The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation novel Chapter 464

BEOF

I felt my chest tighten. Damn it, it hurt—the disappointment and the insecurities I had fought so hard to bury were rising to the surface again.

I hated not being a normal wolf. Why did the Goddess have to make me like this?

Soul fell silent, no longer urging me to take her. He could feel the turmoil in my soul.

"I won’t take her for the first time. This was a mistake," I said, closing my eyes in exhaustion and sighing.

"Wait, I didn’t tell you to discourage you. If she chose—"

"You did the right thing by telling me," I cut her off, lifting my head and ending her anxious rambling.

Of course, she must have thought her golden goose was slipping through her fingers.

"I’ll still pay, don’t worry. You’ll get your cut, and she’ll get the 10,000 gold coins when you send her. I’ll sign the promissory note," I said, stepping toward the desk, ignoring the pang in my chest.

"You’re giving that much money to a girl you barely know without even touching a hair on her head?"

She didn’t need to say it—I could hardly believe it myself.

"Just goes to show how generous I am," I replied curtly as she filled out the document.

That beautiful woman was so desperate for money that she was willing to sacrifice herself by sleeping with me to get it.

She must have noticed I was a Guardian. Everyone knew the nobility had resources, so she had thrown out this insane bait.

Maybe someone in her family was sick. Maybe she needed it for something urgent. A thousand possibilities raced through my mind.

"Beof, are you sure we won’t regret this decision?" Soul asked me in a low voice as I pressed my signature onto the document.

"If anything, this was too good to be true," I replied bitterly.

"And what if she stays here and gives herself to another man?"

"That would be her problem. I gave her a chance at a new life, a chance to find a good male she actually loves. I hope she takes it."

"Alright, in less than three days, one of my servants will come with the money. Or, if you want it faster, you can go to King Lycan’s castle with this note to collect it," I said with a frustrated huff.

"I’ll wait for your servant," she replied with a nod.

My cock had half-softened, hanging low in disappointment.

The urge to fuck wasn’t as strong anymore, but I was already here, and who knew when I’d have another night alone without the twins glued to my ass all day?

"I’ll rent another room anyway. Send me two of your most resilient girls," I told the madam.

Her twisted expression made it clear she wasn’t pleased.

She had just made a fortune for doing nothing, and I was still using the brothel’s services—what the fuck else did she want from me?

"Are you sure about this decision?"

"Do you have more girls for me or not?" I snapped.

"Yes, yes, I’ll call them for you to see… "

"No. I already told you. The most resilient ones, that’s all that matters."

I turned and left, pissed off.
