The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

ROYCE.

“Fucker!” Alejandro growls as he goes over to the door. “Where the fuck have you been?” 6

“Sorry Dad,” Dante says as Alejandro embraces him. I’m not so sure if he’s angry or relieved to see him as he slaps him on his back. 1

He greets all his family, teasing Delsanra that she looks beautiful. There’s an inside joke there as everyone but Rayhan laughs, instead he raises his eyebrows at his younger cousin. 16

He walks over to the bed, and I look at Skyla,

who is sleeping, the image of her fighting with everything she has raw on my mind.

“I’m proud of you, My Audacious Lioness…” he murmurs, crouching down beside the bed and kisses her forehead before he tilts his head. to Intriguing that he calls her a lioness, think a lioness is linked to Bastet. Was it a coincidence? 10

I don’t think anything is a coincidence with this man. He brushes her hair back before he glances at me. 3

“Things are looking good.” He says before he turns and looks at everyone in the room. ” Apophis is breaking divine laws which is not going to work in his favour. He may think he’s getting a foothold on earth, but if and when he is defeated, he will lose the favour of many…” 1

He drops to the ground, leaning against the bed, his arm resting on the cushion as he plays with Skyla’s hair from his position on the floor. 1

“Do you know about Chris?” Rayhan asks him quietly.

Dante looks up. There’s an innocence in his eyes for a moment, before it changes from curiosity to worry. “What about him?”

His parents exchange looks as Leo looks away.

“He doesn’t fucking know all.” He mutters as Dante slips on some sunglasses that Kiara passes him, giving him a gentle smile. 3

“He’s dead,” Azura says, her eyes glistening as she looks at Dante. This time directly, that’s something I noticed when he was greeting them. None of them really looked into his eyes properly. 3

His heart rate quickens, and his face changes to regret, which he masks pretty fast, and he stands up looking at Rayhan.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t know.” He says quietly.

Rayhan shakes his head. “It’s fine, you just got back.”

“Where is Raihana?” Dante asks, now concern clear in his voice.

“Right here.”

I glance at the door to see her standing there. Her eyes are red, and without makeup, she looks far more vulnerable than the woman I had first met. Her hair is plaited with strands framing her face.

She tries to smile at him, her eyes glittering with tears, and he closes the gap between them, pulling her into his arms. His heart is racing as he kisses the top of her head. 1

“I didn’t know. I’m sorry.” He murmurs.

The tension in the room is intense and I can’t even imagine what she must be going through, to lose the person you love so deeply that there is no purpose to life without them… I wouldn’t be able to survive.

“He’s gone… I wish you were here.” She murmurs quietly.

“I know… I didn’t see this.” His voice is full of regret and guilt that he’s desperately trying to hide. 1
