The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 67 THANK YOU FOR FREEINGVALERIA 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 insidethat 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.

I had learned to trust my instincts, to stop resisting my oddities.

Without thinking or overanalyzing, I ran toward the fight.

Celine, be ready! I shouted in her mind while raising the star in my hand and driving my arm down to stab Edwards shoulder in a sneak attack.

I felt sorry for the pup, but it had to be done.

A blood curdling scream tore from his lips as the dark energy surrounding his body began to unravel.

I pulled him against my chest, clutching his small fras Celine grabbed the shadowy figure of a man and wrenched it from him, like a macabré exorcism.

I hit the ground hard, my head slamming against the stone floor, hissing in pain, but nothing mattered more than THANK YOU FOR FREEINGthe stiff body in my arms.

Edward, hold on! Stay with me, little one! I lifted him and carried him to a corner, away from the danger. Edward... My trembling hands brushed his pale face.

His breathing was barely there, and blood dripped from his lips.

The coldness radiating from his skin pierced my bones, sinking deep into my soul.

He was dying.

No, no, no....

stay with me, little one! Please hold on! I cut open my hand, trying to make him drink.

I wasnt an Alpha, not even a powerful she wolf.

I couldnt heal myself, let alone someone else.

But I did everything I could, desperation and pain consuming me.

Edward, please drink.

You have to make it.

Well play at the park later, okay? Just hold on, Edward.

Dont give up.

please... My tears fell onto his pale face, my blood dripping uselessly onto the dark stone floor.

Thank you... Miss Valeria thank ... you ... for freeing ...... he whispered his last words, and I saw innocent eyes untainted by that filthy evil for the last time.

A faint smile lingered on his lips as his heart stopped forever.

his A guttural sob tore from my chest, pain and rage consumingas I cradled him close, calling his name, though I knew I had lost him right before my eyes.

I blamed myself for not realizing sooner that someone had been using this innocent child.

It was him it was that soulless vampire ! Still kneeling, clutching Edwards lifeless body, I turned to see the fight More of them had emerged through dark rifts in the walls.

There were five of them, surrounding Celine, striking and wounding her from all sides.

She wouldnt hold out ..

Then I saw him.

Emerging from one of those holes, reclaiming the dark energy that had inhabited Edwards body, controlling him like a puppet.

His malicious eyes locked with mine through the shadows, Now youve seen the consequences of playing games with me, Valeria.

Stay right where you are III be back for you shortly, his voice echoed cynically through the chaos.

Valeria, run! Escape while I hold them off! Find my brother! Celines desperate screams echoed in my mind.

But I couldnt process anything.

My whole body trembled with rage, still kneeling, something deep inside methingscreaming to be released, the pain twisting into hatred and fury.

I watched him draw a strange sword, the blade coated in that sdark magic, and he advanced toward Celine, who was now in her massive brown Alpha wolf form, struggling against his men.

Celine, look out! I roared, breaking free from my shock as ock as I saw himm raise the weapon in a cowardly strike En , plunging it deep into her back. 2/3 THANK YOUTOR FREEINGThe agonized howl of the wolf echoed through the eerie basement.

1 already had a corpse in my arms.

I wouldnt let anyone else die because of me.

I couldnt allow myself to be captured I would rather die first.

The red haze covered my vision.

KILL.

KILL KILL A deafening roar erupted from my lips, shaking the walls and rattling the enemies souls.

It cried out to be freed and I no longer resisted what was inside me.

It wanted blood..

And tonight, I would kill again.
