Dylan POV Go with him? How was I supposed to go with Lewis without getting us both killed? Not that I made any effort in showing him I had heard him, I just stared straight ahead of me, relishing in the warmth Lewis's top gave me. "Shit!" He sounded exasperated, and with it came an unexpected emotion. I suddenly felt a small slap to my cheek causing me to blink rapidly trying to come to terms with the new pain, it was nowhere near what the king usually dishes out though. My sight quickly came back to me and as clear as day Lewis stared into my eyes, blood coated his newly swollen face, as he cupped my cheek. "There she is..." I was utterly humiliated by the events that just took place but I had to shake them off. I really didn't know how much more I could take. "Come on, we need to leave." He hauled me onto my feet and enveloped my hand in his before hightailing out of the room and down the stairs dragging me along with him. My footing wasn't great and I kept falling to my knees whi

Lewis POV Damn it, how could I have just left her there? How could I have left her alone with them after what he just did? I hated myself, I really hated myself as I ran away from the palace. Goddess, that was the worst thing he had ever done to her, the worst thing I had ever witnessed. How on earth could one person want to break someone so strong willed and righteous? Why would he want to destroy all of her best qualities? I didn't understand it, it was her stubbornness and strength that would make her an excellent queen, if Josh just took two seconds to see how blessed he's been the two of them could have possibly been happy. I couldn't stop my mind from replaying everything on loop. By everything I mean everything, the most prominent thought I had was when she tried to kill herself the first time, how deep she had actually cut through her own skin in hopes to be free from him, and that was only after his first defilement. This one was just evil, I dread to think what she might

Dylan POVI barley slept a wink last night, and it was all because of what king Josh said right before he fell asleep. I tried to talk to him but he just kept telling me he’ll discuss it with me tomorrow. Well now it was tomorrow, and I still hadn’t had my questions answered. “If you don’t shower today, I will drag you in the bathroom and wash you myself. Just because you’re up here it doesn’t mean that you can simply forget about your hygiene. You are my queen. You must present as such.” He sauntered through the room clearly looking for something as I rolled my eyes. “I saw that!” How on earth he saw my eyes roll is beyond me but still he was taking and so I took my chance. “I just don’t get why we have to go to my district!” I spoke only to have the king chuckle at my words. He turned towards me with a cocky grin firmly planted on his face. “Well, I didn’t get to stay very long the last time did I, besides I have business to discuss with the alpha.” I didn’t want to face everyone

Dylan POVThe entire car journey was so quiet, except for the heavy rain now hitting the limo as it drove down the roads. The anticipation that was crashing through me at seeing everyone from my district was consuming my every nerve, and rendering me speechless, the closer we got the more dread I felt. I was going back a completely cracked and damaged version of myself that even I didn’t recognise. The king once again had a permanent scowl on his face as he stared out of his window at the scenery we past, while the newly appointed royal beta Oliver read a small leather bound book, and Warren, now the gamma was reading through what I guess was the Ito art for the arrival. I just sat on the floor of the limo, my wrists and ankles still bound in chains making it impossible for me to move too much, I was pathetic, and I really didn’t want to be seen like this. My prisoners uniform hung off my skeleton figure like a trash bag, and my huge burn scars were completely on show. My hair was k

Dylan POV I let out the breath I didn't even know I was holding and looked at the head of the school waiting for his order while his gaze met mine, I frowned at him and continued to wait. "You need to dismiss us, your grace!" I turned my attention to Adrian who had step forward slightly and spoken. Did he say I needed to dismiss everyone. As in me?! "I do?! What do you mean?" The principal looked at me and chuckled slightly before answering my question. "You are the highest rank present." I was? But the king didn't even see me as his mate or as queen. I was the lowest of the low. "I'm a prisoner! I'm not exactly seen as queen." I sighed as I looked down the hallway at the hundreds of eyes staring at me. "Just get to class!" I stated before walking away only to stop in my tracks. I didn't actually know what class the humans my age had. "Which class is everyone in today?" A chuckle hit my ears and I turned towards the source. Nick stood looking at me no pity in his eyes at all bu
