Adela's POV:
I had come to the imperial palace at this time because I'd happened to hear from my father and brother that the lycan king was going to hold a ball and choose a girl to marry. At first, my father had no intentions of taking me to the palace, because I was only eighteen. He believed that I didn't need to get married at such a young age. I had begged him until he finally agreed to bring me with him to the palace. Now, it seemed that I'd made the right decision. If I hadn't insisted on coming, another she-wolf would have become Rufus' mate. This thought distressed me. Fortunately, I'd come here in time.
If my father heard that I had become the lycan king's mate, he would definitely be proud of me, and my sisters might even try to curry favor with me. I would have to figure out how to refuse them. Since I was going to become the queen, I had no need to socialize with those snobbish people from my past.

But I had heard that Rufus used to have a partner years back. However, I didn't have a crush on him at that time, so I hadn't paid attention to his mate. When I considered this now, I felt a twinge of jealousy. I didn't know if Rufus was as distant from that mate as he was from me. He must have treated her very nicely though. Why else would he build a rose manor that spanned over an entire mountain for that mate? Although, that construction was never completed. That she-wolf had betrayed the empire and attempted to assassinate the old lycan king and Rufus. She had been executed, and the entire country was not permitted to utter her name ever again.
That she-wolf indeed had a legendary reputation. She not only undid the injustice her mother had faced, but also made an enormous contribution to the army. If she was still alive, she might have married Rufus and bore him several children. I really couldn't understand why she had tried to assassinate the two most powerful werewolves of the kingdom.
Fortunately, she had been a moron and left Rufus, or I wouldn't have got this opportunity.
I curled my lips and inevitably felt a little deflated. That woman must have been Rufus' unforgettable love. Otherwise, he would have had another she-wolf by his side since all this had happened so many years ago. If it weren't for this little incidence, the thought of finding a new mate probably wouldn't even have crossed his mind. The ball that had been held for choosing a queen had been totally pointless. Rufus hadn't even spared us girls a glance. On that day, I'd been a part of the crowd, longing for one look from him, but he walked out after the first dance and I didn't get an opportunity to get close to him. As my mind flashed back to that day, I was so annoyed that I grabbed the flowers growing beside the swing and ripped away the petals one by one. I didn't know what kind of fruit this plant would bear. The flowers were white with speckles of green, which I wasn't really fond of. I decided to just ask someone to tear them all out and plant some violets later.

After I finished destroying the flowers, my mood finally improved. Forget it. That she-wolf was long dead anyway. She was just Rufus' past and had no significance m anymore was Rufus' future after all. What was more, luck was already on my side. I encountered a she-wolf who was willing to help me after I entered the palace. Although she was a loner and weird, always wearing a gray hat that shielded her face from others' sight, without her help, I wouldn't have been able to get a
place beside Rufus so easily. The

As this thought ran through my mind,
I abruptly recalled the questions Rufus had asked me and my
stomach churned
om
churned uneasily. Rufus
had inferred that there had to be
another person who had helped them
last night. Knowing his character, I
was certain he would conduct discreet inquiries. If he discovered this person, I might be in real trouble.
