around to see why she had left my quivering form. | didn’t dare.
“You are both excused.” | heard the betas voice float through the room and the sound of my bedroom door
closing met my ears, | remained on the floor. A pair of leather shoes made their way into my peripheral vision,
before | felt a hand on each of my shoulders. “Deep breaths for me, Dylan.”
His voice was soft, and kind, but my body still trembled. The room | was in was growing smaller and smaller by
the second and | was definitely beginning to feel light headed.
“Please.” My face was grabbed suddenly and | cface to face with the beta, his eyes were heavy and he
looked tired for sreason. He was also sporting a rather intense bruise on his right cheek bone which made

took a long shaky breath in, and another one out. God knows how bad my breath actually was, but the beta
made no reaction whatsoever.
“That's it, Dylan. Everything is fine.” Nothing was fine but | felt a little bit better while the beta helped me
regulate my breathing. He kept one hand on my cheek and tucked my dirty hair behind my ear. Eventually slowly
but surely my breathing beca bit more stable and | was able to respond.
“It’s not fine!” | managed to whisper out while still taking deep breaths. Now, | hadn't actually seen Lewis in the

I'd been reduced to.
“What has he done to you?!” His words cout as a whisper, as he moved back to take my entire form in..

“It’s been a very difficult few weeks.” | wheezed out as | finally got my breath completely regulated. “You

“I know your situation isn’t ideal, but taking your own life?! That's something you can’t cback from.” Well,
duh, that’s kind of why | attempted it.

want to die, but | cant live like this! | just can't.”
“You are his mate, he would never kill you. He'd end up in despair himself.” Sure that’s the legend, if a lycans.

“He’s torturingthough!” My answer made him stop, he looked atwith eyes full of guilt. “If you ever find
your mate, would you treat her the way he treats me?” | knew his answer would be no, Lewis was a kind soul,
werewolf or not there’s no disputing that.
“I...” he paused as if he was about to say something, his eyes swimming with unkept emotion, he cut himself off
though and instead changed the subject completely. “You should wash up. The water in the bath should help you
relax slightly. It'll make you feel better to be clean as well,”
| just nodded unable to find the words to argue. | did need to wash, but I already knew the first thing | would do
was brush my teeth. | hadn't brushed them in so long, a thick dirty coating rested on every single tooth which |
could feel when | ran my tongue over them.
| slowly made my way to the bathroom, my bare feet slapping on the floor as | awkwardly shuffled a long. | went
straight to the large marble sink and before anything else, | threw my head under the facet, gulping the water
down my throat, | hadn't actually realized how thirsty | was. | then grabbed a unopened toothbrush from
underneath. | smeared toothpaste on it and began to roughly brush the thick layer of dirt off of every tooth. It
had been so long since | felt the minty freshness on my mouth and it stung my skin slightly, my gums bled from
lack of care and my tongue burnt. | quickly used smouthwash to make sure | definitely didn’t have bad
breath, then | used sdental floss for extra cleansing.
Once | was finished | stared at my reflection, embarrassed by what I'd become. | could feel the anger building up
inside me, | felt my hands clench into fists. A small tear trickled down my face before | growled, | took a deep
breath and quickly wiped it away, then turned towards the large tub in the center of the room..
It did look very inviting. | quickly made my way to the door of the bathroom and locked it. Then went to the kings
entrance and locked that, making sure | wasn't going to be disturbed. Once all the doors were locked |
undressed!
The dirty potato sack thing | had been wearing, hit the floor and my even skinnier than before figure, was on
show. My hip bones were protruding out and my collarbone was more prominent, both sets of ribs could be
clearly seen and my spine was almost skeleton like. Along with my skinny figure, little and large, purple and blue
bruises littered my body and small cuts were scattered around my skin, dirt covered my every inch and my hair
was matted and dull. A bath would actually be perfect.
