The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1239

Crystal's POV:

Because of what happened to Arron, I nearly forgot all about Adela.

But the moment I saw the she-wolf, my expression darkened as I suddenly recalled that Rufus had been fooled into thinking Adela was his mate.

The mere thought of that made me so angry. I put down my knife and fork, having lost my appetite completely.

Adela was well-dressed, as usual. She looked like a delicate, beautiful flower. Anyone who saw her would've gaped in admiration.

But this she-wolf was brainless. The second she opened her mouth, she put off anyone unfortunate enough to be within earshot.

I feigned an innocent expression and looked at Rufus questioningly. "Who's this pretty girl?"

"I'm the king's mate!" Adela blurted, jutting out her chin proudly.

I sneered inwardly and widened my eyes in disbelief. "Rufus, didn't you say that I'm your mate? Who the hell is she?"

"She's a nobody," Rufus answered simply, frowning in Adela's direction.

With sharp eyes, he said to Adela coldly, "Didn't I say that no one's allowed to come in here without my permission?"

Adela was frightened by Rufus's coldness, but she still tried to defend herself. "I'm your mate, Your Majesty! Don't you care about me?"

Rufus's patience was running thin. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him and his expression darkened. "There's something I've been meaning to ask you, Adela."

"What's that?" I interjected coldly. It seemed that Rufus wanted to have a private conversation with Adela, and I wasn't happy about it.
