The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- Thid my grimace of annoyancejealousy hung in the air, floating like poison.

"What is it?" "Do you need a handkerchief to wipe the drool you're about to drop on her tits?" she whispered, pulling me aside while Kath familiarized herself with the magical runes.

"Dont tell me youre about to throw a tantrum right now," I rolled my eyes in frustration.

"You think Im an idiot? You think I dont notice your interest in her? Youre getting worse at hiding it!" she hissed through clenched teeth, her canines elongating menacingly.

She was like a bitch yapping at my heels.

And so what? Tell me, ex-Duchess, what the hell do you plan to do about it?" I asked coldly, watching the flicker of shock in her eyes.

"Just because we fucked a few times, you think we're mates? Are you insane? Are you really that starved for love?" I clicked my tongue.

"We're partners, Brenda.

Dont get confused.

No one ever mentioned exclusivity here." "But...

but we..." "We only exist as long as we follow the rules.

And you looked so obedient while we were screwing over Thesiowithout complaints, without stupid jealousy," I stroked her pale cheek.

---- "Dont ruin this, sweetheart, because you are not the woman who can tie me to her bed...

Katherine, are you ready?" T turned and walked toward my sorceress, leaving that she-wolf behind.

I could feel her furious, burning gaze on my back, but I didnt care.

Soon, shed be left to rot.

Aworthless mutt, a brainless beast.

Witches and vampires have always been a more refined step in evolution than werewolves.

"| think I'm ready.

I drew the symbols on the ground," she pointed to acircle of runes.

"smart girl," I smirked, my fingers twitching to graze the tempting curve of her exposed necklineso soft, so pale, so full.

"We can start testing it.

Im not sure if it will work," she stepped away, leaving me wanting more again.

Despite the control spell, 1 knew damn well she felt no attraction toward me.

For now.

That would change later.

"Good.

Then lets begin.

Brenda, stand in the middle of the circle." "No!" she snapped like a fool, and I felt the urge to skin her alive right then and there.

But I still needed heras a lab rat, at the very least, she could serve some purpose.

"T can go first," Kaths voice sounded near me.

I didnt want it to be her.

---- "Brenda, without a witch, we cant do anything.

I swear, if you don't cooperate..." "What?! What will you do? Run off with your whore?!" My eyes flashed red, my body moving at an inhuman speed, and in mere seconds, I had her lifted by the throat, my nails digging deeper and deeper as they lengthened.

Blood trickled down my wrist, igniting my predators instincts.

Her legs flailed in the air, her eyes filled with panic as she clawed at my grip, struggling to free herself.

"If you ever speak to me like that again, I'll rip your throat out.

Do you understand?" I snarled, crushing her with my aura.

"Y-yes...

let...

me go," she rasped, her breathing labored, desperately trying to force her body to shift.

I flung her harshly onto the rune circle.

"Katherine, start reciting the spell!" I stood off to the side, watching as the woman on the ground coughed and clutched her bruised throat.
