The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

73. Head to Head

SKYLA.

Here goes nothing…

I jump up, feeling the power within me surfacing. My Lycan’s dominant power, embodying it fully, I channel everything I

have.

‘You will never win! I destroyed her and her kind a long time ago! A mere wolf is weaker than a tiger! Do you really think you can win?!’ His chilling voice wraps around me as the darkness begins spreading along the

ground.

The snake and I block and attack one

another. He’s trying to get those teeth into me. I can see the poison in them. The

darkness around me is also trying to pull me

down into that smoking abyss of the ground

beneath us.

“True, in a one-on-one battle, a wolf would

lose to a tiger… but that’s the difference between the two species.’ I begin grunting as I manage to slash into his side again.

He hisses, as he spins around and lunges at

I can smell blood in the air, the hissing and

shouting of the wolves battling the serpents.

People are dying.

I hear the shouts as Mama is trying her best

to heal.

I block but he strikes again. This time, Royce. is by my side in a flash, taking the full force of his attack, using his sword of ice to block

him.

“There is no difference! You are dead! Those

stripes you wear are nothing!’ His rage and hatred thrum in my mind, painful.

There’s a madness in his eyes, but the anger

he’s feeling is only making his attacks more

aggressive.

I channel my inner rage, but with a clear

mind…

He will slip up…

‘You are no match for a god!’ Apophis hisses.

Sorry Malevolent, but remember, I count you as one of us, anyway. Sorry Bastet, I’m not taking a dig at your expired race, but facts are fucking facts.

‘And that’s why we are the superior species! A tiger may work alone, but a wolf… a wolf is part of a pack, and a pack, united, is always.

stronger than the one alone… just as you are now! Because look around you! We are

united!’ 7

My heart thunders as my own words echo

powerfully in my own mind, knowing that every alpha in the vicinity can hear me.

I want them to know that hope is not lost!

I’m not alone… there is a calming clarity in my mind as I swing my sword at him, only for a wave of dark smoke to knock me back.
