The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin novel Chapter 71

ROYCE.

What on earth…

The hair at the back of my neck stands on edge and I break the kiss, turning towards the door, my eyes flashing.

Then, I hear it.

The footfalls, albeit quiet, seem to ring in my head and I frown.

I’ve never felt such power…

Someone steps into the entrance and I find myself looking at a tall, muscular, well-built man that isn’t just omitting an immense aura, but he himself is the entity of pure power.

He must be nearly 7 feet tall, with a head full of black curls. He’s wearing sunglasses despite being inside and he has an angled jaw and a light stubble. He’s dressed in black jeans, boots and a baggy t-shirt with a few necklaces, one that stands out with a crystal at the end.

His attention is on us. The power radiating off him is so intense that even Malevolent wakes up and runs off to the corner, hiding under a table before curling up and settling to sleep again.

“I seem to be intruding.” He says, raising a brow, and I realise Skyla is still in my lap. I lift her off and stand up, as does Skyla.

“Dante, you’re here.” Skyla says.

I turn sharply to the man, realising it’s the King’s son. The mysterious Dante Rossi who remains hidden away from the world, and I can see why. He’s a powerhouse…. And there’s something about him that isn’t… normal.

If we class werewolves, lycans and witches as normal.

“I am, and I am surprised that you’re here.” He says quietly, a small smile lingering on his lips.

She cocks a brow as they both close the gap between one another.

“Really?” She asks before he hugs her tightly, kissing the top of her head. His smile fades and I wonder what’s going through his mind as he gives her a squeeze before she moves back. “Well, that’s pretty much a first.”

“Not really, I heard what happened to mini-Lucifer, glad she’s ok now.” He glances at Malevolent.

Sky nods before both siblings turn to me. “Dante, my boyfriend, Royce. Royce, my brother, Dante.” Skyla introduces me.

Boyfriend. I like that.

“Nice to meet you, Dante.” I say, offering my hand. I am not sure if I should address him as Alpha, but it’s a little late now.

He doesn’t reply for a moment, as if not sure how to respond.

“Sooner than I expected…” He murmurs, a frown crosses his forehead for a second before his head dips a little and I know he’s looking at my hand.

“Dante! Don’t be rude, take his hand.” Skyla growls, clearly offended just when I was about to retract it.

“Hm? I apologise for being… rude.” He says, glancing at his sister and smirking before turning back to me.

Strange fellow.

He reaches out hesitantly as if touching me is going to hurt, and I can’t help but smile faintly in amusement.

“I don’t burn, it’s just a handshake.” I say.

“Is it?” He asks, making me cock a brow, and then his hand connects with mine.
