GoodReadChapter 16 Dylan POV.
The journey was long, and although I was in a limousine I felt completely trapped with all these wolves inside with me. I was seriously exhausted from being drugged earlier and on top of everything else, I had to go to the bathroom.

A handmaiden will be assigned to you to help you dress and bathe, of course all your clothes will be chosen for you, and you will have a guard with you at all times, to ensure your safety of course," The king explained as we continued to drive along a country road, I could tell we were getting closer and closer to the royal palace.
"Or to ensure I don't escape." I mumbled looking out the window at all times. I refuse to look any of these men in the eye, they think that just because they kidnapped me, I'll bend to their every will. No chance.
"That too." The beta chuckled as I stared at the fields that littered the side of the road. I switched off to the men as they spoke toabout what was to happen upon our arrival at the castle. It's funny, most little girls, Lycan or otherwise often dream of becoming princesses. I'm living the ultimate fantasy for any normal girl. However this is more like my nightmare.
"Of course, my mother and father can't wait to meet you. We will be joining them both tomorrow for lunch while we inform you about your new role, before we make the announcement." I didn't let on that the thought of meeting his folks terrified me. I didn't let on that the thought of eating at the stable as the people who took my 12 year old selfs happy, normal life away, disgustedto no ends. Finally I didn't let on that talking to the royal family face to face, didn't makethink of how my father was ripped to shreds defending humanity from these very people.
"I can't wait to show you around the castle, my love. I just know you will love the gardens as much as I do. Perhaps you and I could go for a stroll this evening to get acquainted with each other before I mark you!" Again I didn't even acknowledge that I'd heard him I simply stared out of the window watching my old life zoom away with every mile we traveled.
"I almost forgot... Here the royal beta quickly held out my fathers picture toas I continued to look at the sky. I flicked my eyes towards it before snatching it away from him. I bunched my knees up to my chest and placed my feet on the seat holding the picture tightly to my chest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You look a lot more like your father than your mother." The beta spoke directly to me, I could hear an awkward smile in his voice.
It's true, my features were very much my fathers. I was just like him too. His personality matched my own, as did his spirit and fight. I know he would have done anything in his power to stopfrom being taken, even if it meant he died because of it. Unlike my mother, who practically gave them permission to take me.
Unconsciously I felt my hand close into a fist as I thought about him, and how two wolves tore at his skin while his screams of agony filled the air, the street flooded with my fathers blood while I watched on in horror. I remember 1/2 Chapter 16 running out and throwing the biggest rock I could find at one of the wolves, but that only resulted in the first lashing being given in my district. I was 12 years old.
"I'm sorry to hear about your father, I'm sure he was a good man.” The Betas hand suddenly rested on my knee as he spoke, he was being genuine but I could help but snap.
"He was the best!" My head turned to the Beta as tears began to build in my eyes causing a shocked expression to form on everyone's face. "He was bed in the middle of the street, protecting me. He was massacred for joining my districts rebellion, he was torn to shreds on your kings orders." I aggressively pushed his hand off my knee and turned to the window once more, the entire limo had gone quiet at my revelation.
"If he joined the rebellion then punishment was right to be given. I'm sorry that your taking it sopersonally The king shrugged before pouring himself another drink while I quietly seethed. “Just remember every death helped pave the way for the new world." Chapter Comments 10 X
