The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 70

SUSPECTS ALDRIC I stare into the panicked eyes of this Alpha Ive never particularly liked her , but her brother is a valuable member of the Guardians , and now , who can read those Altars .

the only one Why were you carrying Valeria as if you were running away ? I know you heard my lycans roar why the hell didnt you wait for me and instead put her in danger again ? I tighten my grip around her throat , anger boiling inside me as the memory flashes back seeing them being dragged by the current when I reached the drainage outlet .

I hadnt even thought before jumping in after my mate .

S Sir … I I was injured from the fight … I was scared more of those dark holes in the walls would open again … that more enemies would come and kill us before you arrived ….

acted on impulse … I panicked and jumped without thinking … Her voice stammers , and I lean in closer , watching her trembling , erratic eyes .

When I arrived , I clearly saw the shadow of a man escaping through that same wall opening she mentioned .

So , her words made e some sense .

She reeks of dark energy , my wolf growls under his breath .

With him fully awake , my senses sharpen things I couldnt smell before are painfully obvious now .

Lowering my gaze , I examine the ugly wound across her stomach , tainted with dark magic .

It looks like it was inflicted by an enchanted weapon , which would also explain the strange scent .

What happened to the bodies ? How did you discover the Altar and involve Valeria ? What were you doing there with her in the first place ? She remains silent for a few seconds , and the longer she hesitates , the more convinced I am that shes hiding something Answer me right now , Celine ! Dont make me command you ! The bodies … I … The boy was bewitched .

He tricked your maiden .

I- Enough .

Aldric … The soft , weak voice of Valeria suddenly draws my full attention .

I turn instantly , releasing Celine , and rush to Valerias side as she struggles to sit up from the ground .

Easy , baby .

Easy Dont strain yourself .

Does it hurt anywhere ? Nift her gently , pressing her cold , fragile body against my bare chest .

She feels so delicate in my arms it makes my heart clench .
