The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- And back to the present events. Seeing the attention shift to the arrival of those powerful women-who seemed to multiply like cockroaches-Edmund decided it was time to vanish. With the few surviving men from his clan, they silently summoned a bridge to carry them to the other side. His magic was nearly drained, and he didn't dare use it all up>-he sensed he'd need the best for the end. Running at breakneck speed, stones formed beneath their feet, floating in the air as they advanced.

The opposite bank looked so far away, beneath them a bottomless black abyss, and Edmund's pupils narrowed when he spotted shadows moving in the depths. In his whole life as a mage, he'd never witnessed so many horrifying things at once. The stench of blood filled the cold breeze, grotesque slurping noises, twisted laughter... the nightmare never ended. ---- "The sorcerers are escaping!" he heard the voice of a traitor who had spotted them, even though they'd masked their trail.

Their hearts trembled, robes flapping as they ran, drawing out arcane energy like shooting beams of light. Edmund decided to summon the speed of thunder-a burst of power that would get him the hell out of there. Three, two, one... BAAAM! eee "Cedrick, shouldn't we chase them?" Raven was already ready to summon her fire wolf. But her confused eyes went to Nyx's family, who looked weirdly unbothered by the enemy's escape.

"Don't worry, the kids got this," Raven's red eyes met Valeria's deep blue ones, drawn by her voice. Queen to Queen, they recognized each other. Raven and Cedrick silently wondered who these "kids" ---- were. "By the Goddess... what kind of transformation is that?" Cedrick's amazed voice made her look at him and lift her head to see what had stunned him. Something was falling from the skies. Whirlwinds of portals had opened everywhere.

Above the dirt bridge the sorcerers were running across, a colossal shadow rained down on them... the shadow of a lycan. BBOOOMMM! The lightning blast clashed head-on with the unbreakable metal of an axe that slammed in its path. The weapon was nearly two meters long, but in the hands of that massive beast, it looked almost small. Edmund was thrown back, as if he'd slammed into an unmovable wall. His body rolled down the narrow bridge, halting the followers behind him, all shaking with fear.

---- "Hey, hey! Were you trying to start the slumber party without me?" the mocking, cynical voice echoed in their minds, sinking their hearts. What the hell kind of monster with a wolf's head was that creature now?
