The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 912

Crystal's POV:

Panic seized me. My first instinct was to hide, but that was dumb. He was here to see me. What was the use of hiding?

Before I could calm down, there was a knock on the door.

I nearly jumped and rushed over to lock the door, but as soon as I turned around, I realized that it was already ajar. Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside.

It was Rufus.

I had to act quickly. I grabbed the mask from the floor and put it on. Although Rufus had lost his memory and couldn't recognize me, I had spread the news that my face had been disfigured and so I couldn't let him see that it wasn't.

As soon as I put on the mask, Rufus pushed the door open and looked at me.

"Sorry. The door was already open, so I thought you weren't here."

This was the first sentence Rufus had said to me in five years. Hearing his familiar, pleasant voice, tears started to roll down my cheeks uncontrollably. I quickly lowered my head so that Rufus wouldn't notice that I was crying.

"There's no need to be ashamed about your appearance. Strength is a priority in the world of werewolves, not beauty." Perhaps Rufus thought that I lowered my head because I was supposedly disfigured and didn't dare to look at him.

Hearing his words somehow put me in a better mood. I raised my head to look at him and smiled. "Your Majesty, you probably don't know she-wolves that well. All she-wolves care a lot about their appearance."

Rufus didn't react. His handsome, expressionless face was as cold as ever.

"In my eyes, there's no difference between ugly and beautiful faces. Ability and strength mean everything to me."

Well, it turned out he was still as indifferent as before.
