The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

----

Itried stepping into the pool to reach him. I hissed softly as the

----

hot water stung my sore center.

. [hurt you..." he took a step back, staring at the thin stream of

red leaking into the water.

"No, no, you just lost control because you want me so badly,

because you're mine and I'm yours." I tried to touch his face, but

his eyes were glued between my legs.

"Drakkar, it was just an accident..."

"No, no..." he started to shift slowly, shaking his head fiercely.

"Pm going to hurt you...

don't deserve you... I'm a beast... I want

to destroy you, Lyra... I'm going to break you completely..."

Each word built a wall between us.

He kept backing away and I just wanted to get closer. I felt him

slipping from me, like everything we'd built was crumbling.

"Drakkar, talk to me, it's the curse, but give me time, I can fix it...

Drakkar, wait, wait!"

Treached out to grab him, but he slipped through my fingers,

leaping out of the pool and running away-from me, from us.

I tried to climb out to follow his trail...

"No, Lyra, stop." Aztoria's firm voice halted me.

"This is worse than we thought. Don't push him today, give him

space to calm down or it' ll get worse."

"aztoria, I don't understand this curse. In a world with so little

----

magic, how can something this cruel exist between mates?"

"T don't know, but if we don't figure it out soon, one of you will be

lost-either the man or the wolf."

Her words filled me with fear.

I needed to find a cure fast, but I had

no idea how to break the spell.

If Nyx or Laziel were here, things would be different.

I'd never envied my siblings' powers-I'd always been proud of

my lycan bloodline-but now... I felt so damn frustrated.

"Guys, where are you? Maybe you wouldn't have even fallen into

this primitive world."

'The worst part? Drakkar was gone all night.

By morning, I returned to our home.

Aztoria said she saw him watching from afar, but he never came

close.

And when I got to the pack lands, he vanished into the forest

again

Thesitated at the door, staring across the plain toward the tree

line, torn between chasing after him or giving him time to come

back on his own,

'Today was the damn competition, and the sun was rising.

Before I could decide, a nasty voice rang out nearby.

"Well, you didn't waste time fucking like a bitch in heat."

I turned to see Verak's furious face. He looked like he'd been

----

waiting at the door.

Twasn't in the mood for peasant drama, so I walked past him

without making eye contact, but he grabbed my arm tightly as 1

passed.

"If you think this is going to scare me off, you're dead wrong. I

don't care if you let him taste you-because when I mount you,

you'll know the difference between us. Drakkar won't win."

He let go, dripping venom, before I could rip out his foul tongue,

and walked off into the pack grounds with firm strides.

"What a pathetic male, your cunt's still dripping with another's

cum and he's dying to get a taste."

Not even Aztoria's vulgarity shocked me anymore.

Doubt dragged through my chest, regret creeping in for being so

impulsive-for letting the mate bond control me when I should've

been patient.

I glanced again toward the wild monster of the jungle.

Thadn't taught Drakkar many tricks, and worst of all... would he

still want to fight for me, or would he hand me over to Verak?
