ROYCE. I step outside, although I can still hear the conversation no matter how much I try to block it out. I glance around the mansion, not missing the guards watching me. They’re professional, yet sharp. These are the guards to the royal pack. I make my way over to my car, leaning against it as I scroll through my notifications. A message from the Beta… Unlocking my phone, I open the message; ‘Hello Royce, I thought to let you know I finished my business and have returned if you still want to talk to me. Regards Quade.’ He’s back… ‘Hello, thank you for your reply, yes I do actually. I’ll stop by when I have a chance.’ I hit send and slip my phone into my pocket. I need to ask him without further delay and if she’s alive, then there is so much more I need to do. Of course, the entire situation is a struggle. What if she would rather not have anything to do with us? But if I know she’s alive, would I be able to simply walk away not knowing if she’s happy? I close my eyes, ti

ROYCE. I’m not one to boast, but the way she reacted and has now promoted me from the Ice Prince to the King of Winter and Her Ice God, I might just be enjoying it a little more than I should. I’ll try not to let it inflate my ego, but anything she says pleases me. I have filled her in on everything regarding the Solaris line, the prophecy, and what I wanted to do for my Pack and for that throne. I also mentioned everything involving her, and what Dad and Aleric were aiming for. That had angered her, but she had been far more interested in my plan. There’s maturity in the way she talks when she’s serious and I know I’m jumping the gun, but I know she will make an incredible queen. She agreed that I need to step up and put them in their place and I told her what Dad did with our sister and how I was going to meet with the Beta tonight to see if I can get any answers. “So you’ll be alright?” I ask, pulling on a jacket with a hood. I’ve settled her in one of my penthouses, one with

Skyla Rossi: A Game of Deception and Lies Book 4 in the Rossi Legacies Series Chapter 1 – When My World Crashes Down SKYLA. I snicker as Azura sticks her tongue out, we’re on video call, her and Kat are together, and Song also joined in on the call. She’s super busy these days trying to learn the ropes as she settles into her position at the coven but they all happened to be available the moment I told them I had the most incredible mind-blowing sex that was out of this world and I let this literal sex god mark me. That was enough for them all to instantly demand a video call. Bitches. “I swear, stop holding back deets!” Azura growls, clearly getting frustrated. “I told you about Leo!” “Yuck, he’s my cousin! Although I still am intrigued with the ladder…” I say tapping my chin, imagining Royce with a pierced dick. “Na I think I like my man ladder-less. I mean how does it feel when you take it in your mouth?” Song laughs, despite going completely red in the face. “Well, I’ll t

SKYLA. The next hour is a blur. Never have I experienced so many emotions one after the other. We reached the Sangue pack fast enough, but it felt like forever, and I was straight away taken to the hospital – to Royce. The pain was easing up by then and it gave me hope that he’s going to be ok. Even then, seeing Kataleya and Leo himself tending to Royce, with his sleeves pushed up, as he commanded the others. But the intense surge of lightning that was crackling around Royce’s body made it impossible for others to be able to tend to him without getting electrocuted. Kataleya was in her zone, as she stitched him up to help with the healing. She can’t hurt a fly, but when it comes to having to deal with blood and gore, she is swift and efficient. I feel fucking useless as Azura stands there staring at the moon, wanting the time to heal him to come, all while Leo and Kat stabilise him. “He’s surviving on his own Sky. He will make it.” I remember Leo telling me. I remember Kataley

ALERIC. Ah, to be free from his pathetic existence. Royce was as good as dead when I left him and now… now I wait for the glorious news to come when Dad feels the pack link break and I know my deed is done! I’ve always tried to be a good brother to him, always made Dad focus on me so he could do whatever he wanted! Yet, he acted as if he had no interest in power or the Alpha position, but he did! How sly of him to pretend that he didn’t care, only to try to get ahead of me. He was a manipulative, fake, sly bastard! The fact he had such power and kept it from me shows he just wanted to get one up on me. He was plotting to overthrow me. That bastard has been biding his time. I clench my fists as I walk up the mansion steps, the warm lights of the mansion bathe over me. My mansion, all of this is mine, the title of alpha, the Arden businesses, and all the Arden assets. All are mine. Is this how it feels to be at peace? With the so-called prophesied King out of the way, the title of
