Oliver POV"Mate..." All three heads turned to me quickly, but my focus was on a single one. Goddess she was beautiful. I knew in that specific moment that Lewis was right, I could never do anything hurt my mate, thoughts of the king going so far as to actually torture his intended into submission suddenly graced my mind and caused a lump to form in my throat as I stared at the beautiful girl in front of me. I could never do anything that would cause upset or pain in anyway, maybe Josh really couldn't feel anything. I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I shook my head and swallowed thickly not being able to tear my gaze away from my mate. In honestly, I couldn't help but let Images flash through my mind of her going through everything Dylan had,and it caused my heart to miss a beat. Genuinely, How could Josh have gone so far? If anyone even looked at my mate the wrong way, I would tear them limb from limb, without so much as batting my eyes. "What did you just s
Dylan POVSo Victoria ended up being mates to Oliver?! That was a shock to the system, in fact I think I found that more unbelievable than the battle I had witnessed earlier that day.By the time me and Lewis made our way back up to the main pack house I sighed, my hand quickly rubbed my eyes in exasperation as the sound of celebration still met my ears.I was tired and I was drained, not to mention I was covered in blood and I was still dressed in clothes that also belonged to other people, not that I actually had any of my own. Every single item of clothing I had worn since my uniform was taken from me and destroyed in the palace, was borrowed from someone or given to me with the sole purpose of making me feel uncomfortable.All I wanted was somewhere to rest my head."Hey, are you ok?" I felt a comforting hand gently rest on my shoulder causing a small smile to form on my lips. Lewis was always the first person to n
Dylan POV I woke up from the most blissful sleep I had ever had, my eyes lazily opened and my fingers rubbed them as I stretched slightly, and rolled over to take in the room I was in. I couldn't help but let surprise cloud me as I realized I still resided in the pack house, and yet, I had slept without a care in the world. Lycans completely surrounded me, I had witnessed the battle at the border yesterday first hand, and yet, I had slept. I knew Lewis was solely responsible for my current state of peace, and I couldn't be more grateful that he actually made me feel that way. It was very difficult to shut my mind off sometimes. Letting my thoughts turn to Lewis prompted me to look at him, and I broke out into a small smile as his slumber filled face met mine. His blonde hair was splayed out ever so slightly on the pillow below him, and his eyes fluttered slightly as he dreamt, his lips were softly parted, and his even breath was coming out rhythmically. He just looked so beautiful
Dylan POV."Good morning." I stated to Oliver and Vee as I slowly came into their view line."Morning?!" Vee stood up quickly and looked at Oliver who winced but joined her in her movements."I just came to see if he needed a doctor." I explained, to which her head shook."I'm ok." Oliver admitted letting his eyes land on Vee again. "I've been watched all night.""All night?" I asked looking between the obviously budding couple. Oliver must have been good if he got Vee on his side so quickly.I still didn't understand the pull a mate has towards you, and I certainly couldn't comprehend the pull you have towards them. It was such an odd occurrence in my eyes.Maybe because no matter how much I think about it, I just never felt that way towards King Josh, maybe it was from all his abuse, or maybe it was because I'd told myself for years that I would never have a mate, so maybe I simply dispelled any f
Dylan POV. CRACK! "Argh!" A small pain filled cry left my mouth as I ran in front of my brother, just in time to take the lashing that was originally meant for him. "That boy, just completely disregarded the alpha of your districts pack, step aside." One of the packs warriors held a long thick whip in his hand while looking at me then glancing behind him to look upon my brother. "He's six years old. He didn't mean to..." I was cut off by another load crack and a stinging sensation hit my cheek, my hand moved up to my face, as I inspected the wound, I looked at the fingers that had gently grazed my now stinging cheek and noticed a line of blood coated them. My face was bleeding. "Do you wish to make this a public punishment? I can assure you that it will not end well for you if you don't move aside, human." I don't want to take another punishment, I had received my last one almost 2 months ago now, and it took me weeks to heal, my back is already scarred for life. "He meant no di
Dylan POVMy eyes groggily opened as I sat up, my neck aching from lying on my stomach on a hard wooden table, and my back stinging. I looked down at my once naked torso to find a large bandage, perfectly wrapped around my entire torso covering my exposed breasts as well. Looking outside I noticed the sun slowly making its ascent, an orange hue tinging the early morning sky. I sucked in a breath before allowing my feet to take my weight, almost instantly toppling over in the process. I noticed a small glass of water placed next to me and took it in my hand, greedily drinking every last drop. Realizing I had to get ready for school, I walked over to write a note for Sheila explaining how grateful I was that she helped me and where I've gone. I slowly walked up the hill to my house, once I got indoors I went straight to my room and grabbed my uniform. After the lycans took over they initiated the rule that all humans must wear a certain uniform, and all wolves can express their indiv
Dylan POV“Mom? I'm home!" I yelled the minute I finally got home. Almost instantly she came bounding down the stairs of our little house, she quickly engulfed me in her arms with tears in her eyes. "Dylan, I'm... I'm so sorry about yesterday, I sat with you for hours, but you didn't move, I had to get home to Freddie." She cried on my shoulder while I just rolled my eyes. I'm not much of a hugger, I always just look awkward. She's also very melodramatic sometimes. "Mom, I'm fine." My mom eventually stopped sobbing as she slowly let go of my form drying her eyes. "Your dad would be so proud of the strong young lady you've become." I smiled before turning to head up the stairs. "Dylan... I... I made your favorite." I could already smell the beef broth she was making. The aroma wafting through the house. It was very rare we'd get the food to make beef broth, but I smiled and nodded my head at her knowing she must have done something to get the ingredients. "Thanks mom." Me and my mo
Dylan POVAfter a long night and an even longer morning, we were all finally stood in the hallway at school waiting for the twins to arrive. "Mine!" Everyone that was stood in the hallway tensed up, as we were seniors, me and Nick were stood towards the very back of the human line. All the mated people were situated directly opposite their wolf mates in their years. We stayed silent and still as Arya walked down the hall and stopped directly in front of Nick. His eyes widened in fear, unsure of wether to look up or keep his head lowered. "Look me in the eye, mate." He glanced at me slightly as if asking what he should do. "I said, look me in the eye." He slowly moved his eye line up to look at her face. I took a glance myself to see her eyes pitch black with lust. "I... can't... I mean... erm." Before he was able to mutter anything else, two wolves from opposite, grabbed him out of the line and dragged him behind Arya. "Hey!" My head shot up before I could stop myself. My mouth a
