The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- Sometimes things went wrong, the diary was full of imperfections, mistakes, and she would lose consciousness, hurt her body. Incredibly, she would then wake up energized and healed... by him! "It was you!" She tried to break free of his hold and turn to face him, but Laziel's arms only clutched her tighter. "| didn't do it out of pity, Lavinia, or because | thought you were less; |... admired how you tried on your own... I...

| liked your laugh every time things went right for you..." Laziel's voice tickled her ear and warmed her soul. What began as innocent curiosity, over the years became something more in the dark heir's heart. Memories floated through Lavinia's mind. Sometimes she found odd notes, with crooked, kind of ugly handwriting... she thought one of her ancestresses had left them That she'd missed them in her previous reading and learned to follow them in the diary.

Those notes were the most useful for stabilizing her portal magic. ---- It was him... He had always been haunting her like a shadow watching over her and, far from feeling repulsed, she felt... strange, and cherished. Laziel was controlling, possessive, like his spectral hand was always on the back of her neck, but Lavinia adored her beautiful toxic man. In fact, what happened didn't bother her that much either, she just... wanted to teach her presumptuous mate a lesson.

"Thank you for staying with me since then..." Lavinia whispered, lowering her head, feeling him inhale her hair deeply. She was much shorter; the crown of her head barely brushed Laziel's chin. His body curved over her back. One hand squeezed her waist, pulling her tighter to his broad chest, and the other, tipped with black claws, slid to her throat in a controlling way. Her whole world sank into Laziel's aura.

"I'm the only one who gets to be grateful here, Lavinia." He kissed her temple softly, lovingly. "You're my light, the only thing ---- that can steady my mind and my violence. The only thing that quiets the voices and keeps the monsters inside me in check..." Moisture gathered at the corners of Lavinia's eyes. Outside, the world was falling apart, but none of that had to do with them. "| never put you at risk. | believe in you.

| know what you're capable of; | just wanted you to trust again, you were hesitating... And Lavinia admitted inside that it was true. She had been questioning whether it had been a good idea to bind herself to such a powerful specter. Old insecurities sometimes made her retreat, and Electra was starting to realize she could push over her will. Lavinia's soul resonated and vibrated with the invasive energy sliding in through every pore. The call of Laziel's soul.

Their magics intertwined, and it was impossible to tell where one began and the other ended. Two halves of a whole. But this time, Lavinia decided to take advantage of her beloved stalker. "Since when did you have the situation under control?" She ---- lowered her head, looking at her ankle boots; a flicker of something odd passed through her eyes. "Since..." Laziel's voice hovered on the edge like a suicide jump, "... since the beginning."
