Chapter 129
Nicks POV
“What the hell are you doing with a cell?” My voice cout loud and necusing, which made Dylan completely
cringe in fear, | hated seeing how scared she was, it was so unlike her..
“Please, don’t say anything... Please, Just destroy it, or get rid of it somehow. Please I'm begging you,” More and
more tears dropped from her eyes as she looked at me. | shook my head and quickly placed the old phone in my
pocket and held my hands out to give her a hug, only she cowered away from me. “Don’t... Don’t touch me. He'll
know.”
She really was a far cry from the girl who left, kicking and screaming as she was dragged away, | never thought
I'd see the day she would give up.
“Ok, ok... I won't touch you, but please, don’t let the king win Dylan.” | could see it in his graces eyes this

| just didn’t expect he'd ever actually get it. “You, you need to fight him.”
She shook her head rapidly, and took a step back away from me. Her entire body trembled as she glanced over
my shoulder at her old bedroom door, making sure she wasn’t being listened too, then her sight zoomed back at
me.
“There is no fighting him, Nick. There’s no winning against him. L... | can’t loose anyone else, and | cant take any
more pain...” her voice was so quiet that even | felt the desperation she did, we really had to get her out of here,
we had to get her away from him. “I just can’t.”
“I know...” | couldn't take it anymore, and so despite knowing the consequences if | was caught, | walked up to
her and scooped her into my arms, we had done much more that hug in the past, but Dylan tensed so much that
| was scared at just how petrified of king Josh she was. “Dylan, please, just talk to me... I'm here... I'm here for
you and | always will be
Her head shook and she cried still almost inaudibly but much much harder than before. She pushed my body
away from her and roughly wiped her eyes on the back of her wrist, before looking around her room.
“You are not here for me, Nick. You are at the pack house, or at school, or somewhere the lycans reside, and you
are there with the alphas daughter” Why on earth was she whispering? It was difficult to make her words out as
she spoke through her tears and sniffles, but her voice was so quiet that | seriously had to strain myself just to
make out what she was saying exactly. “I love you, | do, but | am an afterthought in your mind, your family and
your mate will always cfirst, and that’s fine, but you need to realize that your loyalties have changed,
because | can’t keep accepting your worry sometimes and your expectations at other times.” Was | really that
flaky. “I'm trying so hard to be there for you, but it's exhausting when | have so much going on as it is. You want
her face up and winced at her own words. “I really have nothing left.”
It was as if her own words had hit her so hard that she got knocked down, she instantly
ntly fell to her knees in pure sorrow, her hands clutched her chest as she sobbed looking around her old rooms.

I'd most likely give up too. “Please, just go and destroy that. The king can’t find out how rebellious I really was.”
“But you can get through to people, you have a way of...”
“I don’t have a way of doing anything... not anymore. Just go...” | sighed, leaving her to cry in her room. She
