The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Chapter 51

ROYCE.

“Give me a minute, I need to check if my sister is alright.” I say, knowing I sound cold, but I need a moment, turning I leave the room.

Prescott is pacing the hall, but I can tell he’s mind linking. He’s frowning, and I can sense his worry. He sighs and runs his fingers through his beard.

“Has my sister arrived yet?” I ask him when he finally turns to me.


“She’s on her way. The two bodies have been collected and the king ordered them to be brought here…” He hesitates.

There’s something different in his behaviour. He’s different from the panicked Alpha I had seen when I came in. He looks almost uneasy.

“What is it?” I ask, frowning.

“There’s… there was no sign of this apparent monster, Alpha Arden.” He says quietly.

I frown as I look up at him sharply. “What do you mean there was no sign of the body? I killed it. It was there.”

“Ah yes… you did say that… but there is nothing in the woods.” He huffs, shaking his head. “However, my men have brought Skyla Rossi’s car and cat here for the time being, until the King gives us further instructions. But your story is… intriguing.”

How?

I shake my head. Maybe it did disappear, but there were clear signs of mass destruction.

“There was blood everywhere. The entire area in the woods was destroyed, so many trees were ripped up and the bodies of two young girls were found. That is enough proof that the unseen monster was there. Your men saw that at least, correct?” I ask.

He shakes his head slowly. “No, I have no idea what part of the woods you mean, Alpha Royce. As for these bodies, that is all there was. Just two girls murdered.” There’s a suspicious look in his eyes and I frown.

“Murdered.”

What is he insinuating?

“Yes, perhaps someone did this…”

My heart thuds. What is going on?

“She’s been poisoned… is that not proof enough?”

“By a venom that the Ardens possess, your father, Alpha Kenneth, was adamant to attain that venom from past attacks, to perform some tests on.” A second voice says from behind me. I turn and look at the head warrior of the Luminaria pack.

To create an anti-venom, exactly what I used on Skyla.

“Care to explain?” Prescott asks.

I shake my head. A few loose strands of my makeshift bun fall in front of my forehead.

“When people have their minds made up, you can declare the truth or present proof, but they will not listen. The small-minded will still believe and stick to the first version of the story they heard.”

He looks offended at my words, but I really am not in the mood.

There’s a lot more I want to say but I bite my tongue. If they are so untrusting of us, why even let Dad on the council?

I know the answer… They had needed the investment from the Arden Empire for the startup of the academies… it was a business deal. Everyone is the same in the end…

“Are you insinuating that we are small-minded Alpha Royce?”

“No, I was talking about the chickens in your pen,” I reply sarcastically.

He looks confused, and I internally roll my eyes.

What a bloody idiot.
