The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- FLASHBACK FROM ZAREK'S PAST ZAREK: "Please, tell me you didnt poop again," I look into her bright little eyes, and all that comes out of her tiny mouth are bubbles of saliva.

I lift her into my arms and cautiously sniff her diaper.

"Phew, I thought it was my turn again.

Hold it in until your dad gets here, okay? Your uncle only likes you when you smell like a clean little baby," I cradle her in my arms and start pacing with her.

Ican't help but smile; she's so adorable and reminds me so much of my sister when she was little.

"Dad has to deal with the poop, the sleepless nights, and in the future, fighting off suitors," Roger walks into the room, huffing, and I hand him his little daughter.

"Well, mom had to carry her for nine months and give birth to her.

Isn't that enough?" "Yeah, sure, always defending your sister.

Shes not as saintly as you think, she..." "AAAAHHH!" Suddenly, a scream cuts through our conversation, and I rush to the adjoining room; that scream was my sisters.

"Alana!" I burst into the room to find her crying, her terrified eyes locking onto mine.

I feel my heart freeze in my chest.

No...

this feels like déja vu, just like ---- years ago when I found my mother waking up from 'the call." "Alana, calm down, take it easy, little sister," I sit on the bed and hold her as her trembling hands clutch my arms tightly.

Her entire being is terrified, and Im even more so because I know exactly what this means.

"I...

[saw it, brother.

I saw all the chaos, the prison door...

it wont hold.

Moms power wasnt enough," her frantic eyes, the same color as my mother Selenias, look straight into mine.

"The Goddess called me.

She needs my help." "NO!" Lyell, startling her, shaking my head vehemently.

"But, baby...

your mother was called too.

How is this happening so soon?! "her mate rushes into the room, his face filled with desperation.

He runs to Alana, throwing himself onto the bed to hold her as she breaks down in sobs.

I get up and stand in a corner, clenching my fists and grinding my teeth so hard I feel them crack.

I think I might go insane with rage.

I storm outside onto the balcony, facing the full moon in the sky.

What do you want from us?! When will you stop tearing my family apart? How much longer do we have to pay for you creating us, damn you! " T scream at the Goddess, filled with resentment, while the wails of a baby echo through the night.

Icollapse to my knees, unable to help it, powerless and consumed by rage, just like when my mother left a little girl in my carethe next Selenia for the throne.

She sacrificed herself to maintain peace in this land.
