The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

Chapter 16. A Brother’s Rage

ALERIC.

An hour later she’s finished describing what she saw, and I am intrigued, because all we have ever seen is the plum eyes. It’s always

so fast…

“Sounds like a huge snake… only there’s no snake of that calibre.” I muse, she’s proved helpful, and she’s intelligent. I like that.

“Yeah, and my claws didn’t make a dent.” She says, a frown on her face as she sits opposite me holding a mug of hot chocolate.

I had settled for tea since she had limited

options. I still do not know how she is

staying out here in the middle of nowhere.

“Interesting…”

“So does Dad know about this?” She asks,

her sharp eyes observing me.

And there we have it, always thinking the

king needs to know it all. He isn’t the only one who’s been protecting this country. Yes, he does, as does the council, however, all we are seeing are people being killed by something that leaves no traces. Neither Arden Corporation nor Leo Rossi were able to identify the cause of death. Aside from the

few who have been mauled. Even the witches

have not found a source. It’s a bit of a

mystery…”

She frowns. “I see… how long have these attacks been happening?”

“It’s been a few weeks, but we are trying and I’m certain this description you’ve given me will help greatly.”

“Will you make sure my name stays out of it?” She says, frowning slightly.

“You have my word, Princess.” I wink at her, and she smirks slightly, nodding. She’s wearing that green satin gown again but this time she did put on some panties… Her collarbones jut out, her breasts that are the

perfect size for her build are rising and falling, the cleavage teasing me from the

gap.

She clears her throat and I smirk. “Now that I know exactly what you offer, it’s rather hard to keep my eyes off you, do forgive me.”

She tilts her head. “Nothing to forgive. I wouldn’t mind doing this again sometime… no strings attached.”

No strings attached… that’s not the aim… but it’s a starting point…

“I like the sound of that.” I say, standing up, “Your number?”

“Want me to write it down for you, or will you remember it?” She questions teasingly as she stands up and approaches me. She’s seductive. The way she’s watching me now makes me want to pull her closer and maybe

fuck her once more before I leave… but I

think that’s enough for one night.

“I’m pretty good at remembering things,

and when the number belongs to such a pretty girl, there’s no way that I will forget

it.” I say.

“Alright, it’s 076…” She repeats her

number, my gaze on those plump lips of

hers as I just about register the eleven digits. 1

“Perfect.” I reply.

“Make sure you get someone to fix that window up first thing in the morning. I’ll

head out now.”

“I will.” She replies, running her fingers through her hair.

“And get that checked out, too.” I say, glancing at the side of her breast. I had offered, but she had refused.

“I’ll see you at school tomorrow.” I say
