Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Chapter 1127 Palmer

It felt like my world had crumbled in an instant.I lost the strength in my legs, and if Rufus didn't catch me in time, I would have fallen on my knees.

"Calm down.This isn't the time to lose your wits.Pull yourself together."

My precious Beryl was just a toddler, nothing more than a snack to the vicious python.

How could anyone be so cruel as to try and feed her to that monster? I pushed Rufus aside and took a deep, steadying breath.

"What should we do now?"

"Don't worry," Rufus said in a low voice, his face set in quiet determination.

"I have an idea."

He signaled at his men to remain silent and retreat slowly.

The more people there were, the higher the chances of alerting the python to our presence.
