The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- And just when I was about to die...

«You have been a good daughter, my Valeria, a very good one.

Iam pleased, and I will grant you a gift for all your suffering, my Selenia.

Today, you have restored hope to a mother, and in return, I will grant you anumerous and powerful lineage.

Now, you may pass» The voice vanished, and my body was pulled by what seemed like a whirlpool of water.

The light grew brighter and brighter until I fell to my knees, coughing violently.

My hands pressed against the ground, the sensation of drowning still vivid in my memory, and something else...

but I couldnt remember clearly.

How did I get here? Celine, Quinn! I stood up, panic flooding me, fearing they hadnt made it.

But when I looked back, I found themalong with other unconscious bodies lying on a golden floor.

Celine, wake up! Quinn, please, be alive, please! I shook them desperately, kneeling beside them.

They were still holding hands; despite everything, they never let go.

Quinn's eyes snapped open, and he took a deep, desperate breath, filling his lungs with air, while coughing sounds echoed behind me.

Celine.

He sat up to wake the Alpha, who also suddenly gasped, breathing heavily.

Guys, thank the Goddess.

I hugged them tightly, tears threatening to fall.

My conscience wouldnt survive if anything happened to them in this madness.

They hugged me back, all three of us catching our breath.

Oddly enough, our clothes werent wet, nor were our bodies.

---- Valeria, where...

where are we? Celine asked, staring straight ahead in shock.

Iturned my head in that direction, my eyes widening in astonishment, my heart pounding wildly.

The call of my ancestors, the connection that binds me to all Selenias, tugged at my mind and soul.

This is the prison of Umbros and the tomb of the Selenias, I told them, and the lights shone in my eyes.

Here, we will have to fight and winor we will all die, and evil will prevail.
