The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation (Valeria) novel Chapter 472

NARRATOR

She couldn’t control them completely—not without a fight. They didn’t fear her; rather, the light within her called them, luring them to devour her.

Nyx hated every time she had to deal with these creatures. She couldn’t understand how her father and brother could coexist with such abominations.

Summoning her Lightning Blade, she prepared to put the specter in its place. These beings only understood power. But just as she was about to take a step forward…

"That’s enough."

A cold voice echoed from within the shadowy specter, making it screech in agony.

It wasn’t laughing so much anymore. ‘Oh no, the master caught me fooling around! I just wanted to play with the little light!’

Nyx watched as two hands emerged from the specter’s stomach, tearing the entity open as if ripping through nonexistent flesh.

The shriek made her cover her ears, and suddenly, the swirling darkness dispersed, revealing a young man stepping out from within the spectral being.

"I hate when you do this." Nyx scoffed at the dark-haired man, irritated.

His messy, shoulder-length black hair, lean yet powerful physique, and piercing golden eyes gleamed with the cunning of a fox.

"If you hate me so much, why do you keep calling me? I was busy." Laziel’s voice carried nothing but boredom as he eyed his sister.

He had been in the spectral realm, experimenting with some of Uncle Zarek’s dead.

Far more entertaining than whatever nonsense Nyx had to say.

"You’re always busy, Laziel. The busiest person in the whole damn world."

"And?" Laziel didn’t even blink.

Nyx clenched her teeth. Damn her siblings! Lyra, the holier-than-thou, and Laziel, the smug bastard of the specters.

She couldn’t even argue with him!

The sky could be falling, and he would still be calmer than their father—even though Silas was already unnervingly emotionless.

Was anyone in their family normal?!

"Fine. I need you to help us teleport to the De La Croix fief." At Laziel’s raised brow, she had to keep explaining.

"Yes, yes, I know Lavinia is there, but her portals can’t transport so many people at once. And now, on top of that, Uncle Beof and the twin uncles are with us."

"And why don’t you all take a carriage like normal people?"

She supposed it came from knowing he could command the heavens with his power.

Scoffing, she dashed away at full speed, her vampiric speed pushing her forward until she reached the brothel.

As soon as she crossed the protective treeline, her body shifted into a fine mist, flying up to the second floor, slipping through a partially open window.

Inside Madam’s chamber, Nyx noted that everything was in order.

The older sorceress remained asleep in her bed.

With luck, when she woke up, she wouldn’t remember the trauma of being locked inside her own mind—or being "parasited" by another being.

She knew exactly who they belonged to. The moment the knocks hit the door, she commanded them to enter.

"Nyx, did you already change?"

"Just as I thought…"
