Chapter 70
Was | truly that damaged that my lungs couldn’t cope with any mention of the king? | shouldn't be crumpling
from the inside out so easily at just the mere thought of what King Josh could do to me. | shouldn't be this
terrified of a tyrant, hell bent on destroying the world as we knew it.
“Dylan!?” The beta was once again quick to cto my aid, his hands either side of my head, one on each
cheek as he forcedto look his way. “He’s not here, you're safe, you're safe.” | shook my head again and
continued to fight my body for breath.
*'m... I'm... not... safe.” | was getting dizzy, my head becoming so oxygen deprived that my eyes were
beginning to droop.
“You're safe with me, | will never hurt you. Dylan, you need to breathe!” | strangely knew he'd never hurt me,
and | did for sreason feel safe with him. He was a Lycan, and a royal at that, | shouldn't feel anything but
distain for him, but | can’t help it when my heart slightly jumps in my chest at the sight of him, or how a small

“Don’t you ever apologize, do you need the doctor? | can go and...” | shook my head and took hold of his wrists,
gently peeling his large hands from my cheeks, and intertwining my own fingers with his.
“Just, givea second.” | gave his hand a small squeeze before attempting to pull away, only for him to stop
me. | frowned, still trying to regulate my breathing slightly as | looked up at him.
His wide eyes were fixed on our conjoined hands, he was completely unmoving as he stared. Had | done
something wrong? Shit, was he going to punish me?
“I'm sorry, I'm sorry... | shouldn't have grabbed...” he stopped my terrified rambling by taking the smallest of
steps forward towards my cowering body. His eyes gravitated from our hands to my eye and frowned deeply at
“Do you feel that?” He whispered, still frowning at my form. His words caused confusion to then cloud me, feel
what exactly? | could obviously feel his grip on me, but | wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what he meant.
He cleared his throat slightly, and shook his head before finally releasing my hand from his tight grasp. He took a
large step back and then shook his head once again.
“Lewis?” He looked atlike | was the plague. Like he detested the very sight of mw, all of a sudden. Was it
