Chapter 172

Dylan POV

“How could you even think that I pity you?” The Beta placed his large hand on my cheek and I subconsciously found myself leaning into it, sniffling as I tried my hardest not to break down on him, as we both remained sat on the lakes edge. His eyes were beautiful as they held my gare, causing a slight blush to take over my cheeks.

“I think you are the strongest, most amazing person I have ever met. I don’t pity you at all… all you will ever get from me is my support, and my respect.” I sat there gaping my mouth at him like a fish out of water. I never in a million. years would have thought he would ever say something like that to me. He looked at me for a split second before

but I finally realized that if I die then that means the king would have won, and I refuse to give him that satisfaction. “I

who fights no matter what comes her way.” Lewis smiled at me again, and brushed a piece of hair out of my face so that his view of my eyes was clear. I pulled away from him quickly, I felt nothing b self conscious now anytime someone looked

and prominent, a constant reminder of the abuse I had felt at the king’s command. I would describe my frame as even less than slender due to my malnourishment which had also given my skin a sickly grey tone to it, and

do, why? Are you thinking about having a dip?” I chuckled at how random he was while I looked at the water
