The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

---- Hours later, Aztoria started calling for me.

Lyra, Im all dirty.

Lets go to those hot springs.

She suggested, and I agreed.

The scent of danger still lingered, marking the place, but after Drakkars massacre, the jungle had calmed down.

We entered the narrow cave that led to those wonderful pools.

Aztoria and I shifted back, and I finally sank into the healing water, staring with bittersweet feelings at the spot where I had been with my mate.

Lyra, | feel a strange energy deeper inside this cave, Aztoria suddenly said.

strange energy? Why didnt you sense it before? { wasnt in top shape back then, and besides, it was obvious you were too busy checking out my mans big cucumber.

Iwas speechless.

What the hell was I supposed to say to that? Let's see what it is.

I stepped out of the pool, walking across the hot ground, leaving behind a trail of wet footprints.

The deeper I went into the caves darkness, the more suffocating ---- the atmosphere became.

Still, I didnt stop, because now I could feel the strange energy coming from deep inside the mountain.

The cave split into two.

I kept alert and moved through the narrow passages, following my instincts.

The tunnel opened into another chamber, and I had to cover my face to keep the heats steam from burning my skin.

Abright light stabbed into my pupils.

I was inside a chamber with a huge hole above, opening directly to the clear sky.

Lyra, is that what | thinkit is? Aztorias excitement came through our bond, and | instantly understood why.

It wasnt just the cracks in the ground releasing steam and making me sweat like crazyit was the glowing spots embedded in the walls.

Tts Gaia! I shouted in excitement, stepping toward the nearby wall and running my hand across the black crystals.

Their magical energy sparked, resonating with the magic inside me.

This mineral was too important.

It had been found in the lands of the old Dark Realm and was believed to amplify the power of magical beings.

---- An elemental was the one who discovered it; they were way more advanced in crafting weapons and tools.

As supernatural creatures, we never had to build those kinds of artifacts.

Why would we, when our bodies were already the best weapons? Lyra, if we manage to forge a weapon, itd be amazing for Drakkar! Aztoria had the same thought as me.

My eyes shifted to the white steam rising to the clouds.

This whole cave was a natural forging furnace.

I didnt know the exact process, but we could give it a try.

{ have to find him now.

We cant do it alone, I said, rushing back, full of excitement.

I grabbed my clothes by the springs and got dressed quickly, running through the cave until I reached the main one.

But my head was spinning with so many thoughts, focused on how to make the weapon, that I didnt notice the other presence near the cave Until I slammed right into the hard chest of a man.
