Chapter 90
Dylan POV
A couple of days had already past and I hadn’t seen anyone at all but the guard sent to give me a drink of water. The cell I was in was damp, cold water dropped from the outside onto the stone floor and caused the noise to echo throughout the room. It was haunting. I hadn’t noticed too much the last time I was down there, because I had Carlos, but now, now I had no one, if I didn’t get out soon I would end up going insane.
Like the king had demanded, my wrists were tightly connected to the wall with thick silver cuffs, I couldn’t move my arms at all and so any time I was given water it had to be fed to me. I hadn’t eaten the entire time I’d been down there, and because of it, my stomach felt hollow, and radiated a small cramping pain every time it would rumble. Around my ankles, the same cuffs as my wrists were placed, however they were simply connected to each other by a short, thick, and heavy chain. There was a small bucket placed to the side of me to use as a toilet, I had to awkwardly kick it into place in order to use it. And could only stand on my knees due to the way my arms were bound.
In other words King Josh had seen to it that I was locked up good and tight, escape was impossible unless I did indeed beg for it.
A small cough sounded through the cell and made my throbbing head raise only to meet Oliver. The gammas gaze was complete
on me as
he stood within the doorway. He looked a bit tired, not that I cared much, I was constantly exhausted, so he can just suck it up. I hadn’t stood up or moved position in two days, I slept sat up, my body was numb, my muscles were shot, and I had developed this horrendous cough due to the damp conditions I was living under.
“Lewis didn’t get caught, he’s safe somewhere. The king has found no trace of him,” Huh? Oh my fucking god! He’s safe? I felt my eyes widen slightly at this revelation, Id been thinking about him the entire time.
The king can’t kill me, although I do wish for it some times, but Lewis?
He could kill him in a heartbeat and nobody would bat an eye at it. So the fact that he made it out and was sade was such a relief, at least one of us was ot
“Thank you for letting him go.” I whispered as my numbness slowly crept up my body and had me wincing while I attempted to wriggle my bound wrists.
“I didn’t do it for you, he wouldn’t be in this mess at all if it wasn’t for you.” He was right, I just caused problems everywhere. It was all my fault he’d been dismissed and banished, but King Josh truly did get the wrong idea.
“Nothing happened, I swear it.” 1.hung my throbbing head in hopelessness, no one was ever going to believe me. I was just the pathetic human that was forced to be there.
“If you know, why didn’t you do something? You could have told His grace?” He sighed and quickly began to fit the key into the lock on my wrists restraints. As soon as the lock was open the Gamma pulled the curls away and my arms dropped to the ground like lead. A groan wracked through as pins and needles instantly shot up and down my limbs.
“Have you ever tried reasoning with Josh when he gets mad like that?” He dragged me up onto my feet and my weight instantly crumpled from underneath me. I had NEVER been so weak. “Look, I am sorry, but I am loyal to Josh, you and Lewis might not have done anything physical, but you do love each other, and Josh acted accordingly. He may have taken things a bit too far but given the situation I can understand his actions.” What on earth was he on about? I looked at him in utter bewildernient as he wrapped his arm around my back and took basically all of my weight, before escorting me out of the dungeon.
“What are you on about, we were just friends.” He shook his head and sighed at my words, just as he began to help me up the stairs.
“YOU may have just been friends, but Lewis definitely wasn’t. I think you may be his mate! What?! That wasn’t possible, we were just friends, he was just helping me navigate my situation.
“Is that what king Josh thought?” The gamma nodded his head and opened the door to the main palace. He was quick in helping me to the grand entrance once more. My eyes widened slightly when I saw the envoy of the king stood there, Greta was stood next to a rack of dresses and my handmaidens were stood to the side of her. I swallowed thickly before turning to the king
“What’s going on?” I asked, my voice quieter than I expected, as I looked around. The kings face held a constant grimace as he looked at me, that’s when I made the connection. “Not Another punishment? I haven’t done anything…”
