The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- Katherine stared at her as if she had grown another head.

Was she ---- hallucinating again? "You are also a descendant of Drusilla De La Croix, the mother of the first Elemental Regent.

It seems her bloodline branched into another family that inherited the remnants of her magic," Sigrid explained.

By now, it was clear that Silas hadnt erased all the power flowing through that babys cells A fraction of that energy had passed down through a family of witches.

Katherine suddenly remembered the commoner who had come to the palace, the one who had nearly died, the one who had taken her own life after giving birth, the one who had loved that mysterious man That man was supposed to be the next Regent.

A descendant of witches, hidden among elementals.

The greatest irony of this Realm, built on hatred, was that both its cherished King and its honorable Regent carried supernatural power in their veins "T won't let abominations take over the Realm! I will defend my familys ideals!" A furious scream cut through the confusion.

Somehow, Maxwell had managed to get his hands on the weapon he had used to silence his lover.

Consumed by boundless hatred, he aimed at Katherine and fired without hesitation.

---- If she was dead, they would have no choice but to choose him.

It didnt matter what the King said.

Only his family was worthy.

BAM! The gunshot echoed.

The bullet tore through the air.

A lycans roar rang out as he shielded his mate with his body.

But Voraths actions were unnecessary.

The bullet stopped midair, floating in a swirl of dark mist, as if held by an invisible hand.

Maxwells wide, horrified eyes watched as the bullet spun, changing direction, searching for a new target.

"Nooo!" He tried to run, but with a sharp whistle, his own attack struck him square in the forehead, piercing through his skull.

A gaping hole revealed the bloodied mass of his brain His resentful eyes locked onto Silas one last time before his lifeless body collapsed to the ground.

Everything went still.

Just like that, the reign of the royal family had come to an end.

"Well, he brought it on himself, didnt he? I was just protecting the defenseless Duchess.

I didnt act rashly at all," Silas murmured, leaning in close to whisper into Sigrids ear.
