The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin novel Chapter 21

ROYCE.

I know the way it was portrayed by members of staff who mentioned it in passing just yesterday in the teachers’ lounge. They all were pretty clear on the fact that she didn’t really seem to show remorse.

“We all know she has compassion towards others, that’s clear by the affection she shows towards her cat.” I say, remembering her excuse about her childhood trauma. I try not to smirk at that, especially with the man in question is sitting right here.

He cocks a brow. “And where the fuck have you seen her around her cat?” He asks sharply.

“Well, due to her childhood trauma, she brought her to school with her, but it was a one off-”

“What fucking trauma involves Malevolent?” Alejandro frowns.

Damn.

“I don’t actually know.” I reply smoothly.

“Oh yeah? Well, don’t believe everything that Lucifer incarnate says.”

Lucifer…

I smile faintly.

“I’ll try not to.” I reply, still hiding my amusement.

It’s clear he doesn’t want to share anything more about her, and without any insight, I don’t really know the best way to help her… I’ll try once more.

“Does Skyla have any additional abilities that might contribute to her lack of control?”

He tilts his head. “What? Not going to put her losing control, down to her having a fucking attitude?”

“Like everyone else? No. We both know there’s more, I just don’t know what it is… but if that is information you want to withhold, I respect that. A yes or no will suffice.” I reply quietly.

Our eyes meet and his flicker red, I can feel his aura surging around us, filling the room. Trying to weigh down on me, is he trying to show me who he is? Suddenly I realise that even a powerful Alpha would have looked away by now and I smoothly break our stare down, looking away.

His eyes burn into me, and I glance up to see they’re still blazing red when there’s a sharp knock on the door and he reins it in a little.

Thank the goddess for the interruption.

“Enter.” I say, the door opens, and her scent hits me first.

As intoxicating as ever…

She’s dressed in a sexy little pleated leather mini skirt which makes her long toned legs that are damn fine look even longer. Paired with over-the-knee boots with killer heels and an emerald, green silk Cami that’s tucked into her skirt, she looks incredible.

That is a colour that makes her eyes stand out even more. It takes every inch of self-restraint not to check her out thoroughly, forcing my eyes away after the initial glance.

“Dad.” She says looking between us suspiciously.

“The fuck you wearing?” Alejandro asks her frowning, glancing at her tiny skirt.
