Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Crystal’s POV:

I couldn’t believe Murray was shameless enough to just leave me here. Just as he was about to climb out of the window, I gritted my teeth and threatened,

“Leave and I’lI immediately call the soldiers.”

Murray froze in place, his stout leg half in, half out of the window frame. He exhaled loudly, his beard fluttering from his breath.

“You’re such an

unreasonable person,” he whined. “I already told you this is a matter between you and your mate. If you want to get out of this situation, wait until your mate comes back.

Whatever the case might be, I refused to let Murray leave here today without setting me free.

Imitating Rufus’ threatening manner as best as I could, I stared at him coldly and said, “If you dare to leave, I’ll call everyone in and tell them that you took advantage of me while I was chained to the bed.”

Murray’s eyes went ‘as wide as saucers, filled with unmasked rage. He rolled up his sleeves and pointed at me, scolding me in a trembling voice. “You’re so young yet you’re already so shameless. I haven’t laid a finger on you, and your clothes are perfectly intact. You won’t fool anyone!”

I snorted complacently. “As long as Rufus believes me, you’re toast. Despite how outrageous and outlandish my claims are, Rufus is very possessive. He’ll undoubtedly punish you even if you’re ‘innocent.”

Rufus often got jealous when I mentioned other men, let alone if I told him somebody tried to take advantage of me. He’d definitely go crazy with anger at the thought.

When it came to love, even the most rational person would dismiss logic and follow their instincts.

“Lunatic! You’re both lunatics!” Murray gnashed his teeth and cursed. Then he slowly climbed down from the window and begrudgingly stomped towards me.

I was secretly delighted, but on the surface, I pretended to be indifferent. I shook the chains on my hands coldly and demanded, “Unlock them or else I won’t let you leave.”

Murray glared at me reluctantly, hunching his back and standing there like an angry child.

1 couldn’t help but chuckle. In the end, I changed tactics and went for a gentler approach. “Don’t worry. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens. 1 know you don’t want to do this, but threatening you was my last resort. If you set me free, I’ll be very grateful.”

Murray didn’t move, falling into deep thought.

Confused, I repeated myself. “Come on. Rufus won’t blame you. I’ll take the fall.”

“Will you shut up?’ Murray snapped, frowning tightly. “I’m trying to remember the unlocking spell. My memory isn’t what it used to be, you know.” My eyes widened. I couldn’t believe he forgot such an important spell!

What the hell? If you can’t remember the spell, I’ll be stuck with these chains forever!” I was getting anxious. This was too absurd.

“Relax. Rufus has a key.” Murray was very calm, as though he was a bystander watching from the sidelines.

I was speechless. I wouldn’t need him if I could ask Rufus to unlock the chains for me!

Murray probably realized the error in his ways, because he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. “Well, I suppose I can give it a try.” He then started chanting a spell, which was long and unfamiliar to me.

But even after that, the lock didn’t budge.

I didn’t want to distract him, so I waited silently as he tried over and over again.

Finally, just as I was about to lose my mind, I heard the crisp click of the chains unlocking.

Murray wiped the sweat from his forehead and exclaimed, “Thank goodness! I knew I wouldn’t forget such an important spell. It turns out I just mispronounced the last syllable!”

1 didn’t waste time praising him. I quickly put on my jacket and got ready to leave, with Murray trailing behind me muttering, “As soon as I get home, I’lI pack up and leave the capital..”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Just as I climbed out the window, I ran into two soldiers patrolling the area.

I grabbed one by the collar, demanding, “Where is the lycan king?” I needed to know where Rufus was so that I could avoid running into him,
