Chapter 141
I hadn’t realized how tender and sensitive my skin would be after the last flogging I received, but everything about that one strike erupted in pure
agony
“Turn and face the door!” I shook my head and curled up as ti
I up as tightly as I could go, I was embarrassed, so embarrassed at being this weak in front of Adrian, but I couldn’t put on my facade any longer. I sat sobbing, hugging my knees to my chest as closely as possible, keeping my now slightly bleeding back facing the door I should be leaning against
“Wait…” Adrian stepped forward and looked at me, his eyes almost black themselves. I always forget sometimes that people are higher up wolves then I truly realized. “Could I not do it? I’m to take over as alpha next year after I graduate, and I have never punished a human.”
What was he playing at, he looked serious, his face even looked like a shadow had clouded it. He looked almost cruel, why would he want to inflict pain on me. I’d done nothing to him or his stupid sister.
“Dylan here has received one too many punishments. So now I must force her to see things from our world. It’s not even televised. Granted half of me is glad that it wasn’t, but I figured a while back that the more people that see what my life was like, the more people will begin to at least question the wolves actions.
“Your doing this over something that happened months ago. it didn’t matter what I muttered out through my sobs and whimpers, there was getting through to his grace. Maybe if I tried a different tactic. “Why do you enjoy causing me so much pain?” I heard my voice crack at the end of my sentence and shook my head slowly letting my tears fall, I felt all three heads slowly meet my lowered one and eventually looked at the king, my arm, my back and my face still all slowly trickling with blood from the three cuts the whip gave me.
“Why did I get cursed with a mate like you?” He practically spat at me while he looked at me clearly disgusted by me. “The moon goddess is a cruel benevolent.” He chuckled hollowly before bending down and wiping the cut on my cheek with his thumb, smearing the bit of blood over the rest of the area. His eyes suddenly went all glassy as if he was mind linking someone and his subconscious returned to the room once more.
“You’ll stay in the dungeon until a punishment can be thought through! I assure you though, you will receive a sound lashing.” Before I could cower back or lower my head again, king Josh had grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked it hard, pulling my frail body with it. A cry left me at the pain as he began to drag my topless body through the pack house and down some really dark steps using my hair as a leash.
Once we were down there I sighed, at least I’d be alone. It was damp and musty, but was much warmer than the palace dungeon, in fact, I would go as far as to say it was basically a hotel compared to the palace dungeons
The king wasted no time in throwing me into one of the cells and let my body hit the concrete floor hard, my hands slapped onto the floor painfully, and my knees along with them. I was quickly grabbed again only to notice Warren was stood behind the king, a large set of thick and heavy cuffs in his hands, the ones I’d been wearing when we first arrived here in the limousine.
They were connected to my limbs tightly, then the cell door was slammed shut leaving me still topless and very much alone. I cried to myself for hours, being down there made my mind wander over everything that had happened, over everything I had been through, until I eventually managed to doze

I wasn’t sleep long, when I heard the cell door open, and groaned why could no one just leave me alone? Why must I suffer so god damn much.
“Your grace?” I heard a hushed tone but ignored it, I couldn’t be bothered with anyone at the minute. “Dylan…” rolling my eyes, I awkwardly tumed around on the floor only to come face to face with Adrian and Nick. I couldn’t believe the traitor himself was here.
“Are you ok?” Nick asked while looking at my back, it wasn’t as deep as it could have been. I nodded my head and sighed, I was seeing a very childish side to Nick lately. It was almost as if I was the only one who saw the king for what he is. Everyone else had their heads buried in the sand, consumed by their new life.
“Hurry up, we’ve got a van coming in 20 minutes for you. A van? My

closed eyes met Adrian and woke up instantly when I saw his face.
“Wait… what?!”
