The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin novel Chapter 44

ROYCE.

Sick of this family, I stand up.

“Excuse me.”

“Royce!” Dad snarls.

“What do you mean by that, Royce?” Mom asks sharply.

“Why don’t you ask your mate and favourite son exactly what they’re up to?” I growl. “Come on Charlotte, I’ll buy you some takeout.”

Charlotte jumps up.

“Ok.”

“Sit down.” Dad snarls at her before his gaze turns to me. “The both of you!”

She hesitates, glancing at me as I wait for her, before Mom takes hold of her wrist, forcing her to sit down, a pleading expression in her eyes.

I shake my head and storm out of the dining hall.

Dad shouts at me to stop, but I can’t.

I’ve had enough.

Walking down the hallway, I frown, lost in my thoughts.

Just thinking about Skyla saying she felt sick and tired. Why do I feel Aleric did something?

For how long do I stay silent, when I know they are hurting those important to me.

Mom, Charlotte, Sky…

Fuck…

I look at the gold-framed portraits of the past Alphas of this pack, each one proud and powerful.

The similarities between my forefathers are noticeable. Each is light eyed with blond hair. An image of a sun and moon is painted behind them. Despite being werewolves, we see the sun as a symbol of prosperity, too.

Aleric thinks he is the chosen one because of the ties the Solaris line has to Helios, the sun god himself. When Helios had allowed Selene to use the power of the sun that contributes to growth and nature to touch one of her four lines. The Solaris line.

This was, of course, before Helios clashed with a Deimos wolf named Andronikos.

Long ago, it was said that the gods walked the earth, but according to what we have learned, there was actually a veil that was open between the two worlds, combining them.

Helios would often select the most beautiful women of the Solaris to be part of his harem, and it was something Selene agreed to. These women were omegas and Selene made sure they would not have mates knowing what their fates would be.

Even until this day, it is rare for Omegas to have mates. It does happen, but it is rare.

When Helios’s eyes fell on a beautiful Solaris woman, who this time was not a mere Omega but a woman that was mated to none other than the Deimos - Andronikos, well, they ended up duelling it out. Andronikos won, and humiliated Helios, who in turn cursed the Deimos line.

After this event, Helios retracted parts of the blessings that he had allowed Selene, and hence the Solaris main bloodline began to diminish.
