The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation

---- My father didn't even have time to stop him. We all stared at the black vortex of energy tearing open by the fireplace. Ghostly hands on either side pulled at reality, like ripping paper down the middle. I recognized it right away: a portal opened by magic. Lavinia's scent hit me full force... and another one, far too familiar, that brought instant tears to my eyes.noveldrama

"If I'd taken one more second, you would've done exactly what I warned you not to." The serious voice of the woman with chestnut hair and reddish eyes echoed from the darkness. I saw her appear-and it was like I hadn't seen her in forever. Her stern look toward Dad softened the moment she saw me behind my overly protective mate's giant frame. "Mamal" I ran toward her, and just like always, she was there with open arms. "Thank the Goddess you're alright.

My little troublemaker..." she sighed, hugging me tight. ---- It didn't matter how wild I was, the messes I made, or how many headaches I gave the vampire prince-my savior had arrived. She forgave me for everything. She was the only one who could calm the serial killer that lived inside dark Zarek. Her warmth always made me feel at home. "Mami, how did you even get here?" I lifted my head to see her closely. I kissed her cheeks over and over. Something felt different-her scent... it was off.

"Are you really gonna interrogate me right off the bat?" She raised an eyebrow, glancing at the wolf standing in the middle of the office. My father walked toward us, still brimming with hostility. "Victoria, right now the three of you are going to explain what the hell happened here," my mother Celine finally said. She pulled me from her chest, grabbed my shoulders, and stared me down. Shame burned hot across my face again.

---- I glanced sideways at the ancient vampire who looked at me like I was a criminal Uh-oh... Can we skip the part where Dad found me with my pussy being eaten by my mate? Yeah... that part... and a bunch of other messy, sinful details in my crazy story... «Mama, I swear I'm innocent!»
