The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1107

Crystal's POV:

After watching Adela's poor acting, I asked sarcastically, "Are you implying that I pushed you into the water? Why in the world would I do that?" "Because you know that I can't swim! You want to kill me, don't you?" Adela forced a shiver as her clothes clung to her body. I had to admit, she was quite attractive by most standards. It was too bad that she just had to make herself look like a fool.

What an absolute idiot.

"Why would I, an Alpha, sully my hands by trying to kill a noble lady in broad daylight? I would have to be out of my mind to do that, and you must be crazy for suggesting such a thing." I openly scoffed at Adela, lamenting the time I had wasted so far on arguing with this stubborn blockhead.

Adela let loose another stream of tears. "Admit it, you're jealous of me because I'm the lycan king's mate!" She then whirled around at the guards. "What are you waiting for? Apprehend this she-wolf and report to the king that she tried to murder the future queen!"

The guards shuffled their feet and cast nervous glances at me. "That might not be a good idea," one of them spoke up. "She is the Alpha of the border pack. We dare not offend her."

Adela choked on a sob. Clearly, it wasn't the response she was hoping for. Her face turned a brighter shade of red, and more tears spilled from her eyes. "So what if she is an Alpha? I am the future lycan queen, the one who saved your king! Are you sure you don't want to heed my order?"

Even the servants looked torn at this point. "Miss Castillo, we have the utmost respect for you, however..."

"Enough, just go and fetch the king," I interrupted with a sigh. I didn't have the patience or the energy to drag this fiasco any longer. Rufus might as well join the circus.

Still, the servant who had just spoken hesitated. "Alpha Crystal, are you certain you want us to call the king over? I don't think we have to bother the king with such a trifle."

"It is not a trifle!" Adela shrieked. "It is only right to inform the king that his future queen was bullied!" She ended her outburst by lowering her head and sobbing into her hands.

I couldn't help but laugh at the sight. "Did you hear that? Go on now; fetch the king. I have a feeling he will be very interested to know how his future queen, who claims that she doesn't know how to swim, was able to save him from the depths of the lake."

Adela's head jerked up at this, her expression changing drastically. "Crystal, do you really hate me that much?" she asked in outraged disbelief. "Do you intend to discredit me in everything I say or do?" I snorted and bit my lip to stifle another chuckle. I looked her up and down and said, "I don't hate you, Adela. But that doesn't mean that I will just stand by and watch you do whatever you want. I don't want our king to have a liar for a queen. You won't succeed with your schemes as long as I'm around." As soon as she heard this, Adela's face twisted into a vicious expression. Her upper lip curled up to meet her flared nostrils, and her eyes flashed wildly. "I have no idea what you're talking about. You must have some misunderstandings about me. If you like, I'd be more than happy to clarify them with you in private."

I raised an eyebrow, and shot her a knowing smile.

Alas, there wasn't much excitement to be had in one's victory if one's opponent was a complete and utter moron. "That won't be necessary. The only thing you need to clarify is how you managed to rescue the unconscious king from the lake when you supposedly cannot swim."

The crowd buzzed around us. They knew that I had an excellent point. They began to look at Adela with suspicion as they murmured to themselves.
