GoodNovelChapter 215 VALERIA My mother takes a deep breath; it seems like what she's about to tellis very difficult for her. For sreason, I can already imagine it.
"T killed him during our bonding ceremony," she lowers her head, and her knuckles are nearly white from gripping the chair.
"Tt wasn't because of my lack of control over my magic.
It was because the vampire side ofis dominant, and in the frenzy, I couldn't stop myself...
I literally drained his blood until I killed him." Aldric and I remain silent.
What can you even say to that? It unsettleseven moreif something like that happened to my mother, who was so powerful, could I end up hurting my mate? "I'm not a vampire; I'm a superior lycan, the Lycan King.
No matter how much my mate drinks, I have more than enough life force for her and our pup.
Besides, Valeria's wolf side is dominant," Aldric responds firmly.
Suddenly, the atmosphere grows tense.
I lift my gaze and spot a shadow hiding in the corridor.

He's listening to my mother's reasons, probably the real fear behind why she doesn't want to give her new mate a chance, despite her current weakened state.
"Well, it's my daughter's decision.
I'm just telling her the facts.
I don't want her to suffer what I did, holding her mate's cold corpse in her arms," my mother replies, frowning.
"Vale, the enchantment will appear in your mind when the tcomes.
It's best to do it during the new moon." ---- "Thank you, Mother.
I'll think it through carefully," I reply softly, and she nods, standing up.
"I'm going to rest.
We can continue practicing tomorrow.
Eat well." I stood up to help her, but she toldshe'd go aloneshe had memorized the way to her room.
I watched her lonely figure walk away.
What was the point of having so much power if, in the end, she lost everything that truly mattered to her? "You told her about what we discussed," Aldric's low voice reaches my ear from behind.
I tense up because I don't want to talk about that right now.
"No, she was tired.
Maybe another day," I turn around, avoiding his inquisitive gaze.
"Valeria, I know you.
I don't like pressuring you, but I know you're torn between the two of us.
I gave you my reasons, and I thought we were on the spage..." "Aldric, we can't let this realm fall into the hands of another tyrant.
This is my mother's land; she won't agree to live among the wolves." "But why does it have to be you who claims that throne you don't even want?" he questions again, irritated.
"You don't want to be the Queen of the Dark Realm; you're not even interested in the reign I offer you.
Why don't you tell her to stop chasing a crown you don't desire? Why do we have to fight this war?" "Then what do you suggest?" I step back slightly, placing my hands on his chest.

Our daughter is going to bea Seleniawill she live marginalized her whole life in your castle? Do you think the wolves will accept a creature from the Dark Realm as their ruler?" "Anyone who dares touch my daughter, I'll rip their throat out, simple as that!" "Not everything can be solved that way, Aldric!" I snap back, feeling the tension of everyone pullingin different dire ctions.
"And then there's the portal.
Gabrielle can't hold it forever.
I know what her plans are.
We need the strength of both realms united to fight, or else we'll all die." He falls silent at my words.
Aldric is very strong, but he's not invincible.
The werewolves alone can't fight what will escape from that prison once the Selenia magic weakens. "T'll talk to her, my love, but givetime.
Aldric, I don't want to be the Queen of anything I just want to live in peace with my family.
But at the very least, we need to ensure that whoever takes the throne I of the Dark Realmis an ally, not an enemy. I caress his cheek, and he wraps his arms around me. "Alright, we'll do whatever you want," he replies, sighing and kissing my hair gently.
"T haven't heard from Beof yet, and that worries me.
I hope Celine can reach him safely; then we'll figure out what to do. 1'she hasn't summonedwith the magic I placed in her.
