CHAPTER 107

Dylan POV stared at the districts soon to be beta and frowned, I was unable to read him, however I know for a fact the same couldn’t be said about me. My facial ex Thank you.” He sounded extremely sincere and so I hesitantly took his outstretched palm in my right one and shook it firmly. Thank you so much, if it wa “I’d have been lashed, or worse.” Erin spoke quietly yet gratefully as she met my eyes. It probably would have been a double lashing, the king doesn’t like being shown up.

“Yeah well, better me than you, right? One more scar isn’t going to change the fact that I’m covered in them. Just keep your mouth shut next time.” Again “That doesn’t mean you should bring attention to yourself instead of someone else. You did it today too, at school with Tony.” Nick was right, I probably shouldn’t do tha “Look, getting hurt is just my reality. Someone has to stand up to him, and I don’t particularly see anyone else stepping up, do you? Besides, no matter w ledge…

I missed him!

“That doesn’t stop him from coming close to killing you though. Nick was probably referring to the severe lashing I received, the day the king burnt me w “I don’t fear death, Nick, I welcome it with open arms and a shit eating grin. I shrugged again and ran my good hand over my hair in exasperation, I prob tired, I’m in pain and quite frankly, I feel embarrassed to even be back here in this district after everything, so I’m gonna go upstairs and try to rest before “You’ve not been marked, but you share the kings scent… you’ve done other things haven’t you?” Arya had no filter. I knew there would be some change would pick up on it, but to actually smell like him! To share his scent caused unease and nausea to sweep through me. Instead in true fashion, I turned a “What I don’t get, is why you would let the king even do that to you, you won’t accept his mark so why allow other things to happen?” I didn’t surprise me “Yeah well, it turns out that a mate can do whatever they want to you without permission Nick, everything except marking you. He’s got complete control “You mean, he’s forced himself on you?” Adrian seemed absolutely appalled by this revelation. Was that not obvious? I thought by this point everyone ju case.

“You can say the word rape you know? Im not gonna break down from hearing it… Maybe I was being too harsh, I saw the faces of my school peers dro My eyes were noticeably bored and half closed from exhaustion, and like I’d stated, it had been a very difficult, very long day, after I thought about it, sti “You needn’t ask, I’ll show you back to your room.” Adrian spoke before giving his mate a quick then speaking to her, nothing but the truth lay in his word “I love you too.” My eyes rolled in my head, I couldn’t believe how much life had continued while I had been away. It made me realize how insignificant my existence actually was.

Maybe it would be ok if I died, I doubt anyone would even bat an eye. My mom might cry for a bit, and Nick would maybe shed a few tears at my memor that, I was inconsequential at best.

Everyone I’d ever known or met, just stood by and watched while I’d take punishment, that was both before the king, and after he’d claimed me. I suppo this district thought that about me. Every single beating or lashing I was given, was just an excuse for someone to think that at least it wasn’t them.

I followed Adrian up the stairs and to my allocates room./ As soon as I was inside I wasted no time in flopping on the bed I relished in the silence of the ro It never did.
