Chapter 64
“Her grace is in no position to travel and you know it!” My eyes opened to see Lewis holding the king back, I watched the royal alpha struggle in his betas hold, due to Lewis’s interference, a small fight broke out between the two wolves.
After simply a minute, beta Lewis suddenly spun the king around with some force and slammed him into the wall near the door. My eyes widened at the act as did the kings, the latter of which immediately stopped his
struggle.
“She can’t travel in this condition.”
That was hot….
Wait, not hot but you know, it was nice to have someone on my side for once. I had said it before that lewis was a good looking man, but seeing him stand up to the king was something I wasn’t expecting, especially when he was standing up to him for my sake.
“And what do you expect me to do with her if I was to go alone? I can’t have her locked in the dungeon again, can 1? You told me yourself she couldn’t stay down there.” What? Lewis was the reason the king released me? Why would lewis have plead for my release?
“I’ll stay! I’ll make sure she doesn’t do anything stupid!” The kings movements halted and he shook the betas grip off him.
“She always does something stupid.” It appears the king will always be mad at me. No matter what I do. “She’s coming, even if I have to drag her out.”
“You would drag me out regardless. I wasn’t helping Lewis at all but I didn’t want the king to think what he done can just be forgotten. He had mutilated me.
“Josh, she’s not in a good way and you know it. You went too far this time. She’s not going with you! You’ll have to either send an envoy or go alone.” I felt my heart thump inside my chest at Lewis’s words. He really was trying to protect me. He had no intention of letting Josh take me with him.
“You dare tell me what I can and can’t do with my own mate?!‘ The kings voice was slowly rising, while 1 couldn’t help but mentally commend Lewis on his calm demeanor despite the kings rage.
“I do when she is my queen, and in a state of discontent. Could wolves hear heartbeats? Because if they could I should apologize as mine most likely sounded like drums going off in the room.
“She’s coming with me…” Lewis shook his head and growled at king Josh.
“She’s not going as long as I’m here!” The argument was starting to become childish now.
“Fine!” The kings fist quickly swung and smashed into the wall closest to him, then turned back to his beta pure frustration took hold of his features as he pointed at his friends face. “She stays, but she will stay with you! I swear to the goddess that if One thing goes wrong I will hold you completely accountable.” King Josh then took one last look at me before storming out of the room.
“Why did you do that for me?” I asked as my gaze met that of the betas.
“You don’t deserve to be treated like this. No one does.” He walked over to me and placed his hand on my head, the gesture seemed to warm my cheeks a little bit as my eyes met his. “Get some rest, Dylan, you need
it.”
He was right, I could feel my eyes closing as I stared at the man who had helped me. Everything about him seemed to have suddenly changed and I couldn’t help the small smile that played on my lips as I looked at
him.
“Thank you…” I managed to whisper out before my eyes once again closed, I sighed as his large hand began to stroke my hair, and I heard a chair scrape on the floor, I felt his lips gently press against my forehead in affection before they gently pecked my skin causing yet another sigh to leave me. I was tired, I was scared, but with Lewis here with me, I knew I was safe, and so, although I didn’t think I’d ever be able to sleep peacefully again, I’d managed to lose myself in his touch and fall into a deep sleep.
