The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin

SKYLA.

I want to know too…

I raise an eyebrow as Royce glances away, his gaze flicking to Dad.

“I’m sorry. It’s been a rough evening.” Royce says to him just as a waiter places our drinks down. It irks me how she’s eyeing them both up.

I should tell Mama, it’s pretty fun to see her try to hide her jealousy when it comes to Dad.

“Thank you.” Kataleya says to her with a small smile.

No need to smile at the little perve. Yes, I’m a total hypocrite. I can perve at Magic Fingers all I want…

My gaze falls to his hands. I like the fact that he has big manly hands…

“The food will be here soon. Enjoy.” She smiles, and Royce gives her a nod as Kataleya smiles at her.

No one speaks until she leaves, and Kataleya slides her drink closer to herself.

I turn my attention back to Royce.

I wonder what happened… considering he was completely fine at training.

Dad cocks a brow. “I hope this dinner doesn’t fucking impose on you if you’re not in the best of fucking moods. I don’t want Kenneth saying I tortured his son by forcing him to come out to dinner.” He replies, picking up his glass.

A glimmer of a smile crosses Royce’s lips.

“He doesn’t need to know where I am. Besides, I’m not the type to bail on someone when I promise them I’ll be there.”

I frown slightly, a sting in my chest as my mind drifts to Reign… I wish he didn’t bail on me that night. This entire mess with the Ardens would have been avoided.

“Oh yeah?” Dad says.

Dad rarely misses anything.

‘Sky?’ Kataleya’s voice pulls me from my thoughts and I give her a smile as I pick up my glass.

‘Sorry I got distracted.’ I reply.

She tilts her head, observing me with concern. I know I’m quieter than normal and I need to fix that.

“So, Dad, shall we settle our debt?” I ask, looking over at him.
