The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin by Moonlight Muse Chapter 89

5. A Lust for Power

ALERIC.

Ah, to be free from his pathetic existence. Royce was as good as dead when I left him and now… now I wait for the glorious news to come when Dad feels the pack link break and I know my deed is done!

I’ve always tried to be a good brother to him, always made Dad focus on me so he could do whatever he wanted!

Yet, he acted as if he had no interest in power or the Alpha position, but he did! How sly of him to pretend that he didn’t care, only to try to get ahead of me. He was a manipulative, fake, sly bastard!

The fact he had such power and kept it from me shows he just wanted to get one up on me. He was plotting to overthrow me. That bastard has been biding his time.

I clench my fists as I walk up the mansion steps, the warm lights of the mansion bathe over me. My mansion, all of this is mine, the title of alpha, the Arden businesses, and all the Arden assets.

All are mine.

Is this how it feels to be at peace? With the so-called prophesied King out of the way, the title of High Alpha will be mine.

Stepping inside, Charles bows his head to me, as he welcomes me home, but I don’t reply. I can hear Mother’s shouts of anguish.

Have they already found out that he’s dead?

That’s faster than I presumed, considering I know Apophis wants the body.

I do feel bad for her. I caused her some pain, but she’ll be fine. Pasting a look of concern on my face, I stride swiftly to the lounge.

“I can’t get in contact with Royce! Brenda said Quade went to meet him! Find my son!” Mother’s screams ring through the marble hallways.

I enter through the archway to see she’s being held back by two guards as Dad paces around, a phone to his ear, before he pulls it away and types something, a deep frown on his face.

“Unhand my mother.” I say calmly to the two guards. They don’t agree, and it takes my all to hide my irritation.

The men look at Dad but refuse to listen, waiting for his command.

“She wants to go to find Royce, and I can’t get in contact with him. Have you spoken to him? I felt two pack links break.” Dad says quietly, looking up at me. He’s pale, and although he’s talking calmly, I can sense he is far more worried than I had thought he would be.

Two pack links….

My heart thuds with excitement. He’s dead! I did it!

“No, I haven’t.” I reply with concern. “When did you feel the pack link break?”

“Close together. We need to confirm Royce is alright.” Dad says, his pale eyes on me.

He’s long dead… but Dad’s concern is disturbing me a little. Why is he so concerned? He has me! It’s not like Royce would have listened to him.
