The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- Iwanted to step backIll admit, I was scaredbut there was no time.

Yet, inches from my soul, a white hand grabbed her wrist firmly.

Game's over, Laziels voice came from behind me, and right away, I felt his presence soothing my frayed nerves.

Electra withdrew her spectral arm with a low hiss of pain.

Laziels hand didnt flinch, even while touching that corrosive energy.

Lavi, dont be afraid.

Ive always been watching over your body, he said softly, and I sighed with relief.

She showed me everything that happened in this continent...

and it was awful...

I said, still staring at Electra.

What does she want from me? I asked again.

She wants to make a pact with you, Laziel replied, catching me off guard.

She...

wants to become my specter? Like how you control yours, or how Silas handled those souls? I couldn't believe it.

Even with all her failures, Electras magic was incredible, she had been a powerful witch.

---- And now...

she wanted to give all that to me? Lavinia...

he turned me toward him and looked straight into my eyes.

and even he couldnt protect her.

I want to be strong enough to protect my love, not always depend on him.

as long as youre with me...

Im not afraid of anything...

1 whispered, intertwining my fingers with the hand of the man who had slipped under my skin.

---- Until my last breath, I'll be watching over your every step.

I closed my eyes, my soul vibrating in tune with my spectral prince.

The trembling fingers of my other hand...

began to reach toward the darkness.

wee On the other side of the Continent, things were about to spiral out of control.
