The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation romance Capítulo 48

VALERIA

I ran without thinking twice toward the small park.

I didn’t know anyone here, but I simply couldn't stand by while watching a child's life in danger right before my eyes.

"Valeria!" Aldric's voice thundered behind me as he realized I had moved away from his side.

I reached the spot where the pup lay on the ground, blood flowing from the deep wound on the back of his head, matting his brown hair into a sticky mess.

"Hold on, little one. Stay with me," I whispered, pulling the handkerchief from my pocket and pressing it firmly against the wound to stop the bleeding.

I held him against my chest, trying to turn him slightly. My hands trembled, terrified he might already be dead.

He was pale, with round cheeks, and barely breathing.

"Edward!" I heard the voice of that murderous man nearby and lifted my gaze, seeing him rush toward the child's body with a look of concern.

"Don't come near him! I saw exactly what you did!" I shouted, clutching the boy protectively against my body.

He feigned shock, but in the depths of his blue eyes, frustration and anger were clear.

"Valeria, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, please save this pup—he's badly hurt!" I pleaded, my voice cracking as Aldric knelt beside me, checking to see if the child was still alive.

"Edward! What happened to my son?!" The Alpha's roar echoed as he approached, pulling the boy from my arms.

Now I knew—he was the Alpha’s son.

Could that be why the other young man had tried to harm him?

"My boy… my boy! Garret, give him blood, quickly!" The Luna arrived, hands covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

The Alpha tore open his arm right there and began feeding his blood to the pup.

I watched as the child’s tiny lips began to move slightly, and a sigh of relief escaped me.

Goddess, if I hadn't seen this horrible act, that little one might have died.
