Chapter 66

“No, you’re not just helping her anymore, your getting too close. That’s his mate, Lew. She’s not yours to claim.” The more I witnessed, the more I understood her hatred for my kind, we really did see humans as

objects.

“She’s not anyone’s to claim, she should be allowed to make her own choices.” A small growl crept up from my chest and I knew I had to swallow my anger down, if I shifted in the middle of the hallway, then there really would be severe consequences.

“She’s human, her choices are invalid. What’s important now is Josh becoming as strong as he can, in order to do that he needs his mate, more importantly he needs her marked and mated before providing him an heir. You know that.” I always knew the humans were treated differently, but I’ve honestly been living in a bubble within the palace for too long. I hadn’t noticed at all just how bad they were regarded, in actuality it may have even gotten worse over the past few months.

“Do you know what he’s done to her since he found her?” Oliver sighed and stared at me, his eyes were stern as he held my gaze.

“She’s his to do as he pleases, I’m sorry you disagree, but that’s just the way things are. Look, he’s leaving you alone with her so I suggest you keep as much distance as possible, or it’ll be you experiencing the next punishment. Your ideals are starting to become rebellious, you’ve already taken a few punches from Josh over her treatment, don’t make it worse.” He turned his back and began to walk back the way he came. “Josh is waiting to give you some instructions, don’t throw your friendship away for some silly fragile human.”

Was I really becoming rebellious? I was only trying to protect Dylan, but maybe I have been taking things a little too far. I’ve always seen humans as equals, but maybe that ideal is wrong, we are a stronger species after

all.

But then if we are stronger then, we should be using that to protect them, after all wolves wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the humans who called upon the moon goddess for change. I wonder if she has some sort of distant relation to the first ever lycan? She’s strong enough.

She’s the only human I have ever met that has been through so much and still hasn’t given into our ways, hasn’t lost sight of a better world.

I suppose it didn’t matter though, Oliver was right, she was Josh’s mate, the soon to be queen, she wasn’t mine nor would she ever be.

I quickly followed Oliver into the kings office and found him sat behind his desk, looking over some documents. His uniform was regal which meant it really was official business he had to attend too.

and

“Lewis!” His voice was commanding straight away and it put my body on edge. “The rebels in Australia have gotten out of hand and need to be dealt with immediately. I’m currently unsure as to how long I will be gone, I have tasked my mother with educating Dylan in the ways of nobility so I imagine she will be rather busy in the upcoming weeks. Your job is to keep her in line, I entrust you to discipline and educate my queen as and when needed. I give you permission to use force when required, and you have full access to the dungeons. Any issues you are to report to me immediately, I am very apprehensive about leaving her here alone. Do you understand me?!”

“Yes, your grace.” Thank the goddess, maybe she’ll get a bit of rest bite while the king is away. I’m not going to lay a finger on her while I’m watching over her, the same can’t be said about the queen though.

“Go, you should be with her. Make sure she gets up soon, she can’t be lazy for much longer. The people need to know she’s ok, or the number of traitors in the west will only increase.”

One thing was definitely certain, the kings treatment of Dylan, was without a doubt fueling the already. growing rebellion, and it was only going to get worse!
