Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Crystal’s POV:

As soon as Rufus left, I flipped over in bed. The chains clattered loudly, which pissed me off. I angrily tugged on the chains, wondering what they were made of. They were so strong that I couldn’t make a dent in them.

Two soldiers flanked the door, both sent by Rufus to watch over me.

I lowered my head and racked my brains for a way out of this. Finally, I looked at the two young soldiers and barked, “You two, leave us.”

The two soldiers exchanged wary glances, neither of them moving a muscle.

I knew they’d respond like this, so I put on an unhappy expression and complained, “I just want to get some sleep. I can’t fall asleep knowing you two are standing there, watching me.”

“We won’t make a sound. Just ignore us,” one of the soldiers said in a low voice.

I rubbed my temples, pretending to look helpless. “Alright, but if you end up disturbing my sleep, I’ll complain to Rufus and have you sent to the coal mines.” Their faces immediately changed. “Maybe… Maybe we should leave so that you can get some rest.”

I nodded with satisfaction. They weren’t idiots, and it didn’t take long for me to convince them to leave.

“Would vou like us to take this wizard away, too?” one of the soldiers asked in an effort to get on my good side.

I waved my hand dismissively. “No, just leave him. It’s satisfying to see him tied up here. All you need to do is gag him.”

I pretended to be calm, but deep down, I panicked a little. If they took him away, how could I carry out my plan?

I stared at the two young soldiers, waiting eagerly for them to leave.

They probably knew how much Rufus valued me, so they dared not dilly-dally and gagged Murray’s mouth as instructed.

Murray whimpered and lowered his head, looking extremely humiliated.

I snorted indignantly, as though to tell him that this was his punishment for cooperating with Rufus behind my back.

Finally, after double checking the room, the soldiers left.

As soon as the door was closed behind them, I sat up in bed, crossed my legs leisurely, and looked at Murray.

“How does it feel? It hurts, right?”

Murray stared at me with wide eyes, whimpering loudly, looking like a pitiful dog.

sneered at him coldly. “You should’ve thought twice before betraying me.”

Murray whimpered even louder. He kept shaking his head, as though to say he was forced to do what he did.

I snorted and didn’t waste time with him

I lifted my foot and kicked out a small knife from under the bed sheet, which landed on a cabinet near Murray. It should have landed at his feet.

Coughing awkwardly, I said, “Get the knife. That way, you can cut yourself loose.” Murray was shocked. He stared at me for a few seconds before finally shuffling towards the knife.

It took a lot of effort, but in the end, he managed to cut through his bonds. He immediately took the cloth ball out of his mouth and spat a few times. The first words that came out of his freed mouth were complaints about me. “I can’t believe it! You actually hid a knife under your bed sheet? Weren’t you afraid that Rufus would punish you if he found out?”

“I’m his mate. Why would he punish me for that?” I looked at him as though he was delusional. Rufus would do nothing of the sort. On the contrary, if he found out that I had hidden a knife under the bed sheet out of self-defense, he might even praise me.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Murray snorted indignantly and patted the dust on his robe off.

I didn’t want to waste my breath on him anymore, so I shook the chains loudly and said, “Quick! Help me remove these.

Murray refused without hesitation. “No way! I can’t afford to offend Rufus.” As he spoke, he made his way to the bolted window and tried to pry it open, gloating,

This is none of my business. Solve it yourselves. What would an old

man like me know? You’d better stay here and obey your mate.
