The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 10

ATTACK IN THE FOREST VALERIA Its not like I have much to pack .

On the bed , I make a small bundle with a few old clothes youve donated to me and , most importantly , the money the King gave me .

Thats all I have to survive .

Shielded by the night and the darkness , I wander through the corridors , glancing around fearfully , clearly intending to escape .

I reach the kitchen and search for the back door obviously I wont risk leaving through the main entrance .

When I glance at the counter where the Kings meals are served , a surge of anger rises in my chest .

Why would they do something like this ? Who could be so cruel as to send an innocent woman to certain death ? The maid who helped the one who cut her hand is my main suspect the one who had the opportunity while I was distracted .

Perhaps both of them are working together .

I step out into the inner courtyard and run toward the gate where the carts with supplies and goods enter .

The forest welcomes me dark and menacing .

Its frightening , and I have no idea where to go now .

I think about shifting into my wolf form and simply running far from these lands .

However , fireworks echo in the distance , coming from the Backs lands , drawing my attention and deepening the Indecision in my chest .

I have nowhere to go .

Maybe theyre still searching for me out there .

And if not … what would I become ? Just a rogue without a pack , bait for any scum to abuse me or sell me as a slave to an even worse pack .

Maybe the housekeeper can help me give me another position if I explain everything to her properly .

Shes far more rational than the King I gamble everything on that decision and start following the stone path down the mountain toward the valley where the Golden Moon pack lies .
