ROYCE.

Alejandro catches Magdalene’s body before she hits the ground, laying her on the floor.

A wave of sadness washes over the room, and I lower my head for a moment in respect.

She took a stance against her goddess.

The other witches stare at her, acked, a few rushing to her side, where she lays dead.

“High Witch!”

“Magdalene!”

She gave her life to speak the truth….

Despite her stubbornness, she had her heart in the right place.

I turn my attention back towards Aleric, ready to end this once and for all.

“If you need any more proof, you are fools…” Skyla says to the people as a whisper of confusion spreads across them. “Everything I said against my family, and Royce was at his command. Ask yourselves if you really think I’m lying, or are you simply scared to admit that you have made a grave mistake by believing him? He is his father’s son!”

There is hesitation in the crowds, but it isn’t because they don’t believe her. They know they’re in the wrong and they don’t know what to do.

The witches are shaken, most of them staring at Magdalene, not knowing what to do. Die or survive?

Either choice, I cannot blame them, everyone deserves to live…

“If you are smart, you will fall back. I know you are under Hecate’s command… but you can at least try to abstain from joining the fucking battle. Those who fight against us are to be captured and held down! No one is to kill the witches! I do not want bloodshed, am I clear!” Alejandro’s voice thunders through the room, the second part of his statement directed at the werewolves.

“We believe you…”

“I knew it…”

“What a bastard…”

I see a few who look humiliated or look to Aleric for a command and they are the ones who I will remember for later…

“I Skyla Silara Rossi, the Lycan Princess and the Lioness of Bastet before the eyes of the people, reject you as my mate a May Hades welcome you to the lowest s of hell when I’m done with you.” Skyla says icily as she takes her stance before me. (4

Her power swirls around her as she reaches up, grips the collar of her dress and tears it right down the middle.

My eyes widen as she takes a moment to unhook the top skirt before shimmying out of what remains of her dress.

“There’s no way I’ll be able to move in that shit.” She mutters. 4
