The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 53 KIDNAPPING VALERIA I dont know what kind of mystery the King is hiding this time.

I just hope hes not plotting another one of his tricks to trapin his Casanova games.

Miss Valeria, I need to pee, said the timid voice suddenly, tugging on the sleeve of my dress.

Now? Can you hold it just a little longer until your father arrives? I asked, but he shook his head, fidgeting anxiously in his wheelchair.

Oh, Goddess, how do I solve this now? I thought about taking him behind sbushes in the forest, but when I asked the woman sitting next to me, she mentioned there were public bathrooms nearby.

1 grabbed Edwards wheelchair and we headed that way.

It was located on a street near the square, at the end of a narrow alley.

But when we arrived and I saw men coming in and out of an old wooden door marked Public Restroom, I ran into another problem.

How was I supposed to enter a restroom full of men? It was impossible, so I decided to take him to the womens restroom next door instead.

Wait, I cant go in there.

Mom says boys cant enter there, he stopped me, seeing my intentions.

But Edward, I cant enter the mens bathroom, thats why suggested waiting for your dad .

How have your managed to pee other times with your mom? I asked, and he explained that the only thed come, a servant from the mansion had taken him, but today it was just the two of us.

He was adamant he wouldnt go into the girls bathroom.

Ugh, this whole motherhood thing wasnt always fun, and I was starting to draw attention, standing in the middle of the area with my peculiar face.

Miss, I can help with your pup.

I have mine withtoo.

Its hard for females to take boys to the restrooms, said a man, smiling as he stood next to a boy around ten years old, who was curiously watching Edward.

1 hesitated for a moment.

Edward didnt seem well known, and no one was staring at him like he was the Alphas son .

Maybe they didnt recognize him because he rarely left his mansion on the hill .

I would really appreciate it.

Ill wait right here, I said, handing over the wheelchair, though I felt a bit uneasy.

Still, the man didnt seem suspicious, and he had a child of his own.

I rubbed I my hands together, standing at a corner nervously as people entered and exited the restroom.

I hoped I hadnt made a mistake.

When I finally saw the man return with his son, I scanned the area but there was no sign of Edwards wheelchair. Where is Edward? I asked, my heart pounding with dread a terrible feeling creeping over me.

KIDNAPPING.

Your pup? I thought he was already with you.

His father cin and said hed take care of it, the man explained, pointing toward the restroom.

His father? His father hasnt been here ! What did he look like ? I demanded, and the man described someone tall, with black hair nothing like the Alpha.

No, no, I dont know that man! Wheres Edward? Wheres the pup? I left him under your care! I shouted, my voice trembling with both fear and anger as panic consumed me.

Im so sorry! I really thought it was his father.

The boy didnt protest or say anything when he took him out through the other door.

They left through the alley exit, he replied, his face now pale with guilt.

What?! Theres another exit ?! I gasped, and he nodded, shwritten all over his face.

Without thinking twice, I dashed into the mens restroom like a whirlwind, racing through the long corridor while men shouted insults and complaints.

I didnt care.

My eyes only searched desperately for the open door at the far end, leading into a dark alley.

The cold night air hit my face, but I couldnt feel anything other than sheer panic.

Have you seen a child in a wheelchair around here? The only thing Ive seen is a shameless woman! How dare Vosman you enter the men's bathroom? Disgraceful spat a woman, pointing a judgmental finger atI didnt even bother responding to her nonsense, my heart racing as I kept searching frantically in all directions. Suddenly, the caw of a raven echoed above me, makinglook up in hopes it might guideas it had in the past.

Yet, it only circled above my head, a sign I couldnt quite understand Please, has anyone seen a man with a boy who has leglissues? The boy has brown hair and blue eyes ! Yes, I just saw someone like that heading down that alley, finally, spassing townspeople pointed in a direction toward the square. Without thinking of the danger, recklessly, I rushed into the narrow corridors of a pack I barely knew, pushing deeper into a tight passage that opened into a small courtyard.

Edward! Stop, you damn kidnapper ! That child is mine! Help! Somebody help! I screamed desperately, hoping sneighbor would assist when I finally spotted the pup struggling against .

mans grip, who was trying to pull him out of his wheelchair.

No one had tto react, though slights turned on in the nearby hoisted houses, Edward. The bastard quloky Poly Edward over his shoulder, toppling the wheelchair, and bolted down another alley, away from me. I chased after him, panic overwhelming me, completely focused on Edwards safety and not realizing how dangerously deep I was going into unfamiliar territory.

At last, I saw him from a distance, entering a half abandoned, old, crumbling house.
