The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin by Moonlight Muse Chapter 140

The Answer

ROYCE.

I’m shaking, and it’s not from the injuries but the broken state of her wrists, legs and

ankles.

The darkness disappeared the moment she fell unconscious and Delsanra’s magic slams

through.

“Royce, you’re hurt!” She murmurs as she begins healing me, but can’t they see she’s

hurt more?

“Heal her,” I say quietly as I pick up her slender hand. She’s broken several bones, and her wrist is mangled. This is the result of her fighting it. “We can’t expect her to fight it on her own.”

My eyes sting, and the pain in my chest as I see her like this is killing me. I wish her pain was mine.

Why her?

There’s silence as Kiara and Scarlett rush in

and both women and Alejandro kneel beside

Skyla.

Kiara’s hands go to both of us as I gently snap my goddess’s bones back into place.

“She’s trying to fight it,” Alejandro says quietly, and I nod.

“At what cost?” I ask, looking into his eyes. It hurts too much seeing her like this.

“We need to do something else, we can’t let her carry on like this,” I whisper as Kiara finishes healing her and wipes her hands clean. 1

“I agree,” Scarlett says,

I see Leo already scooping some of the

poison up.

“It’s not touched her, has it?” He asks.

Kiara shakes her head. “Not internally, and

I’m assuming the way she tried to cut Alejandro first meant she needs to make

sure it touches the body internally.” She

says quietly.

That makes sense…

Leo’s already taken a sample of Skyla’s blood and tested the one I had, but I don’t

know what we will find, if anything, from

them.

“Let’s kill him.” I say quietly, “When Aleric dies… this will all end.”

Hearing a gasp, I turn sharply to see Mom standing in the doorway.

“Royce…”

“No. He’s a monster, Mom. It’s foolish to let him live.” I say coldly as I scoop Skyla’s fragile body into my arms. “He’s abusing and mentally controlling her. He is not the son you think he is.”

“Lock him up, make him see that he is on

the wrong path, but killing him… how can you say that, Royce?” Her eyes are filled

with pain, but I am standing by it. He

doesn’t deserve to live.

“How? Because he’s abusing his fated mate,

he is father’s son, nothing more than an

abusive, vile, pathetic excuse for a man. How

Everyone turns sharply to her, and I frown. I had heard the queen has a kind of sixth sense. Her words hold a powerful weight and I stare down at the woman in my arms.

quietly.
