The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation

---- Celine had complications and almost lost the baby, so Zarek hadn't let her move and tried to ease her worries. He had to bring his princess back safe and sound-or he would never forgive himself. eee "It's... it's right past that bridge," Edgar suddenly stopped, pointing at a sturdy construction of stone, wood, and vines. It stretched over a deep gorge. The cold night fog swirled above the chasm's surface, making it impossible to see what lay on the other side-like acurtain of mystery.

"Good. Go on," Zarek said calmly, watching the gleam of hope flash in that foolish vampire's eyes. He followed in silence, even giving the man space to pull off one last desperate move. When Edgar's body disappeared into the white mist, Zarek felt the exact moment he activated his vampire magic and floated away at high speed. ---- "WHO DARES ENTER THE SORCERERS' CONTINENT?" The vampire prince heard a booming voice from the other side of the bridge. "It's me!
