CHAPTER 83
Chosen By The Moon
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 w in, her eyes immediately squinted in accusation and her words sliced through the silver room.
âWhat is going on here?â As soon as the womanâs voice began 1 felt the bed jolt from behind me and my eyes followed the movement. A loud shocked g How could we have both fallen asleep like that? Itâs a bloody good job the king wasnât there to see us in bed together, I imagine Lewis would have been âThere is an explanation for thisâ¦â I rushed out as I got back on my feet only to see the beta fidgeting slightly from the opposite side of the bed. He must beta Lewis definitely could.
âThe king will hear about this!â Greta stated as she stared at the two of us. I had no doubt that would be the case but I had to still attempt to stop word getting out. Besides nothing had happened. The beta was simply trying to help me last night by stopping me from panicking. He was the one p âThereâs nothing to inform the king, well, there is nothing more to say that I havenât already. Her grace was clearly in a state of distress, I simply did my duty and calmed her.â Thatâs right, though Iâm not sure any of the people in t âNo matter. We need to get her grace ready for the day ahead. If you please, lord beta.â Greta had some nerve speaking to the royal beta and gesturing least now I see why. The woman was insufferable.
I watched as Lewis awkwardly left the room and sighed, this was not a situation 1 expected to be in. Why couldnât Lewis have just been my i mate? Yes heâs a wolf, but heâs kind, and treats me like an actual human being instead of a punching bag. Id even managed to gain weight these past few weeks while being under the betas care, granted I was still only allowed the basic meals, however if I was still hungry, Lewis would see to it that I got more, I felt healthier than I had in a long time.
The ladies quickly began to get me ready. I was finally getting used to having daily makeovers, at least up until New, although I did find it irritating. I just sat there and let them work. My face was prodded with about 20 different make up brushes, my head felt like it had been dragged th By the time I was ready, over an hour had passed, I couldnât help but wonder if Carles had to go through a similar morning routine, of course he is a man, so makeup wasnât needed, and he hasnât received half the physical torment for basically two years before his release.
Now heâd been out for a few days yet was still placed in heavy chains. It must be difficult for him to walk with them on especially with our muscle mass b it is.
Upon my exit I was met by Lewis, who instantly began to follow me to the entrance hall where todays Lycan history lesson was being held. I was somewhat finding them to be rather informative. The le They may have been long, and they may have resulted in slightly stinging knuckles after getting hit with a ruler a few times, but they really were interesti âDylan, you are to go directly to the throne room. Carlos, I believe Lorellia is waiting for you in the gardens. The queen spat at us before taking the arm o I nodded my head and left only to find the personal escort that was assigned to me upon my arrival at the palace, Warren. He stood outside waiting for âWhere is Beta Lewis?â I asked, my voice taking on a small shake as I looked at the stem man. He hardly moved as his eyes tracked down to stare at my frame.
âHe has business to sort. Was his curt answer, I wasnât able to say anything else before my upper arm was grabbed and pulled roughly down the corridor causing my body to fail in hopes to catch up to the man dragging me. I fell a few times trying to keep pace but being unable to, hucky fall completely, however Iâm fairly certain that fingerprint bruises were now forming on my skin.
By the time we made it to the entrance to the throne room, I was completely out of breath. The doors opened slowly and I was pushed inside only to find âItâs so good to be homeâ¦â The king slowly raised from the throne at the top of the hall and began to approach my now somewhat quivering body. âDid y Did I miss him? No, I didnât miss him at all, not in the fucking slightest.
