The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1085

Lucy's POV:

I walked out of the room, making sure to lock the door behind me. As soon as I exited the corridor, I was greeted by the sight of Adela. Her face was all scrunched up in her anxious musings.

I shot her a glare, but she didn't seem to notice me. She was so deep in thought that she eventually ran right into me.

That only irritated me even more. If I could find someone else, I wouldn't bother working with this brainless idiot.

Adela's eyes lit up when she finally saw me. "I thought you weren't here!" she exclaimed.

I felt my scowl deepen. "I've told you time and time again not to come to me unless it's urgent! Don't you realize how easy it is to expose both of us if you keep coming here like this?"

I could tell that Adela wasn't taking my words seriously. She just beamed at me and practically skipped to my side, taking my hands in hers. "I'm here to share some good news with you."

"What is it?" I didn't want to waste time exchanging nonsense with her. I pulled away in disgust, and then walked past her to get a glass of water.

Adela was still smiling, seemingly unfazed by my obvious animosity. "Thanks to the instructions you gave me, I was able to save Rufus from grave danger. He has since promised to marry me as his new mate."

I curled my lips in disdain. "Really? You, saved Rufus?"

Adela simply pursed her lips and tilted her head as if she hadn't had a care in the world. "The details don't matter, as long as the desired result is met. Rufus even told Laura that our wedding will be held to the highest standard. Soon, I will be the queen, the most honorable she-wolf in the kingdom."

I sneered and rolled my eyes. "If that is the case, then you should be happily spending your time with Rufus instead of wasting my time."
