Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 1085

Lucy’s POV:

I walked out of the room, making sure to lock the door behind me. As soon as I exited the corridor, I was greeted by the sight of Adela. Her face was all scrunched up in her anxious musings.

I shot her a glare, but she didn’t seem to notice me. She was so deep in thought that she eventually ran right into me.

That only irritated me even more. If I could find someone else, I wouldn’t bother working with this brainless idiot.

Adela’s eyes lit up when she finally saw me. “I thought you weren’t here!” she exclaimed.

I felt my scowl deepen. “I’ve told you time and time again not to come to me unless it’s urgent! Don’t you realize how easy it is to expose both of us if you keep coming here like this?”

I could tell that Adela wasn’t taking my words seriously. She just beamed at me and practically skipped to my side, taking my hands in hers. “I’m here to share some good news with you.”

“What is it?” I didn’t want to waste time exchanging nonsense with her. I pulled away in disgust, and then walked past her to get a glassof water.

Adela was still smiling, seemingly unfazed by my obvious animosity. “Thanks to the instructions you gave me, I was able to save Rufus from grave danger. He has since promised to marry me as his new mate.”

I curled my lips in disdain. “Really? You, saved Rufus?”

Adela simply pursed her lips and tilted her head as if she hadn’t had a care in the world. “The details don’t matter, as long as the desired result is met. Rufus even told Laura that our wedding will be held to the highest standard. Soon, I will be the queen, the most honorable she-wolf in the kingdom.”

I sneered and rolled my eyes. “If that is the case, then you should be happily spending your time with Rufus instead of wasting my time.”

Sure enough, Adela’s face froze, and a look of horror flashed in her eyes. “That’s right, you have a point there.”

I couldn’t help but snort derisively. “Tell me, then. What is the problem?”

Adela seemed to consider her words carefully before speaking. “The one who actually saved Rufus… I think that it’s his former mate.”

She paused and nervously fiddled with her hands. “But I don’t know why she left before he woke up. I arrived at the perfect moment and grabbed the opportunity to pretend I was Rufus’ savior. I was so excited that time that I didn’t even think about anything else. It wasn’t until I overheard a conversation between Laura and the doctor later that I found out the only reason Rufus was recovered from his serious injuries so soon was because the help of his mate. Luckily, Rufus automatically assumed that I was his mate. Otherwise, our plans would have fallen apart.”

Adela’s words shocked me to the c*ore. Rufus’ mate? Did she mean Sylvia? But Sylvia had been executed for treason five years ago! How could she suddenly reappear out of the blue?

I could feel my face twist in angry confusion. “There’s no way!” I screamed at Adela. “That she- wolf has been long dead!”

“Well,” Adela said nervously, “then is it possible that it was his real second mate?”

I had no answer to that. My thoughts were racing. If it had really been Rufus’ new mate, she would never have left him, unless she was hiding something.

More to the point, there was only one person who would jump over a cliff without hesitation to save Rufus.

That meant that Sylvia had deceived everyone, pretending to be dead all this time!

I felt uneasy at the prospect of Sylvia returning to the capital. She knew far too much for my comfort. She might even reveal the fact that Firman was not a true member of the royal family.

I whirled around and directed my ire at Adela. “The potion I gave you might have Rufus mistake you for his mate, but it will only last for a month. You must make him fall in love with you as soon as possible.

That’s your only hope of escaping punishment once he learns of the truth. Otherwise, there is nothing I can do to help you once the effects of the potion fade.”
