Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince novel Chapter 24

Laura‘s POV: 

"Mother, you are messing around," Rufus snapped coldly.

He was instantly displeased with me.I knew that he would react this way.After all, he was my son, and I knew him.But not everything would be up to him.

"Your father and I have already discussed this. He is satisfied with Alina too." I put on a loving smile and deliberately mentioned Ethan‘s name to make Rufus accept the arrangement.

"I have never thought of finding a fiancee," Rufus said coldly.

He didn‘t even spare a glance at Alina.

"You are already twenty–eight years old.You can‘t delay getting married any longer.Besides, the ministers have been urging you," I continued to persuade him.

But I also couldn‘t help feeling helpless.Rufus had been very assertive since he was a child.And convincing him to do something he didn‘t want was extremely difficult.

"I am responsible for finding my own mate," Rufus insisted.

"No.When it comes to this matter, I have the final say," I said angrily.

I was his mother, but he didn‘t respect me at all.When I noticed that everyone‘s eyes were on me, I softened my voice.

"Alina is a good girl.She is gentle, considerate, and talented.” I think you two are a perfect match.

"Since you like her so much, why don’t you introduce her to Richard?" Rufus‘ mouth curled into a sneer, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"Rufus!" I snapped in a low voice.

Since there were so many people around, I didn‘t dare to go too far.I could only swallow my anger, which made my temples ache.He knew I didn‘t get along well with Richard, that illegitimate child of my husband‘s.But he still used Richard to provoke me.I also noticed that he looked nervously at the lowly slave beside him.

It was as if he was afraid of angering her.
