The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation (Valeria) novel Chapter 473

NARRATOR

"Uncle Beof, this… was to help you find your mate. Look how happy you both look." Nyx answered with a not-so-innocent smile.

"You and I will talk later. And every single one of your accomplices—I already have a good idea who they are. So, a Madam of a brothel, huh?" Beof still couldn’t believe she had lied to his face—and even given him advice on top of it!

"Love, they did it for me. I was the one at fault... "

"There’s no time for this." Nyx cut off her friend’s sappy moment with the Guardian.

The scent of mating was getting to her, making even her wolf uneasy about being too close to the freshly marked pair.

"Your parents and mine are heading to the De La Croix fief."

With those words, the entire room tensed.

Including Beof, who was now fully realizing just how much explaining he’d have to do to his mate’s father... for deflowering her in a brothel room, without even offering him a formal greeting.

"I’ll go pick up the lycan twins, then I’ll track you in the forest. I won’t be long."

Beof ushered them out of the brothel, which was only just waking up. The "workers" gave it their all at night, and by day, they recharged their energy.

Before leaving, Beof pressed a deep kiss to Amara’s lips.

"Don’t worry, baby. I’ll talk to your parents. Everything will be fine." He reassured his mate before heading out.

"Eee… Vicky will be with the twins," Amara added, offering a sheepish smile.

"Of course, because she had to be involved too." Beof huffed—apparently, no one had been left out of this conspiracy.

Amara watched his broad, muscular back disappear into the distance, his powerful strides carrying him away.

"Here, this is yours. You earned it with such hard work." Nyx handed over the promissory note, smirking as Amara’s cheeks turned crimson.

"Several clients complained last night about the noise. Good thing I’m not the actual owner—otherwise, you’d have to pay for the room’s damages, you little minx."

"Laugh all you want, but I’ll have my revenge when you find your mate. Let’s go." Amara grabbed her by the arm and dragged her toward the forest.

"Besides, Beof already left the brothel’s profit margin, it’s more than enough." She murmured, mostly to convince herself.

Deep in the Forest…

Before long, they reached the heart of the woods, where they found the sleeping beauty.

"Pft, should’ve known. Laziel still falls asleep anywhere."

Amara saw him resting peacefully. It had been a while since they’d seen each other… and she couldn’t resist a little mischief.

"What the hell are you doing?" Nyx scolded her mentally as Amara crept toward her brother.

Despite being a lycan, she could move like a shadow—her steps silent against the grass, pure predator instincts in motion.

Laziel wasn’t the kind of guy you could mess around with.

And his sense of humor? Buried somewhere deep in his third eye… or his asshole.

Amara rubbed her wrist where the specter had grabbed her. The redness was already fading.

She knew that Laziel hadn’t really seen her as a threat—otherwise, she’d be dealing with more than just a light bruise.

At least her brother was helping them.

"Isn’t she your mother too?" Amara teased, now that the bad impression of her "joke" was passing.

Just as Nyx was about to fire back a sarcastic "Laziel’s adopted" retort, footsteps approached in the distance.

And soon, four more guests arrived.

"Guys!" Amara beamed at the red-haired twins. It had been ages since she’d seen them.

The twins were constantly off on adventures in the Elemental Realm, leaving more than one elemental girl swooning over them.

Amara took a step forward to greet them... But a deep, threatening growl stopped her dead in her tracks.
