Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 1295
Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Rufusâ POV:
After I left Murray alone with Grystal, instead of leaving the palace, I waited at the door.
I felt a little uneasy. How come Murray couldnât let me know his plan?
We had known leach other for many years, so we never beat around the bush and always went straight to business. But for some reason, this time around he asked me to stay out.
My intuition told me that something was wrong.
I tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, but the door seemed to have been sealed by magic because I couldnât hear a thing.
1 paced back and forth along the corridor, feeling extremely uneasy and irritable.
Damn it! If I had known this would happen, I wouldâve learned witchcraft.
Maybe it wouldâve come in useful now.
âGive up, Rufus. Youâre not a wizard,â my wolf, Omar, said coldly.
I snorted. I was stubborn by nature, and the unyielding spirit in my heart was aroused. âHow would I know if I donât try? Iâm a fast learner. I could easily memorize those spells.â
âWake up, Rufus! Youâre the lycan king! If werewolves could learn witchcraft so easily, the wizards and witches wouldâve gone extinct a long time ago. Donât forget that the power of your body conflicts with the power of the witches and wizards. Trying to learn witchcraft will just hurt you.â
It took Omar a great deal of effort to convince me that I was being stupid Iran my fingers through my hair in distress. What was taking Crystal and Murray so long? Why hadnât they come out yet?
Just as I raised my knuckles to knock on the door, it was suddenly opened from the inside.
When my eyes met Crystalâs, I saw nothing but gloom and desolation in them.
Standing behind her was a smiling Murray, as if nothing had happened.
âSo what happened? What did you two talk about?â I had a bad feeling about this, soâ I asked Murray with a frown.
Murray smiled at me awkwardly and walked past Crystal hastily. âDonât ask me! Ask your wife.â
Then he ran down the corridor as fast as he could, disappearing around the corner.
I didnât have the time to run after him, so I turned to look at Crystal and took her hand. âSweetie, does that old geezer have a solution?â
Crystal slowly raised her head to look at me with her bright eyes. At this moment, they shone with tears, and her voice was thick with emotion.
âMurray⦠He said that the only way to get rid of Noreen is to kill Beryl.â My heart sank. I refused to accept this. But I put my messy emotions aside and comforted Crystal. âDonât listen to his nonsense. Heâs not that good a wizard.â
Crystal pursed her lips tightly and didnât say anything more. It was very
obvious that she was depressed.
Seeing her like this made my heart ache. âDonât worry. Iâll seek counsel from other wizards. Weâll find a way, honey. Beryl will be safe and sound, and weâll finally be a happy family of four.â
Beryl was my child, too. As her father, it was my responsibility to protect her.
And as Crystalâs mate, I never wanted her to shed tears again.
There had to be another way to deal with Noreen. After all, Noreen wasnât a god; she was still mortal and afraid of death.
âWe can only lock Beryl up for now. The guards will keep an eye on her all the time.â
Crystal nodded dejectedly. âI want to see her. I donât know if the sleep spell I cast on her is still working.â
âWhen Murray went to see Beryl earlier, he cast an even stronger spell on her. Donât worry.â Seeing Crystal so haggard made me feel bad. I pulled her into a warm embrace and said softly into her hair, âIâm right here, baby. Iâll protect you and the kids, I promise. I wonât let any of you get hurt.â
Crystal rested her head on my chest and said softly, âRufus, Iâm tired. Can we go back to our room? I want to get some rest.â I lowered my head, kissed her forehead, and gently scooped her into my arms.
âOkay, Iâll take ou back to our room
