The Forgotten Soul

DC.....

Who the fuck dares to lay a finger on her? Not only did he touch her without my permission, that piece of shit hurt her. She was scared. He made my mate fear him. Well now it was his turn to fear me.

  I didn't even realize I was at my dad's door until I barged into his room unannounced. I could hear Anani calling me, trying to be the voice of reason but I could barely make out the words she said which in itself it's a bad thing. It didn't matter right now seeing as I only wanted bad things especially for him.

 The look of surprise in my dad's face wasn't nearly as sufficient as his look of shock which I got to see in a few seconds as my fist connected with his jaw. He was too shocked to retaliate so I threw another punch so he would get the picture. Two punches later it finally clicks and he starts defending himself.

 "Dylan stop, please," I hear Anani cry and just like that I snap out of my daze. I walked back to Anani just to drag her back to my exact same spot, right in front of my dad.

 "It's this what you fucking do? You hit girls? You're pathetic,” I say.

“DC please it's--”

“ Don't you DARE say what he did to you was okay,” i say to Anani before i turn back to my father. “What did she do to deserve this? I know you more than you think and if this was anything political then i swear I'm going to kill you.”

 “Of course this is political. I'm a king. I run a kingdom and if i don't run it right then people like her are going to be running around aimlessly. You probably don't even know who she really is but i do,” he says turning to Anani now. “Your birthright is mine. With more power i can do anything i want and that power is in the northern kingdom. Uninhabited by royals for years and always up for taking. No one would dare go against me. I told you that you were banished from my kingdom and my son, did i not? What made you think that you could come back here?”

My face pales. He banished my mate? Fury glowed from the depths of my body.

“You'll be a good little Soul right? Then leave,” he says and I right hook him two more times before Anani pulls me back.

 “You are a PATHETIC excuse for a husband, father, and king and I'm disgusted to share the same last name with you. No matter who you think she is, this is no way you treat anyone. I'm more than sure she didn't even try to fight back because of who you are," I say. Anani squeezes my hand and I clench my jaw, calming down slowly. I let Anani go walking up to Xavier so I'm directly in his face.

 "She's the ONLY reason I stopped right now." As angry as I was he was probably ten times angrier. I had assaulted him, in his territory, in his castle, in his room and plenty of the guards saw everything unravel and more than half of them were happily going to talk even if they were loyal to the core.

 "You're disgraceful," he says. "Choosing this girl over your father? You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me!"

 "If you EVER hurt my mate again, I'm going to give you a one way ticket to hell," I say.

I don't stay long enough to see his face shift from anger to confusion to shock. He had just harmed the future queen of either the northern or southern territory, or even both. I practically ran back to my room slamming my door and face planting on my bed, more tired than I've been in a while. I tried to control my rage that dared me to go back down and pulverize him, not because I didn't want to, but because Anani didn't. Before I drift off I hear a soft knock on my door. I smirk because no one in this house knocks on any door. Before I know it Anani was hovering over me. I mumble out a sorry and I hear her sigh as she climbs on the bed resting her head next to mine.

 "Me too," she says. I turn my head towards her and she gives me a shy smile before closing her eyes. She scoots closer to me and I wrap my arms around her tightly. I'd never forgive myself if any harm came to her because of me. I love her too much to ever let her go. About fifteen minutes pass and she's officially in deep sleep, testing soundly on my chest. I pick her up to take her to her room because as much as I love the idea she's not sleeping in the same bed as me, not tonight when I felt like doing something reckless. I just earned her trust and I didn't feel like losing it anytime soon.
