The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 960

Crystal's POV:

Rufus' words made my heart beat violently, like a withered tree in a desert suddenly being watered by rain. I felt a mixture of happiness and worry. Rain never lasted long, and I also knew that anything I discarded would be lost forever.

"Have you ever felt that you have lost your memory fragments? When you meet someone or see something, have you felt an instant sense of familiarity that you couldn't explain?" Rufus looked at me calmly. His question made me feel nervous despite the friendly tone of our conversation.

"Why made you say that? You lost your memory?" I asked while staring directly into Rufus' eyes, afraid of reading a doubt there.

Rufus blinked and smiled. There was no confusion in his eyes, and he looked more certain.

"No. My memory has always been very consistent and clear since I was a child. Maybe those familiar scenes have appeared in my dreams before. Sometimes I am just too tired to distinguish dream from reality."

I breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then that should be your illusion, Your Majesty. Please take care of yourself and have enough rest. Don't overwork yourself."

Rufus' eyebrows shot up in surprise. "I had no idea you had such a soft side. I thought you never take me seriously."

"How dare I do that? You are always the greatest and most valiant king in my heart." I complimented him while I rubbed behind my ear. Even though I had been an Alpha for a while and had learned social graces, I was still uncomfortable giving public praise, especially to a man who perceived me as an imaginary enemy. Forgot it. It was always right to be nice to others. I could not bear to be one of Rufus' enemies, especially now that Beryl was staying with him.
