Chosen By The Moon



I had become accustomed to being in the man's arms, it was the only place where I felt the world couldn't come down and crush me to death. The man's strong muscular arms were my own personal safe haven, no matter where I was or what I was doing, I would always be able to find solace in his embrace.

"I promise, we won't jump each other in your office... no promises about anywhere else on the pack though." I chuckled taking both men by surprise at my words. I was becoming much more bold in my teasing of Lewis. The tension was quickly turning sexual between the two of us, so Alpha Gilliards statement wasn't entirely false. If the subject wasn't changed immediately then we wouldn't last much longer in here. "Besides... Vee should be finishing up soon anyway, it's been half an hour, which quite honestly is much longer than I expected."

"Do you think Carlos will be ok? What do you think will happen to him?" It was the alpha that asked the question that caused our faces to drop, he looked somewhat down at the mention of my prison friend, I suppose he had known him for much longer than me. They were in contact even before the smuggling trade.

"I think it will take a miracle for him to survive. If the information is true, and he has in fact been forcefully marked, then he's going to be in more pain than any of us could fathom." I felt like everyone I got close to always ended up leaving, whether that was through a fated partnership or through death. I wasn't sure how much more loss I could take.

"Carlos is one tough bastard though. If anyone could survive it, I would put money on him." Lewis shook his head at his cousins words though, I didn't know Carlos's tough side, stubborn, most definitely, but I imagine by the time I had met him, he had probably been broken in some way.

"You haven't seen him in years, Gill,

he was in a similar situation to Dylan. Very underweight, and

seriously lacked muscle mass after being held in the dungeon for years. I don't think his body will hold up for very long at all." Actually I think muscle wise he had less than I did, Lewis was right, his body most likely wouldn't hold up for too long. He would most likely succumb before the moon even managed to reach its peak.

"I'm just glad that Vee has her mate to comfort her. When Carlos was first taken she took it really hard." I could definitely sympathize with her over that one. She thought she had lost her father completely, anyone who has ever lost a parent would know how that feels.

"The full moon is in two days. She's going to need all the support we can offer her." Gilliard stated with a sigh. I hadn't even realized that the full moon was so soon. Once this one has passed then Carlos will most likely be gone, and we will be one full moon closer to the upcoming battle.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

With that thought in my mind a strong sinking feeling entered my stomach. I wasn't all that sure I was strong enough to overcome seeing the king again. I wasn't sure how my mind and my body would react to being so close to my abuser.

"Actually... thinking about it, alpha Shawn could be a problem. Wolves become stronger when the moon is at its peak Maybe we should double bit the security for the time being." The two guys were mulling what I had said over in their minds, and wasn't wrong. It would be wise to increase the amount of people watching the border. "How is the border holding up anyway?"

"It's holding up well actually. I intend to go later today, to check on it, I might take Qliver with me, just to familiarize him." I for once actually thought that was a good idea. Oliver had somewhat gain my trust, not fully naturally I still had my O reservations, however, after he saved my life while we were away, it's only right that I give him the benefit of the doubt.
