The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin by Moonlight Muse Chapter 82. A Father’s Rage

KIARA.

“Calm down, Mama.” Dante says as I pace the lounge, nibbling at my nails, something I never do, but I’m not going to deny that I’m terrified of his reaction.

Last night Alejandro had instantly called Darien to find out whose pack link broke, but no one had raised an alarm but it had also worried him and so he is returning to make sure those pack members not in the country and those who are elsewhere are all safe.

I know I’m going to have to tell him straight away, but the very thought is making me anxious.

“I can’t. You know your father.” I murmur, closing my eyes when I feel his voice through the mind link.

He’s in range.

‘Hey… Any idea what happened, Amore Mio?’ He asks.

Goddess…

‘Come home, I’ll fill you in.’ I say, dropping onto the sofa and running my hands through my hair.

“Mom. You’re shaking.” Dante says, concern clear in his voice as he kneels in front of me taking my hands in his and I realise I am.

“He’s…” I close my eyes. “He is going to lose it.”

I’ve never felt more scared to see Alejandro’s reaction than I am now. He had already been unable to tolerate the fact Skyla was dating someone and was serious about it, despite Royce being a good person. I hoped he would have come to terms sooner or later, but marked… this is an entirely different ball game.

Oh goddess, how am I going to explain this?

“I’m right here. I can handle him and so can you. None of us can change the past. What is done, is done. He’s going to have to accept it or be prepared to lose his daughter. The choice is in his hands.”

He glances towards the window, and my heart skips a beat when I hear the front door open.

He’s here…

The lounge door opens and both Dante and I stand up as I look at my mate.

He looks as handsome as ever, his salt and pepper hair falling across his forehead clearly showing lack of sleep and the fact he’s run his fingers through it numerous times. His shirt is slightly rumpled, his sleeves pushed up, and a few buttons open showing off the chains around his neck.

“What the fuck happened?” He asks, as he comes over to me, pulling me into his arms and kissing me hard.

I kiss him back, trying to calm myself and pour the same calmness through the link, but my heart is still beating violently, the fear of him losing it is not something I can just push away and I’m failing to calm us both down.

He moves back, his hands still on my waist as he tilts his head, his eyes narrow as he observes me sharply. “What am I missing? Something tells me I will not like what I’m about to fucking hear, am I fucking correct?

“Sit down.” I say, pushing him onto the sofa and sitting beside him, placing my hands on his shoulder and thigh.

Dante steps back, crossing his arms.

‘Good luck, you got this.’ He says to me through the link
