The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 29

Chapter 30

COMPLICES VALERIA After making the boldest agreement of my life , Aldric left and asked the innkeeper to prepare a hot bath .

I appreciated the gesture and sank into the soothing water up to my neck , alone in the room , sighing in relief .

I didnt want to think about anything , but as I raised the hand where I had been burned by that strange stone , I realized it was almost fully healed .

I touched my neck too no pain .

All my wounds and bruises were healing fast , faster than ever before , except for the most serious and old scars .

It was the power of the Lycan , I knew it well .

I also remembered all the strange things I had experienced .

My memories of the specter attack were hazy , but one thing was certain I faced it, and I even think it feared me .

What am I , really ? No one can ever know about this .

Absolutely no one .

Everyone connected with those creatures and vampires is executed without question .

That order had been given by none other than the King himself .

And I am right by his side .

Aldric can never discover my oddities .

www I rose from the bathtub and grabbed the towel from the screen along with my clothes , ready to change .

The moment I stepped out , drying my hair , there was a sudden knock at the door .

I answered confidently , thinking it was the innkeeper coming to empty the tub .

I froze when I saw Guardian Quinn standing there .

Y Your Excellency ? What are you doing here ? I asked , surprised , then realized my rudeness .

Why ? Am I interrupting something between you and the King ? he asked bluntly , stepping inside without waiting for an apology , his sharp gaze immediately scanning the bed and my clothes .

I felt judged .

His tone was cold , nothing like the sunny Lycan he usually was .

Of course not , Your Majesty has gone out , I replied respectfully , lowering my gaze but matching his coldness .

After a few tense seconds , he sighed .

I apologize , Valeria .

Im frustrated by other matters and took it out on you .

Im here because the King called me , he explained , and I nodded without holding a grudge His Majesty is likely handling pack business .

You can find him at the Alphas house , I informed him .

No , Im more interested in the Goddesss Altar he mentioned in his message .

I want to inspect it .

Would you take me there ? I saw no reason to refuse .

Honestly , I wanted to see it again too .
