The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- "That's exactly why we have to strike now.

With the goods in our possession, we have proof.

It bears Thesios seal, and I was told it involves sorcerythat alone condemns him.

He wont dare accuse us before the Regent," Elliot explained his plan "Wait...

but Elliot, what if Thesio appears? His men have surely warned him by now," Aldo grabbed his arm, making him stop.

There were too many dangerous variables in this equation.

"aldo, no one can be left alive in that camp, do you understand? Not even Thesio.

If he shows up, its worse for himhell be handing me his head on a silver platter," Elliot replied, fire blazing inhis eyes.

For the attacks against his land, the Duke of Everhart, by law, had the right to defend himself.

But engaging in open war with Thesio would only lead to casualties in his army, mobilization of all troops, and a weakening of their duchiesgiving other vultures the perfect opportunity to strike from behind.

The Elemental realm was not as peaceful as it pretended to be; shadowy and underhanded power struggles over scarce land were a constant battle.

"T dont think you should make this decision on your own, Elliot.

No matter how well you get along with the Duke of Everhart, this is seriouswhen it comes to the big players, this could backfire on you..." "aldo, my friend," Elliot clapped his shoulder for a moment.

---- This was true loyalty.

He didnt even know Aldo well, yet the sincerity in his worried eyes was undeniable.

"T'm sorry I didn't trust you from the start.

Dont worry, Aldoif you get the chance to take Thesios head, do it.

You have the permission of the Duke of Everhart.

did I just hear that right, or have I gone deaf in this chaos?" Tomas touched his back, his voice filled with disbelief.

Aldo stood frozen, watching the powerful man march off with unwavering determination.

"You heard correctly, Tomas.

I guess it's fate.

It looks like our kind has a chance now.

Lets go," Aldo pulled him along to join the others.

A flame of hope ignited in his heart.

If anoble as powerful as the Duke of Everhart was a hidden lycan, then he could protect them with his influence.

Saving him in the river had been the best decision of his life.

Get him a horse! We advance a good distance, then continue on foot in silence! We take them by surprise again! Hya! ---- Elliot commanded, spurring his horse forward as the first to lead the charge.

A gnawing doubt remained in his mindGordon hadnt been able to explain how they were discovered.

He only said that when a delegation arrived, Alvaro panicked.

There had been a woman among them.

Who was that woman? ee KATHERINE "What's going on? Why have we stopped?" I asked the coachman as the carriage came to an abrupt halt upon entering the castle gates.

"Milady, just a moment.

They're escorting a rebel away," a soldier from the escort informed me through the window.

a rebel?" I frowned, curiosity piqued
