The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation romance Capítulo 173

CELINE

I scanned the warm and elegant room with my eyes.

Heavy burgundy curtains covered the large windows, and only the crackling fire from a beautiful golden fireplace beside the bed cast light into the chamber.

I looked up at the ceiling, decorated with paintings of men and women in the forest, with two massive golden chandeliers adorned with crystal embellishments and unlit candles.

Everything here was so exotic and beautifully ancient, just like its owner.

I sat up and observed the soft white robe draped over my body.

Someone had changed me, and I knew very well it was him—he wouldn't have let anyone else do it.

I bit my lower lip, countless thoughts running through my mind as I placed my bare feet on the plush dark carpet.

My steps led me straight to a large standing mirror in front of the massive bed with white sheets.

I looked at my reflection and remembered everything that had happened, all my actions, and how I had even tried to kill my mate with that dagger.

"Come out already, don't act shy now," I felt her lingering in a corner of my mind, while Mía, already standing, growled at her threateningly.

Her bloody aura immediately invaded my senses, the irises of my eyes shifted to crimson, but I was the one in control of my own body, and this time, my vampiric transformation didn’t fully take over.

"I'm not going to lock you away anymore, not as long as you obey me and understand that Zarek is mine. I decide if I want to share him with you or not, and that goes for both of you," I warned.

I don't know why, but somehow I feel jealous of my other selves.

Mía growled at her, she hissed dangerously, and I could sense that this union wasn't going well—two dominant beings, two powerful forces inside me.

I hope my mate can help me with this.

I placed a hand on my head; it ached slightly.

"As long as you don't lock me away again, I won't make it difficult for you. I just want to be with our mate, I only want to help you, Celine... that’s all I've ever wanted."

I heard her voice and remained silent, accepting that it was the pure truth.

My Alpha wolf side had always dominated, while Camilla was always hidden. But my vampire powers had saved my ass more than once.

"Mía, calm down already."

"I don't like it."

"She helped us, whatever the reason. You couldn’t handle the spell, so shut up and deal with it!" I roared at her in frustration. She growled softly but then calmed down.

I was tired of fighting against myself.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and I tensed. I inhaled the air and relaxed at that comforting scent.

I walked quickly and turned the handle.

"Celine!"

"Brother," I let him embrace me tightly, almost suffocating me. I hugged him back as if I hadn't seen him in ages.

After a few seconds, he let me go and began examining me from head to toe while scolding me.
