Chapter 1318
Crystal’s POV:
I agreed with Murray’s idea without hesitation. “Let’s do it. Transfer all my witch power to Beryl.” “No.” Rufus resolutely shook his head. He frowned at me and said, “Crystal, I won’t let you take such a risk.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“This is the only way we can save Beryl. Are you really just going to watch her die right in front of us?”
“Crystal, you’re the most important person to me more important than even our children.” As Rufus said this, he grimaced miserably. “I don’t want to lose you again. I can’t shake off the feeling that if you do this, you’ll leave me forever.” Rufus words made me burst into tears. I didn’t want to leave him, but I had no choice.
“Rufus..” I threw my arms around him and sobbed. “Beryl’s dying. She is our daughter. Ican’t watch her die, not if I can save her. Just let me try, okay? What if I survive? I don’t want to regret anything in the future.”
Rufus held me tightly in his arms. He didn’t say anything, but I felt his tears land on my neck like burning acid.
“I’m sorry, Rufus. Just let me be stubborn one last time.”
Rufus still didn’t respond. Murray’s urgent voice pulled us back to reality. “We need to hurry. Beryl won’t last much longer.”
1 pulled away from Rufus and locked eyes with him seriously. “Rufus, it’s time to make a decision.”
Rufus clenched his fists and took a deep, trembling breath. “Fine. I’ll be with you no matter what happens.”
Then he smiled at me gently, his eyes filled with unconditional love for me. He cupped my cheeks and kissed my lips. “Since our fates are intertwined, I’ll go with you, even if it leads to a dead end.”
I understood what Rufus meant. If I died, Rufus refused to live without me. The mate connection and our love for each other made our minds and souls live as one.
But Rufus couldn’t kill himself for love. He shouldered the burden of running the werewolf pack, and Laura wouldn’t accept it. She had lost her mate, and I couldn’t take her child away, too.
“I love you, Rufus.” My vision was blurred by tears, but I somehow managed to force a smile. “No, Rufus. You can’t go with me, not this time. You have to live on. I want you to live a long and happy life. I’ve sacrificed so mush for that to happen. You’re the lycan king, the hope of thousands of werewolves. Laura needs her son, and our kids need a father. Don’t worry. I’ll always be with you.” After saying that, I pushed Rufus away resolutely and turned to look at Murray.
“Let’s do it.”
Murray’s face was pale, but he nodded resolutely. “Hold Beryl in your arms and sit opposite her.”
I followed his instructions and picked up Beryl carefully.
Murray took out a delicate dagger and slashed his wrist. He used the b***d that trickled out to draw some words around me.
The spell was very complicated, and the words constantly changed. When Murray finished the last stroke, the bloody words instantly came to life. A dark purple glow enveloped the entire room, and at the same time, all of Murray’s hair turned white.
“It’s a forbidden spell, so I need to pay the price, too,” Murray explained casually when he saw me staring at his white hair.
“Th-thank you, Murray.” I felt both guilty and grateful. I hoped there would be a chance to repay him in the future, although the chances seemed slim.
“Don’t worry about me. This is gonna work.” As soon as Murray finished speaking, an unbearable pain came from the depths of my body, as if all of my bones were being shattered at the same time.
