Chapter 583 - Saving Her Cursed Lycan Prince

It seemed like once a person lost their memory, even their character underwent a significant transformation.

And he moved so quickly. I was unable to defeat him five years ago. Half a decade later, his strength had increased drastically. If he wanted to test me, how could I match up to him as his opponent?

The more I considered this, the angrier I became. But I had to clench my jaw and accept his criticism. “I’m sorry. I just had a long journey. I’m tired and my reflexes were slow.”

“That’s just an excuse. Can you claim to be tired when you’re marching on the battlefield?” Rufus snapped frostily.

I kept my mouth shut. I was worried that if I kept talking, I would annoy this man even more.

Rufus scoffed coldly and gave me a lecture on some basics about being an Alpha. He also instructed me to go to the training ground while I was here.

When I heard this, I nearly blacked out. I, as a dignified Alpha, would have to undergo training with the rookies of the military school?

It wasn’t really about if I was made a laughing stock or not. This was about Rufus. What angered me was that his attitude was so horrible!

While I was contemplating how to refuse him, my subordinate rushed in, his face shining with panic. When he spotted Rufus, he was nonplussed and stopped.

Rufus shot me a final look and left after telling me to rest well.

Once he was gone, both my man and I sagged with relief.

If he had continued to stay here, I was afraid I would have lost my self-control and fought him.

I pinned my gaze to my subordinate and asked, “Why are you so agitated?”

He answered, “Beryl and Arron are missing!”

“What?” I was shocked and thought I’d heard it wrong.

“As soon as our convoy left, both the kids disappeared from the camp. The people from the camp tried to call you, but they couldn’t get in touch. They had no choice but to keep calling around till they finally got a hold of us,” my subordinate blurted out anxiously.

Crystal’s POV

At that moment, my heart stopped beating in my chest.

The news almost knocked me out on the spot.

With trembling hands, I picked up my phone clumsily. I couldn’t even turn on my phone because my fingers were shaking. When I finally managed to turn the device on, I found that there was no signal. I was so anxious that I wanted to smash the phone on impulse, but soon, I heard a series of beeps from the phone, indicating that its signal had returned to normal.

I quickly unlocked the phone and many missed call notifications popped up.

At this time, I found that my phone was full of power. But I thought my phone was dead. It certainly didn’t look like it that it was fully charged in just a few minutes, so why was my phone turned off in the first place?

Without thinking too much, I called back.

Soon, the call was connected, and an anxious voice came from the other end of the line. It was the school director.

“Alpha! Finally! I’ve been trying to call you for hours! Beryl and Arron snuck out. We checked the surveillance footage, and it turned out the two kids secretly got in a van that went to the market. At the market, they joined a caravan of gem traders.”

My heart tightened in my chest. “Have you found out where the caravan went?”

“Not yet, but we’ve sent people to look into it.”

“Inform me as soon as you get any news.”

I hung up the phone feeling somewhat relieved. Fortunately, the kids hadn’t been kidnapped.

But thinking about how the two kids had managed to sneak out of camp, I felt angry, helpless, and mostly anxious.

“The gem traders in that market are mostly from the Silver Moon Pack and the imperial capital. Perhaps the merchants were headed back to the imperial capital, and the two kids ran away because they wanted to find you,” my subordinate mused.

I listened to his analysis quietly. It made sense. But how did the two kids know that I was in the imperial capital in the first place? Besides, they looked so excited to go camping. I never suspected that they were scheming to sneak out to find me.

“Check all caravans that have been traveling between the imperial capital and the border,” I ordered with a grim expression.

Soon, my subordinate came back with answers. As expected, this group of merchants in particular had come from the imperial capital to purchase gemstones from the border pack.

I asked my man to track the plate number of their caravan. They should’ve arrived at imperial capital at about the same time as I did, or even earlier.

But why hadn’t I heard anything from the two kids yet?

I checked the time. It was already eleven o’clock in the evening. Something must’ve happened if the caravan hadn’t arrived yet.

I tried calling the two kids, but neither of them answered.

They both had smart watches that they always wore, and they always answered when I called…

Unless something happened!

At the thought of this, I could feel my soul leaving my body. My heart pounded against my chest. It was difficult for me to calm down.

I didn’t dare to entertain the thought, but I couldn’t just stand by. I grabbed my mask and phone and rushed out.

It was past curfew in the imperial palace. No one was allowed to come in and out freely.

I had to get permission from the lycan king or the Ministry of Defense in advance to leave the palace this late at night. For the first time since I got here, I had felt that living in the imperial palace was so inconvenient.

I was burning with anxiety, but I had no choice. I had come to the capital in such a hurry that many procedures had not been completed.

It was a new shift of guards. Although they all knew that I was an Alpha, I still couldn’t go out without a pass. It seemed that they wouldn’t be as easy-going as the guard I had met earlier.

When I was at a loss and was about to turn to Laura for help, I saw a tall man walking towards me from a distance, carrying many bags of food.

It was Warren.

He took out the pass from his pocket and was about to show it over to the guard, but I snatched it from him without thinking.
