SKYLA. The morning has passed by damn slowly. I’ve been itching to get my hands on Aleric, and my anger has begun bubbling again. Royce’s words from last night are replaying again and again and it’s only getting to me. I don’t even know how I’m going to face him later for training… I might bail for today. I don’t think I can handle being in his proximity… I zoomed through the first three lessons without even bothering to play up or waste time. Lost in thought as I get the work done with ease. The quicker I’m done, the better. The moment the bell rings, I grab my books, and my tote bag that Malevolent has been curled in all day and rush from the room before anyone else even rises from their seat. Now to find that dick. “Skyla!” I stop mid-step, spotting none other than Ahren, my nephew? I pause for a moment, second-guessing that. I swear this family is so damn big and tied from every damn angle that I forgot who is banging who and who created what demon’s spawn. But he’s defini

ROYCE. I really have no way to explain what I feel when she turns and saunters out of the cafeteria as if she owns the entire place. If I try to put it into one sentence, it would be; She looks fucking mind-blowingly sexy and smoking hot. Her long killer legs move confidently, her hips naturally swaying as she walks, and her breasts bounce as does her hair. There’s a fire in her eyes that makes my throat go dry. She’s not seen me but she’s angry and she doesn’t give a shit about the consequences. Call me insane, but I actually admire that. She’s able to be herself without even considering the repercussions of her actions. She spots me, and her heart skips a beat. Her eyes meet mine for a second, before she turns those bottle-green eyes away and brushes past me, leaving me with a hint of her scent… That fleeting remnant doesn’t do justice. There’s something about the wild princess that gets to me every damn time, and I’m not the only one left speechless in her wake. I hate that a

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 answe

SKYLA. Royce smiles faintly and I wonder what’s on his mind. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, too.” He says to Leo, before turning to Azura. “You must be Luna Azura, it’s an honour.” “Yes, in the flesh. Nice to meet you too.” Azura says, holding her hand out to him. He takes it, giving it a gentle squeeze before he lets go. What a gentleman. I can feel Azura’s huge eyes burning into me, and I turn my gaze to her. There’s a knowing look in her eyes and my stomach does a flip. I’m not that obvious, am I? “I’m sorry to intrude, but I was unable to get through to you regarding your training session?” Royce says quietly, those smouldering grey eyes now on me. Oh yeah, training… I can still sense Azura's searing, unblinking gaze. That girl is some freaky shit, but I love her. “I can’t do after school. I have detention.” I reply, shrugging casually. “Detention...” His eyes flick to the open books in front of Leo and he cocks a brow. “Let’s hope you don’t get another one. After detentio

SKYLA. Azura’s words keep replaying in my mind as I trudge toward Aleric’s office. My footsteps echo off the tiles. With the rumours going around, I don’t think him choosing his office for detention is wise, and I don’t think I want those rumours to get to Dad. Me and the professor I’m rumoured to be having an affair with alone in his office. Hmm, office sex sounds hot, and I wouldn’t mind him showing me his dominant side by bending me over that desk of his… I smirk. Regardless of if that sounds appealing or not, I don’t plan to get down and dirty with him. Not after that talk with Azura. That really has made me see reason. The halls are empty as everyone is either in training, outdoors, or just chilling since school's out. They’re lucky to be doing whatever shit they want for the rest of the evening. Then there’s poor me, heading to detention, without even a morsel of food to satiate the pang of hunger that fills my stomach. How sad. Ok I’m not that hungry and we’re usually a
