The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

68. Brother to Brother

ROYCE.

Alejandro catches Magdalene’s body before she hits the ground, laying her on the floor.

A wave of sadness washes over the room, and I

lower my head for a moment in respect.

She took a stance against her goddess.

The other witches stare at her,

rushing to her side, where she lays dead.

“High Witch!”

“Magdalene!”

She gave her life to speak the truth….

Despite her stubbornness, she had her heart in

the right place.

I turn my attention back towards Aleric, ready

to end this once and for all.

“If you need any more proof, you are fools…” Skyla says to the people as a whisper of

confusion spreads across them. “Everything I

said against my family, and Royce was at his command. Ask yourselves if you really think I’m lying, or are you simply scared to admit that you have made a grave mistake by believing him? He is his father’s son!”

There is hesitation in the crowds, but it isn’t because they don’t believe her. They know they’re in the wrong and they don’t know what

to do.

The witches are shaken, most of them staring at Magdalene, not knowing what to do. Die or

survive?

Either choice, I cannot blame them, everyone deserves to live…

“If you are smart, you will fall back. I know you are under Hecate’s command… but you can at least try to abstain from joining the fucking battle. Those who fight against us are to be captured and held down! No one is to kill the witches! I do not want bloodshed, am I clear!” Alejandro’s voice thunders through the room, the second part of his statement directed at the werewolves.

“We believe you…”

“I knew it…”

“What a bastard…”

I see a few who look humiliated or look to Aleric for a command and they are the ones who I will

remember for later…
