13. In the Middle of the Night


    SKYLA.


    I see its shadow loom in the tiny window, which is far too small for it to fit through. Heck, I just about


    managed to fit! Thank god I’m not blessed with Mama’s curves or my ass wouldn’t have fitted through


    that damn window and that snake would have had my ass for dinner. Can you just imagine me walking


    around with my ass bitten off? I''ll probably be dead soon after.


    Silently I climb into the bathtub, shuddering at the thought. I can feel that chilling aura grow, and I can


    hear its breathing outside. Silently I ce my hand over Malevolent’s mouth, steadying my breathing as


    I lie down in the bath, not wanting to be seen…


    Go away…


    I hear a distant, powerful growl that makes my heart soar. Is someone out there? I hear a hiss before


    something huge ms into the side of the cottage, not once, but twice.


    Fuck!


    I flinch, praying the walls hold, and I’m about to run from the bathroom, but suddenly there’s silence.


    Exhaling deeply, I wait for a few moments about to get up when I hear footsteps.


    Human footsteps…


    Control… I can feel my Lycan wanting to burst forward, but its anger won’t help. I can’t let anyone know


    what I am… I close my eyes before the footsteps fade away and I quietly sit up. ncing towards the


    window, I slowly pad to the door and rush out to the main hall. Running to the front door, I quickly shut


    it, locking it.


    I need to block up the back window. I run my fingers through my hair, letting out a shaky breath.


    I stare down at myself. It’s so cold I can feel it in my bones, and I can see the wound that I had gotten


    when its fang had managed to scrape me is still bleeding. I frown, looking at the side of my breast that


    isn’t seeming to heel. That’s where it’s fang got me…


    “Meow?” Malevolent watches me.


    “Oh it’s ok my little minion, it’s just a scratch… and we can’t tell Dad or he’ll be cing me in a bloody


    cage made of gold or something.” I shiver, damn why do I feel so cold?


    She jumps from my arm, nudging my ankles as she brushes against me.


    I frown as I stagger to the kitchen to grab the first aid box. I’m exhausted. I drop onto the chair, opening


    the box with shaking hands. Hopefully, it’s not poison. I apply some cleansing herbs, although thebel


    says it’s more for wolfsbane and silver. I clean away all the blood. Ah well, it’ll be fine. I ce a square


    bandage on the side of my breast when there’s a knock on the door, making me freeze.


    Who the hell would be here at this time? Maybe it’s one of Prescott’s guards. I did hear that growl


    earlier. My heart thuds trying to figure out a story as I rush to the bedroom and grab one of my satin


    nightgowns. I put it on, tie the belt and spray a good amount of perfume on top to get rid of any


    lingering smell of blood and head to the door, I pause ncing in the small mirror that hangs on the


    wall and practice my most sleepy face.


    Perfect.


    I walk to the door and pull it open keeping my eyes half hooded as I look at the man standing there, all


    fake sleep vanishes when they fly open staring sharply at none other than Royce, crouching on the


    step, holding my phone that I must have dropped earlier.


    “Sk?” He says, clearly as shocked as I am. My heart thuds and I wonder what he’s doing here… I


    get that Prescott was allied with the Shadow Wolves Pack but this ce isn’t too far from his actual


    pack grounds, it’s still his territory was it ok to be on it past midnight? “You live here…” Royce murmurs


    as he stands up.


    I don’t reply, making the mistake of looking him over the moment I realise he’s shirtless.


    Oh, fuck me now… He has the hottest body I have ever fucking seen and trust me, I’ve seen a lot…


    defined abs, a sharp cut V, tan sexy skin and every single ridge of his body is made to be devoured. I’d


    happilyther him with whipped cream and lick him clean.


    A familiar ache settles in my core and I find my gaze dipping to the front of those grey sweats that


    match the colour of his stormy eyes… The very clear shape of his package tells me he isn’t wearing


    any boxers underneath.


    My gaze flicks up just in time to see his gaze lingering on my breasts. I wonder if he likes my pierced


    nips… With just the thin green satin clinging to me; they are clearly emphasised. I smirk, but he looks


    away, scanning the grounds. What is he looking for?


    “Did you hear anything just now? There was something out here and I wasn’t too far… so I thought I’ll


    check it out.” He says, crossing his arms, still holding my phone.


    I shake my head, taking my phone from him and cing it on the table beside the door. “Nope, nothing.


    I did hear somemotion, but I was fast asleep.” I lie,


    “Oh?” He says, his eyes boring into me, and for a second, I wonder if I should have told the truth.


    “Yeah.”


    “Then you won’t mind meing inside and taking a look around, because whatever I was chasing


    vanished around here.”


    “This is a little cottage. There’s nowhere anyone can hide. By any chance, are you insinuating I’m


    hiding something?” I ask sharply.


    “Not at all, but if you keep being stubborn, I might start to question why… Now let mee inside and


    have a look around.” He persists.


    “You don’t need toe inside unless, of course, you meanting inside me, that I won’t mind.” I


    smirk crossing my arms. He rolls his eyes, stepping forward, and looks down at me, leaning closer. His


    scent fills my nose as his lips almost touch my ear and I wee the heat of his body that shields me


    from the cold outside…


    “Well, I’m afraid I’m not interested.” He whispers in my ear before moving back and looking me in the


    eyes.


    Well, as long as he isn’t scanning the cottage… “Are you sure? No one will need to know.” I whisper,


    running my nail down his chest.


    “Don’t.” He growls, pinning my wrist against the wall behind me. I gasp at the sudden force, flinching as


    pain shoots through my injury and I feel blood spreading across the bandage. His eyes widen slightly,


    and he looks down at me. “You’re hurt.”

    “I’m not.” I deny, narrowing my eyes.


    He doesn’t bother replying as he yanks my gown off my shoulder, revealing my bandaged breast, but in


    the process, the gown slips open fully, exposing me entirely to him.


    His eyes widen, but it’s the sh of hunger that coats them as they ze a brilliant blue that makes my


    pussy clench, and the moment his eyes dip down, I smirk victoriously, my own eyes fixed on his


    package as his dick hardens in his pants….
