Chapter 1083 Potion


    Ad''s POV.


    Last night, I had watched the battle between Rufus and the vampires from a hiding spot by the rocks on the edge of the cliff. It was very fierce and


    intense.


    I had stayed put where I was, afraid that I might identally get injured if I came any closer. I didn''t dare to make a sound or a single move, until I


    saw Rufus falling off the cliff.


    I remember freezing when I saw that, and I had struggled to swallow the scream that rose in my throat. I had no idea what to do.


    Rufus, the strongest werewolf in the kingdom, had fallen in the hands of the vampires. Even if I had rushed in to save him, I was powerless against


    the vampires. I had never trained a single day in my life, and the vampires would probably kill me in the blink of an eye.


    Then, just when I thought I was going to lose my mind, I spotted a nimble she-wolf leap over the cliff and disappear among the bushes below.


    That had only made me hesitate more. I was itching to head down and see what was going on, but I was too scared toe out of my hiding ce


    In the end, I stayed where I was.


    It wasn''t until all the vampires had been defeated by the rest of Rufus’ men that I was able to muster the courage to step out into the bloody


    battlefield.


    It had taken me a long time to make my way down the cliff. It wasn''t an easy path to begin with, and I already had a slight night blindness to deal with.


    The only thing I could rely on was the faint glow from my phone''s screen. I remember stumbling several times and scraping my arms and knees.


    Cn my way, I had almost roused a bear from its sleep, and I had to make another detour on my trek. Fortunately, I had been able to reach Rufus just


    before dawn


    He was curled up by himself inside a cave, his face mottled with pain. He had fainted, and was clearly in a terrible condition.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    There had been no one else with him, no trace of the she-wolf except for the clothes she had left behind. I hadn''t the foggiest clue what could have


    happened between them, but I recognized the great opportunity that had fallen en myp. I remember being so excited by the prospect that my hands


    were shaking


    I had taken my clothes off as fast as I could, tied them to a rock, and threw it into theke. Then, I took out the potion I had carried with me this whole


    time and held it up under Rufus nose to let him sniff it into his system. The potion was designed to make him mistake me for his mate. Its effects


    wouldst for a month, which might not sound long, but it was enough time for me toplete the rest of my n.


    I made sure that Rufus took several


    whiffs of thesubstance before I


    went back.1 theke. I filled the viat


    to the brim with water, and then I let it


    sink imo theke, much like my.


    clothes. And then, all that was left


    forme to dowastoliein his arms.


    Everything had gone so smoothly, as if the Moon Goddess herself was helping me.


    After a while, Rufus stirred in my embrace and started to open his eyes.


    I remember how I tried my best to steady my breaths. I was so nervous, and scared that my thundering heart would expose my lie.


    But the moment Rufus'' gorgeous eyes met mine, I forgot everything else. I could risk anything if it meant that I could be with him.


    But Rufus was immediately hostile toward me.


    I had prepared myself for this, of


    course. Ife had been the type to”


    pounce-on me at first sight like most


    other {echerous werewolves, I


    wouldn''t have concocted such an


    borate n.


    id


    And so, I proceeded to gently exin how I had saved him.


    Rufus had shown no emotion as he listened, though he did eventually take me back to the imperial pce without a second thought.


    He had been so calm about me


    being his mate;-so much so that I


    started to think he didn''t care for his


    mate at alt. Or was itjustmehe >


    didn''t care for? I, on the other harid,


    had bgen on the edge since hewoke


    up. keouldn''t shake off the suspicion


    that he had somehow learned of the


    trith, and was only going-along with


    my acting to bait me for a greater


    punishment.


    As if to make matters moreplicated, Rufus * wounds had indeed been cured.


    Could that she-wolf framst night be his former mate? Wasn''t she supposed to have died a long time ago?


    The more I thought about it, the more confused I was. What was going on? Had Rufus’ mate faked her death?


    I was desperate for the answer and I knew I needed to ask that person!
