The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1036

Crystal's POV:

I turned around and studied the bush, but the sound disappeared.

"Forget it. I'm leaving." I pretended to walk away, and heard something move again nearby.

After going back and forth like that for a couple of times, I was more certain that Rin was secretly observing from somewhere close by, but she was probably hurt and didn't want to come out to meet me.

As expected, she wanted me to cajole her further.

I was amused. I quietly made my way closer to her and praised her, "I heard that a powerful wolf lives in the forbidden forest. I don't know if I will get lucky enough to see her today. I've also been told that the wolf is not just good at fighting, but is also very cute. She is the best wild wolf."

At this moment, there was another rustling sound from near the bush. This time, I knew it came from behind the tree.

I pressed my lips together and smiled to myself. Then I continued complimenting her loudly. Suddenly a huge bushy tail flicked out from behind the tree and swished in the air, looking as naughty as its owner.

"Rin, come out." I slowly walked closer to the big tree.

When Rin saw that I was about to reach her, she scurried away, refusing to see me.

After considering it for a while, I stopped and didn't move forward. The fluffy tail approached me again.

I sniffled and held back my tears, trying to get my emotions under control.

At this moment, I finally spotted a big furry wolf running toward me and jumping into my arms.

I clutched her face and sobbed with joy. "Rin, you're finally willing to see me. I'm sorry. I should have come to visit you earlier."

Rin sobbed in my arms, also seeming to be affected by my emotions. She placed her tail on my arm and thumped it gently, as if she was trying to comfort me.

Warmth spread in my chest as I stroked her cheek and whispered, "How have you been these past five years? The wolf pup you left in my care back then has grown up well. I didn't fail you."
