Chapter 47
Dylan Pov
I kept on pacing around my room thinking what to do. What was it that I saw? Is it true? No! it can't be.
But Cyreana’s predicted imminent vision can never be wrong.
I sat down on my bed pulling my hair. It's been three days since that incident, where life took a new turn, where once again every dream that I saw that I thought would come true was snatched away from me. But most importantly I felt as if my life was being taken away from me. A part of me was being teared away from me and there was nothing I could do.
Curse all this powers that I have. It's no use to me when I can't keep or save the most important person in my life. Suddenly, I felt suffocated and I coughed patting my chest. There is this uneasiness growing inside me thinking what if Aderyn goes away from.
“No!” I found myself whisper.
“Dylan?” I heard her voice from the outside of my door.
Since three days, I have refused to let anyone into my room neither I myself got out of my room But Aderyn didn't give up on me. She would come and knock on my door asking about me. She would bring me food which she would take back when I refused to open the door. At one point she even pleaded me to open the door but I didn't.
It hurts me to hurt her but what can I do? I don’t want to face her. I knew I was being a coward and selfish only thinking about my pain what can I do?
I was suppose to protect her and save her but...
“Dylan open the door” she pleaded. I could hear the urgency in her voice.
“Dylan!” she knocked harder.
“Are you hurt?” I heard her soft voice.
“Dylan are listening to me?” she asked and paused for a while. From my werewolf hearing ability I heard her taking sharp intakes. She was crying.
It pained me to know that I was the reason for her condition.
“Is her life is in danger because of me?” I thought feeling guilty.
“Dylan I know everything” she hiccuped “Cyreana told me everything what you saw” she said and I heard her heart beating wildly.
“Cyreana!” I cursed.
Damn! That woman can never lie. She probably gave up to her Queen.
“But Dylan you can never stop what's meant to happen right? Perhaps it's my fate. Dylan you can not give up on your present just by thinking about tomorrow right? Please let me in Dylan. Are you listening to me? Future is unpredictable. You can't just do it to yourself. Think about your people. They need you. They need their King to be strong” she whispered.
"And about me? Can't you see that I need you to survive? Without you I'm incomplete” I cried to myself.
“Dylan please remain strong. This will pass and I know that everything will be back to normal. Please let me in!” she cried banging on the door.
When I didn't respond she went away after a while but I knew she was hurt.
I sighed and went inside my attached bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror to find a broken man standing. His eyes were bloodshot red, he looked like a mess with his disarranged hair. I splashed water water few times on my face before standing and glancing at myself in the mirror.
I took my clothes off and took a shower to ease my tensed muscle. As soon as the water hit my body I felt relax.
“I don't like hearing her cry” my wolf spoke for the first time. It was that he wasn't oblivious to the fact that was going on. He too was agitated and was confused. For the first time in my life, I felt him scared. He was scared thinking about loosing his mate.
“Me neither" I told him.
“I don't believe Cyreana’s vision” he said and growled remembering what he saw.
“I don't know what to do” I said as I faced upwards and let the water hit my face.
"What Aderyn told you beforehand is true though” I snapped my eyes open upon hearing him. “Future is unpredictable” he said making me have second thoughts on Cyreana’s imminent vision. “We are talking about Cyreana here” I replied and heard him scoffing at me.
“I don't trust any witch's prediction. I trust upon me and my powers. If I want I can destroy everyone out there to keep my mate safe but I don't think Aderyn would like that and” he paused for a while. "And?" I urged him to continue.
“We can change Future as it is unpredictable else we could force Cyreana to change the future” he said and I shook my head no.
"Are you crazy?” I muttered punching the tile in the bathroom.
"You know the consequences of what will happen if she ever tries to change the future forcibly” I said through gritted teeth.
“It's against the nature and she can be punished for doing so or maybe she would cost her own life doing so” I said as I rubbed my forehead feeling the headache hitting again.
“I don't know anything. Don't ask me. My brain is just not working right now” he said and went silent. He blocked me and I sighed as I turned the shower off and wrapped the towel around my waist and stood before the mirror in my bathroom.
“But I do agree on one thing. Future is unpredictable” I said and got out of the bathroom and went inside the closet to change.
Minutes later I stood before Aderyn’s door. I took a deep breathe and I finally decided on doing what was rightly to be done.
I turned the knob and without knocking went inside her room and closed the door behind me making sure to lock it.
She wasn't in her room. Guessing from the sounds of water running from the bathroom I knew that she was inside taking a Shower. I sat on the bed waiting for her.
Minutes later I heard the sound stop and I knew she was done.
The door opened and she came out already dressed up into a white shirt and a black leggings. The fact that her hair was till wet and the water that dripped into her clothes from her wet hair made her white shirt little transparent where I could see her waist and some parts of her chest. She looked divine and breathtakingly gorgeous.
It pained me think that I was going to give her pain right now. It was for the betterment of our relation.
As soon as she saw me a gasp escaped her lips and she held the towel in her hand that she was previously using to dry her hair. Suddenly her eyes felt with happiness perhaps seeing me perfectly fine.
“Dyla-" she was cut off when in a lightening speed I stood in front her face only mere inches away from her face.
"W-What's wrong?” she asked and tried to back away.
I took hold of her hand and made her stand against the wall caging her.
“Dyla-" I cut her off by placing a finger on her lips.
"Sssh! I am sorry love” I whispered as I began trailing my finger on her face.
“For what?“she asked and all of a sudden she looked nervous standing before me.
"You were right” I said as I inched closer and whispered into her ear ” I shouldn't give up on my present just by thinking about the future. Future is unpredictable and it can change if we try to mend our present. It depends upon our present and my both present and future is you" I said and placed a kiss on her ear making her shiver. I felt her loosing the grip on the towel as I held her by her waist and began to kiss her neck.
“W-What are you doing?” she managed to ask.
“I am changing my future. I am going to mark you now and then I will mate with you. Then we will always be together. Forever” I told her and noticed her freezing on her spot.
"W-What?" she asked with wide eyes.
I nodded with a smile took a strand of her wet hair into my finger, twirling it around my finger I said "After that nobody could ever take you away from me. Because you will become a part of me and my kingdom. You will get some of my powers and my people will happily guard their Queen and will even wish to die protecting you. If I mate you I will be getting my kind's help in protecting you and then” I took hold of her hand and placed a kiss on it.
“We will always be together” making her shiver.
She tried to push me but I held her by her arms “Dylan I don't think that I am read-" I cut her off “Don’t worry love it will take just some few hour to complete the mating process. You won't feel a thing” I said as I crashed my lips against her trying to dominate her.
“Dylan!” she pushed me away “Do you even know what you are saying?" she asked as she started to struggle her arms to get herself free.
“I don’t want to wait any longer. Marking you will make you secure” I said as I took hold hold of her hand and folded it backwards.
“Ouch Dylan!” she struggled.
"Sorry love. Just stay still. You are making it hard for me. I know I am forcing you but it is for your own safety. I can't see you away from me” I confessed and placed my forehead against her.
“Dylan please let me go! I don’t want to do this. I am not ready” she begged as tears escaped her eye.
"Sssh! Sssh! Love please don't cry. I am not going to hurt you” I said and took hold of both o her hand in my one hand and used another to get rid of her the buttons of her shirt and freed the part where I was going to mark her.
“You are! You are hurting me right now" she said and raised her knee to kick me. I blocked it using my free hand and stood between her leg not giving her any chance to escape.
“No! Dylan please. Please let me go” she cried and in a swift movement I threw her on the bed and hovered over her holding her hand above her head.
“Dylan please stop!” she pleaded when I began to kiss her neck and suck on it.
“You are so beautiful” I complimented as I placed small kisses on her lips and neck.
“You are mine! I love you so much my Aderyn. You are only mine!” with that I tore her shirt and threw it away leaving her in her black bralette and she began to struggle against me sobbing even more loudly.
“You won't feel anything. I will try not to hurt you. I promise” I said and that is when my canines elongated preparing to mark what's mine.
