The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- 368.

TRAPPED NARRATOR Aldo hoisted Gordon onto his back like a sack of potatoes, while Tomas carried the remaining crate.

Now, more than ever, they needed to find out exactly what this dangerous magic was.

They ran nonstop, communicating mentally the entire time.

No matter what, if they kept going like this, they'd be captured.

Leave me behind, damn it! Get out of here! If you stay, theyll take you prisoner too! Warn the Duchy! Shut up, damn it! Tomas shouted at Gordon.

He dropped the crate, placing it at the rivers edge.

This area was deep, the currents strong enough to drag the crate and the injured man away.

But they didnt dare throw themselves in and try to swim across.

Climb onquickly! Try to reach the other side and find help, go!" Aldo lowered him from his back Gordon could barely stand, but he pushed through.

"No, no, lets all gowait!" Gordon protested, realizing their intentions.

Aldo and Tomas couldnt waste time explaining.

"We can take care of ourselves.

The crate won't hold all our weight.

Tell our support to meet us at the Alcas Mountains NOW Go!" ---- They shoved him into the current, Gordon lying flat over the crate, clinging to the edges for dear lifeand his life literally depended on it.

His situation wasnt safe eitherthe waters of this river were treacherous and deadly.

All they could do was pray that he made it across with the evidence they had fought so hard to obtain.

"T'll find help!" Gordon shouted, vanishing into the darkness, carried away by the rivers furious currents.

"Aldo, I hear the dogs!" "We need to throw them off! Run back into the forest!" With their pursuers right on their heels, the two men darted into the dense shadows of the woodswhere they could shift.

Two legs became four.

Their muscular bodies were replaced with swift, powerful wolves, their forms melting into the wild surroundings.

Still, they couldnt outrun the hounds forever.

The pack leading the mounted hunters wouldnt be so easily fooled.

A massive red-and-white Alpha wolf led the escape, with a smaller, tawny-colored wolf close behind.

They aimed for the snowy mountain pass.

It was dangerous, a perilous route filled with predatorsbut they wouldnt go in deep.

They just needed to hide long enough for their hunters to give up.
