The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation

---- "state the name of the person you wish to challenge, dear guest," the Druid's vibrant voice called from the stage. Tlooked his way-and Aidan was watching me, even stepping forward slightly. Did he really think 'd pick him? Pfft. «Not giving you the chance to reject me this time, frosty vanilla» Without breaking eye contact, I said the name of my opponent "{ choose to fight Beta Vincent." Ha! Right in your snobby little face.noveldrama

His brow furrowed hard-he looked like he wanted to freeze me with his aura. Too bad that didn't scare me at all. But when I turned to look at the Beta... Amber was the one who looked scary. What the hell? Why was she staring between Vincent and me like that? "T... [just want to test his power, that's all..." I even felt the need to defend myself. 'Was she jealous? Her eyes narrowed, sizing me up, giving me goosebumps. Vincent whispered something in her ear, and she relaxed a bit.

From the murmurs around me, I finally got it-and almost backed out. These fights... they were kind of for flirting. Especially with ---- females challenging the males they liked. That's why the Alpha had suggested fighting me. By the way, now he was watching me like a sad puppy from the crowd. "J accept the challenge," Vincent's serious voice finally came, and he stepped toward the open ring.

1 looked back at Amber and snorted a laugh when I saw her pointing two fingers at her eyes, then at me, like «I'm watching you.» She was such a kid-spoiled and clearly adored by her people. "For the record, I just want to see what your power's about," I said to the Beta when he was a few feet away. "No need to explain," he replied, straight and to the point. Yep, definitely another one of my dad's team.

'What are the rules?" "Whoever gets a dagger or their fangs to the opponent's neck first wins," he said, locking eyes with me. "Don't think I'll go easy on you. I can feel your power-it's not something to mess with." His sharp instincts impressed me, and I appreciated the respect. Then his dark eyes drifted over my shoulder. I knew he was looking at Aidan. Maybe even talking to him mentally. ---- "Let the first battle begin! Ready yourselves!" the Druid called, and I focused on the fight.

"gol" With that shout, I saw the Beta's muscular body shift into a midnight wolf, tearing through his clothes and unleashing his aura in one violent blast. Shit. He was dead serious.
