The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1241

Adela's POV:

The look in Rufus's eyes told me that he knew something. Too scared and flustered to think straight, I didn't know when I gave myself away.

There were still ten days left before the spell wore off. I had been planning to get closer to Rufus within this period so that I could have sex with him and bear his child.

That way, even if the jig was up and my real identity was exposed, I still had a trump card—the child.

And even if Rufus got angry with me, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me since I was the mother of his heir.

I'd already done some digging and found out that Rufus wasn't in love with anyone at the moment, nor did he care to find out who his mate was. So I figured that Rufus would definitely marry me if I bore him a child.

My plan had been going smoothly and wedding arrangements had been made.

But recently, the royal palace had been heavily guarded, and Rufus had been busy. Whenever I tried to see him, I was snubbed.

Later, I heard that Crystal was sick and that Rufus was taking care of her, which explained why I couldn't see him.

Today, I was finally able to find out where Crystal lived. Determined to separate the two, I went straight there to warn her to stay away from Rufus. But things went out of hand very quickly. I was always proud of my good looks and I always believed that Rufus would fall in love with me

sooner or later. Until I saw Crystal's face. She wasn't the disfigured she-wolf people described her to be. On the contrary, she was so beautiful that I felt insecure just looking at her.

But what was even more unacceptable to me was the way Rufus looked at her. He was so gentle and affectionate—the exact same way a werewolf would look at their true mate.

At that moment, I knew Rufus must've fallen in love with Crystal.
