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 .

, everything

incredible speed , closing around my neck

… its me … Your Highness … Valeria , I stammered , thinking he didnt recognize me , but as

like those of a wild animal , with massive fangs bared , capable of tearing my throat out in

, Overwhelming fear gripped me as 1 saw the raw fury in

DID YOU DO TO ME , VALERIA ? !! YOU DRUGGED ME ! I TRUSTED YOU , AND YOU DRUGGED ME ! His guttural voice

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

blurred , and I felt I would lose consciousness any moment

to respond , and tears began to stream

as much as I could , panicked , begging him

my neck was unbearable , and I was on the

when I thought I would die

as if my lungs would burst ,

lantern fell , the flame extinguishing instantly

against the wall

pinning me down completely , naked , his burning , sweat soaked skin

me ? Its too late

would fuck you ? Ill fulfill your desires , he whispered roughly into my ear , his voice dangerous , sharp , as his hands yanked

, its not like that ! … Please … No … I tried to resist , but his rough hands slid my gown up over my hips , setting fire to
