Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1054 Daddy Abandoned Me
Crystal’s POV:
“Is Rufus aware of this?” I asked.
Blair sighed. “He already knows. I’m guessing that he will take action soon. I’m afraid there won’t be any peace to speak of in the coming days. You must be vigilant while you’re in the imperial capital. You’ve been the Alpha of the border pack for five years, and the vampires hold a lot of grudges against you. Some of them might even be very familiar with your ident*ity. If you’re not careful, you might get exposed to Rufus.”
“All right, I understand. I promise to be more careful.”
After ending the call, I walked back to look for my son. He was squatting on a patch of gr@ssand playing with mud.
I called out his name, and Arron scampered toward me and clutched my hand. “Where have you been, Mommy? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” I bent over and picked him up. “Mommy had to take a call. Let’s head back, shall we? Mommy will make you some cookies.”
“Okay!”
The next day, I had breakfast with my son and prepared to go to the kindergarten alone. Arron knew that Beryl was also at the school, and he made no effort to hide his envy. He followed close behind me as I went around the house and packed my things.
I held him close, trying to brush off the guilt that pierced my heart. “I’m so sorry, Baby. I can’t take you to the kindergarten for the time being. Just give Mommy a few days, okay? Once I get rid of the problems, I’ll take you to see your sister.”
Arron was clever enough not to ask me what I meant. He simply nodded in complete faith. “Okay, Mommy. Don’t worry, I’ll be good and wait for you here. You can go by yourself.”
I caressed his chubby little face. “Listen, sweetheart. If you feel sad or bored, you can ask Uncle Harm to take you to see Grandma.”
Harm was my subordinate. He had often played with Arron back when we were in the border pack.
“Okay, Mommy. Hurry up, or you’ll be late.” Arron pushed me to the door with his stubby little arms.
I glanced at my watch, hurriedly gathered my purse and headed out.
When I arrived at the school, I had to take a moment to calm my anxiety and before walking into the cla*s*sroom. Today was my first day, and I was a little nervous.
Fortunately, I only had ten students in my cla*s*s, so it wasn’t too tiring. They were very obedient and well-behaved, too, which was a bonus.
During the break, I found Beryl sitting alone at her desk and looking out the window with a melancholy expression. While the other children happily played together, she kept to herself, seemingly scared and listless.
I walked around the teacher’s table and approached my daughter. “Hey there, Baby Beryl. Is anything wrong? I get the feeling that you are unhappy about something.”
The little girl turned to look at me, her eyes filled with tears. “I didn’t see Daddy this morning,” she said, sounding aggrieved. “I searched everywhere but didn’t find him. Did he abandon me?”
The sorrowful look on her face tugged at my heartstrings. I couldn’t help but take her into my arms and stroke her hair. “Daddy didn’t abandon you. He would never do something like that. Maybe he’s just busy. I’m sure you will see him when you get back at lunchtime.”
My daughter sn*ake*d her arms around my neck and clung to me. “No, Daddy left the palace. I asked Grandma, but she doesn’t know when he will be back.”
Beryl was choking on her sobs as she spoke.
I was surprised to hear that Rufus had left the imperial palace so suddenly. Then I thought back to my phone call with Blair. Had he gone out to deal with the vampires?
Perhaps.
Without the curse to impede him, Hubson was certainly more dangerous than ever. Moreover, countless vampires were probably already lurking in the imperial city. The thought of Rufus facing a coven all by himself rendered me speechless. If I could, I would have liked to fly out to him and make sure that he was okay.
