SKYLA.

I’m living in a nightmare I want to wake up from. One where my body is no longer mine.

Blinding lightning flashes outside and the bang of thunder follows as the entire place is plunged into darkness.

I hope with all my heart that Royce felt my pain and knows something is wrong, not that I want him in pain, but I need him to know I need him.

Yeah, this is me, the useless Lycan princess. who can’t even protect anyone else, let alone herself.

Ale caresses my cheek, and I can’t even pull away. His touch disgusts me.

Yes, the sparks of the dulled bond are there and I thank the heavens that Royce and I marked one another. Our bond has lessened the effects of my bond with Aleric, but even if we hadn’t marked one another, this man has nothing to draw me to him. A thousand fucking bonds wouldn’t be enough, but… whatever this shit is, it’s powerful, and it’s made me into his fucking puppet.

I force myself to shift, to do anything! Just to get him away from me!

Move, fuck, Skyla!

I scream internally as I stand there calmly.

“Kiss me,” he commands.

I look at him.

Over my fucking dead body!

But… my body moves, and I press my lips against his. Kissing him softly.

No! Fuck no!

What is this!

He chuckles. “Oh, it worked…” he whispers. softly. “You really are mine now…”

What has he done to me?!

I try to ask him, but nothing comes out.

His eyes glimmer and within them I see them change to slits…

‘Mine to command and mine to play with…’ His voice enters my mind but it’s not like the mind link but around me, a bit like how

Bastet’s voice sounded to me.

“Beautiful… before we make our grand entrance and introduce each other as mates to our families; there are a few rules.” He begins stroking my cheek.

It hurts from our scuffle although I am healing already.

“Remember, I am your mate, and you will listen to me and me alone. You will not argue, you will act like yourself, but I am the one you will bow down to. I am the one you want and the only one you will stand beside! I am always right!” he hisses, his hand wrapping around my neck.

Never!

I try to glare at him but fail, my body simply refusing to obey me.
