Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 9: Dangerous Game of Deception
As Tobias leaned in closer to Scarlett, his eyes held a penetrating gaze that seemed to see right through her. Though he had let go of her hand, his presence was still palpable, and she could feel his warm breath on her skin. The overpowering scent of his fragrance filled her senses, and despite trying to maintain her composure, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and frustration boiling inside her. His close proximity made her feel vulnerable and exposed, and she began to feel trapped under his gaze."Little traveler, there is something else that you need to know. Before I caught you, I just received a message, a warning from an intruder who has infiltrated my palace. This intruder sent me a note, along with a dagger, as a sign of their threat."Scarlett tried to keep her expression neutral, not wanting to reveal her true intentions for seeking revenge. She knew that if Tobias discovered her true motives, he would never let her go."What does this have to do with me?" she ask
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 10: The Intense Encounter
Scarlett knew that she couldn't afford to be swayed by his charms. She had a mission to complete, and she wouldn't let anything or anyone stand in her way. With a steely resolve, she stood tall and faced him head-on, determined to uncover the truth about her pack's massacre, no matter the cost. Her gaze was laced with bitterness and her fists were clenched tightly. She was growing increasingly frustrated with his insinuations and attempts to seduce her. "I have no interest in your idea of 'fun'," she spat out, her eyes flashing with anger. "I just want to leave." Her words were sharp and firm, conveying her determination to not let her guard down around him. His face darkened. "You're in no position to make demands, little traveler. You're in my palace, and you'll do as I say." Her hand tightened around the hilt of her dagger, ready to defend herself if necessary. "I won't be intimidated by you, Tobias." As Tobias took another step closer to her, his eyes flashed with anger. "You
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 11: Little Intruder
Tobias paced back and forth in his main chamber, his mind racing with thoughts and plans, his eyes flickering with uncertainty and suspicion. He knew that he couldn't keep Scarlett confined forever, but he also couldn't risk letting her go until he was sure of her intentions. A few moments earlier, he knew that the intruder who had sent him the message was still lurking in the palace, and he was determined to catch them. He had stationed guards at every entrance and exit, and was monitoring the palace closely. The intruder must have had no time to escape, and he was determined to catch them before they could cause any more trouble. He ordered his guards to be on high alert and scoured the palace from top to bottom, searching for any sign of the intruder. But as the hours passed, it seemed as though the intruder had vanished without a trace. Tobias couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in the pit of his stomach. He knew that whoever had infiltrated his palace was not

Joel nodded thoughtfully as he asked, "I understand. What do you want us to do, My king?" "I need you to investigate this intruder and find out what her intentions are. Find out everything you can about her!" Tobias said firmly. "I need to know more about how she managed to get past our security measures. I also need your help in figuring out who she is, what she wants, why she's here, and if there are any others involved. I cannot let her roam free in my palace, especially with all the recent incidents that have been happening. I want to put an end to this before it becomes a bigger problem." Joel furrowed his brow, a hint of concern in his voice. "What about the intruder? What should we do with her in the meantime?" Rowena spoke up, her voice calm and measured. "My king, may I suggest we question the prisoner directly? We may be able to gather valuable information from her if we approach her correctly." Tobias pondered for a brief moment before answering, "I've confined her to th

One night as Tobias stepped into the chamber, he found Scarlett stood defiantly in front of him. Tobias crossed the room, standing in front of her. He couldn't help but admire her courage and determination. "Good evening, Scarlett," he said in a smooth voice, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I hope you're finding your accommodations to your liking?" Her eyes narrowed as she faced him. "What do you want?" she asked, her voice cold and unyielding. "I've come to question you," Tobias replied, taking a step closer to her. "You see, I still have no idea why you were sneaking around my palace. I want to know why you came here," he said, his voice soft and dangerous. Scarlett remained silent, eyeing him warily. She met his gaze and didn't waver, her heart raced with fear and anger. She knew that she had to get out of there, no matter what it took. Tobias smirked. "But maybe we can find some... common ground. Perhaps there's something I can offer you in exchange for the truth?" She bri
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 14: Playing with Fire
Scarlett felt her heart skipped a beat as his warm lips brushed against her ear. She knew she should pull away and maintain her distance, but the seductive tone in his voice was making it difficult for her to think straight."Is that a threat, my king?" she asked, trying to sound casual despite the trembling in her voice.Tobias chuckled softly, the sound sending a warm sensation through her body. "Not a threat, my dear," he replied, his lips still dangerously close to her ear. "Just a warning. You're playing a dangerous game here. One that could cost your life."Scarlett tried to remain composed, but her mind was racing. She knew that Tobias was right, that she was playing a dangerous game. But the desire for revenge burned inside her, driving her to take the risk."I'll take my chances," she said, her voice low and determined. "I'll do whatever it takes to get what I want."Tobias pulled away for a moment, his piercing blue eyes locking onto hers. "And what is it that you want?" He
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 15: Escape Plan
Scarlett took a deep breath and tried to calm her racing thoughts. She knew that she needed to come up with a plan to escape the palace, but it was proving to be difficult with the high level of security guards and the confinement of the palace.She got up from the bed and started pacing the room, thinking of all the possible escape routes. Her mind raced as she tried to think of a way out. The palace was surrounded by thick stone walls, and the only entrance was heavily guarded. She knew that any attempt to escape would be met with resistance, and she would need to be smart about it.She paced back and forth in her room, trying to come up with a plan. She considered disguising herself as a servant or a guard, but she knew it would be risky. The guards knew each other well, and any unfamiliar face would be suspicious.She thought about climbing the walls or digging a tunnel, but the walls were too high, and the ground was too hard to dig through. She felt frustrated and trapped, but s
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 16: Desperate Measures
Scarlett heard the sound of footsteps approaching the storage room and she knew that time was running out. Her mind raced with possibilities as she scanned the room for any possible hiding spots or escape routes, but her options were limited.There was only one door and the windows were too small to squeeze through. She could hear the guards calling out her name and demanding that she open the door.Just as she thought she had run out of options, she noticed a loose floorboard near the shelves. With a surge of hope, she lifted the board and crawled inside the small space beneath the floor. She huddled in the cramped space, listening as the guards entered the room. The suspense was almost unbearable as she waited, unsure if she had escaped unnoticed or if her hiding spot had been discovered.Her heart raced as she crawled into the cramped space under the loose floorboard. She held her breath as the door creaked open and the guards entered the room.As she waited, the tension was almos

Frustration ate her away, as she took pride in her skill at reading people. But with the man in front of her, it felt like trying to decipher an empty page, one that held no hidden meaning or clues. "Are you in the lycan king's service?" she asked directly. Tobias tilted his head, giving her a puzzled look. "In the lycan king's service?" "Do you carry out his orders? Are you one of his accomplices?" she clarified. Tobias's face grew darker, his expression tightening. Scarlett noticed the friendly warmth in his eyes turning into fiery anger that caught her by surprise. She couldn't tell if he was mad at her or not. She instinctively tightened her grip on her dagger, ready for whatever might happen. "Nope, I'm not his accomplice," he said with disdain. "To be honest, I don't even see him as the rightful leader, if you want to know the truth." Scarlett blinked, taken aback by his candid response. "You're telling me you don't? Well, that's quite unexpected. Why do you say that?" He

In the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of kindness and tenderness. She hadn't thought about that detail, and it made her feel a confused mix of emotions.It was his eyes that made her doubt, especially the little flicker of warmth she saw in them. If not for that spark, she would have killed him right away without a second thought. But the fact that the man who killed her family wasn't looking at her with a cold, uncaring stare gave her reason to pause. This revelation changed her strict, black-and-white view that she had held for so long. She had thought of To

Following her lead, he trailed behind her as they made their way through the bustling common room.Exiting through a back door, Scarlett closed it behind them, enveloping them in the tranquility of the open field behind the tavern.

The vast expanse seemed to stretch endlessly before them, inviting curiosity and contemplation.As Tobias stood alongside Scarlett, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 31: Suspicion and Unspoken Antipathy
Tobias felt uneasy when he looked at how the woman was behaving. There was something about her that made him suspicious and gave him a moment of doubt.Even though her questions seemed harmless, they had a tone that made it feel more like an interrogation than a casual chat. He wasn't sure what it was, but something about the way she looked at him made him think she didn't like him.Because he wasn't sure what she wanted, he was careful about what he said and didn't want to say too much about himself. Tobias couldn't get rid of the feeling that there was more to this interaction than what he could see, so he couldn't help but wonder what it was all about."Well, I'm on my way to the north now. Just arrived from the neighboring town," he said, deciding to disclose his true identity.Tobias felt a slight twinge of vulnerability as he shared this information, allowing a glimpse into his true identity.

The tasks at hand were of utmost significance, requiring his unwavering dedication and skill. He made a conscious choice not to bring his henchmen with him on this particular mission. He knew that privacy and secrecy were important, so he decided to look like a simple, unremarkable commoner to fit in with the crowd. He didn't want to draw too much attention to himself, so he dressed modestly and kept a low image. This was a smart move as it let him move around unnoticed among the crowds and watch and listen without giving away his true identity. He knew that this level of anonymity would give him the freedom to deal with the difficulties he would face in the future and do his jobs well. The previous night had been a restless one for Tobias, as he found himself

Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 28: Precarious Situation
The innkeeper, Finley, glanced over at Scarlett with a stern expression, his bushy eyebrows furrowing. He walked over, his voice filled with authority. "Scarlett, mind your tongue. We can't have you scaring off our paying customers. Keep your emotions in check.""Doesn't it bother you that filthy men like Grayson believe they can touch us the servant without permission simply because they're purchasing a drink or two?""You know they mean no harm, dear," he countered. "And you know it's all in good fun. They would never go too far. And if they dared to, you know I would intervene.""Finley-""This inn is my business, girl. And I have the right to run it as I see fit," Finley replied, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "You knew the terms when you agreed to work here and reside in the cottage out back."Her gaze hardened, observing that he purposefully mentioned her living arrangement to remind her of her vulnerable position."Your fiery temper is sure to drive away my customers.

Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 27: Hard Work

She swept the floors, cleaned the tables, and served the patrons with a smile, despite the weariness that settled in her bones. The hard work was second nature to her, a testament to her resilience and self-reliance.In exchange for the cottage behind the inn, Scarlett had willingly taken on these responsibilities.
