The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

Chapter 103

19. Through Her Eyes

SKYLA.

Someone whistles and Charlotte tosses her hair, something tells me from the way she’s dressed that Dante has managed to tell them that Royce is alive. She now saunters to the front.

“You may probe my mind, but I would do it swiftly, before anything or anyone tries to interfere with the truth.” She says looking at Magdalene confidently.

Mama has already healed Janaina, but she still looks tired and obviously not up to performing the spell once again.

“I’ll do it!” Sephora says standing up and strides over to Charlotte, like a fucking bull ready to attack.

Charlotte cocks a brow, frowning. “Fine, whatever.

Sephora nods as Magdalene frowns but motions for her to carry on.

Seeing a slight movement from the corner of my eyes from Leo, I turn and scan the room realising that in the commotion everyone was now at a location that covered centre ground.

Delsanra and Rayhan were right behind Aleric, Mama was behind Janaina, Azura and Mama Red were to the right and Dad was on the right…

Raihana and Kataleya were standing on either side of Charlotte, and I could tell from the subtle way Kat’s hand was positioned, she was ready to use her trademark move if the need arose.

They created the ultimate barrier around Charlotte, if anyone tried anything, they wouldn’t succeed. She risked a lot to come here, and it is our duty to keep her safe.

Magdalene frowns, as she watches Sephora who whispers the spell with a flare that makes Raihana roll her eyes. She places her fingers on Charlotte’s forehead, and I take a slow deep breath, my innocence is riding on her now. Would this work or would her memory somehow be tampered with?

“Charlotte! What are you doing to her!?” Aleric shouts, about to rush forward when Rayhan grabs his arm.

“Easy there… she’s not going to get hurt.” He says, his voice calm and clear, yet there’s a warning in it.

Aleric glances sharply back at his sister as the room changes back to that night and he pulls free from Rayhan’s hold.

“She better not.” He says venomously.

Hmm, we might need a Who’s who is the best-haired Alpha contest. That would be a good way to get people to pay to cast their vote… I push the thoughts away focusing on the scene around me, they’re in a car, This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Someone’s in danger.” My man says as he drives dangerously fast, rushing toward the woods…

They get out of the car, and she’s staring at the dead body near my car, before Royce throws her a sword… She’s now running through the woods… they see the body on the floor, frothing at the mouth…

“Holy…”

The sound of hissing and shouts fills the room and then I see myself, in Lycan form, pure white with splashes of blood, claws raised as a bolt of lightning flashes in the sky.

Murmurs ripple through the room.

“Is that a Lycan?”

“That looks like the king’s…”

But I’m tense, knowing what’s to come and sure enough I disappear… intense power blasts around Royce.

His hair whips around his face as his entire body is surrounded by a crackling ice-blue aura almost as if a thousand bolts of lightning are wrapped around him, running through the blade in his hand.

A murmur fills the room as Charlotte cries out in the memory, “Royce!”

Then the invisible Death-Noodle turns, his one good eye focused on Royce… the blinding clash is intense, and we all have to shield our eyes and Royce jumps into the scare.

“Holy mother fucker…” Dad says and I second that… I got to admit it looks like a fucking action movie, and the best part? The hero is mine.

I wish he could be here for the reactions as everyone gasps at the fact he remains airborne for longer than is possible. Did he just fly or some shit?

He raises his sword and I’m sure that’s the blade I had thought was the bolt of lightning in my delirious state that night, because it kind of fucking is.

It connects with something, a menacing hiss fills the room, and the snake suddenly materialises, leaving everyone in the room shocked as blood rains down.

Butt-naked, sorry-assed me tumbles out of it, and is dumped unceremoniously on the ground.

Wow, I look ridiculous. I do have a nice peach though.

“Oh, my god!” Charlotte gasps.

“Sky! Fuck! Charlotte, call Alejandro Rossi!”

The rest is roughly how I remember it…

“Yo listen… if I die… make sure you don’t tell people I became a snake delicacy…” I pout as my weak voice fills the room before my body begins convulsing.

I hear some of the boys snicker at that and know I won’t hear the end of it.

It continues for a bit. Royce rushing to get me to the Luminaria pack and Charlotte casts a final glance at the dead serpent.

Yeah, it’s no fucking beast from Earth, the sheer size, its form… It’s obvious they are from out of this fucking world.

Sephora gasps as she pulls back, her chest heaving as everyone looks at Charlotte. The courtroom is dead silent as everyone’s mind replays what they have just seen.

“The Solaris king is born.” Janaina says, her voice holding a tone I can’t pin. “He’s here…”

That is her first reaction? I’m sure she doesn’t know about Heaven’s prophecy, so what does she mean?

I mean, from an outside perspective, that would seem the least of the worries… but I wonder if she knows something. There’s a look in her eyes, her face pale as she stares at us.

“This memory was also not tampered with…” Magdalene murmurs.

“But the other two memories aligned. How can we be certain this is the correct one?” Sephora asks.

“Oh zip it. Skyla is clearly being framed and can you not see that huge serpent that Royce Arden killed? Something is going on and I think everyone should be aware that there is a god involved.” Raihana says icily.

Yeah, shut the fuck up.

“These attacks have been going on for a while-” Grandad El is cut off when Heather’s father stands up.

“Oh? Then why didn’t we know!”

“Wasn’t that putting us at risk?”

“I get it, but it was a decision made to not alarm anyone. We didn’t think it would become so serious.” Dad says gravely, I think seeing the snake shook him too…

“We do agree that this is something that the public should be aware of. We all know that something is at work. The supernatural species in the world are changing. More beings that we have never come across before are showing up. However, it was a joint decision of the council.” Rayhan says.

Leo nods as he stands up.

“Indeed… and I think the sooner everyone realises that we need to protect ourselves, the better. Years ago, training and the instincts to survive were something instilled into us. We’ve become relaxed… I think it’s high time these things are made a focus again.”
