Chapter 98

I watched as he quickly fixed his royal attire and perched his obnoxiously large crown on his head before the driver left to open the door, he hastily opened a large black umbrella for king Josh to use and held it up for his grace to stay under. Instantly the king stepped out and was greeted by the alpha and the rest of the adults in the pack.

“Your grace, it is truly a pleasure to have you back in our district. I heard the alpha state as the driver held his hand out for me to take. God I was shitting myself.

I shakily let my hand take hold of the driver and stood on my weak legs, they wobbled under my weight after being sat for practically an entire day and naturally still getting used to walking again, i slowly climbed out of the limo and was instantly engulfed in the overhead down pour. It didn’t take long for my body to be absolutely soaked. I guess an umbrella for me was out of the question.

-Your

grace.” The alpha addressed me and bowed his head slightly while underneath his own umbrella, in fact they all had one sheltering them. My own head darted round trying to take in my old district. I did have to swallow down my humiliation at some of the looks I was met with though.

I felt a hard punch on my arm at my lack of response to the alpha and so I quickly bowed my head to him, water dripped off my hair and joined the rain dancing on the floor.

“You needn’t be so formal with her Alpha, she doesn’t yet bear the royal mark.” The king really was such a brute. My teeth began to chatter slightly and cold swept through me, I was definitely going to get sick if I was going to be stuck like this all day. “Shall we head to the high school?”

“Are you not going to at least give the girl a coat… she’s human she could get really ill.” The king glared at the lunas words but turned his attention to

me all the same.

*Would you like my jacket, my queen?” No I would not, why would I wear anything to do with him, besides I suppose I’m already soaked wet through.

“What’s the point? I’m already soaked! Instantly a back hand to the face shut me right up as my head shot to the side and the familiar stinging sensation set in. My skin so used to being hit that it doesn’t even bruise any more unless excessive force is used. I’m sure a large red mark was forming though from the initial impact.

“And you will remain that way.” With that he walked away with the alpha and Luna in tow, I sighed and tilted my head up slightly giving myself a very Bleeting moment of peace as the rain poured down onto my features. In some way it made me feel alive to stand in the rain again.

“Come on…” Oliver was quick to take hold of my upper arm and begin to pull me in the direction the king went. Although I was shocked when I felt the rain no longer hit my head, the gamma, I mean beta, had tilted his umbrella ever so slightly as to keep the rain off me. He was also a lot gentler than 1 ever thought he’d b

Sadness swept over me as the main gates opened to reveal the principal.

He first met my eyes while disbelief clouded his, before darting them to the kings and instantly bowed his head.

“Welcome back your grace, we are thrilled to have you back in our district to continue the celebrations. It truly is an honour for our students to meet you.” I scoffed slightly then recoiled quickly as I knew a slap was about to hit me. I was shocked when it didn’t. The principal held his hand out in a handshake to me and then addressed only me.

“Queen Dylan, welcome back.” I eyed his hand warily before taking it in a firm grip, we shook once while our eyes met, his orbs swam with nothing but guilt before he turned back to his grace.

“Thank you, I apologise for cutting the celebrations short last time, however they will most definitely go as planned. We will be staying for the duration of the fortnight.” The principal nodded along with the alpha of the district, and then gestured us inside.

Beta Oliver gently pulled me to follow them as we walked down the hallway I was dragged down many months ago. Flashbacks of meeting the king shot through my head and my heart rate quickened, my breathing became laboured slightly and my legs froze. My sight was blurring slightly and with it my body swayed. Panic was sweeping through me and I could feel an attack beginning, I was going to crash and burn in front of my old peers. I just knew
