Dylan POV. I coughed and tried to stand but my legs were like jelly, my chest ached as I tried to get more oxygen in my lungs and my hand carefully wrapped around my sore neck, trying to soothe it. A little more than a minute went by before the door to the room was opened again and Beta Lewis walked in, he didn't comment once on what happened he just walked over to me and held his hand out for me to take. I hesitantly gripped his hand and used his strength to help me up, I almost fell down again instantly but Lewis held me up gently. "Are you ok?" He asked quietly as his finger ever so slightly touched my neck. I nodded my head and averted my heavy eyes away from him as he held half of my weight. "Come on." He whispered, "let's get you back to your room." We walked a little before I finally said something he wasn't expecting. "Thank you." My voice was strained from the pressure my neck endured but I managed to talk. He looked a little stunned but I did have to thank him. "Thank yo
This Chapter contains strong scenes of Rape, and abuse. Please read at your own risk. Dylan POV. Fear! The only thing coursing through my veins was pure, unadulterated fear. My breathing had all but stopped as I looked at the huge wolf in front of me. It's paws intimidatingly edging forward with each step he took. I couldn't even run I was so struck by fear. I hated this whole situation! I was weak and vulnerable, I wasn't supposed to be like this. My dad died so I could be strong, he died so I could live to protect Freddie and my mom, but here I was miles away from them in a palace with the king himself stalking towards me.I took a panicked step backwards which caused him to growl again, by this point I knew he was going to get me, I had absolutely no chance of escaping not that I wasn't still going to try. I spun on my heels once more and began to sprint as best I could with a heavy ripped dress on. I didn't even make it 4 steps when the alpha king pounced on my back sending m
This Chapter contains strong scenes of self harm. Please read at your own risk.Dylan POV. I didn't have it in me to fight back, so I just let him carry me, my naked body flopped over his biceps as he began walking indoors. Servants and maids scurried passed us many times, non of them even daring to look at me or the king. He made his way up every single flight of stairs while carrying me effortlessly, until finally coming to our rooms. I could feel his gaze on me but I refused to meet it, my head remained facing away from him. "I require you to stay in my room tonight. Sharing a bed will help the bond grow between us." So much for having an adjustment period. He placed a gentle kiss on top of my head before walking into his room. He carried me through it and to his bathroom where he sat me on the toilet. "We'll need to hose you off before bed though, I can't have you staining my sheets now can I?" I didn't answer, I didn't even acknowledge that I had heard him. He sighed heavily b
5 years ago. BANG! "Ahhhh" my mom screamed as howls and gun shots were going off outside the house. I pushed the curtains aside so I could look out of the window at what was going on. "Dylan, stay away from there." My dad instantly grabbed hold of my wrist and dragged me away from it. He ran me over to my mom who was holding my baby brother tight in her arms. "Both of you stay inside no matter what you hear." he grabbed a hand gun out of a draw and went to walk out. "NO! Dad, you can't leave." He shook his head and crouched down slightly to look me in the eye."Someone has to help them." He tucked my mad hair behind my ear and kissed my forehead. "You're in charge Dil, you need to protect your mom and your brother, ok?" My eyes were brimming already at the thought of my dad leaving me but I nodded as I let the tears fall. "Stay strong kiddo, no matter what happens, don't show these mutts any weakness. Promise me Dil!" I sniffed as I nodded my head. "I promise dad, I'll protect th
Dylan POV"What the fuck was going through your head?" The door slammed completely open jolting me out of my thoughts. The king then sped toward the side of my bed and forced me into a large hug leaving me wincing in pain, he angrily inhaled my scent before shoving me away from him. "The second I smelt all that blood I panicked, and then I saw Lewis carrying you, my beta of all people, not only have you made it impossible for me to trust you I also had to explain to the press that your ok after they got wind of what you did." The press know what I did? No! That means it'll be everywhere, that means my mom and Freddie will see it. "Do you know how this makes me look?" He was angry, great, I knew he would be, but I guess I just hoped I'd be dead so I wouldn't be on the receiving end of it. "The important thing is that you're ok, you gave us all quite a scare." Lewis spoke calmly, as he placed a hand on the kings shoulder. "No, this is disgusting behavior, you have made a show of the r
Nick POV. She was his mate, my best friend, the person who I had all of my firsts with, was his mate, the alpha king, the leader of the Lycanthrope. She was claimed no less than a few days ago, and since then school had been so quiet. The usual rebellious students had become less vocal and everyone seemed to be walking on egg shells. I was sat in class, listening to Mr Foley try and teach us when the tannoy went off and our principles voice floated through the classroom. "Students, please congregate in the main hall as an important announcement will be given from the royal court. Thank you." My head shot to Mr Foley who clearly had the same idea as me, it must have been news about Dylan. "Ok, class. Pack your things away, we will continue our lesson after." This can't be good. Dylan is reckless, she's a loose cannon who doesn't mind taking punishment if she believes she is in the right. Which most of the time she is. The entire class began to leave for the main hall and I myself w
Nick POV. The second I got into class Dylan was unquestionably the topic of conversation. "… And she had such a huge go at us for giving in to our mates, she was loving all that attention." Ericas statement made me feel appalled, yes, Dylan may have been a bit to harsh on us mated humans, but she did have reason. "Are you blind." I yelled as I stormed up to her. "Dylan hated every moment of that. Look how much she has changed in just a few days. She was exhausted and clearly in pain. She looked almost ill." I ranted, how can she say that about her. I can't believe how awful Dylan looked. "She had clearly taken a beating if not worse.""Alright class, settle down. I know you all must be worried about Dylan, I am as well but there isn't anything we can do. You know the rules and weather we like it or not she is the alpha kings mate. She is to be the next queen so we shouldn't let our mouths wander." Mr Foley was right, Dylan was trapped, no matter what we try to do, she wont be getti
Dylan POV. "Hey kiddo, you need to eat. You can't do anything if you haven't got the strength." Carlos had been worried about me all week. He stated that I’m getting worse treatment than even him. The dungeon is cold and dark, the potent smell of mold lingered in the air and my body had become extremely thin frail and weak. My clothes consisted of a small brown, potato like sack, dress that was draped over my head. It had little holes in here and there and now had a few blood splatters all over. I did have a single piece of rope that I used for a belt but that only showed my underweight figure more. I was extremely dirty, dried blood rested in my hair and on my skin. I hadn't showered in a long time. I smelt really bad my hair was greasy and extremely knotted, and only god knows what my teeth looked like. I had no shoes so my feet were bare and dry, and my lips were cracked from the insufferable amount of times the king had defiled me. For the last month the king had come down to s
