When I opened my eyes , I wasn’t in the cell that I had thought that I would be in, I was laying in a bed in a comfortable room.
The heat from the fire kept the room warm and the room smelled like earth mixed with the faint smell of smoke. I rolled my head to the other side as I took a good look at the fine linen used to decorate the room, the tall narrow windows with strained color glass gave royalty. All the events from last night flooded in. that bastard. He betrayed me and still called me his. He would never, I wasn’t a property or a commodity to be owned. My room opened and a girl walked in curly dark hair going down on her pretty brown skin. She had a tray in her hand as she approached me and when she saw me awake a smile appeared on her face . “Didn’t know you were going to be awake now”she tells me as she sets aside the tray. Before she could say something else, the door to her room opened and there he was. Standing in his glory and in his kingly regalia. Dylan. He took slow steps towards me before the girl noticed his presence and she bowed curtly and walked away . My eyes never left his , I watched his every move , the way all of his steps were calculated and his hands behind him. The girl shut the door and once she did ,Dylan sat on the chair in front of the bed. “Come here princess, " he says, nudging me to come forward. At that instant I felt something break inside of me and my head went nuts. Right now I wanted to scream and shout and blame him for leaving me all alone when he could have protected me and yet he walks in after I almost lost my like a hero, not happening. Dylan stare reminded me that he was waiting and ignoring all the thought inside me , I moved towards him obediently and then sat in front of him. Dylan lets out a heavy breath as he picks up the towel and squeezes it in the water before using it on my head. The room is silent , just our breaths could be heard. As I sat there in that light linen gown, I felt the intense feeling of my heart trying to jump out of my chest. Dylan doesn’t seem to notice any of this, his focus was more on the injury I had on my head. The silence in the room was deafening and heavy. I wanted to say the words, I wanted to scream at him and blame him for hurting me. Dylan drops the towel and then pauses for a moment before he dips it in again but this time he doesn't touch my forehead he drops it on my lap. “Sorry princess”he tells me calmly, a smile starting to build up at the corner of his lips as he slowly moves the gown pressing the warm towel on my lap . My heart started rising and I felt this surge of electricity going through me and my blood pumping faster than ever, I felt hot. “Stop” I tell him, grabbing his hands as I breath out heavily. I didn’t know if it was because I let a man touch me or the fact that I hadn’t been touched by any man and most definitely it was him, the rogue Alpha. Dylan seemed pleased by my words, he slowly dropped the towel before turning to face me. “You left me to die”I say, my voice coming out deadly and slower. Dylan's expression didn't change. He didn't look surprised; it was like he had been expecting me to say the words with the way he braced himself up and seeing him say nothing I continued. Just a few minutes to that moment , you asked me to run and escape if something happened to you but what did you do in return . What did you think those men were going to do to my body? I know you don’t like me and I sincerely don’t blame you for that , but I thought I was your friend and you hurt me so much . You can’t just come in and act like my savior when all of that could’ve been avoided. By the time I had finished speaking I was out of breath and the anger was rushing through my veins. Dylan seemed really amused by what I had just said , because there was still a smirk at the corner of his lips, there was always one, I had noticed , whenever I spoke with him he always had a smile on. Dylan stood up from the chair “take you tea princess it would help you recover” he said as he turned towards the door . He was ignoring me, my questions, how dare he ? Something snapped in me and the next moment I was limping at him and grabbing his hands. “I demand an answer Dylan” I say to him almost out of breath . Dylan turned to me and when he did my legs gave in and I backed up against the wall as he approached me . Soon he was hovering on top of me , this time I could feel his green eyes drifting into mine and for the first time I could hear his breathing. Rigid and steady. Did I ever say humans are insufferable with your nagging,you complain about almost everything princess. “Look at me” he commanded and my head snapped towards his direction. Dylan slowly bends to my level as he trails his hands on my face, stopping at my lips and pulling me to stare at him. His heavy body was against me and right now I felt like I could disappear. All you should say is thank you, princess. Did you really think that I brought you here to have you killed, if I wanted to I would have done that in the woods, though that’s still under consideration. Tell me princess , did you really think that the fact that I’m king or An alpha was going to save you from the anger of my people. Let me tell you, the little stunt I pulled out there saved your life and you should be thankful. Dylan pulled away from me and this time he had this serious look on his face and I knew that he wasn’t lying , I could feel it. My head bent down. “ you should be grateful to you, don't you think ?” I’m not a monster princess and I don’t go about killing people for fun , whatever lies your father had filled your head with isn’t me and I don’t go about killing people who saved me . His words gave me some consolation. I watched him walk towards the door and then he stopped. No one is going to hurt you princess, I meant it and you look funny in that. “Why are you saving me?” I found the words slipping out of my mouth as Dylan stopped on his track. Dylan turns to look at me , his eyes boring into mine . I know if you wanted me dead you would.why do you keep saving me ? Dylan looks at me,the smile wiping off his face “You know princess” he says and all that I heard next was his heavy footsteps waking down the hall.The humans are here.His words kept ringing in my head as the panic hit through me , the fear going through my veins.My father, he was here , here to claim me.“Protect me princess Jake “ Dylan screams out before dashing through the door.Jake doesn't wait for another word , but the next instant , he grabs me up from the chair putting me in his arms as he walks out of the office .My eyes went to the other side of the hall and all that I could hear was the swords clashing together coming from there.Jack's grip on me was hard as he ran towards my room but before we got closer , I saw a man standing by the way .I felt Jake back tense and the next moment, he was dropping me on the floor .“Get out of the way Ken , I don’t want to kill you” he says, dragging out his sword.Ken had a big cut on his face probably from the wars that he had fought in and right now he didn’t look too pleased to see me , I could tell .Ken dragged out his swords as he walked closer to Jake.Why shoul
The familiar smell of forest and cinnamon filled my nostrils the moment I stepped into his office.Dylan was seated on the chair in the most basic tops that I had seen him in and he was writing into the book in front of him.“Shut the door princess” his voice interrupted my thoughts.I pushed the door closed and turned, Dylan had stopped writing and was staring at me as he nudged me to sit on the chair that was just opposite him.I sat on it, placing the book that I had picked from the library on my lap. We both sat in silence as just the sounds of Dylan breathing can be heard in the office.I took out my time to look around, the fire at the corner of the office made it warm and also the flower vase on top of the table mixed with the rough files on the table and the soft comfy couch at the right side of the room.My eyes looked around surveying his surroundings. He had changed, the long dark hair that looked so unkept that night had been trimmed to perfectly fit his fac
In the few days that followed, I spent them in the room without coming out.I didn’t see any reason to and the only person that had come into my room was her.Sylvia the brown skin girl.Right now, I was standing by the window watching the castle from where I stood when the door opened .It was Sylvia and when I turned it was her she had a thick pullover with her.I had worn shorts and a top which still felt cold , since the north was very cold.“This would do the job”she says as she hands me a sweater.Thank you Sylvia nodded and then nugged at me and l followed her.I walked out of my room for the first time since I arrived in this pack and since it was late , I couldn’t see much but Sylvia was right ahead of me.Sylvia was the girl that Dylan had asked to look out for me , something tells me that she hated me but then she just had to do it .We have spoken a few words to the other since but I understand and I just don’t want to push it.As we walked down the hall , I co
When I opened my eyes , I wasn’t in the cell that I had thought that I would be in, I was laying in a bed in a comfortable room.The heat from the fire kept the room warm and the room smelled like earth mixed with the faint smell of smoke.I rolled my head to the other side as I took a good look at the fine linen used to decorate the room, the tall narrow windows with strained color glass gave royalty.All the events from last night flooded in. that bastard.He betrayed me and still called me his.He would never, I wasn’t a property or a commodity to be owned.My room opened and a girl walked in curly dark hair going down on her pretty brown skin. She had a tray in her hand as she approached me and when she saw me awake a smile appeared on her face . “Didn’t know you were going to be awake now”she tells me as she sets aside the tray.Before she could say something else, the door to her room opened and there he was.Standing in his glory and in his kingly regalia.Dylan.
The last 24 hours of my life have been the most depressing hours.Everything had happened so fast, at the beginning of this week I was supposed to be my people’s princess but here I was, caged and locked away in a cell in the wolf kingdom awaiting my fate which I knew was death.My heart still hurts from the betrayal that I felt from him, his face haunted me. I had tried not to think about it , but it hurts so much .The way he looked at me , the anger and the disgust in his eyes, I saved him from my fathers cell , but this is what I get as a thank you.Being betrayed by my father and now by the monster I unleashed, what was I thinking ? that the wolves were going to accept me with open arms.The door to the cell that I had been kept in was suddenly pushed open and the two guards that were standing by the door walked in and dragged me up.Struggling with them was of no use to them, I was weak and hadn’t eaten a good meal in days.The guards dragged me with them to the s
Dylan fastened his hands around me pulling me closer to himself as he drove towards the city gates.It wasn’t close as I had thought or imagined , by the time we got to the city gate , it was nightfall.Dylan unsheathed the sword from the horse and raised it up from where we were, I heard the gasp from the men at the gates and the next moment the big gate was being pulled open .Dylan didn’t seem to care about the shocked expression on the faces of the men in front of us.He stopped the horse and then stretched his hands towards me , I grabbed them and then he pulled me down with him as the guards behind him took the horse.“ Stay close princess” he whispered silently as we walked into the castle in the dim light .Something about the environment felt weird and sacred , it was like the night that my father tried to have me killed.As we stepped into the castle, Dylan stopped and at that moment he looked around and for the first time in days of being in the woods with him , I
