The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1137

Rufus' POV:

I had already been informed of the matter on the way here. Arron was missing. No wonder Crystal had made such a ruckus.

But I still couldn't control the anger I felt at her impulsiveness. Instead of first coming to me, she took her own people to create trouble in the imperial palace. Neither did she consider my feelings, nor did she take me seriously.

I'd thought that I would give her a severe dressing down when I saw her.

However, when I saw her pained eyes, my heart softened. I couldn't continue being angry with her, let alone blame her. I could see that she was anxious, but pretending to be strong. When she met my eyes, I was even overwhelmed by the impulse to wrap my arms around her.

I inwardly sighed. This she-wolf had really bewitched me. She had pushed my buttons several times, but I was willing to change my principles for her.

I had probably lost my mind.

I inhaled deeply to calm myself down. Without telling her anything, I turned around and ordered the guards beside me, "Lock down the imperial palace compound. Anyone who wants to leave must undergo a rigorous inspection. Don't allow anyone to take the kid outside. Go and probe everyone's whereabouts tonight and find witnesses. If anyone behaves suspiciously, bring them here, whether the person is a guard, an elder, or their family member." All the guards instantly left to carry out my orders,

leaving only Crystal and me. I turned my attention back to her, and saw that her eyes were red. She was obviously still upset.

She tugged on my sleeve. Her anger was gone, replaced by a sheepish expression.

"Did we make too big a fuss?" Crystal asked in a slightly frightened voice while tilting her head a little.

I was very satisfied with her contriteness, but I didn't reveal it on my face.
