The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- They all stopped, staring at their leader. And even ---- though many didn't agree, they began to retreat. The werewolves didn't chase them. Drakmor was a race they had learned to respect. Not something you tempted fate with. Just like the plague had arrived, it withdrew to its continent, dragging away the bodies of its fallen. They all returned to their territory-all but their Alpha, who struggled to get to his feet and walk toward his mate and little daughter.

But this time, it wouldn't be so easy. Sachar wanted nothing to do with him. She wouldn't expose her pup to the madness of Ignacio's daughter, and she certainly wasn't going back to that cursed mountain. She had felt it herself-since arriving on this continent, her mind had begun to heal from the violence and murderous instinct. ---- Hebe In the shadows among the trees, red eyes watched everything unfold. She'd done well not to reveal herself.

She saw her father trying to approach that female and that damned little beast. Rucka left, heading back to the mountain-blending in with the other Drakmor. She had been close to that power stone, her strength had grown, and now the time had come to claim the head of the clan. She killed her own brother because he disagreed with her-eliminating the competition. Her father could no longer be Alpha. His feelings for Prince Aidan made him weak. She never forgot or forgave. Her mother's death...

someone had to pay. ---- Hebe "You can let go of him now. Listen, it's alright... we'll take him to the cabin. His Druid is on the way," Hakon-the huge, battle-hardened blond Alpha of the Swamp Pack-spoke patiently to Nyx. She still clung to Aidan, even though his magic had stabilized The Selenia looked up with red eyes and saw that the chaos had been brought under control. She looked down at her mate's pale face, the fear of losing him still strangling her soul.

She nodded, allowing them to carry him off to rest in one of the swamp houses. Built high in the trees on strong wooden platforms. "Bella... Bella..." Nyx could hear the soft murmurs from his lips. Her chest ached, but she understood Aidan's worry for his female. ---- Something had happened at the palace. Theo's magic was tangled around the prince's wounded heart. They'd been betrayed. What the hell was happening in this damned realm? Nyx made a decision right then and there... Dangerous, but necessary.
