The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- ALDRIC Soon, the boat used to cross the river was set in motion.

These waters were treacherous, infested with crocodiles and other dangerous creatures.

I would dare to cross it alone, but not with my woman on my back.

"Were with our people now, love.

Everything will be fine," I kissed Valerias hand, and she kissed the back of my neck.

It was time to plan our revenge and the conquest of this realm.

I didnt care who sat on the throne, as long as it was an ally.

No one would ever threaten my family again.

ook CELINE I felt terrible.

My head ached, dizziness overwhelmed my senses, and my chest tightened with a dull pain.

What was happening to me? Was it the curse of my blood? Was I about to have another relapse? I couldnt think clearly.

Helplessness grew inside me as I sank into the scalding water of the tub, closing my eyes, exhausted.

When I opened them again, I was somewhere else.

Where...

where am I now?" I asked myself, staring blankly around.

---- Iwas standing, submerged up to my hips in what looked like a rectangular pool, filled with steaming water and dark rose petals.

It was an enormous bathroom, the mist from the hot water clouding the air.

White columns supported the high ceiling, where a massive golden chandelier filled with candles illuminated the luxurious space.

At the far end of the pool, small white stairs led up to a resting area, adorned with soft cushions, two goblets, and a golden pitcher that smelled of wine.

It looked like a place designed for lovers, for a steamy bath shared by two but what was I doing here? Before I could call my wolf, I tensed at the sensation of a hand wrapping around my waist from behind.

I hadnt even noticed another presence! I tried to turn, to pull away in fear, but a strong, naked body pressed against my back, hot breath falling dangerously low over my ear.

"Why did you disobey me, Celine?" It was him.

It was Zarek.

My whole body tensed, yet at the same time, it was filled with an unfamiliar longing; my heart pounded wildly.

Icould feel his nakedness, the hard muscles of his chest, and his erect member pressed against my ass.

I didnt dare move.

The deal with my mate was to pretendif Zarek tempted me again, I would make him believe I was falling for his lies, just so I could get Dante into the palace.

ale Iwas scared...

no..."
