Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 1076

Rufus’ POV:

Through the crack in the door, I spotted Crystal rushing away. For some reason, my chest felt constricted.

I reflexively touched the bandage that covered my wound, thinking that perhaps the pain was a result of my injury.

Mom asked me in a surprised voice, “Get married? Are you sure you want to be so hasty about it?”

Just as I was about to answer affirmatively, the dull pain returned to my chest, and it was even worse than the last time. I felt as if a needle had suddenly been plunged into my wound. So my hand automatically flew to my heart.

I called back the doctor who was getting ready to leave. “Don’t go yet. Come and check if my chest wound is inflamed or something. Why does it keep paining?”

The doctor turned around and asked with a confused expression, “Is the medicine not effective enough?”

Then he removed the gauze and examined my wound. Meanwhile, I turned my attention to my mother and said, “Now that I’m supposed to get married soon, and I have happened to meet the mate designated to me by the Moon Goddess, I think this is my fate. That being said, Adela and I should get married.”

Mom stared at me speechlessly. She looked like she wanted to say something but stopped after giving it a second thought.

The doctor finished examining my wound. “It’s fine. Maybe your sudden movement just now disturbed it.”

I touched my chest again and realized that it didn’t hurt so badly anymore. So I nodded indifferently and asked the doctor to leave.

After pondering for a while, I turned my gaze to Adela, who was standing by the bed, and calmly asked, “Did you hear what I just said? Are you willing to marry me?”

Adela lowered her head shyly and softly replied, “Of course, I am. I’ve been your admirer for a long time.” My mother, who had been quiet for quite a while, abruptly asked Adela, “Since you came to the ball we held the last time, didn’t Rufus and you notice each other as mates?”

Adela paused for a moment, and then replied, “I was unwell that day, so I left before the ball began and His Majesty didn’t get a chance to meet me.”

She wiped her palms on the sides of her dress again. Every time she answered Mom’s or my questions, she got an overcautious and uneasy expression on her face.

And for some reason, her timid tone irked me.

But considering she was my mate and had saved me, I stayed calm and interrupted her conversation with Mom. “Adela, is your b*ody in any discomfort?” Thinking back to the unrestrained s*x I had with her over and over again last night, another apologetic wave of guilt toward her washed over me. Although I didn’t feel the joy and expectation in my heart when I was in her company, as her mate, I would still take care of her till the end. I would protect her, cherish her, and fulfill all her desires.

I repeatedly tried to convince myself that this was the best outcome, but in my mind, a vision of Crystal taking off her mask and smiling at me popped up. Her eyes were bright and clear. Her red lips parted and she said to me, “Idiot!” i

I was so enraged that I wanted to teach her a lesson, but Adela’s voice interrupted my reverie.

It was only then that I realized I had fallen into some kind of hallucination just now. It felt like a memory deep in my brain had shaken loose, or I had just imagined a scene.

I put a hand to my mouth and coughed. Then I looked up at Adela and asked, “What did you say just now?”

In a soft voice, she replied, “I just said that I was fine.”

It suddenly dawned on me that she was answering my question. And then I was bewildered. Was she truly in such good health? How come she didn’t even feel tired after an entire night of wild s*x with me?
