The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 67

THANK YOU FOR FREEING ME VALERIA He screams at me , and its terrifying to see Edwards distorted features twisted into cruel , adult expressions .

I reach into my neckline and pull out the star , its sharp tips stained red with my blood .

He extends his small hand and steps closer .

I stretch mine too , trembling .

Something screams inside me that he must not have it , that Ive already revealed too much .

My mind races frantically , trying not to look behind him so dont give away Celine , who is slowly approaching .

I tighten my grip on the relic , the metal shimmering like moonlight .

Just before it falls into his grasp , he tenses and suddenly spins around to face the ambush from the Alpha .

Dark shadows project from the boys small body as he now battles Celine .

So , you managed to defeat my sentinel .

Youre quite a girl full of secrets … I wonder what Aldric Throne would say about this , he mocks I watch in horror as sharp claws grow from Edwards hands , his speed almost impossible to track with the naked eye , and a veil of darkness wraps around his skin .

What kind of dark spell is this ? Celine seems strange too .

I thought she would shift into a wolf , but instead , her eyes have turned blood red , bulging veins appearing around them , and she hisses with long , sharp fangs exposed in her mouth .

NOOO ! I scream in fear when Celines claws slash Edwards arm .

That damn vampire was fighting with the boys body without a shred of conscience , not caring about the massacre because it wasnt his flesh suffering .

I had to do something ! Celine wasnt winning , and I could feel the shadows around us twisting and shifting in the corners more danger closing in ! I looked at the sacred relic , soaked in my blood .

I dont know what madness I was thinking , but light had always driven out darkness .

learned to trust my instincts , to stop

overanalyzing , I ran toward the fight

mind while raising the star in my hand and driving my arm down to stab Edwards

the pup , but it had to be done

from his lips as the dark

small frame as Celine grabbed the shadowy figure of a man and wrenched it from him , like a macabré exorcism

, my head slamming against the stone floor , hissing in pain , but nothing mattered

little one ! I lifted him and carried him to a corner , away from

My trembling hands brushed his

and

his skin pierced my bones , sinking deep into my

He was dying .

no

little one ! Please hold on ! I cut open my hand

wasnt an Alpha , not even a powerful she

couldnt heal myself , let alone someone else

I did everything I could , desperation and

, please

have to make it

the park later , okay ? Just hold

fell onto his pale face , my blood

… he whispered his last words

on his lips as

my chest , pain and rage consuming me as I cradled him close , calling his name , though I knew I had lost him right before my eyes

for not realizing sooner that someone

was him it was that soulless vampire ! Still kneeling , clutching Edwards lifeless

them had emerged through dark

, striking and wounding her from all

wouldnt hold
