The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- suddenly, the window swung open again, and a cold mist seeped inside, taking the shape of a tall, handsome man who caressed her cheek.

Easy, little she-wolf, easy," Salvatore murmured, tracing the line of her jaw.

That damn Elliot will pay for this too.

Do you think he sensed you? " she asked suddenly, a hint of fear in her voice.

For a moment, she had the chilling suspicion that Elliot had noticed him spying from the forest.

"No, I dont think so.

None of those muttsespecially one who doesnt even know how to fully unleash his wolfcan detect me," he said confidently.

Brenda had told him everything she knew about Elliot.

Salvatore had survived for centuries; he was no novice.

He wasnt afraid of the Duke of Everhart.

"So...

did you get a good look at her?" Brenda asked, her anger subsiding, though her chest still heaved with suppressed rage.

"Yes.

Shes definitely a witchs descendant.

And whats better shes the woman Ive been looking for," he confirmed.

"Not only can she perform the spell, but she must also know where the missing part of the map is," he added, feigning indifference.

But Brenda saw the excitement in his eyes.

He was euphoric.

And he made her feel it, too, with his body, pulling her tightly against him ---- and claiming her mouth in a deep, possessive kiss.

She dug her claws into his back and bit him, venting her frustration.

He was exactly what she needed right now.

"Lets go somewhere more private," she suggested, her voice thick with lust.

Salvatore wasnt about to refuseespecially not after seeing her through that window.

The resemblance had stunned him.

For a moment, it had felt like he was looking at Bellahis little witch, his lover.

He never made it to a private room.

Out in the forest, he pressed Brenda against a tree with raw hunger, tearing away her undergarments like a beast in heat.

Lifting her against him, he plunged into her soft, wet heat, but his mind was elsewherelost in memories of her.

The only woman he had ever had feelings for...

and yet, the one he had also betrayed.

Rossella Everhart, or whatever name she had taken as Duchess, had to have that encoded journal.

od "There was a vampire watching us from the forest.

I could feel ---- him.

He covets our female." That was the first thing Vorath said to Elliot as soon as they climbed into the carriage and left that place behind.

what's wrong?" Katherine stroked him, sensing the tension in his muscles.

"a vampire is making deals with Brenda," he confessed, watching her eyes widen in shock, "and it seems like they wanted to see you.

That's why she was so insistent that you sit by the window." "Me?" Katherine pointed to herself, but then, as her thoughts aligned, something clicked in her mind.

"Wait...

Do you think its the same vampire the journals previous owner warned us about? But how did he know I was a supernatural being?" she whispered.

"Maybe its him.

I wouldnt be surprised if hes still alive.

Vorath says he seems to have some powernothing alarming," Elliot confirmed.

"and as for how he discovered your power, I dont know.

I doubt it was Brenda; shes not capable of detecting you." Elliot...

do you think theyre after the journals secret? That place we're also trying to reach?" Katherine leaned in, whispering near his ear.
