Chapter 54
Dylan POV
The beta was quick to help me to my feet as I still sucked in breath, coughing and clutching my now bruising stomach. “Are you alright?”
*I’ll live, unfortunately.” I held on to Lewis’s arm for a minute as I tried to quickly regain my breath. I felt the two people in the room stare at me as I finally managed to stand to my full height, my hand still resting on my abused tummy while a frown rested on my face.
“You’re required to wear this for the event. The lady didn’t have a single care about what had just unfolded, instead she held the outfit up. It was the same brown potato sack material that I’d worn in the dungeon for the last month however instead of a dress it appeared to be a long top and some straight leg pants.
Lewis turned his back away from me respectfully as I sighed, taking the outfit from the lady. I slipped the top on first over my now entirely naked torso and groaned. The material was indeed the scratchy fabric I had grown accustomed to, the bottom of the top rested on the skin between my knees and hips on my now also naked thighs. The top was sleeveless showing both my graffiti scar and my self harmed scar, each scar rested almost perfectly on each of my forearms. I couldn’t help but also notice the large amount of finger shaped bruises that littered my arms, some were a horrible yellow color and fading but others were deep purple

I stepped out of the heavy fabric that gown, and into the light itchy fabric that was the pants. They rested extremely low on my hips and had a single piece of rope inside the waist band that I could pull tight enough so they wouldn’t fall down..
“Your hair is to be tied in a high ponytail, I have an elastic for you.” I sighed and without a single word began
one by one, about 5 minutes went by before my long hair cascaded down my back, once my hair was down, I quickly scooped it into my hands and took the literal rubber band from the woman who nodded her head satisfied with the finished result. I was dressed like the criminals sent to the palace for public execution.
to pull clips and Bobby pins out of my extravagant updo and placed them on the coffee table”
“What of my feet?” I asked aggressively as I looked at the heels that I had on not 10 minutes ago.
“Bare!” Barefoot, well it’s a hot March day, so at least I won’t be cold. I sighed before tucking a single loose strand of hair behind my ear, a little wisp that was too short to reach the bulk of my ponytail. I watched as the lady’s eyes clouded over signaling her obvious mind link, Lewis looked at me and smiled nodding his head in reassurance, I’m not sure what he was silently trying to say though, nothing was going to calm my heart rate down at this point.
Within a second the king marched back through the doors and over to me. He looked me up and down and nodded in satisfaction, before turning to the lady who supervised me while I changed. “Adequate!” He then walked to be directly in front of my shaking form, his eyes turned hard and a grimace replaced his nonchalant expression. “You are not my mate for the duration of this event, you are not queen and you are not special, you are simply…” I cut him off holding my forearm up to him with a deadpan expression.
“Human scum?!” I heard a small snort from Lewis who then covered his emotion up with a cough, it wasn’t hard to have heard him or to realize that he found my attitude somewhat amusing.
“Precisely. The library once again fell into silence however unlike before with me and Lewis, this one was

awkward, and nerve wracking. My quickening heart rate was slowly filling up the room, even I could hear it so god knows the wolves could.
The room was completely silent as we all waited for something to happen. My mind was racing with fear, if the king meant what he said, then I was about to feel a rather substantial amount of pain. Within a few minutes the royal guard who had been sent away came back into the room and bowed low to the king.
“Everything is prepared, your majesty. With that four more men emerged from behind him while the king. simply began to fix his regal uniform slightly.
“And the press?” I swallowed thickly, the daunting feeling that I was about to once again be on full display in front of the world, came scraping over me like a tsunami.
“All accounted for. They wait in anticipation.” The king nodded and as soon as his action was complete I was roughly grabbed and dragged to the main entrance hall of the palace.
The second I saw the palace doors, i bagan to fight slightly. I didn’t want to go out in public looking the way I do. Everyone who thought I was strong and brave will see me and the shell I’ve become. I couldn’t have that.
My legs were flailing in hopes that I got away, but it was pointless, the guards grip on me was far too firm and I knew I wasn’t getting myself out of this one. The palace doors then opened to reveal news crews and hundreds of people of the public, gathering just to witness my misery.
The king Immediately walked to the centre of the steps while I was detained in the doorway, he held his arms up to silence the noisy crowd, before addressing the cameras and peopl
“Lycans, today it is with a very heavy heart that I announce, a public punishment must be given.” It was rare to have a public punishment at the palace, usually executions of rebellious humans would take place, I guess I was an exception. “My beautiful mate and your future queen, refuses to accept the ways of our culture and the new world. We must make an example of those who oppose this world, no matter who they are, or what they will be. All humans should be subservient to our kind.
We are superior!”
It sickens me to say that an uproar of cheers began to emit from the crowd at the Kings words. Almost as soon as he was finished I was pushed out into view. Gasps and faces of shock and horror landed on me as I was pushed out, the force alone caused me to loose my unsteady footing and I tumbled down some of the palace steps before landing at the kings feet. Blood quickly poured out of my elbow as it scraped on the floor, and my chin painfully made contact with the concrete causing me to bite my lip making it bleed. The king didn’t waste any time in hurling me up onto my feet and showing me off to the crowd. I knew, as soon as I saw the crowd outside the palace that the king definitly wasnt going to go easy on me. Well, Let my torture begin. quickly so it can end quicker, King Josh!
