The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- 244, INFILTRATING THE ENEMY NARRATOR "There was a war in this fortress, and a lot of bodies were buried ... we've got plenty of material." "But still, you can't do it alone. You'll have to tell the Lord..." "No!" Meridiana suddenly interrupted. "You can't tell the Lord anything, he won't believe you!" "Why not? I'm his mate. Even though he's grateful to those elders, Dracomir listens to me, he might..." "You can't," Meridiana reached for her anxiously.

"I don't know why, but | saw it in that girl's memories... if you speak to the Lord against that family, he won't believe you... he... there's something... | don't know..." Victoria fell silent, her chest tight. Of course she believed Meridiana. She had felt it herself. She understood Dracomir's gratefulness, but a man as sharp as he was... it was like he was blind when it came to those people. Celia slaughtered her maids left and right, and he brushed it off as childish antics.

---- Dracomir wasn't like that. He was just, even with his grudge against vampires. But with that man and his family, the rules didn't apply. They had done something to her mate to control him. "Fine. We're on our own," she sighed with determination. "Still, even with extra magic, you can't raise that many corpses on your own. And the Lord will notice your constant absences..." Rousse pointed out the flaws. "Then we need help, Rousse.

We have to bring Marius and his people into this," Victoria said firmly, standing in the middle of the clearing. "You can't bring back your kind, and Meridiana will be drained from extracting that powerful magic. We need more allies." "Don't trust them, Victoria! Those vampires are hiding something! "Rousse didn't trust that hypocrite one bit. But, contrary to what he thought, Celine and Zarek's daughter just smiled-that same wicked smile her father wore when he had a bad idea.

"| know," Victoria clicked her tongue. ---- "know the vampires aren't the victims Marius tried to make me believe. Still, we'll use him the same way they planned to use us." Rousse started to understand Victoria's plan. "Remember, Rousse, the puppeteer never tells all his secrets to his students. Let them do some of the dirty work for us," she even winked at him, full of mischief. Rousse had no doubt about where Victoria came from. Paternity test? Please... she was Zarek ina wig.

1 They schemed a little more to stir up chaos in the realm, and were about to leave when the general noticed his little witch had gone too quiet. Her eyes were fixed on a far-off section of the fortress. "What is it?" he gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "Someone's in pain... walking the line between life and death..." Meridiana was far too sensitive to that. She couldn't ignore the sound of a soul's final breath. "A woman?" the vampire suddenly had a hunch. "Yes, she's there... in that direction," Meridiana pointed toward the servant quarters.
