Chapter 68

Confrontation

SKYLA.

Night has fallen, and I am packing up. Dad doesn’t want me here anymore and, in all honesty, I can’t blame him for worrying. I scan the boxes I’ve packed, there aren’t many, and my suitcases are almost done too. This sure was short-lived.

Royce had offered to help pack up, but I told him I’m all good, besides I know he’s barely slept, and I have a feeling he has a lot to deal with, with his own Dad. I had seen the looks his father had been giving him and there is clear tension between them,

unlike Aleric who seems to be in his father’s good graces. Speaking of the cunt, I had told him to come down and I didn’t want Royce here when I called him. I’m so fucking pissed at that snake. Seeing the way, he was behaving at school… fuck how blind was I? He is such a fucking suck-up.

I saw how what happened with the witches affected Dad. I mean he has always done everything for others, trying to protect them, doing what’s right but I also sensed his struggle…

He stood down because it was me, because I was his daughter, and he didn’t want to make it out as if he was abusing his power and that hurt him. I had heard him on the phone to Mama; he didn’t know I was near, but those words stuck in my mind, the emotion in them… I’ve never heard Dad sound so… vulnerable.

“What’s the point of this position or power if I can’t use it to protect my own pup?”

He doesn’t realise he’s the best damn Dad in the world. Everyone else can go fuck themselves. You ain’t ever finding a Dad cooler or better than mine.

Only I’ll never say that out loud. I’m taking that to my fucking grave.

“We’ll like our new place, right Malevolent?” I whisper, crouching down beside her as I scratch under her neck.

“Meow.” She confirms.

I can’t help but blush as I remember that conversation earlier…

(FLASHBACK)

“So where do I go?” I ask, glaring at Dad.

“What about one of my places? You are welcome to move there, and the security is good.” Royce offers.

Dad growls. “Hold your fucking horses. Aren’t you two moving too fast?”

“Stallion indeed…” I mutter, smirking as I glance at the front of Royce’s pants before snickering.

And yes, I like it fast.

“The penthouse has multiple bedrooms, and I won’t always be there. I just thought it would be safer. I don’t think the Academy itself is an option.” Royce replies, ah ever the logical one.

“I-” Dad began,

“Dad! He won’t even fuck me! He’s a fucking saint, stop it!” I growl.

That shut Dad up, and Royce looks a little embarrassed maybe? I think so. He runs his fingers through his hair, looking away.

“Fine.” Dad grunts, and an awkward silence falls over us. “Not sure why you’re fucking with him then…” He grumbles.

I can’t help but smirk.
