Too Tempting for the Lycan King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Ariana’s POV“That is not possible,” I whispered and then I shook my head slowly. “My father was accused of stealing from the treasury and everyone believed it and the evidence was documented.”“Documented lies,” the Rogue King said grimly, “constructed specifically to hide a far more dangerous truth.”I stared at him, desperately. I wanted to dismiss his words as more manipulation and more calculated deception that was meant to serve whatever agenda he carried but something in his weathered expression carried undeniable sincerity.“Twenty years ago,” he began slowly, “the elders throughout Blackwood Pack discovered rumors regarding your family’s true bloodline. Whispers had circulated for generations about descendants of the ancient royal family hiding among ordinary pack members, though nobody had confirmed anything definitively until they investigated your father’s lineage properly.”“What did they find?” Kael asked quietly and his hand rested protectively against my back as he

Ariana’s POVSelene dragged me roughly through narrow, damp tunnels that carved deep beneath the fortress.And her grip was painfully tight around my arm as she navigated the darkness with unsettling familiarity. My eyes struggled to adjust to the near-total blackness surrounding us and it was only faint torchlight that flickered occasionally along the stone walls that guided our path forward.“Let me go,” I demanded and then I struggled weakly against her grip.Though exhaustion had left me significantly weaker than I would have preferred during this desperate moment.Selene laughed sharply and the sound echoed eerily through the confined space around us. “You still don’t know everything, do you? Even after everything you have already learned tonight.”“What are you talking about?”She then pulled me forward roughly and then forced me deeper into the underground maze.And then finally, we emerged into a small chamber where a single torch burned steadily against the damp stone walls

Kael’s POVThe chamber continued shaking violently around us and dust and debris fell steadily from the deteriorating ceiling above.And then I reached desperately toward Ariana, I was determined to pull her away from this dangerous, collapsing structure before catastrophe struck completely.“We need to move,” I shouted urgently over the increasing rumble of crumbling stone surrounding us.Ariana nodded weakly and still trembled from whatever powerful magic she had unleashed only moments earlier.And then Damien positioned himself protectively on her opposite side and both of us prepared to guide her safely through the chaos toward whatever exit remained available.Then movement flickered at the chamber’s edge, and it was barely visible through the swirling dust and debris that still fell steadily around us.Selene emerged suddenly from the shadows, and her expression carried wild desperation now, her silver blade still clutched tightly within her trembling grip.“You won’t escape wit

Damien’s POV The fortress grounds erupted into complete, devastating chaos within moments. Warriors from every direction surged forward, steel clashing violently against steel, screams and roars echoing endlessly through the moonlit darkness surrounding us. Blackwood warriors, having arrived precisely as reinforcements according to my earlier request, joined seamlessly alongside Kael’s Lycan forces. Both armies fought together despite months of complicated tension that had previously defined our relationship completely. Enemy Alpha alliances continued pressing forward from multiple directions, their combined forces significantly outnumbering our own defensive positions. And rogue warriors loyal to their desperate King fought with reckless abandon, apparently determined to capture Ariana regardless of the overwhelming reverence most had displayed only moments earlier. I fought viciously beside Kael, both of us positioned protectively near Ariana’s massive silver form, neither o

Ariana’s POVThe sky turned black.Not dark.Black.One second, the battlefield was filled with fire, wounded wolves, and the sound of warriors shouting.The next, every sound died.I looked up.My heart stopped.A huge silver moon appeared above us.It was so large that it seemed close enough to touch.Then a voice rolled across the battlefield.“Ariana Vale.”My knees almost gave way.I knew that voice.The Moon Goddess.Her voice shook the ground beneath my feet.“The final trial begins now.”“No,” I whispered.Kael rushed toward me.“Ariana!”Damien moved at the same time.“Get behind me!”I barely heard them.My silver wolf rose inside me with a power that made my bones ache.Silver marks spread across my skin.I pressed a hand against my stomach.“My baby…”The Moon Goddess spoke again.“Your child is safe.”I released a breath.“And Kael?” I asked.My voice shook.“And Damien?”No answer came.I looked around.Both men were staring at me.Kael reached for my hand.“I’m here.”D
