The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

Chapter 161

77. Brother & Sister

SKYLA.

The wind blows through my hair as I place a single red rose that I had sprayed the edges with gold paint, with the green leaves and thorns intact on top of Chris’s grave. 9

They brought his body back to Black Storm Territory, even though he was the alpha of the Dark Storm Pack.

He was born on Black Storm territory, and Raihana wanted him to rest in the same place as his family, and besides Papa Raf.

“No white from me Romeo… you and Ri… you were that couple who were always so damn extra and it fucking looked good on you. So, here’s a rose that stands out…” I lower my head. 3

I promise you, I’ll do my best to be there for these guys, Ri, Tatum, and Heaven. We will fucking be there for them all. And if you do happen to come across Hecate, tell her Skyla Rossi sends her a fuck you.

I smirk at my thoughts but it’s no joke, Hecate did us fucking dirty.

Jainana had imprisoned herself in one of their secure cells when she learned of the command from Hecate, and although she recovered somewhat, she was weakened for disobeying the will of Hecate. A great loss for the witches, since she was one of the strongest. 2

Those who had felt guilty yet feared the wrath of Hecate were ashamed and I hate she put them through that shit.

One thing I know is that the gods are fucking selfish. All they ever fucking care about is themselves. That is something that I’ve realised and it’s obvious. 3

A large shadow falls over me, and I smirk.

“I was just about to think about you.” I say as I turn to see Dante standing there and I get up. 1

“Oh, yeah?” He asks, cocking a brow.

“Yeah, about the gods. They don’t fucking care for us and I think it’s not only you who makes your decisions, right? Like I know you try to avoid messing with the balance and shit… but why do I feel like if you defy the rules they have for you… That you pay a price? I’ve seen you, Dante. The times you look tired… moments it’s easier to look into your eyes, almost as if you’ve been drained or worn down.” I say, staring at him. The sunglasses don’t really do much for me anymore and I can see his pupils faintly through the shades. 1

“Why so concerned for me, dear sister?”

So, I’m right.
