The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- 299.

IDON'T REGRET CHOOSING YOU SIGRID I start to feel anxious because hes completely shutting me out.

But our magic is oneits like the mate bond in werewolves or the blood connection in vampires.

We are mates, and right now, the only thing I feel coming from him is insecurity and...

fear? silas? 1 try to lift my head, but he clings to my body even tighter.

We are both sitting on the bed.

Love, whats wrong? I ask, worried.

I feel his tension, his resistance.

Hes suddenly terrified, his heartbeat erratic.

Its making me nervous.

Just as Im about to open my mouth again, placing my hand on his chest to push him away, he finally speaks in a guttural voice: | cant, he whispers, his voice trembling.

The turbulent storm of his magic is on the verge of spiraling out of control.

What? I whisper, stunned.

T cant, Sigrid...

L...

1 didnt tell you because I was afraid you'd leave me...

Dont walk away from me, please, dont leave my life.

I cant bear it without you.

Im so selfish I kept quiet just to keep you by my side...

---- silas, love, calm down, calm down.

Silas, look at me, please, look at me, I break free from his iron grip, lift my hands, and make him meet my gaze.

His eyeschanging again, just like every time the darkness outweighs his light.

One eye cursed and blackened, the other a dull gold, his jaw locked, muscles clenched tight as if hes about to explode, his teeth gritted, his body trembling.

He just stares at me, stares at me, stares at me...

You...

you mean you cant...

I begin piecing his words together, understanding.

You cant get me pregnant.

At my words, he closes his eyes and nods, confirming it.

The deep pain hes trying to suppress, the desolation in his soul it still reaches me.

I saw it in the depths of his gaze.

I clench my fists, hatred roaring in my heart.

Im certain this has everything to do with the vile experiments Lucrecia put him through.

Thate her.

I hate her so much all over again that Id buy a ticket back just to kill her a second time.

I throw myself at my man.

His body falls back onto the bed, and mine lands on his strong hips, straddling him, feeling his seed still leaking from my pussy.

{diot, my mate, do you really think Id leave you over something like that? I caress his rough stubble, my face hovering over his.
