The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

Chapter 55

Not in my Cards

ROYCE.

I walk over to her, taking her hand and raising it to my lips, keeping my eyes locked with hers, I place a soft kiss on her knuckles.

I’m satisfied when her heart skips a beat, her pout fading as she looks into my eyes, not expecting me to do that.

“Goodbye.” I say softly before I step back and turn away.

“Bye…” She replies.

Did I just leave her speechless?

I don’t think she realised that I’m not scared of her father. I respect him, but it’s not the same thing.

“I’ll see you out.” Alejandro grumbles. 3

Well, one thing is probably clear. He didn’t seem to mind before, but he probably hates me now.

“Play nice, Dad.” Skyla warns. 2

Alejandro turns back to look at her from the door and both stare at one another and I know they’re mind-linking.

I step out and see Charlotte far ahead, walking down the hall sipping on her hot chocolate.

I know she likes the freedom without two guards glued to her constantly. Even if it’s just down a hospital hallway.

At home, if we were ever ill, the doctors. would come to the mansion, not us going to the hospital. As for Charlotte, she’s never allowed out of the pack unless she’s with her guards or Dad, me or Aleric are present.

Aleric… I told Mom he’s preying on students … What the hell am I doing right now? 2

Way to go Royce.

I sigh as I walk silently alongside Alejandro, knowing he’ll speak soon enough. We head down the stairs to the ground floor and only then does he speak.

“So care to share what exactly you fucking want?” Alejandro asks.

Your daughter? Although want isn’t the word I would use. 3
