The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- ALDRIC Before I left entirely, I turned back to the edge of the abyss.

Her blood and mine stained the ground.

Now that the spell was broken, I could smell her clearlyI had attacked her with the intent to kill.

Only Quinn and Celine had defended her from me.

They knew, and they lied to me At least they managed to follow her to wherever she was taken.

I hoped they could protect her and buy me some time.

This couldnt have been orchestrated solely by that bastard Vampire King.

How did he know we'd come here? Everything seemed too perfectly planned, even manipulating me with reports of a vampire to.

turn me against her.

"Your Majesty! What happened? We heard fighting but didnt dare approach the fog.

Youre injuredhere, take a cloak!" "Gather all the members of your pack, except the pupsNOW!" I roared at the Alpha waiting for me with several warriors at the base of the mountain.

Iwas seeing red from desperation, but Ihad to make my mind work, uncover the truth behind all of this.

Itook the clothing they handed me, wrapping it around my hips.

I climbed onto the old wooden platform and threw the body of that thing in front of everyone.

They recoiled, forming a semi-circle in fear.

"Where is the Pack Regent?" I scanned the crowd.

If she wasnt here, her absence would betray her.

But then she stepped forward nervously.

"Your Highness, I...

Im sorry for what happened to your mate.

I didnt know" "Didnt know what? I havent even asked you anything.

What exactly are you sorry for, you damn liar?" My voice was colder than I had ever spoken to anyone before.

My oppressive aura, full of pain and fury, crushed them mercilessly.

The more I thought about it, the more my suspicions grewespecially toward this woman.
