Chosen By The Moon

Chapter 60

Dylan POV

| lay there for stime, staring at the wall while occasionally moving my head to face the other side giving my

neck smuch needed rest bite. | watched the moon go down and the sun begin it’s ascent in the sky, and

slowly cto the realisation that no one was coming in before dawn.

Hours genuinely went by, and they were the best few hours of my there, yes | was in pain, but | was

completely alone, that in itself mademore at ease. Eventually the door to the room opened up and | heard

footsteps approach my bed. On instinct | tensed up but quickly cased as Lewis's voice shot through the room.

“Are you

awake!? My head turned to his direction and | frowned before nodding slowly. I'd been lying there for hours and

since it was Lewis | couldn’t see any harm in finally asking for a drink.

“Please... can | have swater?” | couldn't help but brace myself for the impact of a fist or even a foot, but

instead | watched his face morph into one of guilt, it was a shock to say the lea?

“Shit, of course. Just givea second.” | didn’t have tto even acknowledge what he had said before he high

tailed it out of the room. | stayed still, once again staring out the window at the painless, free birds that fly

around. “Here!” Huh... | didn’t even hear him cback in.

| lifted my head up and cface to face with a large plastic cup full of the clear liquid | so desperately desired.

There was condensation building up on the transparent cup that just screamed cold. It was like looking at pure

bliss. | pushed my weak body up with my noodle arms and winced loudly at the pain it caused my back and

forearms. | shook my head and scrunched my eyes up, completely unable to move. I'd received lashings before,

but this was a whole new level, | had no doubt that there wasn’t a single patch of skin on my

back that wasn’t mutilated now.

“Hang on...” the beta placed the plastic cup on a little side table before running out of the room again, while |

just lay there. Pain radiated from every inch of my body, and honestly | wasn't even sure I'd ever physically heal

properly. | know sof the nerves in my back were shot. The door opened again quickly before the water was

picked up and a straw was placed inside before being held up to my chapped lips. | didn’t hesitate to wrap my

mouth around the straw and allow myself a small moment of gratification.

The instant satisfaction that cfrom the water brought tears to my eyes. It soothed my scratchy throat and

hydratedmore than | thought it would. | must have been bad if | was feeling so energised after having a

simple drink of water.

“How are you feeling?” What a stupid question, he was always so awkward aroundand honestly, it was a bit

confusing to see, as humans we've been taught that wolves were confident and fierce, so seeing Lewis act so

shy was definitely a new and somewhat confusing thing to witness.

| just shook my head while trying my hardest not to let tears spill down my cheeks at the pain in my body, and

the thought of being even more grotesque than | already was. If | ever do manage to get away from the sadistic

king, no one is ever going to want to be with my sorry beaten ass.

“Dylan, | know your in pain, but stay strong for me, what Josh did was completely out of order. Even his father

agrees that he should not have taken it so far.” | just lay on my stomach thinking about my misery. My head

reeling with possibilities that what | was feeling was the very thing that could permanently break me, but

could I let it?

| mean surly the king can’t do much tonow while | try to heal. So maybe the process of healing my back will

helppull myself out of the hell I've found myself in. Would the days | spent healing be enough tforto

glue my cracks up yet again? If | let myself be ground into dust, then I'll never know.

“Please, don’t give up onnow. Not after yesterday. Don’t lose your spirit.” The beta ran his thumb over my

forehead slightly, his touch was barely even there, as he moved to stroke my hair back. | was majorly confused

now. Shouldn't the royal beta be trying to getto accept the alpha king?

“Please Dylan...” | sniffed, | wasn’t going to give in, | was just in so much pain. Maybe I could have something,

just to take the edge off.

“Can I... have something for the pain?” | managed to breathe out in between whimpers. The agony my back and

arms were radiating was causing my mind to flip, maybe | should just accept the king, then again who is to say

that he won't hurt me, even though we're mated. Also, if | did give my consent then | would be completely

trapped, I'd literally never get away, and | don’t know enough about the bond, I might not want to get away, at

least at the moment | still have my own mind.

“Of course, we'll call for the doctor.” A sigh raked through him as he quickly pressed the red button on the bed.

Then grabbed my hand gently, and began to stroke my knuckle. “Yesterday was completely out of order. The

king has been urged by his counsel to make a formal statement later today about going too far.”

Lewist

“I'm seriously damaged, | tried again to lift myself an inch of the bed but failed completely, | ended up causing

more torment to flood my body. “I'm never going to get away from him.” My situation was becoming bleaker the

more | thought about it. I've tried fighting, maybe I should just roll over and accept my fate. “I'm going to die

here.”

My away as | could, but it was also trying to tellto be smart. There was
