Dylan POV. I just stared at the shell of the man in front of me, I was completely unsure of what to do so I turned to Lewis, who looked even more puzzled than I was. By the look of his face, I'd say he didn't even know who the man was. I mean if Carlos had in fact been taken straight to the dungeon then I guess half the castle wouldn't know who he was. "Aren't you that rebellion leader?" Lewis asked as he approached the knelt man who had yet to lift his head out of his hands. "I thought you'd already been..." The beta quickly caught his words before they left his mouth. His comment once again bought me back to the reality that Lewis was in fact a wolf, who had been raised on the notion that executions were just. "Carlos, you haven't accepted her have you?" For once, I wouldn't have blamed him at all if he had have. I mean, if she was actually pregnant then that would mean he was going to be a father, I'm not even sure what I would do in that situation. "Not yet." He sniffed and w

Lewis POV I watched from the back of the room as she danced with the mate of Lorellia. The queen had now been tasked with teaching not just the mate of the king but both Dylan and Carlos in the ways of being a royal, however my eyes were solely focused on Dylan. She was definitely getting better at dancing, and the more her confidence increased, the more beautiful she became, not that it was actually possible for her to get any prettier. I'd always found her alluring, but now she was almost irresistible. It had been a day since that Carlos guy had been released from the dungeon and he was already being forced to learn how to dance. I suppose it was a good thing in a way, because now Dylan's dance partner had about as much experience as she did, and so ability wise they were very well matched. I had to admit that they were matched in attitude as well. He almost has as much hatred for our kind as Dylan had. Only the goddess knows what the pair of them had been through in the past 5 y

Dylan POV It was a knock at the door that made me bolt upright in bed. I rubbed my eyes tiredly and looked up to see my handmaiden already staring at me with wide eyes. Why she appeared so startled was completely beyond me. That is until Greta walked in, her eyes immediately squinted in accusation and her words sliced through the silver room. "What is going on here?!" As soon as the woman's voice began I felt the bed jolt from behind me and my eyes followed the movement. A loud shocked gasp left me as the beta shot up in bed, I didn't think about what I was doing when I scurried out from underneath the covers and crashed to the floor after falling off the edge. How could we have both fallen asleep like that? It's a bloody good job the king wasn't there to see us in bed together, I imagine Lewis would have been killed instantly. Although Greta and my personal handmaiden weren't pleased at all about my guest. "There is an explanation for this..." I rushed out as I got back on my fee

Dylan POV.I couldn't do anything but stand and watch as King Josh stalked towards me, all of my resilience completely dissolved upon seeing him, and with it my body began to tremble. I instantly got on my knee in a very low bow, and waited until he was directly in front of me. "I asked you a question... Did you miss me?!" His tone was deadly as he looked down on my shaking form, he let out a scoff before my shoulders were grabbed and I was hauled up on to my feet, he quickly pressed his nose into my neck, and took a long inhale. Obviously he was taking my scent in. He let out a hum of satisfaction before his claws grew and dug into the skin on my upper arms causing me to wince in pain. "No, I don't suppose you have, have you?!" I swallowed thickly as my eyes darted around the room, Oliver was there, along with the kings father and of course Warren. The one person I wished to see however wasn't present in the room, and because of Lewis's absence a sinking feeling began in my chest.

He wasted no time in plunging his entire length into me. A cry left my lips and my eyes watered as I realized I was getting fucked in front of beta Lewis. You would think the king would eventually stop finding ways to humiliate me. He was relentless with his thrusts. Each one more powerful and angrier than the last. One of his hands left my wrist and went to my neck steadying himself and blocking my airways again slightly, in the process as he continued his onslaught. "Do you see it yet?!" The king addressed both me and my one man audience as he remained steady and consistent in his movements. "Do you see that you're mine?!" I had no reply as I tried to imagine I was somewhere else, trying to block the pain out of my mind, trying to go som
