The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 983

Crystal's POV:

I'd been searching for Arron for a long time. At last, I spotted Beryl and him arguing with the guards in front of a banquet hall.

I became anxious when I realized that this was the venue of Rufus' ball. A continuous stream of Alphas and noble ladies of various packs were entering the hall. Rufus would arrive at any time. I couldn't let him see Arron.

I called out to Arron, wanting to take him with me. He obviously heard me, but he charged into the banquet hall with Beryl without a backward glance.

I was puzzled. Why was he suddenly rebelling? Arron had never disobeyed me.

I hurried to get to him, but was stopped by a guard at the entrance of the hall.

"You can't go in without the invitation." The guard scrutinized me with sharp eyes.

I awkwardly pulled my knee length thick coat tighter around me. I had stepped out of my accommodations in a hurry and was wearing my pajamas and pink wool slippers. I was obviously inappropriately dressed for the ball. If I were the guard, I wouldn't allow someone like me to go inside.

"I'm the mother of the two kids who just went in.

I want to take them back with me," I tried to explain to the guard, but he ignored me. He just asked me to show him my invitation and stated that he could allow me inside as long as I had an invitation.

I colored with embarrassment. I had no intention of attending the ball at all, so I wasn't carrying the invitation with me when I rushed out to look for my son. I hadn't expected that Arron would come here by himself.
