2. A Prince

SKYLA.

Those few seconds feel like forever, until I see the three dots that signal that he’s typing.

Reign707: Wow… I may have a PhD in English, but I’m pretty lost for words right now… The tattoo is far sexier than the draft you sent me last month. Secondly, maybe I’m crossing the line, but you’re even hotter naked, and I didn’t think that was possible.

My stomach flutters and I smirk and text my reply.

LuciferessX: Thanks XD. Soo, do I get a picture in return?

It’s kind of hot in here, and even when I slip between the sheets of my freshly made bed, I still can’t shake that feeling away.

Reign707: I guess it’s only fair, but I’m pre-warning you, I have just consumed a 20” pizza.

LuciferessX: Don’t worry, I’ll keep that in mind when I admire your food baby.

Reign707: Lol

A picture loads and I find myself staring at the most drool-worthy eight-pack I’ve ever seen. Oh damn, he’s sizzling… he’s tanned, and every groove of his chiselled body is perfect… I can see the band of what appears to be some black boxers, and from what I can see, he’s sitting in a black leather chair. One hand has his white tee pulled up, showing that he just took a quick snap right now.

Oh fuck…

Reign707: Lost for words?

And feeling a little bothered?

LuciferessX: Damn, you are totally lickable. Do you taste as good as you look?

I bite my lip, knowing we are crossing into uncharted waters… I’m not sure where we stand. This won’t push him away, will it?

Reign707: I don’t know, want to test me out?

LuciferessX: Don’t tempt the devil with sin.

Reign707: Isn’t it the devil who makes others sin?

LuciferessX: The temptation isn’t easy to deny… so tell me, how are you holding up?

Silence. Maybe I shouldn’t have asked him that. I mean, I just killed the mood, but after a few moments, I see he’s typing.

Reign707: Not bad at all. I have someone who keeps me occupied. Plus, a pretty gorgeous picture that’s kind of knocked the ball out of the park.

I bite my lip, running my fingers through my short black hair. I had it cut just last week. I love long hair, but it’s a headache to look after.

LuciferessX: If you ever want to talk about it, you know I’m here.

There’s silence and I wonder if I should send a follow-up. I may have crossed the line, but I’m pretty upfront. I’m thinking what to reply when he’s typing again, and I look at the second message that pops up, and my heart thuds as I read it.

Reign707: I think it’s high time we meet. I want to know the woman who’s ruined my nights.

That could be taken two ways… We text until one of us falls asleep… usually me… or it could mean more…

My heart thumps as I sit up, making Malevolent stir from where she’s sleeping comfortably on the edge of the bed.

Meet…

I want to meet him, I really do, but there’s a part of me that’s worried it will just mark the end for us. If I lose control, if I can’t control my Lycan, I might end up hurting him. That’s why I’m out here and not at the academy dorms.

Reign707: That silence doesn’t sound good, are you afraid? We’ll meet somewhere crowded. You said you moved south. Let’s meet at Dolce Vita. I won’t bite.

I might…

He doesn’t even know where exactly I am. After all, he doesn’t know I’m attending Midnight Academy, I told him I’m moving this way for work…

Yeah, one lie to make sure nothing leads back to who I am. What shall I do? He never told me what pack he’s from and I never told mine either… Would he recognise me?

LuciferessX: Sure. Let’s meet tomorrow at ten?

Reign707: Excellent, see you tomorrow. It’s rather late, you should get some rest.

LuciferessX: Sure, but how will I know it’s you?

Reign707: I’ll recognise you. I’m certain of it.

LuciferessX: Mmm, now that sounds fun.

Reign707: I agree. Goodnight.

We end our conversation and I lie there staring at the ceiling. I’m excited, and a little nervous, but most of all, there’s this fire inside of me. The thrill of meeting him makes any sleepiness vanish.

I slowly sit up and reach for my crossbody bag that sits on the floor near the bed, and lean back against the headboard as I slip my hand inside and pull out a vial of deep purple liquid. The moon shines through the cracks in the blinds and I sigh. As long as nothing triggers me off, I should be ok.

Last year, just before we broke up for the holiday, a group of boys had the audacity to make some lewd marks about my twin Kataleya. The thing is, I may get around and be ok to send my nudes or whatever, but Kataleya is the opposite of me, where I’m dark, dangerous and don’t give a fuck. Kataleya is light, pure, and she’s sensitive. I had lost my shit and my Lycan had taken control… and I almost killed one of them…

I may not see eye to eye with Dad, but the power that a Lycan holds is intense. It’s why I don’t commit to a relationship either, sooner or later they show that fear… fear of me. I need a partner who can handle me. Someone strong enough to not care when I lose my shit, that is what I want. I place the vial back in my bag, and curl up under my duvet.

I am the Alpha King’s daughter. I will learn to control myself. I have to… just the way he learned to.

-----

The following morning, I leave the house before the sun has even risen. I know one would think you shouldn’t venture out into the woods, but I honestly don’t think you’ll find anything more dangerous than me out there.

I’m in a pair of black sweatpants and a sports bra, and my trainers barely touch the ground as I run through the trees. I’m tempted to shift, but I can’t risk it, especially during the day. I just get back to the house when I stop in my tracks, catching a rich, intoxicating scent. It smells of fresh air, roses and something I can’t place.

A vivid memory of my family around the barbeque, the smell of fresh flowers and freshly cut grass fill my nose.

The scent of summer.

Someone’s here, and by the aura, I know it’s an Alpha. I rush up the path and through the gate when I see a man in black pants and a white shirt standing in front of the door, holding Malevolent. There’s blood… my face pales when I see the blood that seems to drip from Malevolent’s paw, and over the Alpha’s hand.

“Let her go!” I snarl, my eyes blazing, and I’m in front of them in a flash.

Did he hurt her?

“Hey, I’m sorry, but I found her tangled in the thorny bushes.” He says in his deep, husky voice, making me freeze. My heart thunders and my eyes return to normal as I slowly look up at him, realising I had overreacted.

He raises his hand in surrender, letting me take her from him, and she meows pitifully. I take the moment to gather my thoughts as I observe him.

He’s tall, roughly around 6,4 and he’s got a lean build, but I can see the hard muscles through the white shirt. As for his hair… well, let’s just say it’s this gorgeous blond. It reaches his shoulders, falling in straight waves, framing his sharp face, which is set with sexy grey eyes.

Damn… I do have a thing for blonds, but right now I don’t know what to think of him just showing up in the middle of nowhere. I watch him, clutching my cat to my chest.

“What are you doing out here?” I ask, looking him over. He isn’t dressed for a run…

“I was just passing through and I heard her meowing, and well, that’s when I saw her tangled in the thorny bush. I presumed she may belong to the new tenants here. I actually didn’t expect it to be a werewolf.” He smiles charmingly, as he shows me his hands which are full of scratches, more signs that he had rescued her from the bushes.

I cock a brow. I may have a temper, but I love animals, especially my Malevolent. She’s the only one who will never leave me.

“The place is owned by werewolves; you shouldn’t be so surprised… I’m sorry for overreacting. When I saw you holding her and the blood, I was worried.” I explain.

“Don’t apologise. It’s only natural to be worried about her. I’m glad she’s safe. I’m Aleric, by the way.”

“Hi… I’m Skyla.” I reply reluctantly, not really wanting to give my name to a stranger.

Why did his name seem familiar? I swear it feels like I’ve heard it…

Think Sky… he’s alpha blooded, strong too… Do I know of any Alpha with that name? I don’t want to ask for his Pack or surname just in case he asks mine.

“You’re not one to trust strangers.” He remarks, with a sexy smile.

“Yeah… I like to be low-key, and I’m a private person.” I reply.

I know Mama would have probably wanted me to give him something to stem the bleeding, but I just want him to be gone.

Ah, who cares? He’s an Alpha. He’ll heal, right?

I unlock the door and step inside.

“I-”

“Thank you! Bye!” I exclaim, trying to shut the door in his face, but he puts his foot in the door, stopping it from shutting.

“Sorry to be a bother, but do you mind if I wash the blood off? I don’t want to ruin my shirt.”

I can’t refuse an open request… He did help Malevolent…

She meows, and I look down at my poor little kitty, and I scratch behind her neck.

I guess I’ll have to help the Gorgeous Greek God.

“Come in. I think I saw a first aid box somewhere.”

  • The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin   Sneak Peak & Author's Note

    PLEASE READ TO THE END! IT WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS! Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed that epilogue. Sky being Sky is always hilarious and despite everything that has happened, and she has found herself, she has not lost herself. She’s still the wild, crazy Skyla Rossi who loves to barter with her dad for money, leaving Royce gobsmacked with her crazy remarks that she WILL follow up on and not to mention her love for Malevolent! Well now that the journey is over and we bid a ‘see you later’ to our loved duo, we will move on to a new story. For those on my socials, you probably know that I will now write Precious Bond, it will be added to the end of Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire. This is a short novella, so hopefully won’t take us too long to complete. After Precious Bonds is completed, I will then write The Dragon King’s Seduction, which is a sequel to The Alpha King’s Possession. Which means there will be a gap before I start Kataleya’s book! Yes, I know no one wants that but I

    ROYCE. ‘What’s with the look, Love? It’s tempting me.’ I ask her through the link as she gazes up at me with such love. I wonder how I got so lucky. “Just thinking about how I fucking love you so damn much.” She replies, placing her hand over the arm that is wrapped around her waist. “Then we’re on the same page,” I say as I pick up a burger and hold it to her mouth. She takes a bite, her sultry eyes remain locked with mine before she licks her lips. Damn, that’s so fucking hot… “Enjoying the food porn, Magic Fingers?” Azura asks her voice full of amusement. Skyla snickers as holds the burger out to me, and I take a bite rather than having to answer that question. Damn… why does she look so smoking hot… “Food porn… I like it too…” Kataleya murmurs to herself. I don’t think we are on about the same kind of food porn… I look at my girl’s sexy body as she takes another bite. Smoking… She turns to grab a drink and my gaze falls on her ass, her sexy peach swallows up her black t

  • The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin   Epilogue Part 1

    SEVERAL MONTHS LATER... (A few weeks after the epilogue of Leo & Azura’s book) SKYLA. “You got the drinks?!” I shout to Kataleya. “Check!” She calls back. Exams are over and I’m finally free! Ok, not so much as we’ve begun working on a new training programme called the Elite X. Training has been upped in the academies and in packs, but the Elite X, a name chosen by Azura, our future sexy bad-ass queen is an entirely new ball game. The Elite X will further the training of warriors from around the country, those who excel in their fields or have graduated from the academy at the top of the charts in training, fitness, and power. This is the future. We are the future. There is a war coming, and the truth is we will have to face it when it does. We don’t know when and we don’t know exactly what we will face but we will prepare and be ready for it. I am one of the first ones working on the programme and will be one of the leads in the facility. There’s more to my job than just th

  • The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin   81. Different Than You

    ROYCE. I pause. No… I am better than this… I squeeze his heart enough for him to growl in pain as he rips through my right flank and I kick him off, releasing my hold on his head. He’s forced to shift back as he staggers, blood spilling from his chest. “You will have to kill me, Royce! If you want the title! You don’t have it in you, do you, loser!” He taunts. No… I can take the title without killing him…. I refuse to keep repeating this cycle. I storm towards him, the sky darkening, and I punch him across the face, knocking him to the ground. “Refraining from killing someone does not make me a loser, father.” “Coward!” He sneers. “You don’t have the backbone to be king!” “There is more to being king than displaying power…” I reply, looking at the hatred in his eyes. “You don’t deserve a fast end. You deserve to live out the rest of your life in prison. Rest assured, you will never see the light of another day.” My aura rages around me as I grab him by his head. “Forfeit.”

  • The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin   80. Justice for the Past

    ROYCE. “Once again, you show no compassion. You drove him to become what he was… by abusing him, mentally and physically. You broke him from the caring big brother he once used to be. Grooming him not only to be competitive but to go to any length to achieve what he desired, and he did.” My voice rings powerfully across the arena as I keep circling Dad. “I did nothing of the sort! He made his own choices of his own free will!” he replies, his eyes flashing. “Did he? You expected more of him, wanted more from him! You put the seed of hatred for me into him!” I snarl, grabbing him by the collar, my heart thundering. “The match has not started. Let’s follow the rules, son.” He says, smiling tauntingly. A smile that grates on my nerves. I never realised how badly he treated us… I was so accustomed to everything that I dealt with it, but he is the root cause of it all. I let go of him and shove him away, backing up a few steps. “Very well then… before we start, I will go over the cri
