The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 34 34 THE FROMISE THE PROMISE VALERIA I felt him freere, his lips brushing against my scarred cheek.

I thought he would withdraw, upset by my rejection, storming off like the ogre he usually was.

But Ive never been able to fully understand the King he remains a mystery to me.

A soft kiss landed on my scarred check, sending a shiver though my sensitive skin.

It felt more intimate than kissing on the lips.

My chest fluttered nervously.

He exhaled deeply and finally letgo.

The coldness immediately invaded my body without his erbrace.

Fine.

I understand your decision and that youre angry.

I wont force you into anything you dont want, he said quietly, and I thought this tic moment was finally over, that he would retreat to his room.

Instead, he walked to the old floral armchair near the bed and sat down calmly, crossing his legs and picking up a sewing book from the bedside table.

What are you doing, Your Majesty ? Is there something else you need? I asked, confused by his actions. No, I dont need anything.

Go on with your business, he replied without lifting his gaze from the yellowed pages.

Youre in my room, I pointed out logically, as if speaking to a fool.

Yes, and ? Im the master of this entire castle, including this room.

Ive decided I want to read this book here now, he said nonchalantly, and I wanted to scream in his smug face and hurl insults at him.

He didnt even look at me, continuing to pretend to read about sewing the book was upside down! Idiot king, arrogant, overbearing, dominant ! Aaaagh, how Id love to bite him! Fine, if he wants war, then war hell get.

Im not giving in to his whims this t.

After all, hes already seen everything there is to see.

I dropped my hands from my chest, letting the soft, worn nightgown fall to my hips, where it bunched up.

My torso was now exposed, and if theres one thing Im proud of, its my full breasts.

I leaned over the chest at the foot of the bed, pretending to rummage as if I had endless outfits to choose from.

I glanced sideways for a second and caught him peeking over the book.

His intense gray eyes burned with heat, testing my boldness and resolve.

I finally pulled out a spare nightgown, but I hesitated for a moment.

Being this brazen without the help of that seductive butterfly was proving harder than I thought.

In the end, like a coward, I turned suy back, intending to change in the bathroom.

13 THE PROMISE Do it here, his rough voice stopped me.

Finish what you started, Valeria, or I cant promise what I might do I was just going to change, sir... Then change, here, in this room.

Or do you need help? N no, I stammered, caught in my own trap.

Ahhh, butterfly, teachhow to be a temptress because Im pathetic at seducing a man! Without turning, I pushed my dress down, letting it fall around my legs and wrinkle at my feet.

Bend over and pick it up from the floor, he commanded in this twisted game.

Wasnt this supposed to be a punishment for him? I bent down, my rear in the air, completely at the mercy of his lustful gaze that burned my intimacy like fire.

Sshh, I heard a perverse hiss behind me, and I quickly straightened, grabbing the spare gown and slipping it over my head.

No, turn around.

I want to see all of you.

Oh no, by the Goddess! What have I done? I turned slowly, frozen in place.

Aldric sat with his shirt partially open, massaging the outline of his erection, visible and tight against his black trousers.

Sitting with legs spread, canines bared, and licking his lips like a predator eyeing its preyHis wolf eyes roamed over me, stopping at the triangle between my legs, devouringwith his gaze Mmm, my, my memories dont do you justice, he murmured, his hand moving faster over his length.

A suspicious stain spread across the fabric.

I swallowed hard.

I was getting too aroused, falling into a gwhere he was clearly the expert and I remained the novice. Breathing heavily and with trembling hands, I finally pulled the gown on and practically ran to my bed, diving under the covers like a frightened rabbit.

I turned to face the wall, curling up and pulling the blanket over half my face, leaving only my hair visible .

My heart raced wildly because of this man who was turning any world upside down I didnt know how much thad passed, but eventually, I fell asleep .

Suddenly, in the middle of my dreams, I felt the bed dip.

The blanket lifted, and a warm body pressed against my back.

His scent surrounded me, and I knew it was him.

His knee sid between my legs, and his hand gripped my waist, pullingtightly against his chest.

Both of us squished into this tiny bed, the King sleeping besidewhen he had a comfortable room and a massive bed of his own.

Provokinglike that and leavinghard will cost you later, rebellious maid.

I hope youre ready for the THE PROMISE consequences, he whispered into my dreams.

A smile crept onto my lips as I pressed closer to the powerful Lycan .

<<< I cant wait to face the consequences, my King.

Im dying to face them.

» Those were my last thoughts before falling into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, he was already gone.

The bed was cold, but I knew he had spent the entire night with me, nearly crushingdeliciously with his massive body.

I got up in a good mood, stretching as I gazed out the small window at the forest outside.

Lowering my hand, something caught my attention.

There was a small red tattoo, round, on the inside of my wrist that hadnt been there before.

I examined it closely.

Among intricate symbols, there seemed to be initials : AT.

I immediately thought of Aldric Thorne.

What has His Majesty done to my body now? Its a blood spell from the King, the housekeeper explained when I asked, driven by curiosity. His Majesty made a promise to you and sealed it with his blood before the Goddess.

It means that if he breaks it, he could even die .

Her explanation surprised me, but warmth spread inside me.

He had promised to be only withwhile our pact lasted.

I apologize for asking you to make the selection.

His Majesty made it very clear tothat its strictly forbidden now she added, studyingwith deep, inquisitive eyes. Of course, she wasnt foolish.

She had clearly noticed that things had changed between the King and me.

Thank you, Housekeeper, I replied, slightly embarrassed.

This letter arrived for the King from the Silver Lake pack Please deliver it to the training/grounds, she said, ΕΠ handingan official letter. I took it and headed to one of the many gyms.

When I arrived and pushed open the door, I was met with an incredible and thrilling sight.
