The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

67. Unfairness

ROYCE.

‘And what are you doing here, Royce? Answer me. You are with the Lycan King… I do not want you to mess this up for us. Understood?’ Dad warns as he takes a seat, his face not betraying his emotions.

I ignore him. After how he behaved, does he really think I’m just going to agree with anything that he says?

I cross my arms, ignoring the two of them. I can see the signs that Aleric is irritated with the fact that I’m here, he’s trying to cover it and the way he keeps looking at Skyla is irritating me more than ever.

The fact that he lied to her and pretended to be me, has only made me extremely furious and it’s not something I am going to simply let slide. But until she’s had a word with him as she requested, I will have to control myself. Something that is fucking hard.

I’ve never felt angrier at him as I do over this…

Speaking of control, even trying to control myself around her is bloody difficult. She makes me crazy, and I want her.

She crosses her long legs sexily as she turns slightly to face Rivers, her sexy thighs capturing my attention and I have to look away because fuck, I want her so bloody much. She’s not wearing her thong underneath, and I know with just one lift of her skirt, that perfect pussy of hers could be wrapped around my fingers or better, my cock.

Because she would willingly allow me, but I’m trying to show her she means more to me than just that. If I knew who she was back then at the club, I wouldn’t have pleasured her in a restroom… I want to do the right thing now.

And when I do take her, I plan to make it perfect.

Focus Royce.

I groan internally, pushing those thoughts away and instead, I return to thinking about the matter at hand.

“So, you are saying Heather may have misunderstood, then?” Rivers asks.

Of course, she bloody misunderstood.

“Yes, clearly.” I say sharply.

Dad’s watching me intently before his gaze flicks to Alejandro. “I’m shocked the council weren’t told all the details regarding the matter, Alpha Alejandro.”

“My daughter was in the hospital. When the fuck did I get time to fill everyone in?” Alejandro counters coldly. “Call the coven and tell them to get down here, the girl’s parents and one of the elders at the least. I want to sort this shit out today.”

Rivers hesitates. “Right away, Alpha Alejandro, but she is blaming Skyla and saying she was the attacker-”

“That is ridiculous. We have been fighting this monster for a while and we all know it isn’t visible to the naked eye, she may have misread and misunderstood the situation.” Dad cuts in.

He’s doing it all to please Alejandro, but I have to give him credit for at least making some valid points.

I almost scoff, resisting shaking my head.

I will never understand why people can be such suck-ups.

“That is a fair point…” Rivers says, sighing, “Excuse me, I’ll summon them.” With that, he leaves the room.

Dad sighs as he turns to Alejandro. “This is a problem. I’m just confused why she would think it was Princess Skyla. Unless she couldn’t see her wolf properly, no doubt the Princess’s wolf is-”

“Please, Alpha Kenneth, don’t call me princess.” Skyla says, her jaw is clenched and despite her trying to remain calm, she’s pissed.

Dad smiles apologetically. “Do forgive me, Skyla.”

Skyla doesn’t reply as Aleric smiles at her, leaning forward.

Move back, asshole.

“I heard the serpent’s dead. That was incredibly brave and impressive of you.” He says, his words grinding on my nerves.

tilts her head and smiles sweetly. “Thanks, but I think that compliment goes to Royce. He’s the one who saved my life and slayed the monster. He’s the true hero.” She says,
