The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation romance Capítulo 76

VALERIA

Waiting for me right in front of the open clearing of some old stone ruins, with a blue flag fluttering at the top.

“So, the team captain managed to make it to the end,” he said mockingly, standing up casually from the stone he had been sitting on.

The faint rays of sunlight illuminated his irises, alternating between reddish and gray tones.

His wolf was close to the surface, baring its canines, snarling at me. I didn’t need a wolf spirit to see it.

I moved forward slowly. This was an enemy I would never defeat by brute force, so I had to use the best strategy.

For now, I growled threateningly, testing if there was any chance I could slip past him between his legs.

“Keep growling, kitten. You have no idea how hot it makes me to see you acting tough,” he said, his voice husky and challenging as he adopted a combat stance, legs bent and arms ready for me.

“Come on, Captain, let’s finish this. The ‘valuable’ members of your team sacrificed themselves to get you here!” he spat, dripping venom into the words “valuable members,” filled with hatred and obvious jealousy.

I decided I’d rather burn than surrender, so I ran in a zigzag, distracting his attention from side to side.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of a small hole at the base of the tall ruined wall, and I dashed toward it.

The hole was close. For a second, I dreamed I could reach it and slip through, but it was just an illusion.

I barely felt the gust of air before powerful arms caught me, and Aldric held my little wolf tightly against his chest.

As I struggled, the precious flag finally fell to the ground.

It didn’t matter. I would never win if he didn’t want me to, so I decided to implement “Plan Seduction.”

I whimpered pitifully, as if he were hurting me, and sure enough, his grip loosened slightly, relaxing the iron grip that pinned me to his body.

“Don’t pretend, traitorous wolf. You know damn well I wouldn’t hurt you,” he said, stroking the black fur on my back.

I lifted my head and gave him my most coquettish, helpless look, my blue wolf eyes meeting his intense gaze.

“If you had chosen me, you would have won. Why didn’t you include me on your team?” he asked, almost childishly, and truthfully, I wanted to laugh in his face.

I loved every facet of this fierce man, who showed me every day that he had a soft spot in his heart too.
