The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

SEDUCTION ALDRIC Seeing Valeria so wounded and vulnerable was breaking my heart while , at the same time , a relentless rage grew inside me .

He was fighting to break free to comfort her , to lick her wounds .

I could feel him scratching at my mind , Trying to take over Being so close to losing her only reinforced my fears She could vanish from my world in an instant , never to return .

I scanned the scene the group of warriors , two naked women clinging to each other , trembling in a corner , mutilated slave , and another lying dead .

The one responsible for all this a Beta wolf , also naked , reeking of sex , fear , and rot .

I let out a low warning growl .

P No one moves from here , especially you , boss .

Ive got your scent , and Ill hunt you down like an animal if you dare take a step away .

The Beta nodded immediately , his red eyes wide with fear , trembling .

Not so cocky now .

1 carried Valeria a bit further from the camage .

Her small body felt so fragile , curled against my massive beastly chest , her arms weakly draped around my neck , her face buried against my collarbone .

She couldnt even meet my gaze before when I was human , yet now she clung to the most terrifying version of me , clearly terrified by the situation .

The scent of bitter chocolate intensified , igniting my desire though I didnt understand why .

Why was her skin so hot ? I reached a small stream I had passed earlier , its banks shaded by dense trees .

It was peaceful enough for us to rest a moment .

Valeria , I called gently , crouching to lay her on the soft grass , leaning her carefully against the tree trunk .

Her watery eyes blinked open , staring at me strangely , as though dazed .

I supposed it was natural having the massive head of a Lycan inches from your face wouldnt exactly be comforting Stay here .

Dont move .

Ill be back quickly .

I wanted to touch her cheek , to reassure her , but my claws were too large , and her delicate body already too wounded .

When I stood , she suddenly grabbed my arm .

Ss … sir … her voice was hoarse and raw , her brow furrowed in pain .

She seemed to be suffering , SEDUCTION +25 BONUS I had to find a way to help her heal but first , there was one last thing I had to finish .

Im close .

I can smell you , Valeria .

Stay strong .

Ill be right back .

She nodded weakly , sweat trailing down her face , her breath ragged .

That intoxicating scent was pouring from her , and it was taking everything in me to resist it .

I rushed back to deal with that bastard Beta .

I expected him to run , thinking Id have to hunt him down in his pack .

But no , he stayed to die probably thinking he could beg for mercy by mentioning his Alphas name .

He couldnt have been more wrong .

He pleaded , groveled , but I slit his throat without hesitation just as he deserved , just like that poor woman crushed beneath his cart .

Silence followed in the clearing .

The guards kept their heads down .

The women sobbed quietly in a corner .

You .

Take these women to the next safe village .

Pay for everything with his money .

Ill be checking to make sure youve done it .

And if you lay a finger on them W we wont , Your Majesty ! We wont ! Please , forgive us ! We were just following orders ! Cowards .

But I needed someone to escort the women to safety .

They knew who I was now Beta must have told them .

Theyd be fools to disobey me .

Give me your pack names .

Ill confirm when you arrive safely .

They stammered their answers while I noted the information .

Satisfied for the moment , I turned and headed back to Valera , worry pressing heavily on my chest .

Shifting back into my human form , I rinsed the blood from my body in the stream , then tied some vines around my waist to cover myself .

The massive moon overhead bathed the forest in silver , and I silently thanked the Goddess for guiding me to her in time .

But as I returned to where I had left Valeria by the tree she was gone .

Valeria ? No answer .

But her scent lingered close .

I turned to see her standing in the deeper part of the stream watching me with a gaze I had never seen before .

She began to rise from the water , and my throat went dry .

Her dress was torn indecently so ..

Her pale breasts were practically exposed , the pink peaks of her hardened nipples clearly visible through the wet fabric .

A long tear along her skirt revealed the curve of her white thigh , so high I was sure Id glimpse her most intimate place any second .

Her soaked black hair clung to her back , and her blue eyes shimmered with seductive heat .

Her lips plump , sinful , parted called to me .

The scars on her face didnt matter .

I could see the raw beauty beneath them , and right now , she was captivating me completely .

Valeria , w whats going on ? I heard my own voice stumble like a damn fool as she stepped Isarefoot out of the water , lifting her skirt even higher , baring her hips , her thighs ….

My cock jerked in response as I caught a glimpse of the pink slit between her legs , glistening with desires She kept coming closer .

For the first time in my life , faced with a woman , I stepped back .

And then another step .

Until my back hit a tree trunk .

This wasnt the timid , obedient Valeria I knew .

Something was wrong .

Was she … in heat ? But how , without a wolf spirit inside her Maybe it was possible just like her shifting .

* Valeria , wait .

Tell me whats happening .

Are you … are you in heat ? I tried to keep my voice steady , gripping her shoulders gently , attempting to ground us both .

Her lips parted further , and she whispered , Touch me .

I need you to touch me more , Aldric .
