The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation novel Chapter 276

NARRATOR

Mérida stepped out of the house, a lantern hanging from her old hands, and when she saw them in the state they were in—covered in wounds, dirt, and blood—her eyes widened in shock.

"For heaven's sake! What happened to you?" She rushed over to examine Sigrid.

Her skin was burning hot, trembling, and drenched in sweat, her eyes shut tight as she endured excruciating pain, constantly battling against Electra.

"I need you to heal Sigrid with your herbs! HEAL HER NOW!" Silas roared uncontrollably, darkness cloaking him entirely, on the verge of breaking free from the restraints of his sanity.

He was begging for help from an elemental healer when, with his own magic, he could heal wounds.

But he knew he couldn’t keep her trapped inside Electra’s body.

He didn’t know how to wield that kind of magic—he only knew destruction and combat. He wasn’t a real mage, nor did he possess such abilities.

"Calm down, calm down… Don’t feed her here, it’s too dangerous. It’s better to take her insi—"

Mérida’s words got caught in her throat.

She abruptly looked up at the starry sky, her brow furrowing.

A flash of lightning illuminated her aged pupils.

Something was approaching fast—and it was powerful. Even she could feel that magic, brimming with fury.

"You can’t stay here. You can’t fight this close to the village, or you’ll end up destroying everything, and besides, you’re in no condition. Come on, follow me."

"No! I have to feed her now to strengthen her—"

"I’ll take you somewhere safer! Don’t be stubborn!" she shouted, grabbing his arm and pulling him along.

Silas hesitated for a moment.

He knew they had been followed—that Queen Selenia was closing in.

He had to protect Sigrid no matter what; he couldn’t lose her.

But he was also terrified of leaving her unguarded, of letting his guard down even for a moment and having her vanish from his sight.

Better to hide her for a moment, maybe both of them, and recover.

It was the smartest choice.
