The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- Celine finally reached the fog guarding the door and stood before it fora few seconds.

---- He shook his head.

That girl would have been better off if he had snapped her neck quickly; now, she would suffer a far worse death.

"Sir, the explosives on the aqueduct grounds have been detonated," one of his men reported.

"Good.

The rain will smother the gunpowder.

Keep hunting down any vermin trying to escape His Majestys perimeter.

Not a single one can survive!" Beof commanded ruthlessly, charging forward toward the main battlefield.

They had split into several strategic groups to crush the rebellion.

His section was going well, but the main fight was at the castle, where Quinn and Gabrielle had headed.

sek Gabrielle, why do you have to go to such a dangerous place? I can go alone to protect Celine! A powerful Lycan raced across the castle grounds under the heavy rain, shielding a woman in his arms.

Quinn, Zarek needs me to transfer ownership of the protection contract.

It seems he wants to give it to that man who has your sister under his spellsomething like that, he said.

He doesnt explain much.

What?! Hes going to hand over control of his power to that bastard...? I mean, shit...

it's to protect my sister, right? Quinn bit back his complaints, confused and deeply worried, his eyes locked on the drawbridge lowering ahead with a rattling of chains and ---- trembling wood over the deep moat.

It was clear Zarek wanted them inside the castle.

No, Quinn, you dont understand.

That contract has clauses, fine print.

That idiot sorcerer is walking right into his own death.

And honestly, I want to break my damn bond with Zarek.

After all, Ive come to terms with the fact that my daughter will never be the next Selenia Queen.

The laws of this world will change soon, and I believe the Dark Realms monarch will be someone else.

They fell into silence, moving swiftly under the torrential rain, crossing the moat at full speed and entering the castle's open gates.

There was no need to mention namesQuinn knew very well Gabrielle was talking about Celine.

But it didnt bring him relief; it only made him more anxious.

He had always been there to protect his little sister, and now she had such a powerful mate.

Was that good or bad for Celine? If he mistreated her, humiliated her for being a hybrid and nota pureblood vampire, it wouldnt matter if he had to dieQuinn would defend his little sister, the one he had raised like a father.

No idiot would make her suffer.

sek While chaos and battle raged outside the castle grounds, inside, everything was eerily silent.

Nota single sound echoed, not even a breath; the air was thick with tension, where even the faintest whisper could be heard clearly.
