The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- VALERIA "Im sorry, it seems...

I had a dream," I said, filled with embarrassment, wiping my tears with the sleeve of my dress and standing up from the rocking chair.

"A dream?" she replies incredulously, holding a small vial in her hand.

''Thats strange, because in my space, dreams are impossible." "What? But I..." "Heres your friends medicine.

It will only keep her stable for a while, but princess, the cure for that hybrid lies with her mate," she interrupts my words, filled with doubts, and explains.

"When she receives the bite from her mate, whether its a vampire or a werewolf, the balance will stabilize." Im shocked to hear that Celines cure isnt even in ---- my hands; finding a mate could be even more complicated.

"J...

[don't want to take advantage of your generosity.

Honestly, I have nothing to pay you with, but there was a child...

he looked like he was dying.

For him, could you give me something as well?" I ask, feeling ashamed, but I still make the attemptI can't leave without trying.

"Tts not that I dont want to heal him, but you know this could bring us trouble.

It wasnt just the Vampire Kings evil that drowned this realm, princess.

There was already so much darkness in peoples heartshe just brought it to the surface," she sighs, but then leans over the table and pours a little more potion into another small glass vial.

"Give him this tonic, but in secret.

No one must know.

I don't know how you'll manage," she hands it to me, and I quickly tuck it into the inner pocket of my skirt.

"No one will know.

I wont put you at risk," I assure her.

---- "Tts not me youll put at risk, but yourself," she responds, placing her hand on my shoulder.

"Take care of your little one.

Shes the future Selenia.

And hereuse this to pay that so-called healer, Augusta, who knows absolutely nothing about medicine." My eyes widen in surprise.

How does she already know my babys gender? I look down at my hand, where shes placed a beautiful silver hairpin.

"Tha...

Thank you.

I...

I dont know how to repay your kindness..." I lift my gaze to meet her kind eyes, a smile on her lips, while everything around me begins to fade.

"Dll be here, waiting for you to free us from calamity, Princess Valeria.

The Dark Realm is counting on you," her ethereal voice lingers in the air, and the weight on my shoulders grows even heavier.

I find myself standing in the same alley, alone, confused, and full of doubts.
