Thank you for reading :)
SKYLA. I had grabbed a baggy cream knit top and pulled it over my crop top, pushing it back from my shoulders so it would cover my ass up, until Dad drops me at school, anyway. I’m sitting in the car, with my earPods in and tapping my foot to the beat of the music. “Can we try to talk about this?” He says, looking over at me. “No,” I say, glancing at him but refusing to switch my music off. He sighs, frowning as he stares out ahead at the winding road. “You know we’re worried about you Sky. That’s why we’re here, to help you and fucking be there for you. It’s fine to struggle, it’s fine not to be fucking in control. It’s fine to let others see that.” No, it’s not and I’m dealing... somewhat. Mama had healed me, the pain of the poisons and the bite were gone, and I feel alive. Not sure if that’s a good thing, considering I might lose control faster. “Fucking talk to me Sky.” “You know what the problem is?” I say, taking my pods out and looking at Dad pointedly. “I’m all fucking
SKYLA. The morning has passed by damn slowly. I’ve been itching to get my hands on Aleric, and my anger has begun bubbling again. Royce’s words from last night are replaying again and again and it’s only getting to me. I don’t even know how I’m going to face him later for training… I might bail for today. I don’t think I can handle being in his proximity… I zoomed through the first three lessons without even bothering to play up or waste time. Lost in thought as I get the work done with ease. The quicker I’m done, the better. The moment the bell rings, I grab my books, and my tote bag that Malevolent has been curled in all day and rush from the room before anyone else even rises from their seat. Now to find that dick. “Skyla!” I stop mid-step, spotting none other than Ahren, my nephew? I pause for a moment, second-guessing that. I swear this family is so damn big and tied from every damn angle that I forgot who is banging who and who created what demon’s spawn. But he’s defini
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. 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 an
ROYCE. I really have no way to explain what I feel when she turns and saunters out of the cafeteria as if she owns the entire place. If I try to put it into one sentence, it would be; She looks fucking mind-blowingly sexy and smoking hot. Her long killer legs move confidently, her hips naturally swaying as she walks, and her breasts bounce as does her hair. There’s a fire in her eyes that makes my throat go dry. She’s not seen me but she’s angry and she doesn’t give a shit about the consequences. Call me insane, but I actually admire that. She’s able to be herself without even considering the repercussions of her actions. She spots me, and her heart skips a beat. Her eyes meet mine for a second, before she turns those bottle-green eyes away and brushes past me, leaving me with a hint of her scent… That fleeting remnant doesn’t do justice. There’s something about the wild princess that gets to me every damn time, and I’m not the only one left speechless in her wake. I hate that a
SKYLA. I gasp when I see the silvery light that shimmers around his hand before ice encases the ground, spreading as it creates unique patterns. I can feel the cold in the air. My heart thunders as I stare at it before my gaze flicks up to him. He’s unmoving, yet the power that exudes from him… I can’t help but bite my lip. His ash blond hair seems to be holding a radiance, his angled jaw and the dimple in his cheek is emphasised. For a moment, time stands still and all I can see is the God before me… He looks… breathtaking. An Ice God… How can one look so damn beautiful? The cold makes me shiver and I’m pulled back to the present as I lift my legs from the ground. Whoa… Fuck it’s freezing! That’s some crazy Elsa shit. “Wait, are you somehow a witch? I mean, is that even possible I swear your cock didn’t feel like-” I internally smack myself. “Really?” He cocks a brow and gives me a pointed look. “No, this isn’t witchcraft, but an ability that is part of our heritage.” Herit
SKYLA. I can’t get my head around it. He thought I was the one attacking and killing people? Like actually fucking seriously? No wonder he’s always been observing my eyes whenever they changed. Plum… just like the death noodles. That day when he had said, out in the woods, I had turned and just left. Although he had tried to call out to me, I refused to listen… (FLASHBACK) “I didn’t mean it like that. I’m sorry.” Royce says, closing his eyes for a moment as he exhales. Sorry? “Sorry doesn’t cover you thinking I’m a killer, yes I can’t control my Lycan, but I’m no killer. I…” I trail off, feeling as if I’ve been punched in the gut. I have almost killed someone… If Kat didn’t stop me… I can’t blame him for thinking that… “I’m just in a habit of over analysing everything and I’m not saying you but your-” “My Lycan is a part of me.” I cut in, “Look, I’m fine, I’m tired and without clothes, I don’t really want to head back to school, I’m going home.” I don’t wait for an answe
SKYLA. “ZU!” I shout as I launch myself at the slightly shorter woman. She catches me, hugging me tightly. “Sky! Finally!” “Why are you two so fucking loud?” Leo says, his pale cold eyes glaring in my direction. “Deal with it.” I say as I give him a tight crushing hug before I slide into the seat next to Kataleya, and Azura sits down beside him. The weather is warmer than it was this morning. A sharp wind is blowing through the trees, but it’s pleasant. I can hear the sounds of chatter, laughing, and even the groups playing football or basketball. It’s strange but I feel more relaxed. We’re on the school grounds, in the quieter section, and it’s lunchtime. There are mostly girls or couples out here who prefer the quiet to the rowdy games going on, or the busy food hall. I hate that Leo is getting gawked at, although what I don’t mind is the looks of jealousy and envy that Azura is receiving. Most of these students disliked Azura, always calling her a problem child and now? N
SKYLA. Royce smiles faintly and I wonder what’s on his mind. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, too.” He says to Leo, before turning to Azura. “You must be Luna Azura, it’s an honour.” “Yes, in the flesh. Nice to meet you too.” Azura says, holding her hand out to him. He takes it, giving it a gentle squeeze before he lets go. What a gentleman. I can feel Azura’s huge eyes burning into me, and I turn my gaze to her. There’s a knowing look in her eyes and my stomach does a flip. I’m not that obvious, am I? “I’m sorry to intrude, but I was unable to get through to you regarding your training session?” Royce says quietly, those smouldering grey eyes now on me. Oh yeah, training… I can still sense Azura's searing, unblinking gaze. That girl is some freaky shit, but I love her. “I can’t do after school. I have detention.” I reply, shrugging casually. “Detention...” His eyes flick to the open books in front of Leo and he cocks a brow. “Let’s hope you don’t get another one. After detentio
