The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 55

SHE IS MY MATE ALDRIC When Larrived at that square and didnt see Valeria , my blood ran cold .

I immediately tried to call out to her through the bond , but she seemed too far away .

I followed her scent like a madman until we found the Alphas sons wheelchair abandoned in an inner courtyard .

Some people shared bits of what they had heard or seen .

She was in trouble again reckless , chasing after a stranger I knew she was doing it for the pup , but risking her life like this , exposing herself to danger , made my blood boll with the urge to bend her over my knee and spank her for her foolishness .

Valeria , I wont punish you if youre safe .

I swear I wont even scold you just please , stay alive .

I begged in my mind , running at full speed through the pack , nearly shifting into my beast , leaving the Alpha struggling to keep up behind me .

But when I reached that decrepit house , I could feel the rats escaping through the back .

I didnt have time for those men I would hunt them down later .

Right now , the overwhelming scent of Valerias blood made my soul tremble with a fear I knew all too well .

The terror of losing someone I loved .

VALERIA !! I roared , storming inside , searching for her only to see that dark hole where she lay dying at the bottom of the abyss .

I jumped without thinking , landing hard on the worn floor , which creaked under my weight .

I fell to my knees beside her immediately .

My trembling hands went to the wound in her chest , where a rusty iron rod protruded , impaling her body .

Dont speak , little one

, even if it costs me my life , I promised her , though inside ,

removed the iron from her chest
