The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1049

Rufus' POV:

After putting Beryl to sleep, I left her room and went downstairs. I swept my eyes around the living room, but didn't spot the she-wolf I was seeking.

"Who are you looking for? Crystal left." My mother was sitting at the table and leisurely sipping her coffee.

"I'm stepping out for a while." After saying that, I quickly marched out of the lycan king's palace.

My mind flashed back to seeing Crystal sneaking around the forbidden forest today, and I had no clue about what she was doing there. So I would have to go to the forest again.

We passed the City Hall and then the Royal Military School, but I kept walking forward.

My bodyguard kept pace with me and asked, "Your Majesty, are we going the wrong way? This path leads to the forbidden forest."

"That's our destination. I need to confirm something," I replied.

Crystal must have done some unknown deed in the forbidden forest. I quickened my steps and reached the entrance. The sun had already set. Except for a few lamps at the entrance of the forbidden forest, everything else was pitch-black.

I turned on the torch on my phone and entered the forbidden forest. A faint stench of death came from afar, pulling me into the forest. My spirits lifted and I focused on finding its source.

I gazed at the ground in front of me, lost in deep thought. I was ill when my mother had killed Noreen, so I knew nothing about how she had done it. Besides, when she brought it up later, she was very casual about it and there was hardly any detail. That was the reason I didn't pay any attention to it, nor did I bring up this topic again.

Things didn't look as simple as I thought they were anymore, because Crystal was definitely involved.

She wouldn't have come here if she had simply lost her way. She must have some connection to this witch.

My mind was buzzing with doubts. I bent down a little to touch the ground, and my fingers were immediately stung. I quickly pulled my hand back, and my expression changed. It looked like a witch had put a spell over this land. It must be Crystal.
