The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

Chapter 137 My Beliefs 

ALERIC.

I close my eyes, the fire witch’s anguish cries. filling my ears. It’s not a melody… but a stabbing noise that is making me restless.

He was a casualty just like Quade…

The number of dead is rising and I’m losing

count.

But he was a necessity… the plan is in

motion and the blame needs to be focused

on Royce. 1

Who killed Chris and how?

Even though I don’t know the answer to

those questions, something makes me

wonder if Apophis has got someone else working for him…

I don’t know who he has but if he has

someone doing his bidding, then it is a cold reminder that if I fail, he can and will easily

replace me. 7

He won’t need me and will cast me aside

with ease.

What am I doing anyway?

What is the purpose of it all?

To be powerful…

I don’t feel it. I feel as if I’m destroying everything I worked for in life. 4

The agonising pain in my neck ever since she marked me has numbed my mind and

senses. It’s not healing, and I can feel my link to Apophis ebbing away. 7

His words the moment she marked me ring in my head.

‘No! It cannot be! Fool! Stop!’ 6

Something about her marking me hit him and since then I am alone, with only his

command, telling me what I need to carry

out.

Foolish…

I am indeed foolish… 1

I scoff quietly, resting my head back as I stare at the ceiling of the room I am held in.

The commotion is ongoing, but my mind is a

storm of thoughts.

Royce’s rage… the look in his eyes… the

hatred…

I’ve always been jealous of him, the way he

doesn’t care what others think of him, the

way he is always better at things without trying. I would practice for hours to perfect something, whether that be a subject or something in training, but he wouldn’t even

try, and he’d nail it.

How do you compete with that?

I saw the way Dad’s interest shifted to him when he realised he was a born protégée, but

it wasn’t jealousy back then… it was fear…

Fear that Dad will start to hurt him how he

hurt me. I was still his big brother, even if he

was stronger. It was my duty to protect him

… and so I used to tell him I’m better, that I

am the future Alpha, that he can relax and enjoy life. 13

Whilst at the same time I’d try harder to be better, to keep Dad’s attention on me… it

didn’t fully work… but when he realised that

Royce lacked the drive and passion for

power and learning, he then started

extracting his blood and began

experimenting on me with it. 2

They hurt… It hurt… but I would lie and say it didn’t, so he thought he was succeeding… because if he realised he’s failing… he’d hurt him again… 3
