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.

“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.
