The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1082

Adela's POV:

I had come to the imperial palace at this time because I'd happened to hear from my father and brother that the lycan king was going to hold a ball and choose a girl to marry. At first, my father had no intentions of taking me to the palace, because I was only eighteen. He believed that I didn't need to get married at such a young age. I had begged him until he finally agreed to bring me with him to the palace.

Now, it seemed that I'd made the right decision. If I hadn't insisted on coming, another she-wolf would have become Rufus' mate. This thought distressed me. Fortunately, I'd come here in time.

If my father heard that I had become the lycan king's mate, he would definitely be proud of me, and my sisters might even try to curry favor with me. I would have to figure out how to refuse them. Since I was going to become the queen, I had no need to socialize with those snobbish people from my past.

But I had heard that Rufus used to have a partner years back. However, I didn't have a crush on him at that time, so I hadn't paid attention to his mate. When I considered this now, I felt a twinge of jealousy. I didn't know if Rufus was as distant from that mate as he was from me. He must have treated her very nicely though. Why else would he build a rose manor that spanned over an entire mountain for that mate? Although, that construction was never completed. That she-wolf had betrayed the empire and attempted to assassinate the old lycan king and Rufus. She had been executed, and the entire country was not permitted to utter her name ever again.

That she-wolf indeed had a legendary reputation. She not only undid the injustice her mother had faced, but also made an enormous contribution to the army. If she was still alive, she might have married Rufus and bore him several children. I really couldn't understand why she had tried to assassinate the two most powerful werewolves of the kingdom.
