Chapter 93
Dylan POV
It had been almost 2 weeks since Oliver was given the title of Beta, and Warren the title of Gamma, They were currently busy with preparations for the district tour to continue for the 5 year celebrations of the new world. I had no idea what was going to happen to me while the king went and participated in it, but one thing was certain though, and that was how stressed up everyone was about it.
Everything where I was concerned was completely up in the air. For one I was being completely and genuinely starved, I was given the bare minimum to eat, and by that I mean I was given just enough food to stop me from dying of starvation, I was however allowed water so I wasn’t dehydrated.

My guess is that the king finally realized that physical cohesion wasn’t ever going to work on me, and so he decided to try a different tactic, he’s stated many days this week that if I wanted food, all I had to do was accept him as my mate, and he would give me whatever I desired. I still refused, even more so now that I had developed some feelings towards the old beta, my mind kept jumping back to him. I couldn’t help it, him and his form clouded me so often. I missed him, I really missed the man, I didn’t feel as safe as I did when he was here. Don’t get me wrong, I never felt safe, but at least with Lewis I knew there would be someone to somewhat look after me once something had happened. Lewis always made sure I was aided when I needed it.
For the last two v weeks I had been kept in the kings bedroom, locked away in constant isolation from everyone, I hadn’t seen or spoken to a single person except his grace since the announcement, and I was suffering for it. Honestly, I spent most of my time in bed, bored out of mind, with nothing to do but to stare at the walls around me.
I admit, There were a few books for me to read, one of which was the journal of the previous ruler. I still wasn’t even half was through it. To be honest, lately it was a real struggle for me to do anything really. I couldn’t be assed showering, as I wanted to repel King Josh as much as possible. My hair hadn’t been brushed in a couple of days now, and in general, my want and need to self rejuvenate was at an all time low. I couldn’t be bothered doing anything at all as I lay on the bed on top of the sheets staring up at the ceiling.
I’m honestly not sure what I preferred, being tortured on the daily was taxing, but the pain was a strong reminder that I was in fact, still alive. Now that I was in complete isolation I was being driven out of my own mind. I didn’t realize how much I actually needed human interaction. Of course as soon as his grace returns I’m the same rebellious girl I’ve always been, but while he’s gone, I’m so bored it’s almost haunting.
How the fuck Carlos managed to survive for so long in isolation was beyond me.
Another day past by, and night was making its way into the sky, I watched the sun go down slowly from my vertical position and watched the moon replace it, taking away the light and leaving the sky gloomy and dark in the suns wake.
I sighed, as I looked out at the nights full moon, I could see it, clear as day through the window. I heard the sound of laughter from outside and shut my eyes tight in sorrow. I couldn’t remember when I last laughed, perhaps it was at something Nick had said, or at something Freddie had done, I do know I hadn’t done at all since being forced to live here. I fought back my tears but quickly shook my head and began relishing in the sound after not hearing it for so long, the laughter soon turned into playful growls and howls, the palace was usually filled with noises like this on a full moon. It was the staff and workers, that were able to let their other forms out without a care in the world.
At least one good thing came out of tonight being a full moon. It meant his grace would be back late. Of course, it never mattered how long he would leave me for, because I was always anticipating his return. He managed to ruin any form of optimism I ever had, and so I decided to just not get my hopes up enough for him to trample on them.
It was a few hours later when he finally did make his appearance. He was already shirtless by the time he entered the room, probably opting to not dress fully again after his shift. He took one look at my now sat form and smiled walking over to place a disgusting kiss on my forehead, to which I sharply recoiled.
“How much longer are you going to deny me what is mine?” He asked as he flicked his shoes off and began to undo the button of his pants.
“Whether you accept me or don’t, you are mine you know, and you do have one specific job as queen that needs fulfilling.”
I scoffed as I looked at him, his torso was gleaming with sweat, as he slipped out of his pants leaving him in just his silk boxer shorts.
“If I haven’t got pregnant yet, after all the crap you’ve pulled, then maybe I’m not the problem.” I snapped causing him to quickly clench his fist in anger. Yes, I may be depressed and lonely during the day but as soon as I see his smug, arrogant face my depression turns to Instant anger and I make damn well sure he knows it.
“No, the problem is that we aren’t mated as of yet. It is virtually impossible to conceive a child without the full mate bond.” King Josh ground out through his clenched teeth as he stared at my form.
“And yet, Lady Lorellia currently is, they are not mated.” 1 was smug, I’d mentioned this a few times, I know for a fact he was jealous of her he wanted

an heir for himself, so his family could always stay in power.
“They aren’t mated yet, but I feel he will bend soon enough. The same can be said for you. All your protesting is in vain, you’ll accept me soon enough.” I shook my head at his delusional thought process as he quickly climbed into bed, and instantly scooped my up so that he was cuddling me. He hadn’t raped me since Lewis left though, and I couldn’t help wonder why, not that I wanted him to, I’d take an uncomfortable cuddle any day over what the king did last time, still it was very curious.
“I’ll never accept you.” He chuckled down my ear before tightening his grip on my curled up body.
“We shall see… oh, you should know were setting off for your district, in two days time. So you should rest up and get plenty of sleep. We won’t be returning to the palace for a few months,”
Wait what?
