The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

SKYLA.

Chris is dead.

The voices are a blur as they all try to hold things together.

The emotions that are seeping off everyone are overwhelming. Giving birth to a restlessness that I cannot get rid of.

I can still see Mama Mari’s face when she learned about her daughter losing her mate…

The way Heaven froze before she ran from the room…

The way Tatum’s eyes filled with tears before he walked to his Mama’s side and hugged her, telling her to stay strong…

Trying to be the man of the family now that his father was gone.

He shouldn’t have to. He’s still young.

Rayhan’s pain, Sienna’s… Ahren’s… Dad’s…

The pain in my chest is becoming suffocating, and it takes my all not to shift into my Lycan and let it all out.

This is happening because of me… I sided with Aleric and because of me, he was able to do this… I’m no fucking Lycan. I’m a fucking excuse for a werewolf.

Useless.

Pathetic.

I slowly walk up the stairs, unable to take any more of the painful atmosphere of the room downstairs. I see Azura and Kat move

when they see me leave.

I know they’re watching me. I’m not a fucking idiot.

Whilst they pretend not to.

I move fast, heading to my room and walk

into my closet, trying to control my anger that is beginning to blind me.

I’m not sure if he has a hold of my Lycan, but

… he wants me to kill Dad… and even if he’s

not there, I’ve been analysing and assessing

him.

too, but I’m glad they’re keeping an eye on me because it’s stopping me from acting out. 1

Dad isn’t downstairs right now. He stepped out for a smoke.

I should kill him now! 3

Fuck, stop Sky!

I just wish they fucking tossed me in a prison cell. I’m not safe to be around!

I find some of my secret stash of the powerful wolfsbane vials I had made and, without thinking, I unscrew one and knock it back. 1

The liquid burns my throat and I clutch at it, just as my door opens.

I quickly toss the bottle back and grab a chewing gum, not wanting anyone to pick up the scent.

The reason I chewed gum so much in the past was to get rid of the smell… especially

when I used to take wolfsbane in small

doses, just to take the edge off my Lycan’s

rage.

“Sky!” Azura says as stabbing pain rushes through me.

“What? I’m just tired.” I say as I look at the bed, trying to focus.

I need to get to it…

I walk over to the bed, my body screaming at me. With such intense pain, I can’t breathe properly, my vision blurs and I sit down, glad I made it to the bed.

I lay down and pull the blanket over me.

“Sky…” Kataleya asks concerned.

I ignore her, my entire body burning with

pain.

Breathe… breathe….

Tears sting my eyes as I feel Azura sit down on the bed as I feel myself lose

consciousness.

“Good… night…” I murmur, feeling Malevolent nudge her soft body against my

head, meowing pitifully.

I want to pull her close, to hold her and cuddle her, but I can’t. My body refuses to

acknowledge her.

I love you, Mal…
