Chapter 26 We walked down every single flight of stairs before coming to the entrance of the castle. The second the big doors opened and I walked out my face was bombarded with flashes of light and cheers. The king was already stood in front of the palace as I stepped out, he held his hand out and took hold of my wrist pullingto his side, his arm snaked around my waist and he heldthere as he addressed the obscenely large crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcto our grand palace, it's a pleasure to be in front of you all today." There was a screen in front of him showing what he had to say, it was slowly scrolling up as read his lines. “As you all know, the reason you are here is so that I have the privilege of announcing the discovery of my mate and your queen." Cheers and applause could be heard from miles away as flashes of cameras went off every 2 seconds. The whole thing was very overwhelming. "I would like to introduce my beautiful mate, Queen Dylan Louise Cathrine Riley." He heldslightly tighter as he showedoff to the massive crowed, my head whipped around slightly as I tried to not let all this get to 1. me.

The tele prompter suddenly my nand a new string of words con screen. "Read it!" The king demanded in my ear before I felt claws embed themselves into my side. I groaned and my face definitely showed pain, not that anybody cared of course.
I took a breath, and swallowed thickly before beginning to read in a monotone bored voice.
“It's a pleasure to be here in front of you all today." You could tell by my face and tone of voice that definitely wasn't the case. "From a young age every little girl dreams of being a princess, now I get to live that fantasy.
When my school informed us the king was visiting I was so excited, we all hoped that we would be the Kings..." I trailed off as I read what I was supposed to say, but I couldn't bring myself to say it, the words simply wouldn't leave my mouth. I felt the claws that were in my hip sink lower and I winced but still I was frozen. I didn't want to be the Kings mate. I never wanted that. Why would I say it now.
*I think my queen is a little camera shy, after all, it must be daunting knowing the entire world is watching." He chuckled causing everyone of the visitors to chuckle too. The world! My mom was watching this? Freddie was watching this. "Why don't we take squestions?" He announced causing a wave of reporters to swarm the front steps.
"Why isn't queen Dylan marked yet?!" "Is it true you had to force her to cto the castle?" "What are your views on the rebellion in the west?" "Has the Queen met the dowager king and queen yet?" "What was it like when you first met each other?" "Has Queen Dylan seen your wolf form yet, your grace." The king pulled his claws from shy flesh and began answering every question quickly and professionally, while I stood gaping like a fish.
Chapter 26 "Your grace. Your grace!" I turned to see a man with yellow eyes trying to get my attention. The king gavea little nudge tellingto answer him so I nodded, every camera seem to stop and becdirected atthe second I silently agreed to answer. "Were you ever disciplined by the wolf district in your area?" "Yes, frequently." I replied honestly which seemed to raise more questions. The king did not look too pleased.

"Is it true you stated on many occasions that you would rather die of than be mated to one our kind?" How do they even know all this? My eyes widened at this but before I could answer, the king cutoff.
"That's enough questions..." The Kings hand wrapped around my wrist before turning back to the cameras "when we are mated officially, a statement will be given." He began draggingback insidev.e mumbling to himself as the cameras continued to click and flash. The second we got inside and the doors closed again I was thrown to the floor, my hands scraped on the stone as I knelt. "Well that could have gone worse." I sighed thinking he was going to be annoyed for sreason. I finally brought my hand up and placed it on my side, the area felt wet and when I looked at my hand once more, it had a layer of red d on it. "I shouldn't have hurt you, but sometimes you do force my hand.
Don't you?!" He saunted over toontomy and chuckled, pullingeet, before lacing my hand in his.
