The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 943

Crystal's POV:

Over the past five years, I was afraid that the past would haunt me, so I deliberately blocked news about my old friends and focused solely on the pack's affairs.

Everyone was doing well before I left, so I didn't worry about them.

Thinking of Warren's obsession with Flora, I guessed that I might have been overthinking.

Warren had said that Flora was the only woman he would marry, so I figured the two wouldn't break up.

I tucked these messy thoughts to the back of my head for the time being and looked into the distance.

The military parade had already begun, and the beautiful floats made their way down the street, one after another. The occasional bursts of firecrackers mingled with the music, making the atmosphere very lively.

I lowered the brim of my hat, trying to block out the dazzling sunlight. Complicated emotions surged in my heart. I recalled the first time I attended the military parade, and how it made me love the empire even more as well as the man who was now in charge of it.

At this moment, I felt as though time hadn't passed at all. I still loved the empire and Rufus, and I just had to love them in a different way.

When I was lost in thought, I overheard two middle-aged Alphas standing next to me whispering to each other. They were badmouthing Warren, who was standing nearby.

I looked over calmly. I didn't know who these two middle-aged men were, but I figured they were Alphas from some small packs.
