The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation romance Capítulo 136

VALERIA

“Aldric,” I gently caressed his forehead, my hand trembling with emotion as he leaned forward and softly kissed my belly, where our little one was growing strong and tenacious.

“I’ll ask my mother about the Selenia bonding ritual. Let’s do it, my mate. I want you to mark me forever—my heart has been yours from the very beginning.”

He nodded, and his overwhelming joy reached me.

I smiled and stepped barefoot onto the ground, enjoying the soft grass between my toes, feeling like I had the best company in the entire world.

We hid our clothes in the hollow of a tree, and I took off running through the forest, laughing like a little girl.

My body shifted, my human legs transforming into four swift paws, dark fur sprouting from my skin.

The little Omega wolf fled playfully from the enormous Alpha chasing her through the ancient forest, heading towards the sound of the ocean waves.

On the horizon, the orange rays of the sun signaled the approaching night.

We soon arrived at a small, secluded beach, with crystal-clear waters and soft, light-colored sand.

"Do you like it? We found it by accident yesterday while you were napping."

"I love it, Aldric! It’s beautiful!" My eyes sparkled with amazement.

This was an incredible sight. The sea always amazed me—it was one of the most breathtaking things I had ever seen in my life.

I was eager to dive in, but I wasn’t sure if there were any dangers.

"There’s no danger, we already checked it. But I’ll go first just in case." He read my thoughts as we moved forward, my paws sinking into the warm sand heated by the sun.

The salty breeze ruffled my fur, and I took a deep breath, closing my eyes in delight.

"Pfts, Azarot won’t stop saying I should tell you he was the one who found it for you," he said in annoyance.

I looked to my side, amused by my wolf’s starry-eyed expression, eagerly awaiting praise. I moved closer, licking his snout affectionately, then nuzzled his neck, rubbing our heads together with love.

"I’m dying to talk to him. I think after the Selenia ceremony and the permanent mark, I’ll finally be able to," I confessed, feeling his soft licks on my ear.

His tail wagged happily from side to side.

"He’s dying to talk to you too, babe. If I let him, I’d have to be his interpreter all day," Aldric grumbled, and I laughed.

"Let’s try the water!" I suddenly exclaimed, lunging toward the shore. He followed closely, and when the water touched my paws, I tried to splash him.

"Let’s shift back," I told my wolf, both of us restless since Valeria had closed off our mental link.

We knew she was close—we could feel and smell her—but being disconnected from her drove us insane.

"Why should we shift? I can protect her better this way."

"Shift back already, damn it! Can’t you just do things without arguing?!"

"Who the hell made you the boss here?! I'm not shifting a damn thing—I’m staying like this to defend my mate!"

"AZAROT!"

"Guys… I’m ready," suddenly, my Selenia’s nervous voice reached us from nearby.

Azarot and I instantly raised our heads and fixed our gaze in her direction—only to be left completely speechless.

"Do you like it?"
