Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Crystal’s POV:

“How did you know [was lying to you?” I asked Rufus in a low voice.

Instead of answering me, Rufus only looked away.

Then hushed g****s sounded. I followed Rufus’ gaze to see Murray tied up in the corner, his mouth covered.

I was now more disconcerted than ever. Perhaps Rufus had known everything all along and had only been testing me since then. it had been a waste of effort for me to continue with my little ruse.

“Untie him,” Rufus ordered coldly. The guard who was standing by the door followed what he was ordered to do.

Murray spat out the cloth stuffed in his mouth. He did not even bother putting on his hood, leaving his white hair tied into two small braids revealed.

‘Crystal, I’m sorry. I had a hunch and ran away early. But your mate had already set up traps all around the palace, waiting to catch me,” Murray growled while throwing two pieces of black candy into his mouth.

I froze in my spot, words failing to escape from my lips. It was clear how Rufus had been wary of me even before I talked to Murray.

“So you never planned to believe me from the beginning?” I looked at Rufus in disbelief, my chest heavy with discomfort.

If that was indeed the case, then Rufus was a natural in acting! He was incredibly cunning. He had never shown any trace of dissatisfaction with me before.

And now the truth was revealed.

I was too complacent to think he would lower his guard a little after losing his memory. But I was wrong. It turned out that he was even more vigilant than before.

Rufus stood in front of the bed with his hands tucked in his pockets. He was calmly smiling at me. “Actually, I should commend you for making progress You’re really good at trying to fool me, and I almost believed you

“When did you find out I was lying?” I barked.

“You’ve done something similar before, so it shouldn’t really come as a wonder if I never believed you from the beginning.” Rufus looked at me as if he was appreciating a piece of art. “Indeed, the more beautiful the she-wolf, the less trustworthy she is.”

His remark was the last straw and I snapped and glared at him. “You fooled me.”

“How can you say that? I was just protecting you in my own way,

‘ Rufus said lightly.

“You fooled me! You just want to see me humiliated. Are you happy now?” The more I talked, the more aggrieved I became. I felt horrified at the thought of the scene where I had tried to deceive him. He had already figured out the truth, and all that while, I had still been acting.

Rufus sighed and used his fingertips to wipe away the tears from my eyes. He patiently coaxed me. “Babe, don’t cry.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Unless you unshackle this thing from me.” I moved my limbs, and the sound of metal chains clanging resonated.

No. I need you to stay here,

” Rufus said coldly. One moment he was gentle,

then the next he was as frigid as the ice.

I was furious and tried to transform into a wolf to escape. To my wonder, I could not use my power at all.

“Rufus, what did you do to me?”

I tried my best to mobilize the power in my body and madly called for Yana in my mind, but nothing happened. I tried once again, and failed for the second time. In my struggle, I realized that these shackles were specifically designed to prevent werewolves from transforming.

“Murray! Did you do this? Undo it!”

Murray hurriedly waved his hands. “It was the lycan king who forced me to do it.
