The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin by Moonlight Muse Chapter 151 Her Sacrifice SKYLA Aleric and I both turn sharply. My stomach does a flip when I spot him.
There he stands, the Solaris Sword of the king, in the hands of the Solaris King himself.
Thereâs my man.
My Reign.
My Alpha.
My Fucking King. 6 Heâs wearing a white formal shirt that hugs his muscles and grey pants.
A murmur ripples through the room as a sharp wind blows around him and he strides across the hall, cutting through the crowds as he reaches the dais. A few witches jump forward, but his shield of violent wind is impenetrable.
âRoyce!â Aleric snarls, raising his hand, flames rippling around his hand.
Royce doesnât reply as he steps onto the dais, skipping the three steps and reaching me in seconds.
His arm snakes around my waist, and he yanks me against him, making me gasp.
My heart pounding, as every ridge of his body. moulds against mine. Oh so perfectlyâ¦
âROYCE!â Aleric thunders.
Royce simply raises his sword, forcing him to keep his distance, his eyes on me.
âOne night without you is far too long.â He whispers, and then his lips are on mine. 2 He kisses me with a passion that ignites the inferno of pleasure and desire within me.
A powerful wind keeps Aleric away as several witches began chanting spells.
âNow!â
A blinding light fills the sky, and the runes encase the entire dome as a few witches hiss, pulling back their magic.
âStop her!â
âWhat is he doing!â
âAlpha Aleric was right. He deserves to be in prison!â
âWill you really just stand and watch this happen, Alpha Alejandro?!â
Lignore them, locking my arms around Royceâs neck and kissing him back harder, passion and desire running through my veins and above all.
Deep, powerful love, emotions that all combine. together, in the name of that very love.
Heaven.
This tastes and feels like heaven.
Sweet, seductive, and like a breeze of air.
My Winter God.
I feel him throb against me, my own core heated and I canât wait for later when we can fuck one anotherâs brains outâ¦
âIf I watch someone take control of her body and soul, then I will willingly watch the man she loves kiss her,â Dad says, his voice icy.
I wonder if the last part was hard for him to say?
Royce pulls away, his eyes blazing blue,.
âYou came for me,â I say softly, yet clear enough that everyone in this room could hear 1.
âAlways.â
He was my signal.
âSkyla. Skyla, what are you doing?â Aleric asks, his voice shaking.
âWhat I have always wanted until you ruined my life! Not only putting me under your control but abusing me repeatedly. Who hits a woman?! Royce is the one who has never hurt me!â I hiss, glaring at the cunt, lifting the mask of deception I have worn since yesterday.
Royce tenses and I know itâs because I mentioned the hitting⦠I look up at him and give him a reassuring smile.
âIâm fine,â I whisper, touching his jaw.
âThe⦠How⦠Youâ¦â Alericâs tone changes from confused to angry in seconds as he tries to keep his image.
Struggling with how to react.
Itâs on him now. Let the truth be known or pretend to be innocent.
I can guarantee heâll lose his shit. I just need him to do that soon.
âStop him!â One of the witches says pointing at Royce.
âMy daughter will ask for help if she needs it. No one will intervene! Thatâs what you all said last time, right?â Dad warns menacingly, stopping the few who have moved forward in their tracks. 1 âRoyce is innocent. He always has been.â I say quietly.
Royce tilts his head, his gorgeous eyes skimming over me, and my gaze dips to his neck.
I look up at him through my lashes, tugging open his shirt a little and kiss his neck sensually.
Fuck, he tastes so fucking good.
As much as I want to mark him⦠I want to do so this time with him buried inside of meâ¦
I lick my lips as Alericâs flames rage around him and I turn to face him.
âWhat is the meaning of this⦠you lied to me!â Aleric says, his voice trembling, his eyes blazing, shifting into those of a snakeâ¦
âNo, I simply broke the hold that you had on me. I am not the Lioness for nothing.â I say. â Apophis may have chosen you, Aleric, and helped you control me, but I have not only Bastet behind me but the support of my family and the man I love!â
Thereâs confusion in the crowd of guests. I know my aim is to defeat Aleric, but I want them to see his true colours first.
âYou have raised your hand to me three times since you took me from my fatherâs home only yesterday! You are trying to form me into this woman that I am not! Itâs time that the people learn the truth and those who fucking blindly trusted you are idiots!â
âLies!â One of the witches says.
âIs it? Arenât the gods playing us?! Did Hecate not go against what is right to return the favour she owed Apophis?!â I growl.
People look around and Magdalene steps forward.
âBefore I speak, my king and my sistersâ¦. Take heed of my wordsâ¦â Her voice echoes in every corner of the room and something tells me beyond this hall, too.
She takes a deep breath.
âI name Serafina, first-born daughter from the line of The Dark Witch Endora, direct descendant of house Di Bianco Galdur as my successor and supreme high witch of the Coven of England!â Her voice echoes off the wall, and my stomach twists as Dad moves towards her.
I know what sheâs about to do.
âMagdalene, you donât need-â
âIt was an honour to work alongside you, King of the Wolves. You and your nephew united more than your own species. Ended the hunterâs reign, exposed the evil amongst us and the slaughter of our witches.â She replies gravely. But I am older. I know what I am doing.â
Sheâs going to tell the truth of the witches and it will cost her⦠for disobeying Hecateâ¦.
âYou donât need to, please, we-âI begin.
I donât want someone else to die!
((
She smiles, âI am growing old, child. It is the least I can do to make up for Hecateâs betrayal to not only our peace treaty but to her daughters.â
Fuck.
She closes her eyes as a few witches stare at her.
âI confirm that the Lycan Princess tells nothing but the truth. We are forced to obey Apophis and his favoured, Aleric James Arden, for the next thirteen moons⦠Something I would rather die before doing!â 1 A blinding light fills the room as her eyes roll and she collapses, her life source gone in the blink of an eye.
Just like that⦠sheâs dead.3
