The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 8

ALDRIC OUT OF CONTROL VALERIA A strong scent of wine assaulted my senses , making me feel slightly dizzy .

My senses were dulled , and for some reason , my body began to react as if an unbearable heat was consuming me from within .

A heavy steel and wood door blocked my path .

From the other side , I could hear growls and sounds like something or someone scratching the walls or the floor .

Aaggr … Upon recognizing the Kings voice for a brief moment , I finally decided to enter perhaps he was in trouble .

However , I wasnt prepared to find him naked and nearly unconscious , kneeling on the hard stone floor .

His hands were restrained above him by heavy steel rings anchored to the ancient wall , and thick chains held him captive with powerful , rusted shackles around his wrists .

The Kings breathing was labored , as though he were enduring intense pain , and his muscular body was drenched in sweat His red hair hung damply over his face , which was tilted downward , obscuring his features in the dim light .

Sir ! I ran toward him without thinking , scared , foolishly believing someone had captured him .

I didnt fully understand the situation , but it was obvious he wasnt well .

I set the small lantern to the side our only source of light and knelt before the King Your … Your Majesty , how do I free you ? What should I do ? My trembling hands reached for the heavy shackles , trying to pull them open with useless tugs .

They were heavy and clearly forged to contain this powerful man .

The skin on his wrists was raw and bloody .

suddenly , everything changed

speed , closing around my neck , squeezing me almost to the point of

, I stammered , thinking he didnt recognize me

those of a wild animal , with massive

the raw fury in his gaze ,

ME , VALERIA ? !! YOU DRUGGED ME ! I TRUSTED YOU , AND YOU

inches apart , and all I could do was shake my head as my hands grasped at his , desperate

, and I felt I would

I didnt … DE ALDRIC OUT OF CONTROL ONLY A WHAT YOU SERVED ME

respond , and tears began to stream down my face

as much as I could , panicked , begging

unbearable , and I

I thought I would die , he suddenly released me

cold stone floor , clutching my neck , coughing violently as if my lungs would burst , my throat burning

to escape

wouldnt stay here to be killed ! Forcing myself

was terribly wrong

behind me as the lantern fell , the flame extinguishing instantly , plunging us into darkness where the beast

scraped against the wall and

floor , but now a massive body was pinning me

to escape from me ? Its

you give me the aphrodisiac so I would fuck you ? Ill fulfill your desires , he whispered roughly into my ear , his voice dangerous , sharp , as his hands yanked at my long coat , leaving me only

that ! … Please … No … I tried to resist , but his rough hands slid my gown up over my hips ,

didnt know what was happening to me
