VALERIA"Boss isn’t going to like this at all.""What did you expect me to do? Pick up that disgusting corpse or stay there waiting for the specter?!""This girl’s lucky—her face is so messed up, even the specter didn’t want her."I could hear the conversation of what seemed to be two men.My whole body felt drained, as if I had pushed beyond my physical limits. I was confused, unable to fully recall what had happened.Adele had tried to deceive me. We fought. That thing appeared, and then…?I was lying across the back of one of my captors, being carried to an unknown location.Even though I was awake, I kept my eyes shut, pretending to be unconscious just to hear more of their conversation."Get her on the boat!"Suddenly, they threw me onto an old boat.I realized I was being taken farther and farther from the King, so I began to fight back with everything I had."So you’re awake now? Ah, you damn woman!""What’s going on?!""She bit me! You’ll pay for that, bitch!"The last thing I

ALDRIC“They were looking for a woman who could read what was written on the Altar. Adele tested all the locals and visitors, but we didn’t even know there was anything written there! I did it to protect my family. You would have done the same!”“I would have asked for help, you idiot! Vampires are the most treacherous creatures in existence! What the hell are the Guardians for then?!” I roared, nearly losing control.This was far more serious than I had imagined.“You handed over a sacred relic of our race, deceived innocent women, and were willing to let them access our secrets! Did you honestly think you or your family would walk away unscathed?!”The man kept crying, repeating that he did it for his daughters, but my patience was gone.My priority now was finding out where they had taken Valeria.“Tell me where the vampires are,” I demanded in a deadly voice.“I don’t know exactly. They were always very secretive. I never met their leader. We met in an old cabin near the lake…”SW

ALDRICSeeing Valeria so wounded and vulnerable was breaking my heart while, at the same time, a relentless rage grew inside me.“He” was fighting to break free—to comfort her, to lick her wounds.I could feel him scratching at my mind, trying to take over.Being so close to losing her only reinforced my fears.She could vanish from my world in an instant, never to return.I scanned the scene—the group of warriors, two naked women clinging to each other, trembling in a corner, a mutilated slave, and another lying dead.The one responsible for all this—a Beta wolf, also naked, reeking of sex, fear, and rot.I let out a low warning growl.“No one moves from here, especially you, boss. I've got your scent, and I’ll hunt you down like an animal if you dare take a step away.”The Beta nodded immediately, his red eyes wide with fear, trembling. Not so cocky now.I carried Valeria a bit further from the carnage.Her small body felt so fragile, curled against my massive beastly chest, her arm

ALDRICA tug at my hair started, insistent."Wait, baby… Nmmm… I just need a second… Shhh…" I lifted my gaze to meet her blue eyes, desperate to come, so damn close."Don’t waste it, I want to taste you like you did with mine. Stand up, Your Majesty…" she whispered, pushing me by the shoulders.She brought two fingers to her lips, sucking them in and out, swirling her tongue, moaning, mimicking a sinful blowjob.I stood up instantly, my cock throbbing, still dripping, never stopping for a second.Her submission, her desire to please me—pushed my dark lust to a whole new level.Me, who needed to fuck at least two women to reach climax, was on the edge from nothing but this.A thick, clear string of precum dripped from my swollen tip onto the grass below.Valeria's eyes widened in awe, taking in the differences between a human and a Lycan's form."Are you scared now? Mmm… Don’t you want to taste me anymore, Valeria?"I teased her, brushing my cock against her parted lips, smearing my le

VALERIAAfter making the boldest agreement of my life, Aldric left and asked the innkeeper to prepare a hot bath.I appreciated the gesture and sank into the soothing water up to my neck, alone in the room, sighing in relief.I didn’t want to think about anything, but as I raised the hand where I had been burned by that strange stone, I realized it was almost fully healed. I touched my neck too—no pain.All my wounds and bruises were healing fast, faster than ever before, except for the most serious and old scars.It was the power of the Lycan, I knew it well.I also remembered all the strange things I had experienced. My memories of the specter attack were hazy, but one thing was certain—I faced it, and I even think it feared me.What am I, really?No one can ever know about this. Absolutely no one.Everyone connected with those creatures and vampires is executed without question.That order had been given by none other than the King himself. And I am right by his side.Aldric can ne
