SKYLA. Aleric makes the first move, sending a blazing ball of fire right at Royce, who instantly blocks it with his own flames, clearly making Aleric angrier. The witches begin chanting, their voices getting louder, their power rising and it’s becoming suffocating. “Those who cannot fight, fall back!” Dad’s command rushes through the room. ‘Three serpents have appeared, and they are huge.’ Dante’s voice comes. ‘Make that seven…’ ‘You can see them?’ Dad asks him sharply. ‘Yes… we’re handling them. Another two,’ Dante says, sounding as relaxed as ever. ‘Leo’s going all out. I can assure you, Dad, if your pack and his pack went to battle… we’d lose.’ ‘That much confidence in your brother?’ ‘Absolutely.’ Dante replies. ‘We’ll have reinforcements sent.’ Dad says. ‘Anyone on the outer perimeter, assist with the serpents. Use the coloured smoke bombs to help make them visible!’ A flurry of replies come in and I look at Royce. For now, he’s got this… I should be out there. The groun
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 70. His Arrival
SKYLA. I slash through another serpent, the sword itself holds power… I can feel it pulsating up my arm. “Ri?!” Mama’s voice comes. “She’s here.” Mama Red’s voice comes, she sounds in pain… “Where are you?” Granddad El growls. “We’re trapped. Sephora caved the walls on the left, near the kitchens. She put something in the air to weaken us, but we’re both fine. I’m healing, and she and Raihana are fighting…” Mama Red trails off. There’s more to it, but she’s not saying it. I’m fending them off, moving with more speed and agility than ever, unable to reply anymore. My aura is keeping them away, and although they come close, they are unable to attack me directly. It doesn’t deter them, as they continue hammering against the roof, clearly knowing I can lose my balance. With every passing moment, that darkness is growing. I jump up and land lithely, slashing into one of the snakes. The smell of blood is strong in the air, mixed with the smell of dirt, ash, and smoke. I’ll know
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 71. The Darkness Within
A/N: Contains slightly dark content. RAIHANA. It is a trap, the poison in the air, the side of the building caving in to trap us here. The only thing that she isn’t counting on, is the fact that I'm not alone. Aunty Red had seen us duelling and came to my assistance. Just as Sephora brought down the wall trying to trap me alone, Aunty Red had managed to jump in before the walls came down. Sephora now stands there, magic tingling at her fingertips, a smirk of confidence on her face. “You heard the High Witch Magdalene! Raihana is your new leader.” Scarlett warns, her voice a menacing snarl as she clutches her waist. Sephora sent several shards of crystal at her when the wall came down, simultaneously releasing a wolfsbane poison in the air. If it wasn’t for her rapid healing ability, Aunty Red wouldn’t have even been able to stand after that crystal shard pierced through her hip. Sephora is here to win, not to play, and she is proving that through her merciless attacks. If it w
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 72. His Evil
SKYLA. The darkness that surrounds me is raw, unearthly, and sickly. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like a plague that should never have touched this planet. Apophis’s evil spreads far around us all, but it’s the eyes of the large snake that now burn into me. I sense Royce jump up beside me and I’m glad he’s here. He’s concerned and worried for me and with the fact that we need to be careful how much power we use, I’m worried about him too. Aleric is injured. I can see the wounds on the body of the snake and even Royce has several cuts and bruises. “You’re the third target. Be careful, Love.” He says quietly. I glance at him. ‘Always.’ I say through the mind link, Damn, I’m glad I have that ability. Even if he can’t reply through the mind link, I can at least talk to him. A flash from the crystals beneath me captures my attention and I stare at my reflection. The stripes I had seen earlier have faded, leaving in its place a dark silvery metal coating to my entire body. There
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 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 me. 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 b
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 74. Final Moments
CATHERINE. “Mother…” He stands there with a manic glint in his eyes. Where did I go wrong? I cannot accept that this is my Aleric. I step forward, although I know neither Alpha Marcel nor Alpha Liam wanted to bring me here, but I needed to try. I needed to see him. I needed to see this for myself. “I failed you, but if there is even an inch of remorse or regret within you, please stand down,” I say softly, moving towards him when Marcel raises his hand. “Please be careful. Remember, he tried to kill Royce and many others. Winona needs you.” He says quietly, a frown on his face. I look at him and nod. He’s right. Even if I want to do everything I can for Aleric, I need to be there for her too… I walk towards him. “Please stand down, Aleric.” I whisper. His eyes blaze as he staggers back. “Don’t come near me!” He shouts. I refuse to listen to him as I close the gap between us and cup his face. “Please,” I whisper. “You are not this person.” He laughs, throwing his head bac
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 75. The Pain Inside
ROYCE. The only way to end this… is his death. The moment is before me as he lays there bleeding out, and it hurts. Despite everything he has done and I know he deserves what is coming, but… he is still my brother. I look at her as I pass her the sword, hiding the pain in my chest. For her, I need to stay strong. You’ve hidden your emotions for years, Royce. What are a few more moments? I look into her eyes, which are now green, but they remain cat-like. “Let’s do this.” I say. I look at Aleric as he lays there on the floor, trying to get up when he sees us approaching, but he is beyond the point of recovering, and it’s clear Apophis is focusing on the barrier… The darkness that is pushing against the barrier is spreading from Aleric. “Break his tie from this world and it will weaken him.” Skyla murmurs. “For the Gods,” I say quietly as I place my hand over hers. We raise the sword as one and I look down at him. Our eyes meet and I remember the little boy who once played b
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 76. The Sounds of the Night
SKYLA.The moon has risen, but despite the silence of the night, everyone is awake in the Rossi mansion.I can hear the quiet conversations, the deep discussions, the occasional shout.Out here, I can also hear the sound of insects in the garden. The soft wind is blowing through the trees and the passing comments and commands of the guards and others around can be heard.This feeling… it’s unexplainable…I feel… content, sorrowful and…different.I don’t even know how to explain it.I’m sitting on the back steps, staring out into the night sky. I’ve done this so many times in my life, but today I feel like I’m no longer the Sky I once was…My eyes sting and I tug at the sleeves of my long-sleeved top as I exhale slowly.Some things just stay… changing you even.I killed my given mate.It’s… an odd feeling…I know I’m not a monster. I had to do what I had to and to break the hold Apophis had on him, and on this planet, I had to end him.He didn’t care for me, and that was proven in those

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
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin 81. Different Than You
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
