The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation novel Chapter 158

CELINE

I finally managed to speak, but I couldn’t say anything more, couldn’t reveal anything else, even if I wanted to.

I thought he’d be angry, but instead, he gave me a sinister smile that sent shivers down my spine.

"I know, you're bringing clever rats into our home, but it doesn’t matter, baby. Your husband is the deadliest predator of all—I’ll gut them for you," he grinned, his fangs gleaming dangerously.

I wanted to step back, but his arms wrapped tightly around my waist, pulling my head against his chest protectively, my entire body melting into his.

This man radiated danger from every pore, and he wasn’t even physically here. Yet, in his embrace, I felt like I was in the safest refuge imaginable.

"I’ll do everything you ask, but I wonder… what do I get in return?" he whispered after a few seconds.

"In... return?" How did the atmosphere change so quickly? I was getting nervous now. "W-What... do you want?"

"You know very well what I want, Celine. I want to devour you completely, little mate. I've never felt such thirst in my life."

His breath mingled with my ragged one, his lips erotically brushing against mine.

"I’ll take an advance on what you owe me."

Before I could process anything, he assaulted me with a deep and delicious kiss.

His mouth moved dominantly over mine, his tongue invading, wreaking hot havoc in my mind.

His hands cradled my ass, lifting me onto his waist. Taken by surprise, I clung to his shoulders and wrapped my legs around him.

The world spun, the illusion shifted, and I found myself falling onto soft cushions.

Above me, that sexy vampire was sucking on my exposed breasts, making indecent sounds.

He gripped my hips tightly, grinding sensually between my spread legs as if we were making love.

I swear I could feel the exhilarating tingle of his cock thrusting into me, slow and delicious, over and over, stretching my folds and striking that sweet spot that drove me insane.

Our wet bodies increased the hot and fluid friction, the hisses and moans blending with the mist in the air.

His fangs sank into my left breast, sucking lasciviously.

Instead of hating it or being afraid, I ended up crying out hoarsely, closing my eyes in ecstasy, coming harder than ever, trembling from pure pleasure.

My own vampire fangs emerged, my claws dug into his skin, and the need to mark this man as mine overwhelmed me—the urge to drink the blood from his heart until I was sated.

I had always hated this part of me, because of what that damn vampire did to my mother, because of what they represented, because they condemned me to live in constant pain.

"I’ll make you love the beautiful and sensual vampire you repress; she’s mine. Your untamed she-wolf is mine too. Everything belongs to me. They are all incredible and unique because they are part of you—the most precious part to me."

His voice filtered through my orgasmic haze, sending butterflies fluttering in my belly.

I opened my eyes to find him staring at me deeply. I knew none of this was real, so many questions crowding my confused mind.

The next morning, I woke up with the feeling that I had forgotten something important. I wasn’t sure… maybe just a dream.

But there was one clear idea in my head, and with it, I left my tent, heading toward my mate’s.

I found him organizing the guard shift for the warriors.

"Good morning, Celine. Did you sleep well?"

"Be ready tonight. We’re going to the castle, but you have to go alone. I can't get everyone inside, or Zarek will suspect, and the plan will be ruined," I interrupted him, and he was silent for a second.

Surprise flashed across his face before he masked it with his usual indifference.

"Fine, I’ll be ready tonight to take control of the castle."

"Well, well, things have turned out much better than I imagined. That woman is a real gem, my dear!" I squeezed Laila’s cheeks, laughing euphorically. "I never imagined she’d be Prince Zarek’s mate, and now she’s leading that idiot Dante straight into our trap."

"Mm, that lucky hybrid. What I wouldn’t give to be the mate of such a powerful Ancient," she pouted in dissatisfaction, but I didn’t have time for her nonsense.

"Come, come, let’s plan this carefully, and call Mirlo immediately. Gather all our forces—tonight, we’ll assassinate the vampire leader who’s coming alone, and we’ll take control of the castle and the Dark Realm."
