The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Chapter 32. A Shocking Revelation

SKYLA.

“I am trying to understand your behaviour, Miss Rossi! But I can’t excuse the abuse of a

teacher on my Academy grounds!”

Bla bla bla…

I admire my nails nonchalantly as I sit on

the chair in his office. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

He stands there behind his desk, hands. braced on it, blowing steam from his ears

and mouth.

Is he a dragon or something? I swear he needs to calm the hell down, it’s not that big

of a deal.

Well, ok maybe hitting a teacher is…

I’m giving Aleric ten minutes to get his ass here otherwise I’m throwing him under.

My foot is tapping the floor impatiently as

River’s anger continues to rise.

He looks damn weird, with his face now an

interesting shade of purple.

I chew the gum I had popped into my mouth minutes before he had found me in the halls

and although I know he hates gum at school. I still chew away and blow a bubble without a

care.

“SKYLA SILARA ROSSI!” He shrieks,

sounding liking a fucking strangled chicken

and I can’t help but smirk.

We both stare at one another and I can feel

his rage growing.

Silence fills the room before the bubble I

made with my gum bursts with a resounding

pop in the silent room and I suck the gum back into my mouth.

Chew chew chew…

His heart is thundering as he tries to control

himself. I blow another bubble and that’s the

final straw.

“That’s it, I have had it!”

I roll my eyes and yawn, yeah yeah.

“Is Professor Pretty-Boy on his way?

Because I can guarantee he’ll let me go.” I drawl, leaning back in the seat, the words

Professor sounding like poison on my

tongue.

“Professor Arden! And he will not! Miss

Rossi you attacked an Alpha from one of the

most powerful packs in the country! You

cannot think you’re above the law!”

Please, my Dad created the fucking law.

He continues rambling.

“The Ardens are a reputable family who-”

“Meh… my family are better.”

He growls in response, and I yawn.

How boring…

“Call him. Tell him he has-”

I’m cut off when the door is pushed open and none other than Aleric stands there, his nose is no longer bleeding but it still looks sore and red.

Kinda like he’s just had his face buried in my pussy for a while.

I smirk.

Aww poor baby prince. 3

“Headmaster Rivers…” He says, yet despite

addressing him, his eyes are on me.

“Professor, I’m glad you have come down. I do apologise for what has happened and we will come to a solution and Miss Rossi will face the consequences.” Rivers says, his face is still an interesting shade of purple.

“Now what punishment do you think is befitting of Miss Rossi?” Headmaster Rivers says, “I hope we can settle this.”

The Ardens really do hold some power…

“I wonder what punishment is befitting for a lot of things…” I muse, tapping my chin.

I almost smirk when I see the flicker of a

frown on Aleric’s face as his eyes meet mine.

“If it’s alright with you Headmaster, may I have a word with Miss Rossi alone?” Aleric

replies quietly.

“Since when have you asked for permission to see me alone Professor?” I counter

challengingly.

His jaw ticks, but none of my words are

registered by Rivers, who pinches the bridge of his nose and nods in agreement to Aleric.

“Of course, I will step outside.” He says. Please behave Miss Rossi, you do not want me to call your father.”

((

“Oh please, I’m certain he’d be on my side if he knew the full story.” I hum, my eyes flicking to Aleric.

Yeah, I’m being a bitch, because it was a two

way thing, but I also know that Aleric should

have kept it a secret.

He told one person it’s only fair I can tell

one person too and if I choose that person to be my father, then so be it. 4

The door shuts behind Rivers and Aleric’s

sighs heavily. I don’t bother looking at him

as I stare at the bookshelf on the far side of

the room.

“Skyla… look I don’t know what I have done that has upset you.” He comes over and leans against the desk in a similar manner Royce had done the other day. But they’re so different…

I look away in disgust, trying to calm the throbbing pain that has settled in above my left eye. I am so done with everything right

now.

“You told someone that we fucked, didn’t you?” I hiss, my eyes flashing plum as I

glare at him.

His face becomes serious as our eyes meet, and he frowns. “So, he said something to

you.”

“Well, what did you expect? Did you expect him not to? Like seriously why would you even tell someone that?” I ask icily.

He sighs as he furrows his brows.

“Look, it happened in the moment, I was angry and it slipped out.” He says quietly as he stops leaning on the desk and instead walks over to me and takes the seat opposite.

1. 3

Resting his elbows on his knees he leans forward but there is nothing I want to hear

from him.

“I don’t care, I’m fucking angry right now, want me to tell my father or even Rivers. Heck the entire fucking school maybe?” I snarl menacingly, leaning forward and looking him dead in the eye.

He shakes his head looking down, “The thing is… he told me a few days ago that he had an encounter with you at a club… he

didn’t say exactly what happened, but he implied enough to trigger me.” 7

My stomach twists as I stare at him, Royce

told him that?

That throws me off even more, why does it

feel like another punch in the gut…

For some reason I didn’t expect that from him… Why would Royce say that when he wanted to pretend it never happened?

Aleric exhales deeply and clasps his hands in

front of his mouth.

“I know I shouldn’t have lost control… but

when he told me what day that happened I lost it.” He explains. 7

His voice is strained and I can feel his anger and frustration bubbling beneath the

surface.

“What do you mean?” I ask coldly, not

knowing why I’m even giving him the chance to explain.

He frowns, staring down at his hands.

“I never wanted to tell you like this… fuck, I don’t have a choice.” He mutters more to

himself than me. “I got angry with Royce… because I was meant to meet you that night.”

“Oh really?” I narrow my eyes.

“If stuff didn’t come up I’m the one who was meant to come to that club.” His voice is low and I stare at him, trying to figure out what

he’s saying.

“Meaning?”

“I’m Reign, Skyla. Reign707.” 22

His quiet words echo extremely loudly in my head as I stare at him like I’m seeing him for

the first time.

Reign?

Aleric is Reign?

Fuck he’s Reign? 4

I stare unblinkingly at him as he watches me seriously, there’s no hint of a smile on his

face as he observes me. I don’t even know

what to think, my head is pounding painfully and although I’m trying to

concentrate on what he has said, I am

unable to.

“Why else do you think I ended up sleeping with you that night? I couldn’t control

myself… I wanted you… I just, I was

concerned that if I came forward as Reign

you’ll be disappointed or worse that I wasn’t

what you were expecting.”

Wasn’t what I was expecting…

I don’t know… I don’t know what I was

expecting.

The way they spoke was similar… Hell, the

lack of swearing even… but… Aleric was far

more proper than Reign…in the picture of his abs, what I had seen of him anyway, showed that he was in more casual clothing, something I have never seen on Aleric. But then, I haven’t seen him that often out of

work to know that for sure.

“Don’t you believe me?” He looks concerned as he takes his phone out of his pocket.

Unlocking it, he opens it up to our old chat.

“Here… the original ones.” He murmurs,

holding it up.

I stare at the phone, my heart thundering as he flicks through the chat before switching

to the new one he had created.

Fuck…

I don’t know what to make of it, at all…

Aleric is Reign…

I look up at him slowly, trying to match the

two personalities…

I’m fucking thrown.

I shake my head trying to clear my mind and

stand up.

“Skyla…”

Running my fingers through my hair I step

back.

“Look I just… What you told me that time. when we had lunch together. You knew that

stuff because you were Reign… you knew it was me… from the tattoo right?” I murmur.

“Guilty.” He replies softly, he steps closer and despite me stepping back, he cups my face firmly, closing the gap between us.

I hate how his touch makes my heart pound

violently.

“Look, I’m done with this fake front, I’m done with pretending to be someone I’m

not. I’m done with hiding who I am from

you, Skyla… I just want us to be real to one. another.”

Real…

“But I still don’t get why you told Royce?” I ask softly, staring into his eyes, wanting an

answer.

His scent invades my senses and I hate how my heart and body reacts to him.

His eyes soften as he tilts his head. “Why does he matter to you?”

Why?

My mind feels a mess, I don’t know… I…

Aleric is Reign, I can’t forget that.

“Did it piss you off when you found out something happened between us?” I ask quietly.

“Yes.” His eyes sharpen, his grip on the side of my face and neck becoming tighter. “I thought we had a connection… and I don’t share Skyla.” 3

My heart thunders, as I slowly tug away.

Something about his possessiveness makes my stomach flutter but I can’t deny that I’m

unnerved.

I was hoping that Reign would be my saviour and distraction from this mess I am in the midst of with the Arden twins, but for Reign

to be one of them…

I step back, and turn my back on him. “I don’t know… if you were Reign you should have told me from the start.” I say quietly. ” Sort this shit out, if it gets back to my father, I’m spilling everything.”

Not waiting for a reply I storm to the door and leave. Rivers is pacing the floor outside of the office and stops when he sees me.

“Skyla!” He says but I ignore him speeding up, before I break into a jog.

My head feels like it’s going to burst, and I know I’m going to lose control at any

moment.

I push the door to the nearest exit open and

barrel out.

Feeling my control slipping, I speed up, needing to get out of sight before I end up shifting right here.

I stop to see that the main gates are closed.

Shit… I growl in frustration knowing I won’t make it far without the cameras capturing

My heart is pounding as I scan the area,

feeling like I’m cornered. I back away, turning around and darting down the side alley that leads around the academy main building towards the dorms.

If I can get to-

Fuck!

I growl, feeling my bones breaking and reshaping as I try to prolong it.

Shit!

“Are you alright?”

I freeze when I feel a familiar presence near me, my heart clenches in fear when I

recognise him as I turn sharply and stare at

none other than Royce.

He’s frowning as he’s watching me.

Fuck why now?

I’m unable to stop myself from completing my transformation, my eyes lock on him as I take on my Lycan form.

I clutch my pounding head.

“Bloody Hell…” He murmurs.

Our eyes meet for a second before he breaks our gaze, looking me over and I feel like a deer caught in headlights.

Neither of us moves, as he stays still, his

gaze skimming over me, but his next words. snap me back to reality.

“You’re a Lycan. Fuck, you’re a Lycan.” He

breathes, in a mixture of shock and awe. 10

My response?

I turn and bolt.
