“Boss isn’t going to like this at all.” “What did you expect me to do? Pick up that disgusting corpse or stay there waiting for the specter?!” “This girl’s lucky—her face is so messed up, even the specter didn’t want her.” I could hear the conversation of what seemed to be two men. My whole…
I had only ever heard of them in children’s horror stories. They were almost impossible to find, and nearly no one had survived after seeing them. Beings of pure dark energy and evil—rotting, murderous magic. Its red eyes, like two deep abysses filled with flames, stared at me from that shapeless face, making me tremble…
The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation novel Chapter 20. VALERIA. “Really? I thought I heard you murmuring something,” she approached me with suspicion. “No, I was just thinking out loud. Did you manage to sort things out with your boyfriend?” I descended the steps and found her sitting on the last one, suddenly bursting…
Chapter 19. VALERIA. I glanced to the side, noticing the Alpha’s daughter had also stepped outside. “Well, His Majesty takes protecting his pack very seriously,” I replied with my best loyal and diplomatic servant voice. She started chatting with me casually, young and carefree. Excitedly, she talked about a night market held in the town…
Chapter 18. ALDRIC. I should push her away completely—distance her from me for good. But the very thought makes every fiber of my being roar in protest. Valeria clearly carries secrets and a painful past. She deserves a good werewolf. Someone who can love her unconditionally. Not a Lycan. Not even Quinn, who seems to…

It’s my fault. No one else’s,” he said, exasperated….
Chapter 16. VALERIA. “Y-Your Ma—” “Don’t even think about it,” Aldric snapped, his voice sharp, and the man’s lips clamped shut as if glued together. I had noticed he preferred to keep a low profile, avoiding the mention of his title whenever possible. The newcomer remained frozen in the middle of the room while the…
Chapter 15. VALERIA The King’s carriage was spacious and comfortable, lined with soft red and black velvet. We had left the castle that morning, traveling along winding roads toward a distant pack. As soon as we emerged from the dark mist surrounding the forest, I tensed slightly, nervously watching out the window. It was absurd…
Chapter 14. VALERIA I couldn’t even catch the scent he mentioned—but of course, he was a far superior species. “How clever… Valeria tasted the food that wasn’t poisoned, but when she covered it with the tray, that blue powder fell onto the food,” the housekeeper summarized exactly what we were all thinking. “Maybe it activates…
Chapter 13. VALERIA He simply carried me princess-style from the bed, and no matter how much I told him I could walk on my own, it went in one ear and out the other. “Hold on tight,” he ordered when I didn’t know how to position myself against his solid chest. Hesitantly, I raised my…
