Chapter 150
The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin by Moonlight Muse Chapter 150
Uninvited Guests
SKYLA.
We reach the venue soon enough, and it is as beautiful as its name. The entire building is made of
mainly crystal ss, with pearlescent pirs and beams.
The witches are surrounding it, blending into the shadows of the trees and archways.
Most are outside…
Perfect.
“The witches think the attack wille from the outside, don’t they?’ I say through the link as the doors
shut behind us.
‘Yeah, and it fucking will for the most part, but once we’re in those outside will be locked out and those
inside, inside. No fucking witch can stop us from crashing that fucking engagement, ‘Dad’s growl
comes.
I can’t help but smile slightly. (2
Never have I been happier to hear Grump Bear’s growl. 2
‘Care to share why the fuck you sprung the idea
of getting engaged to him? A tad fucking extreme, don’t you think?’ he asks.
‘Because Gherkin Dick is conceited. I needed
something extreme to make it more believable.’ I reply. ‘I’ll see you guys soon,’
‘Soon.’ Kataleya’s soft voicees as I take a deep breath.
Aleric looks at me sharply and I smile as warmly as I can as we step into the open hall of the crystal
gardens. The huge dome above reflects thousands of rays of light.
It’s… breathtaking. Damn, I never knew the Arden’s had such a stunning ce…
I’m admiring the dancing rays of light when something pops out to me. Within it, dancing subtly along
the chandeliers and vines of roses and ivy, Bastet’s sign jumps out at me.
How clever…
This ce is hooked up… with Bastet’s symbols everywhere,’ I murmur.
‘Let’s just say Raihana, Maria, Catherine, Delsanra, and the younger girls worked the
entire night to make sure it is notcking in any way.’ Mama exins appreciatively.
‘I owe them,’ I say quietly.
‘We all do.’ Mama says.
‘Your fucker has a message for you,’ Dad grumbles. ‘But it’s not fucking import-‘ 201
‘He says he loves you, and not long now. Await the signal and believe in yourself.’ Mama takes
over from Dad. (1
‘And that you know how to control your Lycan,
trust your heart. That poetic shit irritates the fuck out of me,’ Dad says unhappily. ‘And there was no
need to add the other shit, Amore Mio.’ 6
I almost snicker.
‘Ok end the link and focus.’ Dante’s voice
‘I can multitask.’ He retorts. 1
‘Ok, understood, we’re ready.’ Mama
intervenes.
‘See you guys soon.’ I reply as I nce around the hall.
There are some of the council members here,
the witches, including Magdalene and other important alphas and werewolves.
“Alpha Aleric Arden!” Alpha Keith says, being the first to approach us.
Oh look, the snakes are gathering together.
“Congrattions on the engagement.” He adds
as Aleric shakes his hand.
I try not to scoff, for someone who was hell-
bent on proving me a criminal he sure has
changed his tune.
We meet several people, and each time I put on a front that makes a few people look at me with
intrigue. Some who know me…
I can see the concern in their eyes, knowing this isn’t me. There’s worry on others’ faces and blind
excitement in others.
Those who are true to their King can be seen from how they are responding to this shot-gun
engagement.
Allen is here, but his eyes are filled with worry. For as long as I remember he’s stood by Dad’s side.
I like the old, wrinkled fig. 8
Someone passes me a drink and I pretend to sip it. I am not going to risk anything tonight… 4
I ce the ss down just as Aleric steps up on the low stage, a smirk on his arrogant face.
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I please have your attention, tonight we are here to celebrate a
momentous asion! My engagement to the beautiful Sk Rossi, the first daughter of the
Lycan King, Alejandro Rossi. A man I still respect, despite him not giving us his blessings. Nothing can
stand in the way of something created by the moon goddess herself!”
. 1
How are people even listening to this crap?
“Before we make our engagement official, I want to acknowledge that my father has indeed disobeyed
thews of our council. Laws that we must always abide by!”
Totaly bullshitter.
I nce around the room sharply. He’s throwing his father under the bus to win points … Even his
father’s die-hard followers seem to be nodding slowly, realising he is their new ally. The next Alpha, or
so they think.
Some of those who were worried, rx a little at
his words.
He’s smart, I’ll give him that.
“I am disappointed to call myself his son, disappointed that I have a rapist and abuser as a
brother!”
How dare-
‘Ignore him.’ Dante’s smooth voicees.
‘I know’ I reply, swirling my wine in the ss.
Calmness…
“In my father’s stead, it means will be the next Alpha. To lead the Shadow Wolves pack from this day
on-”
He’s cut off when the doors m open, and my heart skips a beat when the familiar scents of my family
hit my nose.
“Well now, you can’t be fucking getting engaged to my daughter without her father
now, can you?” A cold voice booms through the hall. 11
Dad!
He’s standing there, dressed in ck, a cold
smirk on his face. A cigarette in one hand, the other around Mama’s waist. His burning red eyes trained
on Aleric, who is unable to hide the rage on his face…
Aleric pales slightly, as many of the guests lower their heads to Dad. He’s still the king,
whether they like that or not.
“How did you…” Aleric trails off.
Surprised they got past the witches?
Loser…
N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
Dad’s eyes find me, his gaze runs over me and his brow creases.
‘Proud I’m covered up?’ I ask humourlessly, through the link.
‘Didn’t think I’d ever fucking say it, but no, not like this. That fucking bastard…’ 3
‘Sk…e join me, Princess.’ Aleric says and I smile gracefully. Turning and stepping onto the dais,
I close the gap between us.
‘Got me a weapon?’ I ask through the link, watching some of the guests congratte Dad and Mom
quietly on our so-called engagement,
whilst others simply look relieved Dad’s here.
‘Yes, I do.’ Kataleya says.
She’s here too, along with Uncle Liam, Aunty
Raven, Uncle Marcel, Winona and Mama Mari… 4
The others are probably close…
Aleric is looking at me, his gaze burning into
me, and I suddenly realise he wants me to
humiliate them… and have them leave.
‘He wants me to speak. Are we ready to end this
engagement and make history for the smallest event in our fucking family?” I ask.
‘Await for the signal.’ Dante’s voicees.
‘Signal?’ I ask.
‘You’ll know.’ Dante says. 1
Cryptic fucker. 5
My eyes meet Aleric’s, and he bends down,
kissing my lips. I feel Dad’s aura hike and I
almost gag.
Never did I think minty fresh breath could make my stomach churn, as it does right now?
I’m going to be sick.
The sparks between us have faded greatly and I’m relieved for it.
“Leave it to me,” I whisper to Aleric, turning to the guests. “I want to thank everyone for attending today.
Some of you are happy to see us together, others- not so much.”
Aleric’s eyes are on me, and I put on a sad expression as my eyes shift to my family.
“I know that my father is the Lycan King, that my mother is the Blessed Wolf. Those who have never
been wrong before, do you think that their judgment would becking?” I ask clearly.
Aleric frowns, his hand tightening on my waist. I look at him, giving him a wink.
He rxes a little, but I can see his eyes flit to Sephora the cunt waffle. She nods slightly before she
leaves the room swiftly.
What is she up to?
‘Sephora left.’ I say just as Mama speaks.
“The high witch Sephora just left the hall.’
‘Noted.’ Dante answers. ‘We’re ready.’
I continue speaking, trying to dy it until the
signal Dante spoke of appears.
“Can their words be lies? I never thought I’d fall in love, never thought that anyone could love me… but
I was wrong, and I want my family to ept that I love him dearly. I’ve made mistakes in my life… tried
to be something that I am not… until he came into my life…” I say quietly. “I love him, and no matter
what anyone thinks, he is the only one I wish to be with.”
Aleric is nodding as he takes my hand when the doors m open once again. My heart skips a beat as
his delicious scent reaches my nose.
Royce.
Fuck, he’s here.
