The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

ROYCE.

‘He raped me.’

I frown, trying to push those words away.

There are many things I’d thought I could be

accused of but not that…

‘He forcefully marked me!’

‘He did this to me!’

I place my head in my hands, trying to calm

the pain that claws at my chest.

How is she doing? I know he’s done

something to her, and what hurts the

fucking most is she is having to go through

this. 1

Is she conscious inside of her mind?

Is she hearing what she’s saying? For her

sake, I hope not, because this is just going to

make her feel even worse…

Fuck, I need to save her! Instead, I’m sitting in this prison…

Are they really mates, or is he playing some sort of sick game with her?

I have never wanted to kill someone before

as much as I do now, and I don’t care that he’s my brother. I don’t care for his fucking reasonings, but what I do care about is the fucking twisted games he’s fucking playing with Skyla!

If he wants to hurt me, then he should fucking target me, not her.

My aura surges, slamming against the almost invisible barrier, my powers making the barrier spells around me change from a bluey hue to orange. There are several layers of spells put on the room and around me. I just hope Aleric is secure because the fact he has Apophis on his side is worrying enough.

The temptation to fucking tear this barrier down is rising.

I don’t know why I’m fucking sitting here

when she needs me!

“Calm down Royce.” Raihana’s voice comes. as my lightning sizzles and crackles around me, bathing the dark room in white and blue.

My eyes snap up to her, blazing with burning rage as she approaches from the dark hall that leads off from this prison cell.

“Do not tell me to calm down. Leave me

alone. I don’t want to disrespect you, so

please leave.” My voice is cold as I try not to glare at the woman’s distorted frame past

the barriers.

She’s Skyla’s cousin, and I know she’s

trying to help.

My anger is only rising, and I am unable to

keep it under control.

Calm down, Royce.

“I’m sorry Royce. I know it’s hard… but we

will figure out a way.”

I scoff. “I can figure out a way. These spells

won’t hold me. If I want to leave, I will.”

“Royce, this isn’t like you, I assum-‘

“)

“Forgive me, but you don’t know me. I may be a patient person, but when I reach my

limits… I’ve never cared for rules. I do what I

feel is right, and when it involves Skyla… I’m ready to raise hell. Leave.”

My command swirls around me and I can see her struggling. Although she’s a hybrid, I

still have an effect on her but she’s also a

powerful witch as she stands there glaring at me defiantly, refusing to budge despite the

effect it has on her.

Her being half-witch doesn’t help either.
