The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 33

MISUNDERSTANDINGS VALERIA The disdainful stares didnt take long to arrive when they eagerly stood , expecting the King , and only saw his ugly maid .

Where is His Majesty ? one of them asked , glancing toward the door that had already closed .

The King cannot come personally .

I will be making the selection .

I dont even know how I managed to get those words out when my throat was drowning in thousands of negative thoughts .

he wouldnt be with anyone else while our deal lasted .

Its unbelievable , the whole jealous spectacle he put on in front of Quinn , only to turn around and do this to me now .

I walked down the line , one by one , as they parted their robes to show me their assets .

All flawless , with perfect curves everything a male could want , I suppose .

I didnt even know his true preferences , so I just picked three , and honestly , they were the least attractive ones .
