The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 45. Out of my Control
SKYLA. I’m living in a nightmare I want to wake up from. One where my body is no longer mine. Blinding lightning flashes outside and the bang of thunder follows as the entire place is plunged into darkness. I hope with all my heart that Royce felt my pain and knows something is wrong, not that I want him in pain, but I need him to know I need him. Yeah, this is me, the useless Lycan princess who can’t even protect anyone else, let alone herself. Aleric caresses my cheek, and I can’t even pull away. His touch disgusts me. Yes, the sparks of the dulled bond are there and I thank the heavens that Royce and I marked one another. Our bond has lessened the effects of my bond with Aleric, but even if we hadn’t marked one another, this man has nothing to draw me to him. A thousand fucking bonds wouldn’t be enough, but… whatever this shit is, it’s powerful, and it’s made me into his fucking puppet. I force myself to shift, to do anything! Just to get him away from me! Move, fuck, Skyla!

SKYLA. He smiles as he pulls back. “You were born to be darkness, to be by my side in this vision of the future. Do you understand?” he hums. No! I don’t care if there’s darkness in me. I am not evil. I will never kill them. I will never hurt them. I won’t. Royce… please… “Of course, I understand.” I scoff, surprising even myself at how normal I sound. Royce! Fuck! Dad! Mama! Bastet! Where are you? Dante… please… ‘Avoid him…’ Bastet’s words from earlier make my stomach flip. ‘You will destroy him.’ Dante’s chilling words also return with vengeance, and it suddenly feels hard to breathe. What have I done? Please help me, someone… anybody… “Sky!” My heart leaps as Royce’s voice reaches my ear and I turn far slower than my mind wants me to. He’s here! “Remember what you need to do,” Aleric whispers, caressing my cheek before he slides his arm around my waist and, to my horror, I place my hand on his chest. Don’t touch me! Fuck, I don’t want to touch you! I feel sick b

ROYCE. I don’t know what to think or make out of it. There’s no sign that she’s in distress… aside from the severe pain I had felt earlier for a few moments. Other than that, she’s herself… she’s calm… she’s… No. I don’t believe that. I don’t know how, but there’s something really damn wrong. The moment she rejected me, the pain that I felt in my heart was far more excruciating than the pain from the bond breaking. She can’t leave me. I don’t believe she would. Willingly. I won’t believe it. He’s fucking done something to make her say that. Maybe it’s blackmail, maybe it’s something else, but if he’s fucking dead, he won’t be able to do anything… or so I thought until she jumped in front of him… My head is now spinning as I stand there helplessly as he shields them with fire as she marks him. She fucking marked him. I touch my neck, wishing this is nothing more than a trick of my mind. This cannot be real. “Sky…” I call her again, but she doesn’t even bat an eyelid. No….

ROYCE. My heart thuds as I turn sharply to look at Skyla as gasps flitter through the room. ‘You raped me.’ Those words echo violently on repeat in my mind. There are tears in her eyes as she stares at me, “You forcefully marked me…” “How is that possible? Child, think, you were both happy. I was witness to that when you came to America!” Grandad says, but I know it’s futile. She shakes her head, clutching her neck. “No. Even now, do you guys not see the state of my dress?! The state I’m in… He did this to me! He tried to assault me again. Aleric protected me.” Her voice breaks and she's clearly distraught. Fuck. To be accused of that… It’s… “Skyla!” Charlotte shouts, shocked, but I raise my finger, shaking my head at her to remain silent. “What have you done to her?” I hiss, squeezing Aleric’s neck. My claws dig into him, the smell of his blood only fuelling my rage. It overpowers anything else and I have never felt the intent to kill someone so strongly as I do right now.

ROYCE. “Fine by me,” I reply. Just then, Mom and Winona enter the hall. There’s no sign of Marcel or Dad but the blood on Mom’s clothes makes me scan her over. She looks ok. What happened? “Then what do the people say?” Aleric says scanning the crowd. “I don’t give a fuck what people say. I know my daughter and you are not the fucking one for her.” “But I am her mate! Fated mate! You have no right to stop me from being with my mate, Alpha King Alejandro.” Aleric says. “Because I-” Alejandro begins. “Dad, stop it!” Sky shouts. I don’t want her doing that to her father… they’ve only recently come to an understanding. “Fated mate or not, she’ll always be mine. She chose me, and as much as I belong to her, she belongs to the Solaris King.” I say confidently, not caring how arrogant I sound. “How dare you!” Aleric snarls. “I demand you accept her rejection and back the fuck off, or I won’t hold back from killing you either.” I smirk coldly. “If you will succeed.” “Try me!” “Bu

LEO. That was a fucking shitshow. We’ve all returned to Alejandro’s mansion, and Sky’s gone storming to her bedroom. But it’s being fucking watched and right now, Kataleya and Azura are with her. The door to the bedroom is open and I’ve also wired up some cameras, which the women will keep an eye on to see if she does any weird shit. I don’t trust her unattended, not at all… there was some fucking communication that the bastard had with her before he left. Delsanra’s busy casting spells around the place, although I don’t know how strong they will be. I mean, what went down at the venue made It fucking clear that there is bigger shit involved. Raihana and Chris are at the coven with the Arden twins, with four of my most trusted men. Alejandro also sent some of his own men, including Azura’s brother Atlas. Catherine and Charlotte are also here since Winona asked them to come and with everything going on, I think her mom needs the support. Ken’s in the fucking cells here at this p

ROYCE. ‘He raped me.’ I frown, trying to push those words away. There are many things I’d thought I could be accused of but not that… ‘He forcefully marked me!’ ‘He did this to me!’ I place my head in my hands, trying to calm the pain that claws at my chest. How is she doing? I know he’s done something to her, and what hurts the fucking most is she is having to go through this. Is she conscious inside of her mind? Is she hearing what she’s saying? For her sake, I hope not, because this is just going to make her feel even worse… Fuck, I need to save her! Instead, I’m sitting in this prison… Are they really mates, or is he playing some sort of sick game with her? I have never wanted to kill someone before as much as I do now, and I don’t care that he’s my brother. I don’t care for his fucking reasonings, but what I do care about is the fucking twisted games he’s fucking playing with Skyla! If he wants to hurt me, then he should fucking target me, not her. My aura surges, sl

ROYCE. It isn’t hard to find where Aleric is being held. The power that I can feel radiating from the northern side is intense and when I burst through the entrance of a hallway similar to the one where I was held, I can smell him. Past the witches that are watching him, and despite the commotion, as some try to stop me and others on edge at the sound of Raihana’s scream that travels through the halls, the emotions and nerves are heightening. I come to an abrupt halt, raising my hand to show them I’m not here to fight, but what truly gets to me is the fact that nothing is out of place. Nothing is going on here. Aleric is simply sitting there, past the barriers that hold him hostage, with his head in his hands. “Royce Arden, surrender!” Magdalene’s voice comes from behind me. Even the sound of her approaching was silent. I glance back at the woman that stands in the entrance but doesn’t respond, before looking back at Aleric, who now raises his head. Curiosity in his eyes. Wha

The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Sneak Peak & Author's Note
PLEASE READ TO THE END! IT WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS! Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed that epilogue. Sky being Sky is always hilarious and despite everything that has happened, and she has found herself, she has not lost herself. She’s still the wild, crazy Skyla Rossi who loves to barter with her dad for money, leaving Royce gobsmacked with her crazy remarks that she WILL follow up on and not to mention her love for Malevolent! Well now that the journey is over and we bid a ‘see you later’ to our loved duo, we will move on to a new story. For those on my socials, you probably know that I will now write Precious Bond, it will be added to the end of Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire. This is a short novella, so hopefully won’t take us too long to complete. After Precious Bonds is completed, I will then write The Dragon King’s Seduction, which is a sequel to The Alpha King’s Possession. Which means there will be a gap before I start Kataleya’s book! Yes, I know no one wants that but I
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Epilogue Part 3
ONE MONTH LATER… SKYLA. The Alpha Gen X game of the fucking century. Tonight, we have the Game Master himself, This has been the most awaited game for the fans of the games in over a year. The Panther is going up against the Game Master - X himself. Through the last tournament the Panther was the victor and now… now he would go head-to-head with X. X is said to be a man who lives in the shadows, powerful, strong and someone who would without a doubt win. Everyone speculates about him, but no one knows who he is or where he is from. We’re kitted up in full black. The rule for spectators requires one’s identity to be hidden. I’m in black leather pants, a black top and a leather jacket. With matching knee-high killer heels, a hood and a face mask. Royce has his hood up, too. He’s wearing black sweats, with the letter X on his back, black boots and a face mask finishes his look. His blond hair is pulled back in a sleek bobble. His sharp eyes are the only thing you can see. Upon

ROYCE. ‘What’s with the look, Love? It’s tempting me.’ I ask her through the link as she gazes up at me with such love. I wonder how I got so lucky. “Just thinking about how I fucking love you so damn much.” She replies, placing her hand over the arm that is wrapped around her waist. “Then we’re on the same page,” I say as I pick up a burger and hold it to her mouth. She takes a bite, her sultry eyes remain locked with mine before she licks her lips. Damn, that’s so fucking hot… “Enjoying the food porn, Magic Fingers?” Azura asks her voice full of amusement. Skyla snickers as holds the burger out to me, and I take a bite rather than having to answer that question. Damn… why does she look so smoking hot… “Food porn… I like it too…” Kataleya murmurs to herself. I don’t think we are on about the same kind of food porn… I look at my girl’s sexy body as she takes another bite. Smoking… She turns to grab a drink and my gaze falls on her ass, her sexy peach swallows up her black t
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Epilogue Part 1
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER... (A few weeks after the epilogue of Leo & Azura’s book) SKYLA. “You got the drinks?!” I shout to Kataleya. “Check!” She calls back. Exams are over and I’m finally free! Ok, not so much as we’ve begun working on a new training programme called the Elite X. Training has been upped in the academies and in packs, but the Elite X, a name chosen by Azura, our future sexy bad-ass queen is an entirely new ball game. The Elite X will further the training of warriors from around the country, those who excel in their fields or have graduated from the academy at the top of the charts in training, fitness, and power. This is the future. We are the future. There is a war coming, and the truth is we will have to face it when it does. We don’t know when and we don’t know exactly what we will face but we will prepare and be ready for it. I am one of the first ones working on the programme and will be one of the leads in the facility. There’s more to my job than just th

ROYCE. I pause. No… I am better than this… I squeeze his heart enough for him to growl in pain as he rips through my right flank and I kick him off, releasing my hold on his head. He’s forced to shift back as he staggers, blood spilling from his chest. “You will have to kill me, Royce! If you want the title! You don’t have it in you, do you, loser!” He taunts. No… I can take the title without killing him…. I refuse to keep repeating this cycle. I storm towards him, the sky darkening, and I punch him across the face, knocking him to the ground. “Refraining from killing someone does not make me a loser, father.” “Coward!” He sneers. “You don’t have the backbone to be king!” “There is more to being king than displaying power…” I reply, looking at the hatred in his eyes. “You don’t deserve a fast end. You deserve to live out the rest of your life in prison. Rest assured, you will never see the light of another day.” My aura rages around me as I grab him by his head. “Forfeit.”
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 80. Justice for the Past
ROYCE. “Once again, you show no compassion. You drove him to become what he was… by abusing him, mentally and physically. You broke him from the caring big brother he once used to be. Grooming him not only to be competitive but to go to any length to achieve what he desired, and he did.” My voice rings powerfully across the arena as I keep circling Dad. “I did nothing of the sort! He made his own choices of his own free will!” he replies, his eyes flashing. “Did he? You expected more of him, wanted more from him! You put the seed of hatred for me into him!” I snarl, grabbing him by the collar, my heart thundering. “The match has not started. Let’s follow the rules, son.” He says, smiling tauntingly. A smile that grates on my nerves. I never realised how badly he treated us… I was so accustomed to everything that I dealt with it, but he is the root cause of it all. I let go of him and shove him away, backing up a few steps. “Very well then… before we start, I will go over the cri
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 79. The Time to Face Him
ROYCE. A week has passed since the funerals of those who lost their lives in that battle. We have also buried Aleric at the borders of the pack, a place that was safe to visit yet away from where the rest of the Ardens were buried. He didn’t earn that right, yet we still kept him on pack grounds where Mom could visit if she so wished. The day after the burials, we had returned to the Arden mansion, and Skyla had come with me. Ready to start her life with me. Although her dad wasn’t too keen on it, he understood and simply told her she will need to attend the Academy until she has takes her exams. But I still liked the fact that my queen will always be beside me. Seeing her belongings in our room, set beside mine, felt good. Her presence is something that lightens up my day and night. Today there are going to be many spectators in the Pack Arena, a place where we held some of our training exams and competitions. However, today it would be used for something entirely different. I
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 78. Car Ride
ROYCE. She’s gorgeous. From those long killer legs that are on display, she’s wearing a pleated black skirt and high over-the-knee boots. Those sexy legs always draw my attention. She’s wearing a long-sleeved black fitted top that accentuates those breasts and a tiny waist, but it’s the look in her gorgeous green cat-like eyes that catch my breath. Her eyes never returned to normal, although her armour disappeared at will. Her eyes remained, like her uncle, Liam Westwood, whose eyes were once said to be a cerulean blue like his father. She had been pretty ecstatic when she had realised. I can’t help but smile at the thought of how she had grabbed Malevolent and told her they now looked like proper twins before turning to me and asking if I like a pussycat… The thought sends pleasure rushing south. We haven’t gotten down and dirty yet, but she’s teasing me any moment she gets. We’ve both had a lot on our minds, but even in the darkest of times, she makes me smile. She now saunte

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. 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. 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
