The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin by Moonlight Muse

Chapter 145

61. The Witches

RAIHANA. 3

My heart is hollow.

I never knew a person can feel so empty…

When a thousand emotions should be coursing through me, ripping into me like a plague, clawing away into me, I’m oddly… blank.

That is how I was feeling until last night when I realised that my family needs me.

It left me numb. I somehow manage to turn my emotions off, almost.

A part of me wonders if subconsciously I have cut my emotions off. A dangerous little trick that witches can do… because without our emotions… we are far more deadly…

But… my family needs me, my children need me, and I need vengeance.

For my man.

The last conversation I had with him before we parted ways that day replay in my wind.

(FLASHBACK)

“Hey, kiss me goodbye,” Chris smirks cockily as he pulls me back into his arms.

I roll my eyes, “I’ll be seeing you in half an hour. Wasn’t that kiss enough?” I ask airily, raising my eyebrow as I run my hand up his shoulders.

“That was a peck, but I admit even if it was a kiss that lasted a million lifetimes, it wouldn’t be enough,” he replies. “Now princess, how about you give me a good one.”

I smile and yank him down, pressing my lips against his. My stomach does a flip just like it did that very first time and I can’t help but feel turned on when he squeezes my ass and presses me against himself.

‘I can’t wait until tonight.’ He growls through the link.

‘You have something planned, don’t you?’ I ask, trying to stifle my moan as his tongue ravishes my mouth.

‘You’ll have to wait until tonight to find out.’ 6

(END OF FLASHBACK)

That crushing feeling in my chest is there. I’m just hiding behind a wall.

I clutch my hand to my chest. “I’ll never know,” I whisper out loud. 2

Fresh tears fall and I close my eyes taking a deep breath. I didn’t sleep much, but it’s fine. The sun has begun to rise, and I have things to do.

Delsanra, Rayhan and I have been looking through some old books that once belonged to Endora, my evil grandmother, to see if we can find anything on Apophis. Whilst the others have been looking into everything linked with Bastet and Apophis.

I wash my face and run a comb through my hair.

He loved my hair open…

It was one of his favourite things about me.

The urge to cut it off crosses my mind, but I smile bitterly.

That would be foolish. It would only show my family that I’m being affected.

I am stronger than that…

Even if I’m breaking inside, I will fight, because that is what Chris would have wanted of me, and because I am a fighter, like my mother.
