Chapter 78
“Dylan has been through a lot, I just want her safe.” Diplomatic and accurate. He was just trying to look out for me, which I was insanely grateful for, if it wasn’t for him, I would have already shattered completely. He was my rock.
“That’s a joke right?” This was getting slightly hostile now. Carlos was being ridiculous. He was going to end up in a worse state than me if he kept this attitude up. “We are the only humans in the entire palace and you’re trying to keep her safe? She’s not safe, not at all, as long as she is here she is and always will be a target.” Well I had to agree, no one could keep me safe. The most Lewis could do was comfort me whenever something shit happened. Which I suppose he has done. “Have you forgotten where we are?” He turned directly to me and asked me his question as if I were completely idiotic, which only angered me.
“Carlos, that is enough!” I was sick to death of hearing him talk. “I know exactly where we are, I’ve most likely seen more of the palace than you have! I also know that while the king is away and can’t do anything to me, I am going to relax as much as I possibly can. I have had to find some comfort in any form I could, and that came from Beta Lewis.” I ranted only to watch the rebels face fall as he looked at me.
“I’m sick to death of being told what I can and can’t do, not a single Lycan, or a human can tell me how I am supposed to cope while I’m here. That is my decision.” I watched both men look at each other in shock at my words, but in the end they both did nod their heads.
“Carlos, don’t run your mouth too much now that you’re out of the dungeon. Mate or not you’ll still get severely hurt if you’re caught saying something you shouldn’t. The royal family doesn’t take being shown up lightly.”
I sighed, I was supposed to be relaxing in my only moments of peace but in stead I had to chastise a man for telling me how I should be feeling. I turned away from him to grab the large book I had been trying to read, when a loud gasp left Carlos’s lips. With the book in my hand I turned to him and saw his horror stricken face.
“What the fuck happened to your back?” Oh right… I was wondering why he was so alarmed. I let out a very hollow chuckle as I clutched the book.
“What do you think happened? I said no to the king!” I shrugged and took a seat on the sofa opposite him, the one beat Lewis usually sat at. “Get some rest while you can, Carlos. I imagine you’re in for a rough few months.” I sat cross legged and quickly opened my book to page 12, determined to get through a bit more of it before I got too bored.
The thought Carlos was becoming a new father again was terrifying, I suppose it was just a matter of time before I get pregnant myself. At least Carlos doesn’t really have much to do until his child is born, I couldn’t bare the thought of carrying the next king or queen of the lycanthrope, Knowing exactly how King Josh would raise them. He’d teach them to be brutal towards my kind. That’s something I couldn’t stomach.
I’m honestly not sure what I would do if that day came, I only know one thing. I’d do whatever it took to end the situation
