Chapter 79

Lewis POV

I watched from the back of the room as she danced with the mate of Lorellia. The queen had now been tasked with teaching not just the mate of the king but both Dylan and Carlos in the ways of being a royal, however my eyes were solely focused on Dylan. She was definitely getting better at dancing, and the more her confidence increased, the more beautiful she became, not that it was actually possible for her to get any prettier. I’d always found her alluring, but now she was almost irresistible.

It had been a day since that Carlos guy had been released from the dungeon and he was already being forced to learn how to dance. I suppose it was a good thing in a way, because now Dylan’s dance partner had about as much experience as she did, and so ability wise they were very well matched.

I had to admit that they were matched in attitude as well. He almost has as much hatred for our kind as Dylan had. Only the goddess knows what the pair of them had been through in the past 5 years of the new world.

However the way that Dylan handled herself was incredible. She remained calm, even when she was the most insulted, and hearing her defend me and my actions towards her yesterday was nice, even though she denied any sort of feelings I had for her.

Carlos had been right though, for some unknown reason, the other day when she grabbed me, my heart skipped a beat, and my cheeks took on a whole new meaning of the famous phrase ‘red as a tomato.‘ Not to mention, I may have actually felt the bond, granted it was faint, but it was there. The little sparks that come from touching your fated mate began to flow through my hand, sending a warm and blissful sensation running through me. I didn’t realize what I had done until it was too late, I had chosen my second chance, subconsciously Dylan had crept through the cracks of my heart and mended the wounds left by Iliana my goddess gifted soulmate. I didn’t even know how it happened, I just knew that she had stolen my soul and in time I prayed she would give me hers.

I didn’t know how to combat this situation. She was my queen, the mate of king Josh and yet I wanted her. I knew she had been through so much, if she found out what I had done and that I had certain feelings for her I can’t imagine she would be very happy, I am of course still a lycan and despite her learning that we really aren’t all the same, she was still very apprehensive around me.

I have noticed that whenever she does anything remotely wrong around me or the queen or anyone really, she tenses up, almost as if she’s bracing herself for pain.

I knew I could never do anything to hurt her, she goes through more than enough pain from the king alone, add on to the mental abuse the queen dishes out and I’m honestly surprised she’s still so strong and functional. The issue is, if she is still tensing every time she missteps around me, then she doesn’t know I’d

never hurt her. She still thinks of me as someone who could torment her.

“That, was the first time you we’re actually decent.” The queen spoke quickly as she walked over to the human pair. “Carlos, I said your back must remain ridged, but your entire body is far too stiff. Your body must glide across the floor with ease, not jolt around like you are made of wood.” She then turned to Dylan and sighed before slapping her cheek hard. I jolted forward ready to intervene but moved forward less than an inch as I quickly remembered I wasn’t at liberty to help her.

That poor girl gets slapped so often by so many people that she didn’t even respond to the stinging sensation

that must have been taking over her offended cheek, instead she just looked at the quee

The next time you look at your feet, I’ll make you wear a posture corrector, injured or not. De you understand? I am sick of telling you!” I watched as Dylan sighed but nodded her head, only to be met with another hard slap. “A good queen answers her superiors with words.

“A good queen doesn’t have superiors to answer to!” She mumbled before her eyes grew. I too cringed knowing that her mouth was going to get her in deep water, not that she was wrong. A queen shouldn’t have to answer to anyone, and I strongly believe Dylan would make an excellent queen.
