The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1034

Rufus' POV:

The conversation between me and my mother sounded each other out, but neither of us got the information we wanted.

My wolf, Omar, couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you just question your mother about the real relationship between her and Crystal? Instinct tells me that she has the answers to your questions. You two should just talk about it frankly."

"There's no need to rush. They're hiding something from me, and they'll keep fabricating lies the more questions I ask them. It's better to pretend not to know anything and just wait for them to expose themselves," I countered.

After a short pause, Omar mused, "When I saw Crystal's wolf today, I felt a sense of familiarity, but I can't tell why I had that feeling."

Hearing this, I didn't say anything. Truth be told, I felt the same way as Omar did. I even had the inexplicable urge to stay close to Crystal. Fortunately, logic overpowered my emotions.

The more I learned about Crystal, the more unsolved puzzles kept me up. It would take some time to solve them all, but I had plenty of patience and time.

I sent Blair to the border so that he could look deeper into Crystal's background. I doubted an elusive she-wolf like her would have a clean past.

And I'd try to pin down the jerk who had abandoned her. Unless he was dead, I wouldn't rest until he was found and punished accordingly.

Just then, Beryl groaned in my mother's arms, pulling me back to my senses.

Beryl slowly opened her eyes and looked at us in a daze.

My mother gently patted her back and said softly, "Beryl, are you hurt?"

Beryl rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "What am I doing here, Grandma? I feel like I have been asleep for a very long time."

"Yes, Beryl, you have slept for a long time. Your dad and I thought you were sick and wanted to take you to the doctor," my mother explained somewhat honestly.

Beryl nodded, but she didn't fully grasp what my mother was saying. She didn't say anything more and simply rested her head on my mother's shoulder, seeming completely tuckered out.
