That's what we call the original inhabitants of these landssimple creatures with no powers, no superhuman strength, no long fangs or sharp claws, no magic.
Yet, they possessed something that all the races coveted.
They gave birth to pure descendants of the speciesvampires, sorcerers, lycans.
They were like blank books where the genes to expand the races could be written, without the need to breed within families or with other supernatural species.
In the end, all of us originated from an Elemental.
"VIKTOR!" I roared, unable to believe that the man who had spoken with me countless times about protecting these endangered beings was now committing such an atrocity.
"Y-Your Highness Zarek, what...
what are you doing here?" he turned around, shocked, pulling out of the woman who collapsed almost lifeless onto the chair.
"'So this is why you asked me for these secluded lands?" I started laughing, void of any humor.
The entire hall fell silent, with only ragged breathing and muffled sobs filling the air.
"This was the reason you were on my side, why you fought against vampires and sorcerers.
It wasnt to protect them, it was to claim a bigger share of the spoils," I finally understood his true intentions, how he had ---- lied and manipulated me.
"Prince, you must understand, it is difficult for lycans to reproduce.
If we mate with vampires or sorcerers, weaker hybrids are born, or pure beings of their races.
A lycan is rarely born!" he explained, trying to justify the rape as something reasonable.
"Not everyone has the privilege you do, being born from the union of a powerful Selenia and one of the first vampires, an Ancient.
I have to look out for my race!" "Since when do men give birth to pups?" I pointed at the elemental men trembling in a corner, who were also being forced by other lycan males in the room.
"I'm not against expanding the races with elementals, but only if they agreenever by force!" "T will fix that; I will punish the males who mated with the men.
Dont worty.
"Oh, there will be punishment, Viktor.
I came here counting on you, but Ive changed my mind.
Everything in this land is rotten to the core.
I think it's time to return it to its rightful owners.
LEAVE!" I roared at the elementals, who looked at me with a mix of desperation and hope.
Viktor's shadow loomed over me.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I can't let you do that," he openly challenged me, signaling to the more than fifty lycans present.
"T didnt expect you to.
Dont get it twisted, Viktorroyalty here is me, and I dont ask permission from anyone.
You're beneath my feet!" Without a second thought, I lunged at him, his roar shaking the castle they had built by Black Lake.
Novel The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Chapter 277The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation
Chapter 277Chapter 277---- I tried to attack her, to make her leave Alanas body, but obviously, I was no match for her.
With just a flick of her finger, I was left floating in the air, powerless, my mouth completely sealed, forced to listen.
"Never has a child been so disrespectful," her ethereal voice echoed within the four walls, cracking the stones.
Outside, the night plunged into total darkness.
"Did you enjoy slaughtering your brothers?" ---- when I reached the castle, ready to march to the lands of Umbros, something happened that changed everything.
The doors were wide open, corpses scattered everywhere, and I rushed to my sister's chambers and the baby's.
Thad left the castle unprotected, thinking no one would dare attack it, believing Alana would keep it safeshe was a powerful Selenia.
But once again, I was wrong.
"ROGER!" I ran to him when I saw him in the hallway, clutching a deep wound in his side, trying desperately to get up.
"Zarek...
no, no, leave me...
go to the room...
save her...
they attacked while you were gone, we let our guard down for just a second anda sorcerer...
a sorcerer attacked...
the baby..." What are you talking about? Where is my sister?" "Save her, damn it, it doesnt matter how...
save the baby!" he grabbed my arm, digging his vampire claws into my skin, tears of blood streaming down his face.
Ilet him go, and he collapsed to the ground.
I kicked the door that was locked from the inside and stormed in like a tempest to find my sister staring at something inside the babys crib.
"Alana! What happened here? Roger told me the baby...! Alana?" She turned around in slow motion, her eyes void of irises, completely white, and I knew at that moment it wasnt my sister anymore.
That powerful presence radiating a holy silver lightit was none other than that damn bitch.
"you!" ---- Thats how my slaughter began.
I summoned every power I inherited from my mother, Selenia.
Her sorcery was the strongest aspect that developed within me, andI inherited her formidable magic.
That day, my invincible warriors emerged from the darkness, splitting the floors and walls apart.
How do you kill what is already dead? I razed the lycan palace and walked out with Viktors head in my hands, blood dripping from it.
Iset out to recruit all the survivors for the war against Umbros.
All the races were summoned, and every single one of them refused, calling me insane and reckless, saying thats what Selenia Alana was for, and that she even left a daughter as a backup.
They were the most blessed, the most powerful, so they had to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
Since everyone was selfish, only caring about their own race, all focused on capturing the elementals, no one remembered the horror of the spectersbecause thats what the sacrificial lambs were for.
I decided to be the most selfish of them all.
Tonly cared about my own family.
Imassacred, slaughtered, and killed until my face, my hands, my entire body was stained with blood, and the earth darkened, soaking up the life and corpses I left in my wake.
Irode my horse like a harbinger of death, with my army growing larger and larger as casualties mounted in battle.
If they wouldnt help me alive, I would force them from their graves.
But
