The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 1151 Arron Is With The Trafficker

Crystal's POV:

I got in Rufus' car and it drove slowly away from the imperial palace. I felt strange and uneasy, so I frequently turned my head to look at Rufus who was resting with his eyes closed.

Rufus seemed to have noticed my gaze, so he rubbed my hair. He had behaved intimately towards me like this more than once in the past two days.

There were questions on my mind, but I kept quiet. The thought of my son sprang to mind.

Rufus opened his eyes, glanced at me, and said, "The groom confessed that he had secretly hidden Arron in a garbage truck and transferred him out of the imperial palace before it was locked down." The person behind this obviously wanted him to kill Arron. But, the man's greed led him to discreetly make contact with a human trafficker. He was hoping to make a quick buck by selling Arron."

My stomach dropped again when I learned about the human trafficker. I had hoped that the groom's confession meant my son was out of harm's way, but instead my baby boy had fallen into the hands of a human trafficker.

"Then, we have to hurry up. Human traffickers are usually very cautious. They'll probably use a bunch of go-betweens to make the deal. If we are late, we might not find Arron at all." Anxious, I reached for Rufus' sleeves absentmindedly.

Rufus sat up straight, held on to my trembling shoulders and reassuringly remarked, "Don't worry. I've sent my soldiers to the base of the traffickers. Arron should be safe now."

After saying that, he paused and looked at me seriously. "I think you will want to bring Arron back in person, and that's why I'm taking you with me."

I really appreciated Rufus. I knew that I shouldn't have made such a big scene at Lucy's place. And he must have heard of it, so he came to prevent me from making any more mistakes.

If Rufus didn't come today, Lucy would probably have been dead. It would be too late to make up for it.

"Thank you, Rufus. I would probably never find Arron if it weren't for you."

Many werewolf children went

missing or were abducted every

year, and only a small fraction.

Of

them were found back. If it weren't for Rufus', perhaps Arron would be one of those lost kids.

Hearing my gratitude, Rufus leaned back in his seat and said in a lazy and elegant manner, "Don't say that now. When we get Arron back, still have a lot of scores to settle with yout."

I didn't retort and instead stammered, "As long as Arron comes back safely, I will do anything. I will answer for all the reckless things I have done." Rufus snorted and closed his eyes again.

Looking at his handsome face, I suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does Laura know that Arron is in the hands of human traffickers? Do we need to tell her?"

When Arron had gone missing, Laura grew very anxious that her blood pressure had risen again.

Rufus coughed and said in a hoarse voice, "I've told her already. Don't worry about it."

Rufus didn't look good. I figured it might be because of his wound, so I was worried. "You don't look well.

Did you catch a cold or have a headache? Do you need me to massage your head?"

Rufus coughed again and teased, "It's rare to see you care about me so much. Don't worry. I just haven't

had a good rest the past few days. You won't have to worry about me, Alpha Crystal."

I laughed awkwardly, realizing that I was being reckless. I had treated Rufus as my lover five years ago without realizing it.

A long silence then filled the car. Fortunately, we arrived at the destination soon.
