Dylan POV
| let out the breath I didn’t even know | was holding and looked at the head of the school waiting for his order
while his gaze met mine, | frowned at him and continued to wait.
“You need to dismiss us, your grace! | turned my attention to Adrian who had step forward slightly and spoken.
Did he say | needed to dismiss everyone. As in me?!
“I do?! What do you mean?” The principal looked atand chuckled slightly before answering my question.
“You are the highest rank present. | was? But the king didn’t even seeas his mate or as queen. | was the
lowest of the low.
“I'm a prisoner! I'm not exactly seen as queen.” | sighed as | looked down the hallway at the hundreds of eyes
staring at me. “Just get to class!” | stated before walking away only to stop in my tracks. | didn’t actually know
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhat class the humans my age had. “Which class is everyone in today?”
A chuckle hit my cars and | turned towards the source. Nick stood looking atno pity in his eyes at all but
relief washed over his face as he looked at
1. me.
“I should have known you'd be fine!” Fine? Was he seeing things that weren't there? | wasn’t fine. Far from it. |
was tired from the extrlack of sleep I'd had, | was on the borders of starvation which you could clearly see, |
could barely lift a chair never mind anything else and | was on the verge of hyperventilating every two minutes
out of panic, but | don’t like making people worry.
“Yeah, I'm tougher than | look.” | shrugged and let out a joyless chuckle. | didn’t want to talk about my
experiences while living in the palace, so | scratched the back of my head and asked the question that was the
most prominent on my mind
“My mom.., is the..?” He just nodded his head as we conversed in the hallway, maybe | should wait
t until we were
in class.
“She's fine, Freddie's fine, they've actually both been living with my dad, ya know, since you... left” That means
they've had each other to lean on, and Freddie has had an extra pair of hands to look after him.
“That's good... your dad has always been good to us, I'm really grateful.”
| stated | could hear my own voice break slightly and | took a deep breath so | could fight back the tears that
were seriously threatening to spill. | needed to change the subject, and | needed to fast or I'd break down. “So,
you're engaged?”
“Oh, erm, yeah | am. Arya, she’s actually really great. We've both learnt a lot from each other.” His smile said
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeverything, he was infatuated by her.
“You're in love with her!” | smiled as | watched his face showabsolutely nothing to dispute my statement. He
was in love with the girl, any fool could see it.
“Yeah, | guess | am. | wish you could cto the wedding. He smiled sadly and I realised he had actually missed
me. | chuckled hollowly and broke the awkwardness by walking up to him and throwing my arm around his
shoulders.
“T be there in spirit. Silently giving you hell for the awful suit you end up choosing. He laughed and began to
follow the hundreds of students to class.
“I'd expect nothing less. He sighed and nudgedwith his elbow, it actually hurt a little bit due to my body
being so weakened but | just chuckled quietly at him. “We have mrs Mathews by the way.”
Well, that’s just great. Why couldn't we have Mr Foley? Why did it have to be the lycan worshiper. Somehow |
feel like king josh had planned this.
| made my frustrations known in the form of a sigh but nodded my head all the same. There was no changing the
fact that | was about to be completely Inundated with questions regarding his grace.
