The Ruthless Lycan King Fell For His Slave Mate novel Chapter 63

Early the next morning, Crystal was roused by her maidservant who informed her that royal guards had stormed the villa. When she went to see them, the guards delivered a royal edict announcing the annulling of the engagement and ordering her to pack up and leave the palace as soon as possible.

Stomping forward, she grabbed the document and looked at it, as if doubting the guard's words. Scoffing, she ripped the paper into pieces and started towards the door. “This is bullshit. I'll see the king myself!”

Two of the guards stood in her way, blocking her path to the door. “The king has ordered that you are not allowed to go anywhere. Our orders are to watch you pack and escort you out of the palace.”

“Get out of my way,” Crystal snapped, paying no heed to their words. “I am not the kind of person you can treat like this. I demand to see the king right away!”

“If you insist,” the guards said, “we'll have to force you to leave without your stuff.”

Crystal could see more guards stationed outside the villa, and she knew they meant every word. How could Julian do this to her? Did he forget that she was the daughter of Alpha Black? Where did he get the nerve to annul the engagement out of nowhere and then throw her out of the palace like a common thief?

“You’ve all gone crazy,” she yelled, turning away from the guards. “This kingdom has become a joke. Wait until I get back home. Don't think my pack will just let this go!”

Seeing a vase near her, she grabbed it and threw it towards the guards. She nearly hit one of them, but he stepped aside quickly.

“I'll make you pay,” she snarled, pointing at them. “I am Crystal Black. No one treats me like this and gets away with it. You are all making a mistake and you'll be sorry!”

Shortly after Crystal left the palace, rumours sprung all over the kingdom about the Lycan King's cancelled engagement to the daughter of the Alpha of the Blacksword Pack. Before long, everybody knew that Julian had chosen another female over Crystal Black.

“How can he insult such a powerful pack for a nobody?” One of the palace maids asked as a group of servants worked in the kitchen one morning. “I knew there was something about her as soon as she showed up here!”

“I knew something was up when he changed the laws,” another one added. “She seduced him and bewitched him! Why else would he choose her over Crystal Black? Alphas all over the kingdom would kill to get Crystal's hand in marriage!”

All over the kingdom, werewolves were questioning the wisdom of the Lycan King's decision.

“His lover has no background, no power. What does she bring to the table? We have been cursed with a foolish king. Our enemies will think we are an easy pick!”
