The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- 92.

A PACT WITH DARKNESS, LAVINIA «She spent her last days in rags, rambling, talking to herself with Electra, screaming at her, fighting with a shadow.

Insilence, she ordered that door to be built, sealed the secrets of the dying heart beneath the castle, and erected her own tomb.

I saw myself walking that same path of polished stones, into that cavern, watching her sitting on that throne with a dagger in her hand.

go you've finally stopped hiding like a rat...

I gasped, stepping back when she lifted her head and fixed her eyes on me.

Could she actually see me now? But no...

Blectra, she added, and instantly, a spectral shadow passed through me from behind, sending a chilling shiver down my spine I saw it moving toward Drusilla.

It didnt look like the specters of Silas or Laziel, where the humanoid form was barely distinguishableno, this specter had evolved even further.

Formed of dark mist, a beautiful woman appeared, with short hair and eyes filled with hatred and resentment.

---- She didnt speak a word, just stared at the scene like I did.

you think you'll be free when I die?! Hahaha! Drusilla began laughing like a lunatic.

Tm going to die, yes! But youre staying locked in here with me, sister...

together forever, dear Electra...

she taunted.

Only another De la Croix can unlock this place, and guess what? Therell be no one left! Hahaha! She raised her hand, trembling with the dagger in her grip, crying and laughing at the act she was about to commit against her own life.

Leven sawher hesitate at the very last second, but it was already too late.

Electras specter appeared beside her with blinding speed, her sharp black-nailed hand grabbing Drusillas wrist and forcing the blade across her throat.

Drusilla De la Croixs bulging eyes widened in agony as the blade carved slowly and deeply through her neck.

Talmost turned my face awayit looked like the whole scene had dropped into slow motion.

Electras eyes shone bright black and green, grinning wickedly as she forced Drusilla to die.

---- She didnt care about being trapped in this place for centuries if it meant ending that damn bitch.

She had waited patiently, and her moment had come.

With a splash of blood and a silent scream, my ancestors hollow eyes stared into mine before her hand fell, dropping the dagger to the floor, and her body remained frozen in the same position we later found it in.

1 thought that was the end...

I figured without Drusilla, the illusion of memories would vanish.

But I was wrong.» The one who showed me all of this wasnt Drusilla De la Croixit was that spectral being now walking toward me.

T know you can see me.

What do you want from me, Electra? I spoke when she was less than a meter away.

Her trail of dark power was thick, suffocating.

She opened her mouth, but I couldnt hear a thing.

Laziel could hear his spectershe told me their voices were horrible, that they never let him sleep, but they belonged to him.

{ cant hear you, Electra...

| dont know what you want from me...

Why did you trap me in those memories? 1 frowned in confusion, and in a blink, she had her arm stretched out, about to touch my chest, where my heart thudded erratically.
