The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving novel Chapter 80

Chapter 79:

THE BANQUET…

The large royal grand hall was decorated and furnished with extravagant designs, Salivating food and drinks set neatly over the tables, its salivating scent wafted the air.

Gentle, elegant music played, resonating through the vast hall. Guest chatter, laughter, and murmurs filled the air..

At the ambassador’s wing, Toran checked his attire one last time in the large mirror. A small smile graced his lips as he ran his fingers through his dark hair.

“How do I look, Ugly?” he asked the girl standing behind him.

“You look perfect, master,” she responded in a low voice.

“How could you say I look perfect when you have your head down he asked, snorting. “Are you that scared of me, Ugly?”

Nadia bit down on her lower lip. “A slave should be afraid of his or her master.”

Toran spun around and approached her, taking her chin gently and lifting it a little. “I’m asking about you, Nadia. Are you scared of me?”

Nadia hesitated, afraid that any of her answers might anger him, so she replied with her heart in her throat.

“Yes… I am.”

Toran sighed, drawing closer and cupping her face. “Was it because I hurt you?”

“You were only disciplining me, master,” her voice was full of caution.

Toran nodded slowly. “You’re such a smart slave. I should give you a reward.” He grabbed her ass, and she whimpered when he trailed his finger down to her most intimate part, rubbing it. “A reward, and you must appreciate it, alright?”

“Yes, master,” she whimpered.

“Get on your knees,” he ordered.

Nadia quickly obeyed, and as she did, Toran pulled off his trousers, letting his erect cock bounce out, its tip dripping with brop of precum.

His hand grabbed his member, stroking thrice while his other hand threaded through her hair. “Now part those lips and suck like a good girl. I’ll reward you with my cum. Bite, and I’ll kill you.‘

With shaky breath, Nadia parted her lips to take it in.

Meanwhile, Valkyrie stared at her reflection, having her new personal maid fix her outfit. She was wearing a fine long red velvet gown that flowed behind her. Her jewelry was beautiful and her long hair was styled with crystal stone adorning it.

Magnus stepped in to check her attire, a satisfied smile gracing his lips.

“Radiant,” he mumbled, walking to stand before her. “You’re a stunning future Grand Luna.”

“Is she really dead?” Valkyrie asked queitly, meeting his gaze through the mirror. “We haven’t heard any word from the Sacred Moon wing neither have you heard from the people you sent?”

Magnus sighed. “Perhaps they are busy. There is no need for you to worry about a slave when you are getting crowned today. This is a day to savor, Valkyrie.” He gave her an assuring smile. “Let’s go; the banquet has already started.”

“Such a fiagnificent sight, Alpha Toran,” Kack tried his best not to look too overwhelmed, but he was doing a poor job of hiding it.

“Magnificent indeed,” Toran mumbled.

Both were drinking lazily from their wine, their elegant attire marked by small red embroideries representing their rank- Alpha.

“Well, Alpha Kael, I’ve been meaning to ask,” Toran said, catching Kael’s attention.

“I’m all ears, Alpha Toran.”

“Why did you betray your mate?”

Kael’s smile immediately dropped as he cast a questioning look at foran.

“Oh, please, Alpha Kael. I know very well you won’t accept the daughter of a man who killed your father.”

“Watch your tongue,” Kael snapped, his demeanor immediately shifting.

“Watch my tongue?” Toran let out a soft laugh. “I am merely trying to help here. Run along and go easy, Kael. My wolf is stronger than yours; know your place and control your wolf.”

Kael forced himself to calm down; his breathing steadied, and his eyes returned to normal, though a disturbance remained in them.

Toran continued, “I’m merely curious to know if there is perhaps more reason why you were able to sway the elders to your side and have her killed. So fear not, my dear friend… we are allies now, Kael.” His voice dropped lower. “After all, she is dead.”

Kael scrutinized Toran for a moment; his expression softened, then he glanced around before replying.

“She is a bastard.”

His reply made Toran freeze. That was the last thing he had expected. But before he could process the revelation, a voice sounded behind the imposing oak doors:

“All rise for His Majesty, the King of Lycans, the Sovereign of the Lunaris Citadel, the Moon’s Chosen, and the Supreme Ruler of the Great Packs—King Duncan Thornevale!”

The door creaked open, and he stepped in, immediately commanding silence and attention. His fine golden cloak billowed behind him as he walked through the grand hall, each of his steps powerful.

Kael, now standing a little closer to the path the king would pass, focused his gaze on the male, and as he did, his eyes slowly widened until they reached their limits, recognition settling over him.

‘We’ll meet again, bastard.‘

Those words echoed over and over in Kael’s head, along with the face of the commoner he had encountered at the inn.

It was him!

The golden–eyed brute who had beaten the hell out of him at the inn for no good reason or perhaps because of that boy who had felt strangely familiar.

That commoner…

Was the king?

Shock rippled through Kael’s system; his entire body tensed, and his blood ran cold. The air choked him, causing the glass of wine in his hand to slip.

CLASH!

King Durfcan halted at the sound that echoed through the silent hall. Slowly, he turned his head to the direction of the disturbance, meeting the gaze of the male who stared at him as though he had grown another head.

Kael trembled where he stood, cursing himself inwardly for attracting attention–especially from the king himself.

Kael’s instincts screamed at him to run, but his feet remained rooted to the spot, frozen under the male’s intense gaze.

Then a small smirk tugged at Duncan’s lips. Subtle, but screaming the words:

“There you are, bastard.‘

Toran’s voice snapped Kael out of his thoughts, making him tear lis gaze away from the King, who sat on his throne, staring down at the entertainment at the center of the hall, radiating dominance.

“Yeah,” Kael cleared his throat, adjusting his already perfectly set attire. “I’m fine.”

“What do you mean Arianna Greystone was a bastard?” Toran asked, but Kael barely registered his words. His focus remained on the King, who suddenly met his gaze.

Kael immediately averted his eyes and tried his best to focus on the entertainment before him.

“Did you hear my question?” Toran’s voice snapped his attention back..

“Hm?”

“I asked, why is Arianna a bastard?” Toran repeated, but Kael was so unsettled, sweating profusely.

“Excuse me,” he muttered before rising to his feet and making his way out of the hall to catch his breath.

Now outside, Kael swallowed hard, running his fingers through his hair as he gazed up at the sky.

He cleared his throat. Why was he so affected? Perhaps the King was the commoner’s twin brother.

Why would a king dress like a commoner. That is surreal.

Relax, Kael. You did nothing wrong. After all, he was the one who hit you first… That commoner, though. Not the King.

Kael turned to leave but froze upon spotting a figure dressed in silver on the floor above. She was heading somewhere, her face concealed in the shadows, making it difficult for Kael to get a proper glimpse of her.

Could that be…?

He shook his head. When he glanced up again, she was already gone.

Maybe it was the ale I had earlier is making me see things. The lady could be anyone.

Drawing in a deep breath, Kael headed back to the hall.

GRAND HALL

The hall was filled with elegant music. Guests laughed and chattered as they celebrated, the air buzzing with energy, mingling with the scent of wine.

Elites sat in their respective seats according to rank. Valkyrie, on the other hand, sat close to the king–as his betrothed.

The last time she had seen the king was with Arianna, and thinking of that scene in the dining room made her heart clench.

Slowly, she shifted her gaze to him. He sat on his grand chair, a regal presence with a blank expression, but his eyes held a subtle danger as they swept through the hall.

Could this be because of Arianna? Could she be dead, just as her father had said?

Valkyrie averted her gaze, shifting it to her father, who drank without a care in the world. He must have placed his faith in her- someone who didn’t even know if doom awaited her.

Whether the king crowned her or not, her life would never be the same after this banquet.

“Something is wrong,” Pericles whispered to Magnus.

Magnus, who had been laughing with the other lords, turned to him.

“What?”

Pericles narrowed his eyes. “Are you drunk, Ser Magnus?”

Magnus shook his head. “No, just tipsy. What do you mean, something is wrong?”

“I don’t know. I just hope tonight favors us, future Gamma,” Pericles said with a knowing smile.

“Don’t you see? The king is awfully quiet. He hasn’t spoken a word since he entered the hall. He must be mourning his slave’s death.”
