The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin novel Chapter 35

SKYLA.

I can’t get my head around it.

He thought I was the one attacking and killing people?

Like actually fucking seriously?

No wonder he’s always been observing my eyes whenever they changed.

Plum… just like the death noodles.

That day when he had said, out in the woods, I had turned and just left. Although he had tried to call out to me, I refused to listen…

(FLASHBACK)

“I didn’t mean it like that. I’m sorry.” Royce says, closing his eyes for a moment as he exhales.

Sorry?

“Sorry doesn’t cover you thinking I’m a killer, yes I can’t control my Lycan, but I’m no killer. I…” I trail off, feeling as if I’ve been punched in the gut.

I have almost killed someone… If Kat didn’t stop me…

I can’t blame him for thinking that…

“I’m just in a habit of over analysing everything and I’m not saying you but your-”

“My Lycan is a part of me.” I cut in, “Look, I’m fine, I’m tired and without clothes, I don’t really want to head back to school, I’m going home.”

I don’t wait for an answer, breaking into a run, mind linking Kat, I ask if she can drop Malevolent off to me after school…

Sorry Malevolent, I can’t stay here right now. I don’t mean to abandon you…

(END OF FLASHBACK)

I just needed space.

Rolling onto my back, I stare at the wooden ceiling of the cottage.

I am glad it’s the weekend, and I had switched my phone off and just stayed in bed.

Kat was the only one who had stopped by to drop Malevolent, and she had stayed, made dinner and we even watched a movie, but even she was going to be gone with Leo and Azura who were going to come to collect her on Monday.

Well, I know for a fact Aleric stopped by, but I didn’t want to see him for now, either.

He sure was fucking determined and had stayed outside for a while.

He’s Reign, I’m still trying to process that.

But a part of me feels fucking awful. How do I explain the almost hook-up at the club, or the fact that I fucked him without knowing who he was?

Ugh, I fucked up.

My alarm goes off and I turn, staring at the clock.

Why the hell is the….

Monday.

Shit, it’s Monday!

Fuck, Azura said they’d be here for lunch too! I need to get to school on time before someone gives me detention!

Argh, I need to get up!

I’ve missed her badly!

I just need someone to talk to, someone who is probably the most similar to me.

Boy, the problem isn’t something that I can talk about with Kat or Song.

Kat is Kat, and Song, well I think she’s got a hot crush on someone since the summer holidays, one she is totally denying, but otherwise, she was never like me and Zu.

Plus, there’s never any judgement with Azura.

I do need to catch up with Song too… As for her crush, I wonder if Azura knows?

Getting out of bed I head to have a shower, not having showered over the weekend, and I need a good scrub.

Damn, I’m so gross.

After showering, I pull on some high-waisted thongs, a black sports bra and baggy black sweatpants that have a red block design down the left leg, with a matching cropped hoodie.

I put on a bit of eyeliner and a red lippy, before feeding Malevolent. I sit down and try to do at least one or two assignments.

Kat had been ever so helpful to bring my books to me when she had brought Malevolent home.

Fuck, why do we need to know this shit?

I scribble through my literature work as fast as I can and flip open the next book.

Algebra.

My worst enemy.

Whoever made algebra did it to torture me….

Why, just why do I need to know this crap?

I groan as I switch my phone on and glance at the time.
