Chapter 124
Dylan’s POV.
Click!.
I pressed the trigger of the gun down with no hesitation at all, but the g
gun simply
y clicked!
I pressed it again and again until it had been confirmed that it would not fire! My tears were never ending as I frowned in desperation and moved it away from my body slightly only for it to fire a bullet into the grass that lay beside me, causing me to jump out of my skin. I have no idea why it wouldn’t fire for me but I tried twice more only for it to click. I shook my sorrow off and without thinking quickly stood onto my shaking feet, and pointed the barrel at the king instead, his wide eyes met mine and challenge swam over his features.
“Drop the gun, my queen, and no will get hurt!” That was bullshit, I’d get hurt, I’d threatened the king, the gun I held wasn’t filled with silver, it wasn’t heavy enough and I know the royal lycans weren’t stupid enough to carry weapons that could kill their own kind, but it would pack a sting.
“Bullshit! Someone always gets hurt by you!” I held it up to him as the audience that was gathered in sorrow for my mom was now slowly following me and the king. I saw Oliver quickly take a step towards me but I held firm. “Don’t move! Or I’ll shout him in the head myself! My voice was raspy and the months of me forcing my tears back all Blooded out at once leaving me unable to stop sobbing as I held my ground. Reject me!”
The king shook his head and held his hands up a smug smile on his face as he looked at me. “You won’t shoot me, I know you, so do yourself a favor and give me the gun!” I seethed as my hands shook and I fired it again only to have it kick back, and a single bullet flew from it through the air, within a second the bullet had hit the kings shoulder and blood spurted out of it slightly.
Damn it, I missed his head!
My eyes widened at what I’d done and I quickly pointed it at my head again, only to have the warm wind return and it to simply click again, as if it were out of bullets, it made me begin to weep even more uncontrollably as I tried and tried to put a bullet in my head.
While I was momentarily distracted the gun was roughly snatched out of my hands by the lord beta and the kings frustration came e out in the form of a loud slap on my cheek causing me to fall to the floor, as a fresh stream of tears flooded down my face, not at the slap but at my rotten luck.
“WHY!” I screamed, I wasn’t even speaking to the king I was just screaming at the empty air surrounding me. “Why, why, why, why, WHY?!”
I must have looked positively crazy as I knelt on the concrete weeping and shouting at the world. I just wanted to die, more so now than ever before. I felt my entire resolve slipping away as I slowly curled into a ball and clutched my chest
My heart was broken, the pain and guilt I felt was too much for me to bare, and I let my sorrow be known as I screamed in agony at my loss. The king simply stood in front of me, waiting for me to finish, like someone waiting for a small child to stop a tantrum. He left me for 5 minutes until a gasp left his lips obviously something had happened that caused him some anger, but I didn’t know what, and I didn’t care. I really and genuinely didn’t care, I just finally allowed the sorrow, and the pain that had been slowly eating me alive, finally take hold of my being.
“This ends now!” The king grabbed hold of my arm and used it to pull me onto my weak feet then forced my body into a very tight unwanted hug, so I swung my arms at him, my hands clenched into tight fists as I began to wall on him. I did absolutely no damage at all but it felt good to finally hit back
“No, get off me!” I screamed as I hit his chest over and over again. Crying hysterically as I did so. “I hate you, I hate you!” I didn’t know how to make him hate me, I’d just shot him and he still wanted me. “How can you feel nothing?” My voice was slowly getting quieter as I realized I was never going to get away. I was stuck, with the murderous tyrant who had taken my moms life just because he thinks he’s entitled to me and only me. Eventually 1 stopped hitting him and fell to my knees at his feet. “Please!” I looked up at him and watched his eyes falter ever so slightly at seeing the emptiness inside mine. “Please, I’m begging you your grace, just kill me… I… could I even say the words that were on the top of my tongue? I had to try. “If… if you really love me then kill me… please, please, I can’t… I can’t live like this anymore.” I shook my head, Bowing it low to the man I hated more than anything.
