The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

SKYLA.

STOP!

I scream internally as I try to stop myself from tilting my hand to spill the poison. I can feel my body becoming tense as I fight against myself.

I won’t kill my father!

I won’t!

It’s like I’m possessed. My body has a mind of its own and it’s terrifying.

A part of me is trying to keep my arm straight and the other part of me is hell-

bent on spilling the poison into the incisions. my nails have made on Dad’s back.

No. I will never hurt anyone.

No!

I’m not a monster!

I’m stronger than this! Fuck!

A sickening crunch fills the room and Dad instantly pulls me back as a scream leaves my lips.

I broke my wrist. 2

The power that is holding my body captive, clearly ready to go to any lengths to succeed, agony rips up my arm as the door flies open.

“What the…” Dad says as Royce and Leo

stand there in the doorway, ice encases the poison vial that I hold in my hand as I stare at my wrist.

“Sky!” Royce says, and he’s by my side

instantly as Dad gently snaps my wrist back into place.

I gasp, the pain vanishing but it’s no victory

… even if I delayed it… even if I tried.

The hold he has on me is strong enough to go to any lengths. Even if that means

breaking me to accomplish what Aleric wants of me…

My eyes blaze plum as I feel the hold growing, and I glare at them.

“Unfreeze me!” I scream as it clicks that

they have thwarted my plan.

Not one of the three looks shocked.

“You are strong, Sky,” Dad says as my eyes. snap to the mirror behind me, a full-body mirror… did he see me slip the potion out of my pocket? 1
