The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 942

Crystal's POV:

Time sped by and soon enough it was time for the military parade. I woke up at the crack of dawn to get ready.

I looked at Arron who was still sleeping and walked over to his side. I bent over, stroked his head, and planted a kiss on his forehead. Although Arron had to keep his bandages on at all times, he was generally enjoying his time at the imperial palace.

After setting the table and getting everything in order, I headed down to the city center to wait for the opening of the parade.

This year, more people came to the celebration. After Rufus took over the throne, the werewolves reclaimed a number of packs that had been under the authority of vampires. In addition, this was the first grand celebration since Rufus became king, so all the Alphas and royal aristocrats of the empire came.

As I joined the group of Alphas, I watched them exchange pleasantries and mingle. Most of these Alphas were already friends with each other, having been connected with interests or marriage relationships. Lots of them disdained the border packs. So of course, my presence was disregarded. But I didn't care at all. I was happy to be ignored, otherwise I would have to find an excuse to disguise myself. I adjusted my white hat and moved to the most inconspicuous spot, trying not to make a sound.

Warren acted just like me. And it wasn't because no one paid him any attention; he just didn't like attending social engagements and dealing with the hypocrites. He stood not far away from me, with a cold face, and didn't intend to socialize as usual.

Some of the Alphas went to talk to him. Even though he was nice, Warren didn't seem very friendly. And after some of them noticed his implicit hostility, they gradually left him alone. Fortunately, Warren brought his subordinates here, who stood around him to ease the embarrassment.
