The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1083

Adela's POV:

Last night, I had watched the battle between Rufus and the vampires from a hiding spot by the rocks on the edge of the cliff. It was very fierce and intense.

I had stayed put where I was, afraid that I might accidentally get injured if I came any closer. I didn't dare to make a sound or a single move, until I saw Rufus falling off the cliff.

I remember freezing when I saw that, and I had struggled to swallow the scream that rose in my throat. I had no idea what to do.

Rufus, the strongest werewolf in the kingdom, had fallen in the hands of the vampires. Even if I had rushed in to save him, I was powerless against the vampires. I had never trained a single day in my life, and the vampires would probably kill me in the blink of an eye.

Then, just when I thought I was going to lose my mind, I spotted a nimble she-wolf leap over the cliff and disappear among the bushes below.

That had only made me hesitate more. I was itching to head down and see what was going on, but I was too scared to come out of my hiding place. In the end, I stayed where I was.

It wasn't until all the vampires had been defeated by the rest of Rufus' men that I was able to muster the courage to step out into the bloody battlefield.

It had taken me a long time to make my way down the cliff. It wasn't an easy path to begin with, and I already had a slight night blindness to deal with. The only thing I could rely on was the faint glow from my phone's screen. I remember stumbling several times and scraping my arms and knees.

On my way, I had almost roused a bear from its sleep, and I had to make another detour on my trek. Fortunately, I had been able to reach Rufus just before dawn.

He was curled up by himself inside a cave, his face mottled with pain. He had fainted, and was clearly in a terrible condition.

There had been no one else with him, no trace of the she-wolf except for the clothes she had left behind. I hadn't the foggiest clue what could have happened between them, but I recognized the great opportunity that had fallen on my lap. I remember being so excited by the prospect that my hands were shaking.

I had taken my clothes off as fast as I could, tied them to a rock, and threw it into the lake. Then, I took out the potion I had carried with me this whole time and held it up under Rufus nose to let him sniff it into his system. The potion was designed to make him mistake me for his mate. Its effects would last for a month, which might not sound long, but it was enough time for me to complete the rest of my plan.
