The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Chapter 19. First Lesson

SKYLA.

“Alright.”

His words surprise me, and he takes á step back. He’s backing down?

“Alright?” I ask, unable to hide the surprise from my voice.


He raises an eyebrow.

You don’t want to

listen then fine; we’ll move on. You might be a werewolf, but we can get muscle cramps, even if it’s momentarily, warming up is ideal, but it’s your call.”

I wasn’t expecting that… I step back, wondering how he combatted his ego.

“I’m surprised you backed down.”

“Is it that surprising?” He asks, a hand to

his chin as he observes me.

“Yeah, since you’re an Alpha…” I say trying

not to pay attention to his Adam’s apple.

He raises one of those eyebrows of his, his smouldering eyes burning into me.

“Being an Alpha doesn’t only mean walking

around and displaying arrogance, there’s far

more to being an Alpha… Above all an

Alpha’s duty is to protect. I genuinely want to help you to attain control.”

My heart thuds as I stare at him, he’s getting under my skin again and as much as I want to lash out so he doesn’t see that side, a part of me wonders what would happen if he actually finds a way? 2

I don’t know, I mean everyone has tried…

“I don’t think you’ll be able to help me.” I say quietly, dropping onto the floor and doing a few stretches. I can feel him

watching me and so I lift my legs straight up and hold the position for a few seconds, so he can’t see my face.

“What makes you say that? We haven’t even

tried.” He asks as he drops to the floor, heck

even that looks sexy, and does a few

stretches himself. I look up at him, and a few

strands that have escaped his hair tie fall in front of his eyes.

“No one has succeeded, not Mama, not Dad, my brother…”

Ok, I didn’t even let Dante try, because I hate how he hits too close to home, I hate that he probably knows what I’m feeling inside. Avoiding any serious conversation with Dante is my favourite pastime, well that and annoying the heck out of him.

‘Face your demons Sky, and everything else will fall into place.’

That was enough to shut him out.

I don’t want to face my issues, I always fail…

“Maybe because they are family, and you don’t want to share what’s going on deep inside or the expectations… I get how it is when you’re not the perfect child. There are

things that trigger you Skyla, we just need to get to the bottom of what they are.”

“And what makes you think I’ll be telling

you Golden Boy- I mean sir.” I smirk, but I can’t deny his words are getting to me.
