The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- 53.

A SURPRISE FOR YOU NARRATOR Drakkar warned the healer, who had already shifted back to her human form.

Gertrudis and Nana had nowhere else to go either.

alright," both of them said, and they were led to the back of the cave through a well-camouflaged crack.

Drakkar pushed aside the curtain of leaves theyd woven to mask the scents.

They passed through the passage, and both women arrived in a whole new world.

Through the cave network, they had discovered a cavern with a vent, free of gases and heat.

Not only did they have hot springs to bathe and boil leaves, but also better-made huts crafted with pelts, bones, and wood.

Best of all, they hunted powerful creatures despite having few warriors, but nothing could stand against their new weapons Gertrudis held back from asking questions.

Especially because of the hostile glares from the women chiseling stone molds.

---- Alll of this progress had been brought by Lyra in just a few days.

She told everyone that the dagger was made in these caves, not traded at the fair like they had claimed to the Alpha.

Gertrudis deeply regretted her arrogance and ignorance, She found Lyra inside one of the most ventilated huts at the center of the settlement.

Whatever you came to ask me, if its not something that helps Drakkar, Im not interested." The Alpha looked at her with sharp eyes.

She had always known that old woman knew more than she let on.

"T dont know if it'll help Drakkar exactly, but Ill reveal everything my master taught me." Then Gertrudis entered Lyras hut, and under Drakkars close watch, she told her about the magical crystal hidden in the mountain.

Its dangers and effects.

Lyras eyes widened; she looked like a power conduit.

Maybe that was the solution to Drakkars curse.

She hadnt found much magic on this savage continent.

---- "We'll go right now," Lyra said, standing up, excited.

"No, night is falling.

That area is dangerous, even for you.

Better to go in daylight." Gertrudis was the most desperate to steal some of that magic, but she also didnt want to die before her time.

Lyra thought about it and nodded.

'Theres something else..." "Pm listening," Lyra looked at her with suspicion.

"Twont come back this time.

When I teach you how to recite part of the spell, I...

will die..." Gertrudis looked outside, where the women were tending to Nana.

"We haven't been good to you.

I dont ask for your mercy, only that you give my daughter a chance.

She was just a foolish girl in love, and shes already paid the price." Lyra nodded.

She didnt pity Gertrudis, she still remembered the girl they burned when she arrived They all deserved to die for their ignorance, but she wasnt the Goddess to judge these wolves
