The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation novel Chapter 419

NARRATOR

Kath’s eyes were drawn to a shadow beyond the window, near a poplar tree.

They looked like piercing eyes devouring her, sharp rubies glowing in the dark. The dominant aura almost reached out to her, but suddenly…

"Duchess, get up, we’re leaving."

Elliot grabbed her arm, pulling her out of the trance.

He slammed the window shut, his gaze locking onto the same spot Katherine had been staring at—yet now, there was nothing there.

"What? What’s going on? Is there a problem?" Brenda stood up, visibly nervous despite trying to mask it.

"Nothing. I have nothing else to think about. I accept your proposal."

"Oh? Just like that?" She could hardly believe Elliot would accept so easily, but of course, it was still a gift that had practically fallen into his lap.

"Good, I knew you’d help me. Thank you so much, Elliot… I mean, Duke, for remembering the old times."

"Precisely because I remember that we once supported each other…"

Elliot suddenly turned to face her, placing Katherine behind his broad back.

"I’m going to make something very clear to you, Brenda."

His cold stare made her shrink back slightly, a flicker of fear in her eyes.

She didn’t know why, but her wolf was warning her—this man had a far more dangerous aura than the last time she had seen him.

"If you truly want to cooperate, as long as it benefits me, we’ll cooperate. We’ll be allies. But the moment you try to screw me or my family over, I’ll destroy you. Understood?"

He took a step forward, and Brenda instinctively stepped back, barely suppressing the tremble in her hands.

Elliot’s canines gleamed dangerously.

"Thesio was never a real threat to me. But if you become one, I won’t show you any mercy."

"Elliot, I—"

"We’re leaving."

He didn’t even let her finish before striding toward the door, gripping his Duchess’s hand tightly.

Brenda clenched her jaw so hard she thought her teeth might shatter.

In a fit of rage, she swept the appetizers off the table, sending them crashing to the floor. Rarely had she been so humiliated.

Suddenly, the window swung open again, and a cold mist seeped inside, taking the shape of a tall, handsome man who caressed her cheek.

"Easy, little she-wolf, easy," Salvatore murmured, tracing the line of her jaw.

"That damn Elliot will pay for this too. Do you think he sensed you?" she asked suddenly, a hint of fear in her voice.

For a moment, she had the chilling suspicion that Elliot had noticed him spying from the forest.
