The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1273

Crystal's POV:

Without a moment to lose, Rufus and I rushed to Laura's palace.

Since Ethan's death, Laura had been living alone in a smaller structure in a secluded corner of the garden.

Only a few lanterns were on, and there were no guards patrolling the palace.

It looked oddly quiet from a distance.

I couldn't shake off the bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I couldn't imagine what kinds of horrible things Noreen would do to Arron.

If Laura wasn't on her guard, Noreen could easily fool her.

I stopped in front of the door nervously and reached for the door handle, but Rufus quickly grabbed my wrist and pulled me behind him protectively. "Let me do it."

Then with a cold, dark expression, he decisively pushed the door open.

The faint sound of a child's laughter came from the end of the corridor.

It was undoubtedly Arron laughing.

There was a small garden at the end of the corridor. Arron liked to hide there whenever they played hide -and-seek.

Rufus and I exchanged glances and simultaneously sighed in relief.

Fortunately, Arron was okay.

But all of a sudden, we heard him scream.

My heart skipped a beat. I rushed to the end of the corridor and yanked the curtains out of the way. A delicate garden came into view.

I looked around and found that Beryl was approaching Arron with a strange-lookingbug in the palm of her hand.

"What are you doing?!"
