The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation romance Capítulo 179

VALERIA

"Baby, are you uncomfortable? Does your belly hurt?"

"No, I'm just a little tired. I haven’t slept well, worried about you guys," I murmured, stroking the furry chest of the massive black lycan carrying me effortlessly through the woods.

He lowered his enormous head, pressing his wolfish nose against my neck, tickling me as he inhaled deeply.

I pinched his pointed ears lightly, my heart settling because he was by my side.

Aldric kept moving, carrying me with him. Ever since he came back, he had been in full obsessive mode, and I wasn’t complaining.

We had stopped to rest several times in the wild, and by dawn, we were nearing the lycan camp.

I saw the large tents set up outside a cemetery, and in the distance, the intimidating, dark castle filled with my worst memories.

"Your Majesty, we’ve been waiting for you. How is the Queen?" Beof approached with several wolves to receive us.

By force, I had gotten used to being called the one in charge.

"I'm fine, Beof, thank you," I answered for myself, feeling a bit embarrassed to be carried like a princess in my massive lycan’s arms.

"Aldric, put me down, love..."

"Beof, we’re heading straight to the castle. Start packing up the camp—we’ll be leaving soon. I’ll give you my signal."

Aldric completely ignored my request to put me down and instead gave orders to his men before stepping through the iron gates of that eerie cemetery, which creaked open with a spine-chilling groan.

"Behave yourself in the meeting. No growling like a beast," I warned as his massive paws crushed the withered grass, the white mist swirling around us.

"Funny, considering how much you love when I take you like a beast and growl in your ear in bed. I thought that drove you wild."

He licked my mouth with that wolfish tongue, and I stared at him, baffled at when exactly the cold-hearted lycan king had become this shameless.

"I almost forgot—now that you're busy protecting the pup, you're going soft. Guess I’ll have to find another scratcher soon, one that’s more active."

"Valeria!" he actually roared in my mind, his animalistic eyes narrowing with fury at the mention of another scratcher.

"When we get home, I want to see if you keep up this attitude. Keep challenging me, and you have no idea what the consequences will be."

He bit my bare shoulder before soothing the spot with a slow lick.

His thick fur sent shivers through me, his powerful arms tightening around my body, and the spark of desire ignited in my belly.

Maybe I got infected by that weird little thing that was always begging for sex.

"Promises, promises… I want to see if the consequences will really drive me crazy."

"Shameless."
