Chapter 50
Dylan POV
“Miss Riley?!” My head met that of the royal family as they all stared at me while we sat and ate our breakfast. Did someone ask a question or something? I suppose I was falling asleep at the table, I hadn’t slept a wink last night after the latest rape 1 was subjected too. It was made worse when I got my period this morning, although it was somewhat of a relief that I wasn’t pregnant with that bastards child, besides, I’m lucky, maybe his swimmers are low. I mean he’s been raping me unprotected since I arrived here, it’s honestly a miracle that I’ve had no permanent consequences.
“When will you both complete the mating ritual?” The king had mentioned many times while I resided in the dungeon that the dowager queen was getting antsy. He kept telling me to let him mark me, but as I have stated many times before, I would rather die.
“Oh I imagine it’ll be done by the end of the five year anniversary celebrations.” My eyes widened at this, he was delusional if he thought we were ever going to be mated. “We have already performed the most difficult part, we
just need to do it after she has been marked.”
“Josh… you know these topics of conversation aren’t fit for the table. Poor Young Dylan hasn’t even seen the castle yet. I believe a tour would be lovely for her. A tour? The kings grandfather had a point, the only tour I had gotten was on my first day here and even that was mediocre at best. Did I really want to see the entirety of a castle I wouldn’t be in for much longer?
“You know I have duties to attend to today.” The king snapped at his grandfather awfully, and yet the old mant simply smiled.
“Perhaps Lewis could do it. I’m sure you can handle your affairs alone.” I honestly didn’t mind beta Lewis, he was definitely one of the kinder wolves that lived here.
“Fine, Lewis will take her on a tour, while I make preparations for her punishment.” I didn’t speak, I just continued to eat my rather bland oatmeal, while the wolves had pancakes, and waffles.
Once everyone had finished eating the king spoke to me. “Enjoy your tour, my queen. I will see you this afternoon for your punishment. He placed a kiss on my head before walking out with his mother and father in
tow.
“How are
e you feeling child?” I could have snapped at the old man, told him exactly how I felt, but what was the point in that. I would just get off worse than I already got. I shrugged my shoulders and felt the heavy gown I was wearing move with my motion.
“I’m fine thank you sir.” I bowed my head, before standing up on wobbly legs. The old wolf smiled at me before stopping me from walking any further.
“Please don’t lose your spirit, my dear.” He surprised me by his words and so I smiled. “I mean it, you are the strongest willed human I have seen in a long time. Don’t let my sadistic grandson ruin that. Keep your head high, you have done absolutely nothing wrong.” I think my spirit is gone, at least today. I was just completely exhausted from the night before, I had never actually slept in the presence of the king before.
“I am just tired today, sir, I didn’t sleep great last night.” The old man smiled sadly and nodded his head in a
1/2
knowing way.
“You didn’t sleep at all.” He wasn’t wrong, I don’t think I even got five minutes of freedom. I nodded silently. telling him that he was right. “Sir is very formal, you live here now, please just call me Caius.” That was a very traditional Lycan name, and it did remind me slightly that he was a wolf, but it didn’t stop him from being
kind.
“Thank you Mr Caius,” I walked to the doors and opened them only to reveal Beta Lewis, he looked regally dressed, as if he was supposed to be doing some stupid royal business, I looked at his face and noticed the bruise he was sporting yesterday was completely gone and I frowned at the thought of his healing abilities being so fast, I wish mine were.
The beta was very a very good looking man, even I had to admit that, his blonde hair sat messily yet smart on his head and his kind deep blue eyes were genuinely a welcome sight, he honestly may even be better looking than the king himself. He quickly smiled as he looked at my makeup covered face, his pearly white teeth showing nothing but glee which was again a nice change, I couldn’t help the small smile that made its way onto my lips for the first time since arriving.
“I definitely owe you a thank you, I hate attending meetings.” He chuckled as he spoke before looking at Calus. “Do you want to come with us, Caius?” He smiled, and I was actually grateful that I was with these two, instead of the king or his other family members.
“No, I think you and Dylan should enjoy your time while you can. Try and have some fun my dear, you’re in for a tough time this evening.” The kings grandpa smiled before nodding his head to me, and walking out of the room, going left at the doors..
He seemed so genuinely nice that it was hard to see him as the grandfather of the king. I was completely lost in thought, which was an extremely rare occurrence recently, I never felt comfortable enough to lose my head. I felt a hand go to my shoulder and forgot where I was for a second, hundereds of images of the king defiling me flew through my head, and I spun round instantly with my fist on instinct, hitting the royal beta square in
the face.
