The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin by Moonlight Muse

Chapter 157

73. Head to Head

SKYLA.

Here goes nothing…

I jump up, feeling the power within me surfacing. My Lycan’s dominant power, embodying it fully, I channel everything I have.

‘You will never win! I destroyed her and her kind a long time ago! A mere wolf is weaker than a tiger! Do you really think you can win?!’ His chilling voice wraps around me as the darkness begins spreading along the ground.

The snake and I block and attack one another. He’s trying to get those teeth into me. I can see the poison in them. The darkness around me is also trying to pull me down into that smoking abyss of the ground beneath us.

“True, in a one-on-one battle, a wolf would lose to a tiger… but that’s the difference between the two species.’ I begin grunting as I manage to slash into his side again.

He hisses, as he spins around and lunges at

I can smell blood in the air, the hissing and shouting of the wolves battling the serpents.

People are dying.

I hear the shouts as Mama is trying her best to heal.

I block but he strikes again. This time, Royce. is by my side in a flash, taking the full force of his attack, using his sword of ice to block him.

“There is no difference! You are dead! Those stripes you wear are nothing!’ His rage and hatred thrum in my mind, painful.

There’s a madness in his eyes, but the anger he’s feeling is only making his attacks more aggressive.

I channel my inner rage, but with a clear mind…

He will slip up…

‘You are no match for a god!’ Apophis hisses.

Sorry Malevolent, but remember, I count you as one of us, anyway. Sorry Bastet, I’m not taking a dig at your expired race, but facts are fucking facts.

‘And that’s why we are the superior species! A tiger may work alone, but a wolf… a wolf is part of a pack, and a pack, united, is always. stronger than the one alone… just as you are now! Because look around you! We are united!’ 7

My heart thunders as my own words echo powerfully in my own mind, knowing that every alpha in the vicinity can hear me.

I want them to know that hope is not lost!

I’m not alone… there is a calming clarity in my mind as I swing my sword at him, only for a wave of dark smoke to knock me back.

I catch my balance as Royce deflects another blow. Spinning his sword, he manages to drive it into the lower part of its jaw. He roars in rage, throwing Royce back.

‘Royce!’ I scream through the link,

He catches his balance, and as he gets to his feet I see he’s fine… but I’m fucking pissed now.

You don’t hurt my fucking man.

My eyes are blazing. I spin around and run at him with incredible speed, and slam the blade into his scaly body.
