บททั้งหมดของ The Lycan King's Secret Triplets : บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

DimitriI watched the entire scene unfold from across the ballroom, my glass of untouched champagne gripped tight enough that the crystal creaked beneath my fingers.Dante's assault on Nathan had been almost satisfying to witness. A small validation of the fury I had barely restrained since watching that hybrid press his lips against Valerie's hand mere minutes earlier.She had been looking at Dante when she spoke the words. Her eyes were locked directly onto his. The rejection was aimed with obvious precision at the man who had once discarded her in front of his entire pack.And yet the words landed in my own chest with equal, devastating weight.You don't own me. You never did.I had told myself, repeatedly, over the past weeks, that whatever remained between Valerie and me existed on different terms now. That the bond we shared, the children we had created together, gave me some claim that transcended whatever damage the past had inflicted.Her words suggested otherwise.I set the

ValerieHe shoved my dress up and ripped my underwear down. He pushed two thick fingers into my cunt hard and fast. The wet sound filled the quiet room. I moaned against his mouth as he pumped them deep, curling them against that spot inside me. His thumb ground against my clit. I came hard on his fingers, my cunt clenching around them, juices running down his wrist.He pulled his fingers out and shoved them into my mouth. I sucked them clean. He dropped lower, shoved my thighs apart, and buried his face between my legs. He licked my cunt in long, greedy strokes, then sucked my clit hard while three fingers pushed back inside me. I moaned loudly, hands gripping his hair. He ate me out messily until I came again, thighs shaking, more wetness coating his face.He moved back up, ripped his own clothes off, and drove into me without further warning. The sensation of it, raw and consuming, tore a sharp cry from my throat. He fucked me hard on the floor, hips slamming into me with every thr

DimitriThe alchemist's report arrived on my desk just before noon. I read it twice before the full weight of it settled into my chest."Silver-Dust Alkaloid," I said, looking up at the guard who had delivered it. "In the fabric intended for the council's wives.""Confirmed by two separate tests, my King. Concentrated enough to be lethal with prolonged skin contact.""Where did the fabric originate?""V-Luxe, Your Majesty. Valerie's workshop."I set the report down carefully. My hands were steadier than the fury building beneath my composed exterior. "Quarantine the entire collection. No piece leaves that facility until I understand exactly how this happened.""Already done, my King." The guard clasped his hands behind his back, shifting his weight slightly. "I anticipated that order.""Good. Who else knows about this?""The alchemist who ran the tests. Myself. And whoever authorized the original inspection.""And who authorized it?""Elder Rogers, Your Majesty." The guard's jaw tight

ValerieThey brought Dante to a private interrogation room after the council session ended. I was permitted to see him only after Dimitri insisted, though I still did not fully understand why I had agreed to come at all.Dante sat slumped against the far wall when I entered. His earlier composure was completely gone. His shoulders shook with something that looked dangerously close to tears."Valerie," he said, looking up the moment the door closed behind me."Why did you lie to the council, Dante?""Because it was the only way I could think of to protect you," he said. He pushed himself upright and crossed the small room toward me. "I couldn't let them arrest you. Not for something I know you never did.""You confessed to a crime you didn't commit.""I would confess to anything," he said, his voice cracking, "if it kept you safe."I crossed my arms, keeping distance between us. "That doesn't make any sense. You have a pack. Responsibilities. A life that has nothing to do with me anymo

Elder RogersThe evidence against Cassie arrived on my desk the same morning I had planned to formally close the investigation into Valerie's supposed involvement. I read it twice before understanding exactly how badly it threatened everything I had spent decades building.Offshore accounts traced directly to Elara's family. If Dimitri's investigators had uncovered this much already, it would only be a matter of time before the trail led further. Toward conversations I had personally overseen and decisions I had personally authorized.I could not allow that trail to continue unchecked."Convene the full council," I told my assistant. "Immediately."The council chamber filled quickly. Every elder was present within the hour, their expressions curious at the sudden urgency of the summons."Elder Rogers," one of the council members said, leaning forward in his seat, "what is the meaning of this emergency session?""A matter of grave importance," I said, rising to address the assembled el
