The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 31

VALERIA IS MINE VALERIA I froze at Quinns words .

He kept deciphering the message , but my mind could only think about what the King must have felt when his children were murdered , and he had to take his mates life with his own hands .

I know all too well that soul crushing pain that leaves you wanting nothing but death .

Aldric had it even worse I didnt carry my baby in my womb for long- He held his pups in his hands and loved his woman .

She didnt betray him like I was betrayed .

She didnt deserve to die .

She was his mate , so he had a companion , surely a beautiful female who shared his bed , his dreams , his life .

Someone he truly cherished .

Someone who bore his children .

Why did I feel so bitter inside ? I raised my hand and touched my scars .

I had never cared about them before , but now , comparing myself to a poor deceased woman , all kinds of insecurities tightened around my heart .

« Idiot , how can you even compare yourself to her ? Aldric will never see you that way .
