The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin
69. Deadly Intentions

ALERIC.

I catch her before she falls to the floor, watching as the contents of the syringe empties into herneck completely before slowly removing it. My heart's thumping as I look down at her. How dareshe disrespect me?

I feel angry at her, and at the same time, I want to claim her and make her mine, break her tosubmission.

I slip the syringe into my pocket, grabbing her face tightly in my hand.

She’s much more beautiful when she’s not awake... When she isn't so arrogant and feisty.

Soon... Soon she'll become mine, she'll obey me like a bitch does her owner.

I chuckle darkly at my thoughts, leaning down and kissing her lips softly.

Ah, she tastes delicious...

I glance around the bathroom, contemplating my next move, before turning and carrying her out ofthe room.

She won't remember any of this in the morning.

Her stupid cat hisses at me as she rushes to Skyla the moment I place her on the bed. The dumbfeline darts at me, scratching me across the face and I snarl, the sting burning me and I grab heraround the muzzle.

I feel something breaking as she claws my hand before I throw her across the room. She hits thecorner of the chest of drawers hard, and I'm satisfied when I hear something break. She lets out apitiful meow before her tiny body tumbles to the floor.

Better.

Stupid cat.

What kind of werewolf keeps a cat, anyway?

I glance down at her neck. This one was a little different... but he said it would accomplish what Iwas failing at...

The little pinprick on her neck is already healing...

I quickly slip her into the shorts and crop top that were laid on the bed. Something I know shewears to bed and place her under the covers. I rather she wears lace or slips.

I guess that will be one of my commands when the time comes.

I turn to leave, the anger I felt earlier still burning within me, I turn back to the bed, raising my fist asher insults from earlier ring in my head and I backhand her across the face, fucking hard.

How dare she hit me...

My chest is heaving, my eyes simmering with rage as her cat limps over to her, meowing as shebegins to nudge her.

I glare coldly at her, hissing at her, only for her to hiss back, and I smirk.

"Oh, you will be the first I will get rid of.” I mutter, glancing around the room. I frown, noticing allthe boxes in the room.

Why is she packing?

If she’s leaving that will prove a little problematic for me, but I can't give her the final dose yet... notuntil the Blood Moon... I will just have to replace a way to get close to her, regardless of place.

I have to be patient, no matter how hard that might be.

I head to the bathroom to replace the board over the window. He's given me the ability to shift, butit wasn't the same as shifting into my wolf and I don't plan to use it when I don’t need to...

Silently, I leave through the front door.

Soon.

Soon she'll be mine...

As for Royce...

My eyes blaze as I think of him.

I wish I killed him in the womb.

He doesn't deserve to live; he doesn't deserve her and above all; he doesn't fucking deserve thosepowers.

I'm stronger now, or I will be... I will be the king and he... I will leave him with nothing.

I know Royce’s weaknesses, and it will be his downfall that he thinks of them as his very strengths...What a fool.

I will target them, and he will crumble, and right now, his greatest weakness is Skyla herself.

I truly believe this time he is in love and if he is, ruining him will be even easier...

I just need to try to remain patient for a while longer...

SKYLA.

I wake suddenly, my heart racing and I have no idea why.

I look around frowning, and it takes a moment for me to gather my bearings.

The sound of birds chirping makes my attention turn to the window. The sun is shining through, andI realise it's morning.

Huh?

"What the fuck is the matter with me?” I groan, rubbing my forehead.

Malevolent is lying next to me, but she’s asleep. I stroke her soft fur and she jerks away, before sheturns her head slowly up to me and meows.

"Hey, it's just me.” I smile as she gently brushes her face against my hand. “Aww missed me?”

She meows again, and I look around, frowning.

I don't even remember getting into bed. I remember slamming the door on Aleric and then I wentto shower.

Did I lose control?

Urgh.

I grab my phone and skim through my messages before opening Royce's message.

“Morning Love, I'm bringing breakfast.’ I smile as I lean back. He had sent it fifteen minutes ago."Oh yeah, he was going to take my stuff to his place, wasn't he?

Then I better get dressed quickly. I get out of bed looking down, hmm I think I'll take a shower.“I'll go get your brekky ready Malevolent.” I say as I leave the room.

Entering the kitchen, I open a pouch of food into her bowl before I head to the bathroom.

Closing the door, I freeze, glancing at the boarded-up window. For a split second, I don't know why,but I felt as if it wasn't...

I shake my head, and sniff my armpit, urgh the joys of being a Lycan the smallest of smells get tome and to think I bathed last night.

I take a quick shower before wrapping a towel around myself and head to my bedroom.

I switch some music on, and as I decide what to wear, a devious smile crosses my lips.

“The Ice Prince is on his way... I can't simply not tease him.”

Rummaging around in my suitcase, I pull out a sexy little lace lingerie set. It's strappy and skimpyand pushes my boobs up nicely. I'm not huge, but I have enough cleavage to entice a man, orwoman, if they roll that way.

Hmm, what to put on top...

The doorbell goes and I smirk.

"Guess I have no time to look for anything to put on top.” I hum before I glance at Malevolent, whois curled up on the bed.

She's being lazy today...

I hurry to the front door, his scent hits me and I smirk, glancing in the mirror again.

I can see my piercings peeking through the lace, and my red matching thongs go well with my skintone. I turn, glancing over my shoulder at my reflection. My sexy ass looks damn fine.

Satisfied, I pull open the door with a smirk.

“Hey.” I say, running my fingers through my hair.

“Morn... ing..." He trails off, his eyes blazing blue the moment they rake over me.

My own stomach flutters as I watch him swallow, his gaze lingering on my breasts before it travelsdownwards, and I'm pleased when a low grow! leaves his lips

“You're wrecking me, Love.” He murmurs huskily as he steps inside, shutting and locking the doorbehind him.

"And I want you to wreck me.” I whisper seductively.

He places the paper bags and drinks down on the table beside the door and in a flash; he has mepinned against the wall behind me, his hands on my waist.

I look up at him, my heart pounding. Every nerve in my body is on edge as he presses his bodyagainst mine.

“Don’t tempt a beast, Doll...” His rough, sexy growl comes as his lips meet my neck.

My eyes flutter shut for a moment, relishing in his touch, my nipples hardening as his fingers diginto my waist.

Fuck, I want him so bad...

My body is screaming to be touched and fucked by him and I know once that wall is brought downthat I will see a side of him that I will never get enough of.

“What if I want to?” I whisper seductively.

I gasp when his hand wraps around my neck, applying pressure, his eyes meeting mine.

A faint smirk crosses his lips before he bends down and brushes his lips against mine.

“You have no idea what you are asking for, Love, because the moment I take you... you will want tokeep those sexy thighs of yours spread apart like a naughty little nymph, all the fucking time..."Those words send a jolt of pleasure to my pussy and fuck, I want that now.

"Hmm, show me then, show me that you are not just all talk.” I challenge him breathlessly. His eyesdarken, and I know he can smell my arousal when his nostrils flare slightly, and he inhales deeply.“I'll let you be the judge of that.” He says, and I bite my lip, feeling his hard-on as he kisses medeeply.

I can feel his hard-on against my stomach.

Hunger, desire, and passion consume me as every nerve in my body reacts to him. I moan againsthis lips as his free hand slips down my stomach, tracing my abs softly before brushing over the lacefront of my panties.

Our tongues dance erotically, and just when his hand is about to touch my pussy, I hear a painedmeow.

We both freeze, and he pulls away, turning towards Malevolent and I do the same.

My heart almost stops when I see Malevolent limping as she tries to make her way to the kitchen.My body, which was feeling hot moments ago, now feels ice cold as I rush to her side. Dropping tomy knees, I scoop her into my arms tenderly. My heart thumps violently as she whimpers and withhorror, I realise she's hurt.

"What happened to her?” Royce asks, concerned.

I can't breathe, and my eyes sting.

Not my Malevolent.

“I don't know.” I whisper, “She needs Mama!"

I stand up, looking at the door before I realise I don't have my car either.

Then I'll shift, but how will I take her? What if-

“Hey... I'll take you.” He says. “Pass me Malevolent, and get dressed?”

It takes me a moment to realise what he means, and I look down at the little bundle in my arms.She is hurt, and I didn't even notice... how did she get hurt? We were inside all night; she didn't evengo out.

Did I shift and hurt her?

Fuck, did my Lycan hurt her?

I begin shaking, and my vision blurs as tears I refuse to let fall blind me.

Royce cups my face, forcing me to look up at him and I blink, coming out of my thoughts.

“Will you give her to me?” He asks softly.

I nod, my heart squeezing as I tenderly place her in his arms. She whimpers pitifully, but I knowshe’s safe with him.

"Go get dressed.” He urges gently, and I nod, rushing to my bedroom as fast as I can.

I'm shaking as I pull on an oversized hoodie dress and grab a pair of sneakers. I have to take her toMama right now!

I come out of the bedroom, to see Royce has placed a blanket in a basket and is tucking Malevolentin. He's handling her with care...

I watch him, my heart warming before he stands up and I quickly hurry over, picking the basket up.“Ready?” He says and I nod.

“My phone.” I say, about to turn back to get it when he walks past me.

“I'll grab it.”

He returns quickly and opens the front door, and I glance at the food bags.

"We can eat on the way?" I suggest, feeling guilty.

He nods, kissing my forehead before he grabs the bags and my keys, his foot holding the dooropen before he steps out and locks up.

I look down at Malevolent as Royce pauses, glancing at the ground, and I hurry to the car. I can'twaste time.

“You're going to be ok.” I whisper to Malevolent, kissing her softly before getting into Royce's carthe moment he unlocks the doors...

Time to go see Mama.
