DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter CHAPTER 60
Chapter 60
Dylan POV
I lay there for some time, staring at the wall while occasionally moving my head to face the other side giving my neck some much needed rest bite. I watched the moon go down and the sun begin it’s ascent in the sky, and slowly came to the realisation that no one was coming in before dawn.
Hours genuinely went by, and they were the best few hours of my time here, yes I was in pain, but I was completely alone, that in itself made me more at ease. Eventually the door to the room opened up and I heard footsteps approach my bed. On instinct I tensed up but quickly cased as Lewis’s voice shot through the room.
“Are you
awake!? My head turned to his direction and I frowned before nodding slowly. I’d been lying there for hours and since it was Lewis I couldn’t see any harm in finally asking for a drink.
“Please… can I have some water?” I couldn’t help but brace myself for the impact of a fist or even a foot, but
instead I watched his face morph into one of guilt, it was a shock to say the lea?
“Shit, of course. Just give me a second.” I didn’t have time to even acknowledge what he had said before he high tailed it out of the room. I stayed still, once again staring out the window at the painless, free birds that fly around. “Here!” Huh… I didn’t even hear him come back in.
I lifted my head up and came face to face with a large plastic cup full of the clear liquid I so desperately desired. There was condensation building up on the transparent cup that just screamed cold. It was like looking at pure bliss. I pushed my weak body up with my noodle arms and winced loudly at the pain it caused my back and forearms. I shook my head and scrunched my eyes up, completely unable to move. I’d received lashings before, but this was a whole new level, I had no doubt that there wasn’t a single patch of skin on my
back that wasn’t mutilated now.
“Hang on…” the beta placed the plastic cup on a little side table before running out of the room again, while I just lay there. Pain radiated from every inch of my body, and honestly I wasn’t even sure I’d ever physically heal properly. I know some of the nerves in my back were shot. The door opened again quickly before the water was picked up and a straw was placed inside before being held up to my chapped lips. I didn’t hesitate to wrap my mouth around the straw and allow myself a small moment of gratification.
The instant satisfaction that came from the water brought tears to my eyes. It soothed my scratchy throat and hydrated me more than I thought it would. I must have been bad if I was feeling so energised after having a simple drink of water.
“How are you feeling?” What a stupid question, he was always so awkward around me and honestly, it was a bit confusing to see, as humans we’ve been taught that wolves were confident and fierce, so seeing Lewis act so shy was definitely a new and somewhat confusing thing to witness.
I just shook my head while trying my hardest not to let tears spill down my cheeks at the pain in my body, and the thought of being even more grotesque than I already was. If I ever do manage to get away from the sadistic king, no one is ever going to want to be with my sorry beaten ass.
“Dylan, I know your in pain, but stay strong for me, what Josh did was completely out of order. Even his father agrees that he should not have taken it so far.” I just lay on my stomach thinking about my misery. My head reeling with possibilities that what I was feeling was the very thing that could permanently break me, but
could I let it?
I mean surly the king can’t do much to me now while I try to heal. So maybe the process of healing my back will help me pull myself out of the hell I’ve found myself in. Would the days I spent healing be enough time for me to glue my cracks up yet again? If I let myself be ground into dust, then I’ll never know.
“Please, don’t give up on me now. Not after yesterday. Don’t lose your spirit.” The beta ran his thumb over my forehead slightly, his touch was barely even there, as he moved to stroke my hair back. I was majorly confused now. Shouldn’t the royal beta be trying to get me to accept the alpha king?
“Please Dylan…” I sniffed, I wasn’t going to give in, I was just in so much pain. Maybe I could have something, just to take the edge off.
“Can I… have something for the pain?” I managed to breathe out in between whimpers. The agony my back and arms were radiating was causing my mind to flip, maybe I should just accept the king, then again who is to say that he won’t hurt me, even though we’re mated. Also, if I did give my consent then I would be completely trapped, I’d literally never get away, and I don’t know enough about the bond, I might not want to get away, at least at the moment I still have my own mind.
“Of course, we’ll call for the doctor.” A sigh raked through him as he quickly pressed the red button on the bed. Then grabbed my hand gently, and began to stroke my knuckle. “Yesterday was completely out of order. The king has been urged by his counsel to make a formal statement later today about going too far.”
Lewist
“I’m seriously damaged, I tried again to lift myself an inch of the bed but failed completely, I ended up causing more torment to flood my body. “I’m never going to get away from him.” My situation was becoming bleaker the more I thought about it. I’ve tried fighting, maybe I should just roll over and accept my fate. “I’m going to die here.”
My away as I could, but it was also trying to tell me to be smart. There was
I was telling me to run, as far no way I could take much more.
I had to get away, I had to disappear….

to bad, her mind is kind of weak when it comes to self preservation.
