my eyes flew to Rufus in disbelief. I reflexively blinked and my mind went blank. For a moment, I didn't know how to proceed.

Laura also couldn't believe how ridiculous Rufus was being. She asked, "Look, Rufus, how can you be sure? Perhaps you have made a mistake!"

Rufus scowled and studied us with displeasure. "I'm sure there's no mistake. As soon as I opened my eyes and saw Adela, I felt my mate's aura under the Moon Goddess' guidance, so I brought her back with me. I'm not wrong."

Adela's cheeks colored and she glanced at Rufus before shyly dropping her gaze to her feet.

I was bewildered. Rufus and I were still mates since we didn't break off the bond between us. Werewolves were loyal creatures. So how could the Moon Goddess guide him to a second mate?

"That's impossible. The Moon Goddess couldn't have done something so outrageous..."

I mumbled to myself. After saying this, I realized that Rufus and Adela were staring at me. It only dawned on me then that I had spoken my thoughts out loud.

I hurriedly shut my mouth and dragged my mind back to the present. I forced myself to meet Rufus ' deep gaze. I had made several mistakes today and was behaving weirdly. I prayed that he wouldn't get more suspicious of me than he already was.

But when I noticed the frostiness in his eyes, my stomach twisted uneasily.

Sure enough, Rufus looked up and asked my sharply, "Why is it impossible? Are you hiding something from me?"

I was nonplussed and didn't know how to reply. My mind was muddled. Faced with Rufus' sharp scrutiny, I felt defeated. I quickly looked away from him in panic and didn't meet his eyes again.

Fortunately, Laura came to my rescue. "Crystal just thinks it's too big of a coincidence. She is just being cautious for your own good. After all, you're a man of high stature, so it is wise for you to be discreet."

The girl lowered her head awkwardly at these words. The tips of her ears turned red, and it seemed that she was embarrassed.

However, Rufus' expression significantly softened. He pressed his lips into a thin line and stayed silent for a while. Then he said to me, "You've been against Adela since the moment you walked in. You claimed that she was not the one who saved me. What proof do you have? Did you witness the matter with your own eyes?"
