The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 68 THE CURE FOR MY DISEASE CELINE I thought my thad cto die I honestly never imagined it would end like this.

An agonizing pain tore through my wolfs back, forcingto shift immediately into my hybrid form, with svampire traits, hissing menacingly from a corner, surrounded by cruel enemies.

1 pressed my hand against the deep wound that piercedfrom my back to my stomach, enduring as best I could, but I wouldnt survive if they attacked again.

Suddenly, a blood chilling roar echoed, reverberating through the ancient walls.

Just like me, everyone turned in unison to witness something unbelievable ..

Valeria was rising from her dark corner, the rigid body of that child lying lifeless on the ground as she advanced, step by step, hissing like a predatory beast about to strike.

S Sir..

what is that? Its just a mangy bitch trying to intimidate us! Stop playing hero, or Ill kill this woman worse than I did the brat ! the vampire in charge shouted, but I could feel the fear thickening the air.

Aaaahhh! The first of them screamed as Valeria emerged from the shadows, tearing his head clean off with sharp, black claws that had grown from her nails.

In an instant, pandemonium broke out inside the sanctuary of the Goddess.

I cowered against the wall, watching her with fear.

What exactly was this woman? Her aura had completely changed it was oppressive, suffocating, making you tremble with pure terror.

Just looking into her crimson eyes, like two drops of blood, ethereal and filled with hatred and darkness, sent. shivers down my spine.

Bulging black veins circled her eyes, trailing down her unnaturally pale skin to her neck.

Valeria moved like the shadows themselves, a dark mist cloaking her entire body like a black shroud, becoming her ally.

The screams of those vampires filled the chamber as blood splattered the walls and floor.

They had been impossible forto defeat, yet she was slicing through them like butter, ripping out their hearts and crushing them in her fists.

She moved so fast that sometimes I couldnt even follow her with my eyes, and soon, almost no one was left standing.

My gaze shifted for a moment to the vampire in charge, who was hiding behind his men and now running toward the childs body.

What was he planning ? A flash of silver caught my eye as I saw him from across the room, pulling the relic from Edwards shoulder where it was still lodged.

He was trying to escape with it! I straightened up to shout at Valeria, but I froze as she appeared behind him like a messenger of death.

He felt her presence too, spinning around quickly to attack with that dark energy blade he had summoned the THE CURE FOR MY DISEASE sone he had used to wound... Valeria stopped it with her bare hand.

Her long black claws sparked against the vampires energy.

He tried to threaten her, shouting nervous insults as his arms shook with the effort, but Valeria seemed completely unaffected.

She just stared at him then, suddenly, her lips curled into a sinister sinlle, sharp fangs emerging from her gums The deadly blade began to dissolve between her fingers, vanishing as though its darkness was being absorbed by Valeria herself.

The vampires face, like mine, contorted with shock and disbelief.

It cant be ... you...

you cant be her ... her daughter... he stammered, terror flooding his eyes.

Dont kill! Ill serve you ! Ill help you take the throne ! Il be your slave ! he screamed, shifting into a submissive stance, even starting to kneel.

But Valeria seized his throat at lightning speed, slamming him against the wall and strangling him.

The vampires feet kicked wildly, his hands clawing desperately at hers, trying to pry off the deadly grip sinking into his neck A high pitched, bone chilling shriek escaped Valerias lips makingshiver as every hair on my body stood on end.

From the shadows swirling around her back, two massive wings unfurled crow feathers as black as the void, each tipped with sharp, talon like barbs.

I curse you so the Goddess will never welcyou into her embrace.

May you wander as a lost soul through the wastelands of darkness, she declared, her voice unearthly, guttural , almost inhuman.

AAAAAHHHHH ! The massive wings beat once, scattering dark feathers into the air, and the sharp barbs lashed down again and again, piercing the vampires chest as his agonized screams echoed, his blood splattering across Valerias face and body.

I could feel the strength of that man he was overwhelmingly powerful, capable of rivaling my brother, an elite Lytan.

How was she making his death look so easy? It was over in a minute.

Silence fell once more in the underground chamber, broken only by my ragged breathing and the pounding of my heart.

Valeria, I called softly as she stood there, seemingly confused.

She finally reacted, releasing the vampires broken corpse Her fury had been so intense that shed torn him apart She leaned down, taking the relic from his lifeless hand, then turned toward me.

I was scared I admit it.

Of this woman I had once thought of as a weak omega.

Her aura was suffocating, overwhelming, and I had only known one other who could paralyze you with such sheer THE CURE FOR MY DISEASE power Aldric, the Lycan King.

I remained trembling in the corner, head bowed, unable to theet her eyes, just hoping I wouldnt be next. Suddenly, the relic was tossed at my feet, and a strong gust of wind swept through the chamber, forcingto shut my eyes against the dark energy swirling violently agah.

A dull thud madeopen them.

Valeria ! I screamed when I saw her collapsed on the floor.

I finally approached, fearing she was dead, but she was breathing slowly, yet alive.

However, that strange transformation was fading far too slowly.

Celine, hold on! Both of you, resist! Im almost there, but the King sensed Valeria was in danger and got ahead of me! My brothers voice echoed in my mind, makingflinch in fear.

No, no, no.

The King cant see Valeria like this.

If he does, hell kill her on the spot.

I dont know what she is, but something in my blood screams that I have to save her that shes too important ...

and maybe even the cure for my affliction.

I glanced around in desperation and spotted a dark passage hadnt noticed before.

It could be another way out of this place.

Wasting no time, I clenched my teeth and lifted her.

My wound, still bleeding and healing far too slowly, would have to endure somehow.

Con, Valeria.

Helpagain.

Please, helpsave you I nearly begged, clutching her as I draped her Theras arm over my shoulders, holding her firmly around the waist. I dragged her along, and as we passed the vampires remains, I spat on him in disgust.

The life of an innocent child had been lost because of his selfish plans.

I kept moving, silently praying to the Goddess in my heart.

I could already feel the Kings presence closing in, so summoning every ounce of strength I had left, I pulled Valeria through the dark corridor leading to the unknown. The smell of dampness grew stronger, and a faint light appeared when I turned a corner in the tunnel.

It seemed to be a drainage outlet leading to a waterfall ..

Indeed, when I finally reached the end, sweating and breathless was faced with a pointless pointlar no return a drop into the deep waters of a nearby waterfall. What do I do? If I jump, we could both fall to certain death Valeria was unconscious, and I was injured.

I looked at her pale face sof those dark veins still visible, though slowly fading back to normal.

A lycan roar echoed from the Altar room, makingglance back into the dark tunnel with dread I trembled, paralyzed by indecision.

The icy breeze and freezing water sprayed against our bodies, making our hair whip wildly at the edge of the abyss.

Aldric was closing in.

Suddenly, a raven cawed sharply in front of us, its wings flapping, wildly, suspended over the waterfall.

BE THE CURE FOR MY DISEASE It was the sign I needed to make my decision.

I hurled myself over the edge, clutching Valeria tightly in my arms as we plunged into the void.

The dark waters swallowed us whole, roaring in my cars.

The current pulled us relentlessly, but I refused to let go, clinging desperately to the hope of survival.
