The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

Chapter 38. A Warning

SKYLA.

“Oh, hun.” Azura says, hugging me tightly. ” I’m sorry that you feel that way and I do get

it.”

“Yeah, well it’s Dad who needs to get it.” I say icily as I pull away and sigh. “Fuck.” 3

I hate how I feel guilty when I focus my

anger on him, because I know he loves me.

“You’re only eighteen Sky, don’t push yourself. Let life teach you, its lessons. I mean, I learned things my own way… and it was the hard way. But Leo has never tried to stop me from doing what I needed to. He treats me as his equal, even though I know a few times he would have preferred I wasn’t around, but he still let me do what I wanted. With time, I realised I did act recklessly a few times, but ultimately, he let me learn that myself.” She explains. 1

She tucks her silky hair behind her ear as she continues. “I have faith Alejandro will get that. He just sees you as his little princess. Try to see it from his point too? Even if it isn’t the right one?” She tries to reason with

2

“The thing is, I’m not his little princess anymore.” I sigh. “I’m capable, just as Dante was capable at my age.”

“I know, I get that babe. Want me to make an Alejandro voodoo doll?” She asks,

smirking. “Or a Dante one! We can maybe burn his hair off.” 3

I can’t help but laugh. She has always had an issue with his hair.

“Wait, that would actually be so cool. I mean a Dad voodoo doll! One with tattoos and a big ass frown on his grumpy face. Maybe I can make a video of me torturing it and send it to him.” I chuckle.

“He’ll come for my head.” She replies,

amused.

“Probably…” I sigh, my smile fading as that same anger stings inside of me.

He’ll never see me as old enough, or capable enough. I don’t even want to talk about it further because I know it triggers me.

I just hate how people are quick to fucking question shit I do in my life, but they do not fucking know me.

Azura gets it, I just wish Dad got it too, I’m not Kat… The thing is, I also know he’s the same with Mama, there are times he simply refuses to allow her to step up, not wanting her to get hurt.

Why? Because she’s a woman. She would worry about her mate going into battle, but

because he’s a guy, it’s fine. As I said, double standards. 3

“It’s going to be ok.” Azura says.

We fall silent and simply sit there. Azura

rests her head on my shoulder, and I rest my head against hers as I ponder over what we have discussed.

Life…

But one thing that Azura has said has stuck in my head, about people getting killed. I can be pissed at Dad, but if this helps in any way, then I’m going to have to do it. Or I might just tell Azura to tell Leo. He can pass the message on to Dad. I just don’t want to hear
