24. His Values

SKYLA.

She’s gorgeous. There’s no denying that the woman in front of me is fucking fine. She’s wearing a red dress to her knees, and a cropped black leather jacket. Her eyes are on me, and I don’t need an introduction to know that she is Jade…

“The Lycan King’s… it’s a pleasure to meet you, Princess Skyla. I am Owen Benjamin, a protector of the court, and this is my daughter, Jade Benjamin. She’s a warrior and will soon be initiated to become a protector of the court too,” he says proudly.

“Nice… pleasure to meet you, Owen,” I say, holding my hand out to the man. He takes it, but instead of giving it a shake, he touches his forehead to my knuckles and kisses them softly. I cock a brow at Royce, who is frowning slightly. He gives me a small smile.

‘It’s the way the greet those of rank around here,’ he explains.

“Hi, nice to meet you,” she says, holding her hand out to me. She gives me a smile that looks forced, but it doesn’t disguise the sadness in her eyes.

“Likewise,” I reply, accepting the outstretched hand, and giving it a quick shake before I let go.

Our eyes meet, and Owen clears his throat. “Ah well. The car is ready, shall we?” He asks, looking at us. “Jade, sit in the front.”

She nods and quickly moves out of the way as Owen reaches to open the door, but Royce beats him to it, holding it open for me. I can’t help but smirk.

Owen chuckles before he steps back politely and I lock my arms around Royce’s neck, tugging him closer and kissing his lips deeply. His arm instantly wraps around me, and my core knots when his hand squeezes my ass.
