The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- Katherine nodded as hurried footsteps rustled the leaves on the grass.

Elliot appeared, looking somewhat decent.

Beof was gone.

He had left on his own, returning to his homeland.

There was nothing left for him here.

"My mate is pregnant.

We dont harm anyone, but the hatred in this Realm is too much.

We wont survive here," Elliot said without ---- hesitation.

"'Thats exactly why we need you," Sigrid decided on the spot.

Inher mind, she asked Silas for permission.

After all, he was technically the King.

"T never wanted to be anyones King.

They put me on that damn pedestal.

I just want to go home, Sigrid.

Tell them whatever you want, but lets go already.

You havent rested." That was his answer, simple as that, tossing all responsibility aside like it meant nothing.

"We dont understand...

need us for what?" Katherine clutched Elliots arm, feeling cold and nervous.

Something wasnt right.

The Duke tightened his hold on her waist.

"This Realm is now without leadership.

To be honest, your King has no interest in ruling anything." They all turned to Silas.

He simply nodded, confirming Sigrids words.

"Dukes of Everhart, as the rightful descendants, you will take charge of the Elemental Realm and oversee the dealings between species." Silas made the decree, handing off responsibilities he had no intention of keeping.

And what if we refuse? What if the Realm doesnt want us?" Elliot wasnt convinced.

How would the elementals accept a lycan and a witch as their rulers? They will because I said so, and you" ---- Silas," Sigrid cut him off.

Goddess, he had less tact than Uncle Zareks undead soldiers.

Duchess of Everhart, in the lands of the Nocturne Realm, the ruins of the De La Croix fief still stand.

Your family of witches did not survive, and the land has remained uninhabited.

You are the rightful heir.

You can reclaim it and live in our Realm.

You are welcome there."" Sigrid met the womans conflicted gaze.

Katherines eyes drifted to Elliots.

What were they supposed to do? They could seize power over this Realm or become just another pair of supernatural beings in an unfamiliar and complicated territory.

"You will never be alone.

You will always have us and the guardians.

The Kings of Nocturne want cooperation.

We will protect the elementals, things will work out, but we need trustworthy people on this side." With those words, Sigrid sealed the fate of the Dukes of Everhart.

They were now the new Regents.

"Thank you, truly, for believing in my innoce...nce." Katherine had taken Sigrids hands in gratitude, but her words began to fade.

suddenly, it wasnt the Selenias smiling face she saw.

She saw her writhing in pain, panting and screaming on a bed, legs spread wide.

Blood covered the sheets.

Innocent cries echoed in the air.

---- she was giving birth.

Sigrid was giving birth to extraordinary creatures.

"Katherine!" Elliots voice rang in her ears.

He was right next to her, calling her name, worried as he watched her drift into a trance.

But Katherine clung to Sigrids hands as her clairvoyant magic forced her to witness an incredible vision of the future.
