Chosen By The Moon

Chapter 45

Dylan POV

My breathing was erratic and my head was becoming fuzzy from the lack of oxygen I was getting. I don’t know how long had passed but I felt the girls hand that was on my back leave. I remained on the floor, I didn’t turn around to see why she had left my quivering form. I didn’t dare.

“You are both excused.” I heard the betas voice float through the room and the sound of my bedroom door closing met my ears, I remained on the floor. A pair of leather shoes made their way into my peripheral vision, before I felt a hand on each of my shoulders. “Deep breaths for me, Dylan.”

His voice was soft, and kind, but my body still trembled. The room I was in was growing smaller and smaller by the second and I was definitely beginning to feel light headed.

“Please.” My face was grabbed suddenly and I came face to face with the beta, his eyes were heavy and he looked tired for some reason. He was also sporting a rather intense bruise on his right cheek bone which made me curious as to how he got it. “Look at me… deep breaths.” He breathed in slowly before breathing out, showing me how to do it. For some reason he made me feel at ease. And so, while looking him right in the eye I took a long shaky breath in, and another one out. God knows how bad my breath actually was, but the beta

made no reaction whatsoever.

“That’s it, Dylan. Everything is fine.” Nothing was fine but I felt a little bit better while the beta helped me regulate my breathing. He kept one hand on my cheek and tucked my dirty hair behind my ear. Eventually slowly but surely my breathing became a bit more stable and I was able to respond.

“It’s not fine!” I managed to whisper out while still taking deep breaths. Now, I hadn’t actually seen Lewis in the time I’d been down in the dungeon. So when he finally looked at me he looked shocked at what I’d become, what I’d been reduced to.

Along with my skinny figure, little and large, purple and blue bruises littered my body and small cuts were scattered around my skin, dirt covered my every inch and my hair was matted and dull.
