Chapter 52

ROYCE.

But this time, there’s curiosity in them.

“Well now, isn’t this shit fucking interesting.” Alejandro remarks.

“Skyla, Sky baby.” Kiara whispers, caressing her hair.

“Royce…”

Stop saying my name, Love…

It’s already hard not to go to her and harder to stop my heart from racing wildly.

“She’s calling you.” Kiara says quietly. “Come.”

Alejandro scoffs and I don’t know what to do. I’m sure Kiara is just concerned and wants to see her daughter wake up but I’m so fucking close to breaking down.

I walk to the bed, trying to calm my thundering heart as I look at the goddess on the bed.

She’s going to be ok…

Another moan leaves her lips and Delsanra moves back, allowing me to step closer.

“Skyla… Can you hear me?” I ask quietly.

Her heart rate quickens and reaching over, I tenderly brush her hair back.

Wake up, Love.

It’s taking my all not to break down right here and just pull her into my lap and tell her, fuck the world and let’s do whatever we want. The fact her parents are here no longer feels important, but life isn’t a fairy tale…

“She’s a fighter.” I say quietly, forcing myself to move my hand back. “We should head back; I’d appreciate it if my involvement does not get to my father.”

“Oh, and why would that be?” Alejandro asks.

“I prefer my business to remain my own.” I say simply, turning to the women, about to bid them farewell when Kiara speaks.

“Won’t you stay for a while longer? She seems to… have an attachment to you. Perhaps she’ll want you to be here when she wakes up, if that’s ok of course.” She smiles at me.

I see Alejandro frown, and I’m certain she mind-linked him.

This is the woman they say tamed the Lycan King, and it’s clear she has him wrapped around her finger.

“I need to go deal with what’s happened and see if the girls who were killed have been identified. One is a werewolf; their Alpha would have felt the pack link break.” Alejandro says, running his hand through his hair before he wraps his hand around Kiara’s waist and kisses her. “I’ll be back once I’m done.”
