Chapter 65
POV Lewis.
How the f
fuck could Josh think Dylan was able to travel? It wouldn’t have been that unbelievable if it was just to a surrounding district, but another country entirely? That’s disgusting even for him. I watched Josh take one last look at Dylan, I was on edge ready to intervene again if I needed to, but instead he let out a growl and stormed out of the room.
“Why did you do that for me?” Dylan’s quiet voice hit my ears and my head turned to find her beautiful gaze on me. I sighed, unsure as to why I was feeling my heart skip a beat whenever I looked at her lately.
She was a puzzle to me, her strength alone had me mesmerized from the moment I met her, but that day, the day she attempted to end her life, that was the day I first felt it. A sort of bond, drawing me close to this beautiful girl. Her scent didn’t entice me like a mates would, not in the slightest, but her touch slowly became a feeling I craved, the more I got to know her, the more besotted I became.
“You don’t deserve to be treated like this. No one does.” I hesitantly walked over to her, and placed my hand on her head, just hoping to feel her warmth and to ease my mind that she was ok, I didn’t expect the gesture to heat her cheeks up as her eyes met mine. “Get some rest, Dylan, you need it.”
Anyone with eyes could see hers closing slowly as she continued to try and hold my gaze. She smiled gently and a sigh left her lips.
“Thank you…” Her whisper was quiet yet completely sincere. I was honestly just trying to protect her at first, but now just her smile alone was enough to make me never want to leave her side. Seeing her in such a state of contentment, from just my hand alone, especially after feeling so much pain wasn’t something I was expecting, but it was nice to see.
All her bodily and facial reactions gave me some encouragement to take things a little bit further.
My hand slowly began to stroke her hair, and I pulled a chair over to where she lay. Before sitting down though, I placed a small peck of a kiss against her forehead causing yet another contented sigh to leave her. I hadn’t thought much about the action much but I did shock myself with how affectionate i was being. Her eyes slowly closed, and stayed that way before her breathing very quickly evened out as she fell asleep, all the while my hand never stopped it’s motion.
I gazed at her sleeping form and a sympathetic smile crossed my features, as I watched her have one of the only peaceful moments she’s had since arriving.
I spent some time just sitting with her, while Josh prepared for his trip, I couldn’t leave her alone, especially not after everything that had happened. How she managed to stay as strong as she is, is beyond me, even I couldn’t contain my horror at the sight of her injuries, I can only imagine how she must have felt. After an hour or so I knew if I stayed any longer with his mate, Josh was going to go ballistic so I left her with my uncle, I knew I probably should go off and help him make his preparations for his excursion. While I was walking towards Josh’s office, I was however stopped by a loud familiar voice booming through the hallways.
“Do you have a death wish or something?” My head shot round to find Oliver walking up towards me, he looked nonchalant as always but there was a slight appearance of frustration.

“What do you mean?!” Of course I knew exactly why he asked me, Josh has always been extremely aggressive and unpredictable when it came to getting what he wanted, even more so now when Dylan is involved. So for me to stop him from being with his mate, well let’s just say that even I am surprised there weren’t any worse
repercussions.
“You need to stop meddling when it comes to that girl! I just don’t understand him at all.
“If trying to help her is meddling then I really don’t understand what you expect me to do. I don’t get how you can stand by and witness his treatment of her, she’s right, he really is just torturing her, and you and I both know it.” I was baffled, Dylan was still one of his subjects weather she was human or not.
