The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

Chapter 97

13. Another One Down

SKYLA.

Saying goodbye to Royce was scary and so fucking emotional whilst trying to pretend it wasn’t, because I didn’t know when I’ll see him again.

Sure, Leo wired us up, him with a new number, and made sure no one can get into my phone. At least I could talk to him, but still knowing that I won’t get to be by his side tonight… or until who knows when.

Everyone agreed that it would be too risky, and he needs to stay away from anywhere near the Shadow Wolves Pack or the academy.

Fuck.

I never knew I was so fucking needy until him… but it was always like this… even when we were talking as Reign and Luciferess, we couldn’t spend a day without talking.

He kept his walls up, but his hug lasted a little longer. The way he cupped my face and caressed my cheek was for a moment longer… as if he too knew we won’t see each other soon.

I don’t want that.

We’re now at Midnight Academy, in the headmaster’s office and Rivers has just given Dad his unwanted opinion on how I should be in school, or he was, until three other Alphas and two witches, had shown up.

There is Flint from the council and two other Alphas I don’t recognise. From the witches there is Magdalene and that weird quiet Sephora, she’s the youngest and I don’t really like her. I know Raihana gets so fucking mad at her.

Now that the formalities are done, Rivers clears his throat. “As I was saying about attendance-”

“Really? We have more pressing matters to tend to and you think her attendance is important!” Magdalene snaps.

Rivers really is fucking annoying. Funny he wants me in school now because didn’t he fucking want me out the fucking way and suspended?

“Nine days for a hearing. That’s fucking long, ain’t it?” Dad asks Magdalene. “And just to give one fucking date, you called us all the way down here?”

“Well, there is more to it than just the date King Alejandro. Three more dead. Do you not think it a coincidence that the two of them were last seen talking to Skyla Rossi?” She says sharply.

Three?

“What the fuck do you mean? And why the fuck was I not notified?” Dad asks coldly.

But my heart skips a beat, unable to focus properly.

I know they mean Royce, but who else was last seen talking to me?

“Yes, that’s what we wanted to discuss, King Alejandro. We didn’t withhold it from you, it only came to our knowledge recently, and we thought it best to tell you in person.” Flint says seriously.

“I know about Kenneth’s son-”

“And do you know about Zayn Freeman, the same boy your daughter almost killed last year?” One of the Alphas says.

“Zayn? Zayn’s dead?” I ask, shocked, but no one answers.
