The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation

---- 180. ONLY YOU CAN CARRY MY NAME AIDAN "AAGGRRR" A groan of pain escaped through my clenched teeth. My jaw was so tight the muscles pulsed, ready to burst. In a second, I went from ecstasy to agony, but it was a pain I was more than willing to bear. I never imagined Nyx would want to mark me from the very first time. Her father made it damn clear tonight that this was an honor very few Selenias granted... and now I understood why. A hoarse howl slipped from Vlad's lips.

looked up, Theo blazing in my pupils. That's when I saw her. Emerging from Nyx's back... the manifestation of my mate's Selenic magic. A dark entity, hooded, faceless-but I could feel it judging me, deciding whether I was worthy, if I deserved her... ---- The chains binding me turned golden, deadly, and they burned into my skin like molten iron Its hand, with razor-sharp black claws, started stretching toward me. "Aahhh!noveldrama

No, go back, go back!" "DON'T STOP HER, NYX, DON'T FIGHT IT, MY LOVE!" I roared, throwing myself over her body, holding her tight. I knew she was calling in her mind for her mother, her grandmother, begging them to break the spell. She did it on instinct. But I wanted it. "You could die, Aidan... I don't want to! I can't watch you die!" she sobbed, struggling. "I won't die! Mark me as yours, Nyx. Brand my heart-I beg you, baby..." I shut my eyes and let all the love I had for her flow freely.

I isolated my pain so she wouldn't feel it through our mate bond. "Aidan..." her broken voice called to me. "Do it, baby. Have faith in your man." ---- I felt the exact moment she willingly gave herself to the ceremony. "He's mine! Don't you dare take him from me!" I heard her scream at the very embodiment of her magic. But that being had a judgment to pass. It had been unlocked- and no one would stop it, not even Nyx. "AAAHHH!" I roared inside my mind as the claws sank into my back.

My magical soul beat wildly, blood burst out of every pore. It lunged at me with no mercy. My whole body convulsed, and my wolf's aura exploded outward. I would endure-no matter what. Winter magic was my greatest weapon. As my primal spirit, my soul, was pulled from my body, I began freezing every wound, every collapsing artery. I trapped us both inside my winter realm, this frozen world where no one could steal my seal.
