The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Chapter 30. My Defiance

SKYLA.

I had grabbed a baggy cream knit top and pulled it over my crop top, pushing it back from my shoulders so it would cover my ass up, until Dad drops me at school, anyway. I’m sitting in the car, with my earPods in and tapping my foot to the beat of the music.

“Can we try to talk about this?” He says, looking over at me.

“No,” I say, glancing at him but refusing to switch my music off.

He sighs, frowning as he stares out ahead at the winding road. “You know we’re worried about you Sky. That’s why we’re here, to help you and fucking be there for you. It’s fine to struggle, it’s fine not to be fucking in control. It’s fine to let others see that.”

No, it’s not and I’m dealing… somewhat.

Mama had healed me, the pain of the poisons and the bite were gone, and I feel alive. Not sure if that’s a good thing,

considering I might lose control faster.

“Fucking talk to me Sky.”

“You know what the problem is?” I say, taking my pods out and looking at Dad pointedly.

“I’m all fucking ears.” He replies, turning on the heating to clear the steam from the

windshield.

I sigh, frustrated. “You’re being pushy. I’m fine, like I’m fucking fine. Can you like just stop getting in my business? I know you care for me, but seriously I’m doing ok. I’m trying to figure my shit out.”

He frowns, but I think he’s gotten the

picture that no, I’m not going to share my issues.

He sighs but says nothing. I’m not sure if

it’s because he doesn’t want to rile my Lycan up or if he genuinely accepted I’m not going to give in. Either way, I’m cool with it.

We fall silent, and Dad reaches over. Cupping the back of my head, he rubs it

gently. Just the way he did when I was a kid… my chest constricts and tugs painfully, but I refuse to let him see that side… 7

“So, what’s going on between you and Arden?” He asks, ruffling my hair.

My heart skips a beat, but I try to remain as normal as possible. He sits back and I give him a mock glare as I shake my head, fixing my curls. Not that they were styled anyway.

“You were there. Didn’t you hear our conversation?” I ask, cocking a brow.

He glances at me, and I keep my face straight. He knows I know how good his hearing is and although I’m not sure if he heard or not, I’m going to pretend like he did.

“Not much considering the music and everyone else there…” He frowns. 1

I shrug casually. “Well, you know me. I like to get under others’ skin. I actually saw him at a club before I even knew he was my

teacher, and we may have flirted.”
