The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 20

Rufus' POV:

My father was Ethan Duncan. He was the lycan king who ruled the werewolves.

His hall was located on the other side of the imperial palace. When I stepped into the hall, I saw him sitting upright on his throne, concentrating on the book in his hands.

"Father..." I bowed in front of him.

"You're back." My father put down the book, picked up a handkerchief, covered his mouth, and coughed. "Sit down. You must be tired after the long journey."

"I only did what I have to do." I stood still and looked at my father indifferently.

The hair on his temples had already turned grey. His body still looked strong but slightly hunched. The lycan king, who used to be so powerful, eventually became old like any other werewolf.

My father seemed not to care about my indifferent attitude. He just smiled and stood up. "I asked you to come over today not because of business. We haven't chatted as father and son for a long time."

I didn't respond to him. I could already guess why he was looking for me.

"Do you still have frequent headaches recently?" After saying this, my father poured a cup of tea and drank it to moisten his throat.

"Same as usual," I said lightly. His concern didn't affect me at all.

"I heard that you brought back a she-wolf. Many werewolves saw her when you were at the palace gate. You seemed to be a bit high-profile." My father turned to look at me, then paced to my side. "Rufus, who is that she-wolf?"

"My mate," I answered bluntly. Sure enough, he asked me to come over in such a hurry just to talk about this.

"Nonsense!" What I said made my father's expression immediately change. He threw the teacup in his hand to the floor angrily.
