The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

SKYLA.

“Are you two coming with me?” I ask the moment I hear the sound of heels behind me.

Delsanra is standing there, arms crossed, as she watches me.

“Well, we have to. No one is to move around alone,” Azura says, and I glance over my shoulder at her. 2

“Exactly,” Delsanra says with a grin as they both fall into step beside me.

The main thing Leo and Dad made clear is that everyone tries to make sure that Aleric remains in the main hall.

The last I saw of him as I snuck out was Dad walking over to him and Kenneth.

If he tries something, we’ll be alerted, but I don’t know, I’m feeling uneasy, and I shouldn’t be… not with the fact that I’m

going to go meet Royce. From here on out, we’ll be together.

“The blood moon…” Azura whispers as she stares out of the window.

I glance out of it, staring at the moon that now holds a red hue, one that no human eye can really see.

It’s radiant, its energy simmering through me, and beside me, I can feel Azura’s aura rising.

“I’m so damn uneasy,” I mutter, my eyes flashing as I feel on edge. 1

A faint hiss reaches my ears and my eyes flash.

“There’s something out there. I can hear it, I whisper.

Delsanra glances at me, whispering a spell as she instantly raises a barrier around us.

Her eyes are red, and she looks fine as fuck, which is a clear indication that she’s shifted to her demon form.

“I can too.” Azura murmurs as she spins around, raising her hands, her eyes blazing silver.

She pauses as she glances over her shoulder and turns. We all move, falling in back-to- back as we scan the area around us.

“There’s a powerful dark energy approaching…” Delsanra says, and I glance back at her, but she’s scanning the area.

Azura raises her hand as we try to pinpoint what direction it will come from. 1

My eyes blaze as I hone my senses, trying to pick up any sound I can.

“The left!” I say, making both women turn and Delsanra begins whispering a spell.

“Let’s move faster, move!” she says, leading the way down the steps to the right.
