Chapter 18
Dylan POV
“I take it you like it then? The beta asked while chuckling at my reaction. Honestly I didn’t, it’s obvious that it’s beautiful but it’s so bright, and it’s huge. To be honest I hated how small it made me feel.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
I felt the Kings hand return to my back as he led me up stairs. I was shown the hall way, the bathrooms, and the entire first and second floor.
Fact, I am definitely going to get lost in here.
We finally made it to the third floor. By this point I was exhausted, but the tour continued.
“This is the corridor for the former royals.” Beta Lewis told me as we walked through.
"My parents bedchambers are on this floor along with my grandpa." The king informed me as they both led me through a door that took us to a room with sofas and tables. This is the family room. This is where we are able to relax slightly."
We walked right through the family room and into yet another corridor. The entire place screamed wealth and it was making me very very uncomfortable.
"Up those steps is where our bedchamber is. The fourth floor is exclusive for the current king and now, the queen too." He led me up yet another flight of stairs before finally the corridor ended. We were four floors up and I was tired, and immensely out of breath. Wait! Did he say our room?!
"OUR room?!" I kinda asked and exclaimed at the same time. Completely appalled by the notion of sharing a space with him.
"Of course, you didn't think I'd give my queen her own chamber
did you? You will be by my side every moment for the rest of our lives. We may as well start right away, don't you agree?" What the fuck, I hadn't even thought about staying here till I die to be fair. Ugh, what if he thinks we'll get married?!
"Tilsleep on the floor before I share a bed with the likes of you. Your grace." By calling him your grace I am making it clear I still believe he is above me and therefore keep him at a distance. I will never share a bed with him and I'll never enjoy being in his company.
“I wish you wouldn’t hurt me so much with your words.” His eyes suddenly seemed to cloud over, I realized quite quickly that he was mind linking his beta. After a few minutes his eyes opened back to normal, he looked at me and sighed. “I suppose an adjustment period should be put into place. You will have your own bedchamber for the duration of a single month. After this time you will be required to share a space with me without resistance. I believe this to be a reasonable request.” I nodded my head reluctantly in acceptance, hopefully I’ll be long gone from here before then, weather that be escape or death is beside the point.
Mind linking is how the lycanthrope communicate when in wolf form, they can also do it in human form however it's exclusive to wolves. Meaning I will never be able to do it. Now once a wolf has marked and mated a human, they can then communicate with them via said mind link, Nick, who is now mated to alpha Arya will most likely be able to talk to the whole pack as he is indeed technically an alpha now.
"Come, I will show you to our bathroom and then your temporary bedchamber." We walked down the hallway slightly before coming to the bathroom, my jaw dropped open agin while looking at the sheer size of it. In the room there was a single large bath tub, in a small joining room lay a toilet, and in another room stood a shower, The entire bathroom consisted of one large room and multiple little rooms.
"I'm sure you will be quite happy with your living quarters." King Joshua stated while this time taking my hand and leading me back out. I could feel electric speaks shooting through me from the simple touch of his bare skin on mine and I realized this was going to get very annoying very quickly. "My chamber is directly opposite, if I wish to see you or simply touch you then you will be required to walk across, or I may just walk in to your quarters. This way it is convenient.
He pointed to a large set of double doors opposite from where we were standing. Before opening
the doors we were stood at, I hadn't even seen it properly and already I was in awe. The second I walked through the doorway, the wonder I was feeling only grew. The room really was fit for a queen.
"I trust this room is to your liking?" The king asked as a pair of arms wrapped around my waist, his chin rested on my shoulder while I stiffened in his grip. "Relax, we are mates, I am completely in my rights to hug you if I desire." His grip tightened slightly when he thought I would step away, I sighed in frustration at my situation. I stayed completely ridged while he pressed up against my back. I felt his head move ever so slightly and he gently kissed my neck where it meets my shoulder.
