The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin novel Chapter 18

SKYLA.

The following day dawned grey and gloomy, but I felt better. Well, at least the place wasn’t wrecked, no one was dead and I can try to put the night behind me… but can I do that when I’ll be seeing him at school?

Do I have any science lessons today? I mean, we just had a physical science lesson last night. Maybe I can bail…

I sigh as I slip on my black lace cropped corset, followed by fishnet tights and torn denim pants on top that showed off my tights through the ripped patches. I grab a leather jacket and some heeled boots before putting them on.

“Want to go with me, Malevolent?” I ask lifting her up.

“Meow.” She rubs against my chest, and I smile.

“Let’s get going then, just make sure no one spots you on academy grounds.” I smirk as I pop her into the passenger seat as I get in and drive out. It takes a while to get to school, and with the heavy fog and the icy paths I drive much slower. Better to be safe than sorry, especially that Malevolent is with me. Her life is far more fragile than mine.

“Well, my little subordinate let’s go face the spawns of all things gross.” I round the corner, the gates of the school looming before me and they swing open as I approach.

I drive through feeling the magic on the entrance

Another day… let’s just make it to the end of the day.

-

The first lesson passed by, and I didn’t mind it as much as Kataleya and I are in the same class and sitting next to her whilst mind linking her and trying to distract her is pretty fun. Plus, I can ward off the perves gawking at her breasts.

I hate school.

“I’ll catch you later?” Kataleya says as she bundles up her books once the bell rings.

“You are such a geek.” I say smirking. I remember her forcing Azura and me to do our homework, and although I would do mine and get it over with Azura was the one who’d cause shit and not bother with her homework. Ah, I miss the Westwood Devil…

Speaking of devils, aren’t those Westwood spawns around? Maybe I’ll go find one of them to annoy, preferably Theo or Jayce.

“Where are you going?” Kataleya asks suspiciously.

“Why?” I ask, pouting as I grab my books.

“That smile.” She watches me observantly.

“I’m going to go find my beautiful overgrown troll-like cousins.” I say.

“The quints? Tell them hi.” She smiles and I smirk, see? Even she knows who I am talking about.

“I'll tell them.” I say. We part ways and I trudge to the younger grades. The school ranges from 12 to 19-year-olds and due to the vast size, you won’t often run into those who are far younger. Well, it doesn't mean we can’t go find the little poisonous Westwood weeds.

I’m halfway down the hall, deciding if I should get some itchy herbs or something to douse the cockroaches in when someone steps in front of me. My breath catches in my throat as I’m hit with that delicious scent of winter and spice…

Royce.

I look up at him. He’s in a white button-down shirt, and light blue jeans, and his hair is tied back. God, he’s handsome…

An image of Aleric flashes through my mind and I push that thought away.

“You’re in my way.” I state icily.

“First period after lunch, meet me in the Storm training room. We’re going to start on your training.” He says, crossing his arms.

Storm, one of the several training halls across the academy.

Training…

“I didn’t agree to it.” I say, frowning.

He tilts his head as if I am wasting his time. “I’m here to overlook your training, whether you like it or not. Besides, you don’t really have a say in the matter.”

I frown. Here for me? If that is the case, then why would Aleric offer…

“Well, if I find time, I’ll come.” I shrug, side stepping him, only for him to take hold of my arm and pull me back in front of him.

I hate that he’s strong.

Glaring up at him I try to yank free, but he doesn’t budge, a strand of his hair falls in front of his eyes and for a second I find myself admiring those grey eyes, those soft pink lips… my fingers itching to touch his hair…

“If you want to disobey me, sure, no problem. But I will be reporting back to your dad, and since you already think I’m in this to get some Daddy points, this might work in my favour.” He replies arrogantly. I clench my jaw, my eyes flashing.

I have a huge list of choice words to use on him, but I know him enough to know he’ll follow up on his threats. A sudden thought occurs to me, and I smirk deviously.

“You know… I can tell Dad about our run in at the club.” I whisper.

“Go for it. I wonder if it’ll help your case.” He counters, unmoved. I frown, my anger rising, and I scoff.

“Please, I don’t care at all.” I say coldly. “So that won’t work on me. Sir.” I add mockingly.

“Perfect then. I’ll see you after lunch.” He walks off and I clench my jaw.

Dickhead.

-----

I don’t manage to find the Westwood spawn, Jayce has football practice, and Theo is in detention. As for the other three, I only saw Renji and even I’m not evil enough to torture him.

I sigh, pushing the door open to exit the building when I hear a tut.

“Seniors aren’t allowed in here without a pass.” A voice comes.

I turn to look at the woman, a peach blouse, white pants, black hair, and light brown eyes. Masking my shock, I stare at none other than Leo Rossi’s ex-girlfriend. Leo - as in the Alpha of the Sangue pack.

Urgh, why is she here?

“I don’t take orders from anyone. Nikki.” I roll my eyes.

“It’s Miss Demiko to you.” She retorts.

“Oh yeah? What subject are you teaching?” I ask mockingly.

She frowns. “I’m part of the admin team.” She purses her lips.

“Ok cool… Miss Dumiko.”
