The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin by Moonlight Muse Chapter 139 Blood & Poison SKYLA.
STOP!
I scream internally as I try to stop myself from tilting my hand to spill the poison. I can feel my body becoming tense as I fight against myself.
I wonât kill my father!
I wonât!
Itâs like Iâm possessed. My body has a mind of its own and itâs terrifying.
A part of me is trying to keep my arm straight and the other part of me is hell-
bent on spilling the poison into the incisions. my nails have made on Dadâs back.
No. I will never hurt anyone.
No!
Iâm not a monster!
Iâm stronger than this! Fuck!
A sickening crunch fills the room and Dad instantly pulls me back as a scream leaves my lips.
I broke my wrist. 2 The power that is holding my body captive, clearly ready to go to any lengths to succeed, agony rips up my arm as the door flies open.
âWhat theâ¦â Dad says as Royce and Leo stand there in the doorway, ice encases the poison vial that I hold in my hand as I stare at my wrist.
âSky!â Royce says, and heâs by my side instantly as Dad gently snaps my wrist back into place.
I gasp, the pain vanishing but itâs no victory ⦠even if I delayed it⦠even if I tried.
The hold he has on me is strong enough to go to any lengths. Even if that means breaking me to accomplish what Aleric wants of meâ¦
My eyes blaze plum as I feel the hold growing, and I glare at them.
âUnfreeze me!â I scream as it clicks that they have thwarted my plan.
I need the potion! What have I done! I failed!
âShe fought it.â Leo murmurs and I realise it was all a setup. They were trying to see what Iâd do⦠3 Not one of the three looks shocked.
âYou are strong, Sky,â Dad says as my eyes. snap to the mirror behind me, a full-body mirror⦠did he see me slip the potion out of my pocket? 1 My heart is pounding as I glare at Leo, him. leaving, the way he was acting. It was all an act! My eyes snap to the doorway where Delsanra and Rayhan are standing.
They knew! They knew why I was here!
âDid Aleric ask you to do this?â Royce asks, forcing the frozen bottle of potion from my n hands.
âWHATâS IT TO YOU?!â I snarl, shoving him. hard. Heâs knocked back, but Dad wraps his arms around me from behind, pinning me down as I struggle violently against him.
Heâs fucking strong!
âCalm down, Sky, you fought it. You are stronger than it!â He says, his deep gravelly voice is comforting, yet at the same time, itâs cutting into me like knives.
âThere is no recording, no sighting or anything of anyone going in thereâ¦â
Rayhan says to Leo.
âBut she knew what she was looking for,â Delsanra adds quietly.
Theyâre talking about the bathroom.
âSo. You all were spying on me and to think you were pretending to care⦠pretending to treat me normally! Yet you were watching me like Iâm a criminal!â I say, glaring at Leo. âI will kill you first!â I hiss.
1 Heâs behind all of this!
Heâs the fucking brains!
He doesnât react to me, as he watches me calculatingly.
âLove⦠look at me,â Royce says, his voice is like a soothing river that I want to hold on to.
Heâs still holding the poison and that part of me that I hate is screaming for me to get it back.
I look at him, forcing myself to think of a plan as I struggle in Dadâs hold. Heâs finding it hard to contain me, but ever since Royce marked me, Iâve become stronger, too.
And right now, that strength and evil within me is terrifying me.
âLook at me, Lil Lucifer.â
âNo!â I scream as Royce cups my face. The tingle that always makes me crazy every time he touches me jolts through me.
My eyes blaze as he presses his forehead to mine.
âFight it, you can do this,â he whispers as Dad steps back. I can feel Delsanraâs power swirling around the ground, ready in case I try to do something.
âThereâs nothing to fight!â I shout.
I have already played innocent with Dad. It is of no use. Theyâll be on the lookout for me to do that again. Not this time⦠this time I will not use the same plan.
I struggle against Royce, hitting his chest, trying to push him back, but he spins me around, pinning my arm behind me, and I find myself facing the mirror.
His other hand rests low on my stomach, yanking me against him, sending a jolt of pleasure through me as I try to break free. I keep struggling until his lips touch my neck and I freeze.
My heart is pounding as a thousand emotions course through me.
This is where I belong.
Our position, the way his touch feels, Iâm thrown back down memory lane remembering that moment in the club.
My heart thuds as his lips trail kisses up my neck. Thereâs nothing innocent about them ⦠These kisses are sensual, seductive and with an underlying promise of so much more.
âYou have been blessed by Bastet, you are made to overcome this,â he murmurs when his lips meet my ear, making my breath hitch. âNo one can control you, no one has the fucking right to control you and above all ⦠you will never settle for thatâ¦. Fight it.â
I want to! Fuck, I want to!
Agonising pain splits through me as I try to calm myself down, but just when I think I might just be able to break free, the darkness rears his head. And I turn in a flash, with the speed that my Lycan is blessed with or maybe cursed with; Ripping into his chest.
âRoyce!â Someone shouts, but I donât care.
Kill him.
Kill him.
Kill him now!
That is the only thought in my head, I shove him to the floor, his eyes wide with surprise as I plunge my hand into his stomach, he tries to pull free, his aura raging around him, and a dark smoke begins to fill the room.
âDel now!â Dad shouts.
âWait!â Royce shouts, I hear her chanting something, but the smoke is rising.
âGive me time!â Royce shouts, unbothered that his torso is an ugly mess of blood and ripped flesh.
âIâm fine! Get out!â Royce shouts as he grabs my wrist and flips me onto my back as he straddles me.
I snarl venomously as that darkness grows. Itâs weighing down on me and with it, itâs giving me the strength I need. I punch Royce in the jaw. Hard.
My eyes are blazing as we struggle on the ground. Soon the sound of the rest of them is drowned out as they try to figure out how to penetrate this dark cocoon that now encircles us.
Itâs making matters worse!
I should kill himâ¦
No.
Stop.
Iâm hurting Royce!
Thereâs blood all over the floor. Itâs covering my claws and hands, and his shirt is drenched with blood, but he isnât using his powers against me.
The love in his eyes, the concern theyâre tearing into me, filling me with guilt and pain.
Pleaseâ¦
âFuck!â I snarl Fight back!
He isnât simply trying to contain me.
I hear the clatter of the potion bottle falling from his pocket and hitting the floor. We both glance at it, darting for it at the same time.
I kick him back, snatching it up as ice spreads across the floor of Dadâs office, which now looks like itâs right out of a fucking horror movie.
The ice suddenly begins wrapping around my legs. I raise my hand, smashing the bottle on the ground.
The black liquid spills onto the ice and I smile victoriously.
One touch of this in his woundsâ¦.
I smear my hands over it like a madwoman, desperate to salvage it and rush at Royce, breaking free from the ice that binds me.
Pain rips through my knees and it takes me.
a few moments to realise Iâve brokkes me something.
I yank free from the ice around my feet, and he swears, fear flashing in his eyes, and itâs only then I glance down to see Iâve broken my ankles to get to him.
Iâm terrified of what my body is doing as I raise my hand, ready to rake them down his chest.
Iâll kill him.
No.
Not him.
âStop⦠meâ¦â I croak summoning every ounce of strength I have to smash my hands into the ice beneath me. I should get that poison into me⦠maybe itâll stop me!
âSky!â He makes to stop me, but I stare at him and something in my eyes makes him.
pause.
Stop me from doing something Iâll regret!
Our eyes meet and I know he can see the pain inside of me. Fuck, Iâm trying so hard⦠pleaseâ¦.
âIâm sorry, Love.â He whispers before he raises his hand and strikes my neck. A sharp pain rushes through me before I crumble forward, and my world turns blackâ¦
