Chapter 14. Our Differences

SKYLA.

Now that I wasn’t expecting and I can’t help but smirk at his struggle, he growls in frustration, letting goof me and turning his back on me. I chuckle, sliding my gown up over my shoulder.

“You really are so boring.” I tut, pushing past him, not bothering to tie my gown as I shamelessly turnand stop in front of him. “You’re not my teacher right now.”

“No thanks. How did you get hurt?” He

asks icily.

“I don’t really like to share my secrets.” I reply icily, “Now, do you want to join me or do you plan toleave?”

He’s refusing to look at me and my

stomach twists when his gaze falls on the bathroom door. The broken glass… I see

his gaze go to the ground, his frown deepening. There are bits of dirt but I

hope the dark wood flooring disguises it somewhat… He seems to be thinking

something over before he looks at me sharply, clenching his jaw as he reaches down and yanks mygown together.

“Have a little respect for yourself.” He

says coldly, his words making irritation flash through me.

“Excuse me?” I say, not missing the anger in his eyes as he ties the gown sash tightly. I gasp as thebelt digs into my

waist.

“You heard me. Do you have a habit of throwing yourself at any bloody man that you see?”

I clench my jaws, my own anger rising.” Oh, don’t forget the women. You have no right to question myself-respect, if I

want to go fuck ten men right now, that’s

my choice, and it doesn’t take away from my self-respect just because we don’t fit into the mould thatyou men have made for us.” I growl. 1

His eyes flicker to the bathroom door again, but those cold eyes are on me again within seconds.

“Then please, go replace those men. I really don’t care.” He says. “But if you think I’m going to be one ofyour games… you are sorely mistaken, love.”

“I’m not asking you to put a ring on my damn finger, and it’s not like you don’t want this.” I say, lookingpointedly at the impressive shaft in his pants.

“I already made it clear that from this day forth we’re teacher and student. I am not about to break thetrust one has in that position, no matter what, no matter how much either of us wants to.”

Clearly you don’t want it as much as I do.

Scoffing, I nod. “Yeah, who are you trying to please, my Daddy?” I mock. “Nothing else new there.” 1

His eyes flash and I knew I had hit a nerve. “Not everyone cares for the King’s acknowledgement,especially not

someone like me. I don’t see you as his daughter, I-” He turns away with

irritation and for a second I think he’s about to punch the wall, instead he takes a deep breath andcloses his eyes. “I see you as someone entrusted to me… I’m in a position of trust. I’m not about tobreak that, no matter who wants me to…”

Can someone really be so… decent? Well, yeah I guess we have a few respectful men in the family,but most of them are

arrogant and were definitely fuck boys until they met their mates… it’s different to come acrosssomeone who doesn’t see me as the quick passage to Dad. It’s refreshing but at the same time itstings

that he values his position and ethics so

damn much.

“Wow, did Selene drown you in a bucket of righteousness and good before dunking you on earthgolden boy?” I ask. “You know I’m not asking for your virginity… Wait, are you a virgin? Is that why youare so-” 1

“No, I’m not.” He growls.

“Great, then I don’t get it, and Dad wouldn’t say anything. I mean he can’t, he was entrusted to lookafter Mama,

with 16 years between them might I add and he knocked her up, so.” I shrug. 1

Why am I holding on? I mean, now I’m sounding desperate. There’s plenty of

men out there… or was it the fact I liked to be refused and then getting that man was so much moresatisfying?

“Karma? So you’re saying I should do the same simply because he didn’t make the

best of choices and that he deserves it?”

Not exactly… kinda? I nod, folding my arms and looking at him defiantly.

He shakes his head and I think I see the

faintest of emotions in his cold eyes. ”

They say a man should be the kind of person that he would want his daughters

to be with… that is the idealism I will

stand by, because when that day comes, I’ll proudly be able to tell my kids that I treated others right, sowhether it suits you or not I really don’t care, but I’m not. changing my stance.” 4

I don’t know what to say, for a strange crazy moment he reminds me of Reign, the sweetness and thatmentality… I hate

that it makes my heart flutter strangely…

It’s rare to replace a man who actually won’t take advantage of someone, especially one he clearlydesires… 1

He’s about to walk out when something

on my face seems to make him hesitate. To my surprise, he reaches over,

brushing his fingers through my hair, and I can’t help but close my eyes as his touch makes tinglesdance across my skin.

“I didn’t mean to be harsh. I am a man and regardless of what I believe, it does get hard for me, too. I’monly saying you’re worth more than a one-night hook -up.” My green eyes stare into his grey ones andfor once I’m blank. I can’t think

straight… 2

How do you respond to that?

He doesn’t wait for a reply and swiftly turns, heading to the open door, about to step out, when ashadow appears in the

door.

“What are you doing here?” Royce growls.

My eyes widen as I replace myself looking at none other than Aleric, like Royce he’s only in a pair ofsweatpants, his are black,

his long hair falls messily around his shoulders and I can’t help but appreciate

his body. He’s not as bulky as his brother

but he is equally toned… there’s a

gracefulness to the way his body glistens with that perfect tan and side by side I realise despite themboth being blond and

tanned Aleric’s skin held a gold hue

whilst Royce’s is more cool.

“Is everything alright.” Aleric asks,

looking at his brother questioningly.

“Yeah, there’s nothing here to see.”

Royce says quietly.

Aleric nods as he observes his brother

before he notices his hard shaft, which makes him smirk in amusement, his eyes

twinkling as he looks at me. “Well, it sure is cold here tonight…”

“Let’s head out Ric.” Royce says quietly.

“You go, I’ll catch up.” Aleric replies, looking at his brother. Royce glances back

at me before giving a cut nod and jogs off. He doesn’t shift until he’s hidden away in the bushes, and Ithink I see light coloured fur, but then he’s gone pretty

fast. 1

I frown as Aleric sighs, “Is everything ok?” He asks, running his fingers through his hair before hecrouches down and beckons Malevolent over. He smiles at her and she looks up at me before she trotsover to him and I can’t help but smile as he strokes her.

Somehow Royce’s words have still shaken me, and I just feel… awful.

“Yeah… I heard something but it’s fine.” I shrug, trying to focus on anything but his

words.

He smiles and nods, “Worried that your

father will replace out you were in danger and might pull you from here?”

My heart thuds and I freeze, making him

chuckle.

“I was a teen once.” He says with a wink as he stands up and Malevolent trots back

to me.

“Maybe that’s the reason, maybe not, but I do enjoy my own place.”

He steps closer and to my surprise I can feel the heat radiating off him. Damn.

someone’s hot, in every aspect.

“You can tell me; I won’t mention it. You

can trust me.” He says firmly. 1

“I didn’t see it properly. It looked like a

huge snake… or something…”

He frowns, looking at me sharply, and I

wish I didn’t speak. He genuinely looks

shocked. “A snake? Did you actually see something?”

“Weren’t you two out here hunting it?” I

ask uneasily.

“Yes… but we didn’t see it, it got away…

“}

He says, trailing off as he steps back and

closes the front door. “Would you be ok to

tell me exactly what you saw, so when I

report back, I can make it appear that I’m

the one who saw it?” 2

I’m was about to refuse, but his words.

relax me, and I nod. “Sure, I can do that.”

“Perfect, how about we discuss it over

something to drink, if you don’t mind me

shamelessly inviting myself in.”

I shake my head. “Well, since you already have invited yourself in, we can do that,” I say, glancingdown at his sexy body, it’s

crazy how sexy he looks right now. He

really is… beautiful. I look up into those grey eyes and his lips curl into a sexy smile before they dip tomy breasts.

“You might want to go change… or this

wolf might just want to devour you.”

14 Our Differences

I smirk, although a part of me wonders. why both brothers have such an effect on me, but hey sinceone has clearly said no, I can enjoy this one. “Good plan… mind helping me with my sash. Yourannoying brother tied it a little too tight.” I reply seductively, stepping closer to him. 3

I need a distraction, and this was the

perfect one.

“Then I really should help rectify his mistake.” He replies huskily. My core clenches when his eyes glowa gorgeous. amber gold. They burn brighter than any

I’ve ever seen… like the sun itself… I’m forced to look away, gasping.

He closes the gap between us, his fingers slipping into my belt as he tugs me closer,

my breath hitches when his eyes remain locked with mine as he caresses my

stomach with the back of his fingers. They glide along the belt, the fabric is

between us but still it makes tingles rush through me. He tugs firmly on the end of the sash, freeing mefrom the tight binding. I let out a breath, feeling the silk sash slip from his fingers.

“I apologise on his behalf; I hope you’ll accept this sincere apology.” He says with a glint in his eyes.

“Depends exactly how you plan to apologise.” I whisper back, my heart’s thumping as my gown slipsopen.

A smile curls across those kissable lips as his hands slip under my gown, his fingers gently rubbing myskin where the belt had dug into me. The feel of his touch

sends delicious tingles through me, and I

can’t help but lean into his touch.

“Allow me to show you.” He murmurs

softly, and I slowly look up into those gorgeous eyes. One hand leaves my waist as he cups the side ofmy face, leaning in

as his gaze lowers to my lips before he presses his against them. 1

My breath hitches as pleasure rushes through me, his scent invades my senses and those soft lipscaress mine so painstakingly slowly that I feel my senses heighten. And when he begins kissing me, Iforget everything else, locking my arms around his neck and deepening the

kiss…
