The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Chapter 123

A Beautiful Moment

ROYCE.

My heart is racing as I hear their footsteps approach. I’d recognise Mom’s heartbeat anywhere… and right now it’s racing as she steps inside the office that I’m waiting in.

She doesn’t know that today I haven’t just brought myself to her, but someone else too.

“Royce,” her voice is thick as she fights her emotions.

I turn and give her a smile. She looks beautiful in a white dress that lights up her eyes.

The first woman in my life, the first goddess. who I’ll always respect, the woman who went through so much pain to bring me onto this planet. My mother. 5

She stops in the doorway, her eyes glimmering with tears that she’s so desperately trying to contain, and I close the gap between us, pulling her into my arms.

“Royce,” she whispers as she clutches onto me tightly. “Thank the gods.”

She cups my face, tugging me down and kisses my forehead and cheeks as a few tears trickle down her cheeks.

She’s examining my face as if making sure I’m not hurt… just like she used to do long ago.

“I’m alright Mom,” I reassure her before taking her hands and kissing them gently.

“Great, there goes my makeup.

I glance up to see Charlotte standing there, looking a little emotional too, and I reach over, motioning her to come closer.

She obeys, and I wrap my arm around her tightly. I kiss her forehead before I hug them both.

“Where have you been? What is going on?

Why do we have to hide the truth from your father and brother? I’m terrified to think of the possibilities… and you faked your death, Royce… why?”

Deep down, I know she knows something is wrong.

Tonight, I’m going to give my mother happiness… and at the same time, I’m going to destroy her with my father’s truth.

I kiss the top of her head, inhaling her scent.
