The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

SKYLA.

“My command is absolute. You need to stay with Delsanra.” I whisper, as a blinding light fills the air as something impacts with Delsanra’s shield and she’s thrown back. I rush towards her, catching her, but she’s still working on a spell. 2

“Protect her,” I whisper to Azura as I place

Delsanra down.

At this rate, they won’t survive. Whatever that darkness is, it’s just consuming her power with ease. Azura sends a force of power at the darkness before she raises a shield, blocking me from them. 2

“Then run, Sky, and if you fucking slow down I swear I’m going to create a thousand voodoo dolls of you to torture for the rest of your life!” Azura growls, as her blazing aura radiates around her. 2

I told her to stay, but now… I’m scared of something happening to them.

I can’t run and leave them behind. What if something happens to them? They- “GO!” Azura screams.

Her voice snaps me from my thoughts, and I turn; suddenly, a large surge of darkness blankets me and I can no longer see either Azura or Delsanra.

I keep running, taking a right, then a left. I’m drenched in sweat and the chains on my dress are burning me, the metal too hot to even touch. I grab a fistful and rip them off, letting them fall to the floor.

It’s left burn marks, but I really don’t care.

“Skyla….” The hiss of Aleric’s voice makes my stomach churn. It sounds human, yet also snake-like.

“Fuck you, gherkin dick!” I snarl. 7

The sound of my thudding heart and my heels hitting the floor ring in my ear.

The darkness begins to clear, and I wonder if I’m anywhere near Royce.

“Royce!” Relief floods me when the heat suddenly disappears.

I almost take a breath of relief when I sense a presence behind me.

I’m about to spin around when an intoxicating scent suddenly fills my nose.

It’s different, yet enticing…

My heart thuds as I feel a powerful pull, wanting me to find the source of my scent and my Lycan’s emotion rips through me.
