The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation novel Chapter 445

NARRATOR

And just like that, a casual conversation about why he got rid of his two fanatics.

"Do you want me to give you a medal for your good deed?" Sigrid didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy for their deaths.

"I want that reward, and you know it very well."

"Silas, control yourself and talk to the Dukes," the Selenia shot back, rolling her eyes. He needed to leave her ass alone.

She stepped away for a moment to have the bodies removed and to check on the unconscious commoner.

"I... I don’t know what to say." Katherine was speechless, just like everyone else.

What the hell had just happened? The way everything had taken such a drastic turn was unbelievable.

"First of all, Duke of Everhart, I know very well that you haven’t harmed anyone in this Realm." Silas locked eyes with the beast.

Elliot listened from within his lycan form, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

From the moment he had watched his greatest captor’s head roll so effortlessly, something inside him shifted. The man who had tormented him for so long, wielding power over the Realm and keeping the fear of exposure constantly hanging over his head, was gone.

If he had ever doubted the lethal nature of the Phantom King, now he was absolutely convinced. Silas was walking danger.

"Vorath, we need to change back. We have to handle this differently."

"Wait." Silas’s cold voice stopped him immediately. "Shift somewhere hidden. If you show yourself naked in front of my mate, I’ll cut your... "

"Ahem." Sigrid cleared her throat, stepping back into the conversation just in time.

She really couldn’t leave her man alone for even a second. Subtlety just oozed out of him… except he didn’t have a single damn pore.

"The girl is being taken care of. Some soldiers took her away, and they’ll make sure the onlookers clear out," she whispered to her mate, who immediately grabbed her hand and laced their fingers together.

Vorath, after a lot of persuasion from Katherine and Elliot, finally relented. He let out a heavy sigh and, after throwing a sharp warning at Silas, slipped behind some bushes to shift.

"I’ll get him some clothes." Quinn removed his cloak. "Beof, take this to him."

The bulky guardian wanted to ask why the hell me, but he held his tongue, grabbed the garment, and disappeared into the trees.

Before leaving, his gaze flickered toward Katherine one last time.

It was better to stay away from that woman. She was nothing but trouble.

Katherine also watched him pass, feeling that strange sensation again, but she let him go without digging deeper.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesties. Honestly, I had no idea about my lineage. This is a surprise." The Duchess of Everhart admitted the truth.

If her father, who had always been obsessed with power, had known the golden prize that had fallen into his hands, he would have never gotten rid of her mother.

Katherine was barely processing all this new information, but her newfound pedigree didn’t go to her head. They had a mission to accomplish today.

"I wanted to ask for your generosity once more and make a request." She bowed respectfully. It was now or never.

"You want to leave this Realm, don’t you?" Sigrid guessed right away.
