The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving novel Chapter 251

251: Burn them all

Arianna stepped further until she was fully in the moonlight.

“You were saying something about the silver–haired devil?” Arianna crooked her head gently. “Well, here I am.”

Damaris stiffened. The rogue army behind him began to murmur,hifting without noticing, while some licked their lips with craving.

It’s the full moon, after all. The urge could overcome the right senses.

But those who knew the story behind the familiar female standing before them felt their breath hitch.

“Remember what you said the last time, Damaris? That the King lost himself trying to protect me. That you swore to protect the Moon Realm. That the realm deserves better, and I, Arianna Greystone, will not be part of it. Even if I keep trying, there will be no place for a devil…” she raised both hands gently, “…like me.”

Damaris‘ jaw clenched.

“A devil, huh?” She scoffed. “I wonder if we have the same definition. You’re about to raid and kill the ones you claimed to protect.”

Damaris‘ tongue clicked, other hand clenched as he released the Lycan in his hold and fully faced Arianna.

“You think coming back here and giving me some speech is going to change anything?” he growled, eyes glowing faintly beneath the moonlight. “You’re still the same selfish, cursed bitch that ruined everything. If you weren’t born, the realm would still be safe.”

Arianna smiled.

“And yet you’re still the same coward,” she said softly. “Still hiding behind scars because you can’t stand the weight of your own choices. I’m no longer the woman trying to fit in… I write my own story now.‘

Damaris‘ nose flared. “You fucking bitch.”

Arianna ignored him and faced the army, voice rising.

“”

“I’ve come to end the war. To save everyone trapped in the evil scheme of the real devils. I’ve come with the real cleansing, something I’ve been doing for a while now, as you’ve heard.” her voice stood firm. “Those who are on my side should come stand behind me. I’ll give only one chance to decide. Don’t blame me for whatever comes after.”

Damaris laughed. “You think they’ll listen? You have no army and you’ve just walked into a death trap! You think you can save the realm from what’s happening tonight?” His eyes glowed faintly. “Guess what, devil. Your pack, the Ravenhood, is among the list we are raiding tonight. If I were you, I’d run back to save them. But it’s too late now, because they’ll have gotten to them already, tearing your people apart. Either way, you’ll die a worthless death And it will be my pleasure ending you first.”

The old werewolf beside him scoffed, earning a look from Damaris. Then the old male did a daring thing….

Gave Damaris a ridiculing look and then walked to stand behind Arianna. So did seventeen others, all were among the survivors

of the recent war.

“She is the true Queen, not a devil,” the old wolf said, voice firm. The real devils are the ones sending us to die because of old scars. That should stop. I’ve seen proof that she will end this massacre. The realm has suffered enough. Join us and be free from this tribulation!”

Arianna waited, watched them glance at each other while Damaris raged within. A smirk dancing on his face.

The young soldier who had pleaded with Damaris earlier asked Arianna in tears and a shaky voice, “Will… you really end this? Promise.”

“I’m not here to make promises. But let me ask you the same thing I asked these soldiers who joined me without hesitation. Will you die for the freedom of this realm, soldier?”

The young male glanced at Damaris then back at her. He nodded.o end this. To protect the innocent. I don’t mind dying.”

Arianna smiled softly. “Then you have my word.”

The young male didn’t wait, and neither did some of the soldiers, as if they’d been waiting. Including three rogues, Ones who yearned for freedom after years of learning from the last mistake.

“One last chance. Whatever comes after shall be because of your foolishness.”

“You think they can trust you?” Damaris finally said. “What make you think you can go against us? We are more than you are.”

“If I can take more than five thousand men..

A sudden blast echoed before Arianna could finish. The soldiers flinched. The shot was meant for her head, but a raise of her hand halted the dangerous blast mid–air.

Her silver eyes glowed sharper as she completed, “…then you shouldn’t be a problem.”

Arianna directed the blast back to where it came from with a wave of her hand. The blast slammed into the werewolf hiding behind a tree in the shadow far to the right side, killing him.

A flicker of unease passed over Damaris‘ features. Some rogues stepped back without warning.

“Is there anyone else I should consider?” Arianna whispered to the old soldier beside her.

“No, my Queen. The ones who need saving, including the three rogues, are right here with you.”

“Take them somewhere far. Go now.”

The old soldier turned and repeated her command.

“We leave her?” the young soldier asked with wide eyes.

“We trust her. No more questions and trust me,” the old male’s voice lowered, “you don’t want to see what will happen to

them.”

With that, they all began to leave the perimeter, disappearing into the woods.

Damaris chuckled, breaking the silence. “Interesting. I thought this fight was going to be boring after all. You think that simple ability can take us down? You even sent your soldiers away. These are hundreds of rogues here under the full moon. That pride of yours isn’t going to help you beat us.”

“Oh,” Arianna raised both hands. “I’m not going to be the one to attack you. I made a promise to Dun. I won’t physically get involved or he’ll have a heart attack.”

She went to sit on a large rock, legs crossed as if excited to watch a show. “I’ll let the other part of me handle you guys.‘

Before Damaris could process her words properly, the earth shook beneath them. Trees weaved at the brutal wind, some

crushed.

Then came a sound, a guttural rumble that vibrated the core of the earth.

The air shifted.

Heads turned. Hearts dropped. Eyes widened.

ろり

At each approaching thud, the earth trembled. The rogues shifted without knowing, sweat soaking their skins. All trembling as their hands tightened on their weapons.

Damaris‘ chest heaved. That sound… could it be what he was thinking?

Arianna smirked. Lifted both hands. Flames engulfed the grasses and trees at her side, spreading across and forming a circle, trapping the army with no escape. Her skin glistened with silver scales. Fangs baring as she grinned mischievously.
