The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation

---- She struggled in the tangle. "Quick, Marius, let's get out of here!" I reacted at the sound of Edgar's shout, the good servant who had arrived just in time. I got up with his help, and we started running. But something told me we wouldn't get far. I clutched the worst wound in my stomach, sweating cold, my vision blurring. "Where are you going?! Let's get back to camp for help!" I yelled when I saw him take a different path. "Are you insane?!

I barely made it out alive; those undead you created rebelled, like Sophie, and were killing everyone. I barely managed to get that girl out." ---- Of course. How hadn't I thought of that? That damned Victoria had played me until the last second, but something in Edgar's words didn't sit right. In fact, I didn't even know what he was doing here when he was supposed to go to the vampires' stronghold to deliver a message for me.noveldrama

It seemed he had already returned when he found the massacre at our camp. I had wanted to join the vampire stronghold, to tempt them with the power to raise the dead, although now... that card was useless to me. "What girl... are you talking about?" I panted as we ran, stumbling over roots in my path. "That sorceress! Taking her nearly cost me my life. She's over there!" And yes, I noticed he was also injured, though in better shape than me.

He pointed ahead, where the trees opened to a clearing, and there the girl sat against a tree. She struggled to stand and, I suppose, to escape, but she was still too weak. "Grab her, and let's run to the vampires' walls! They agreed to ---- hear us; it's the only way we can escape those undead." Edgar shouted, and we both rushed to hold her by the arms. I clenched my teeth as I lifted her onto his back. "Let... me...

go..." "Shut up!" I slapped her with all the fury I felt to silence her mumbling. My ear twitched, and terror gripped my heart. They were chasing us. "Go, go!" I roared, and we ran once more, fleeing from death.
