Chosen By The Moon



Dylan POV

I was tired, unbelievably tired.

For the first time in months my sleep was plagued by nightmares. Nightmares of the king, the moon goddess, Lewis, and the upcoming battle. It was all just coming at me so so quickly, and I felt like I hadn't even had time to breathe before this was all sprung on me.

The bed that belonged to Lewis smelt of him but did nothing to warm me up or comfort me in any way. The sheets on his side of our bed were cold, and empty, and his presence was missed more than my words could ever express. I wasn't sure when I had become so reliant on him to ease my mind, but now that he was gone, I was both restless and lost.

After about an hour of actual sleep, and two hours of tossing and turning in bed, I gave up, and ended up going to the alphas office to go over everything. People were still partying, the music was loud and booming through the house, and drinks were still flowing as if it had only been a few minutes. Not that it bothered me at all.

I was glad that everyone else was having fun. It was always a good idea to let your hair down every once in a while, if your mind would let you that is, my mind was far too active for me to do anything other than plan... even if I was doing so silently and unsuccessfully.

I simply stood, looking at the long list of names that were fighting along side us, and glanced at their species which was written next to the persons name. It was a list that I had never seen before, but it was extremely useful. Looking at it, we only hand a handful more humans than wolves.

Those numbers were critical in this fight against human oppressors. The more lycans we had the better our odds were at taking back the world, and having the majority of subjects support it.

All we had to do was win.

I began to pace the office. My mind racing with everything... however what the moon goddess had talked about, and the way she spoke about how I would have to face my ultimate fear, was what was most prominent.

Now that Lewis was gone, I was afraid that I would be alone forever. Maybe my biggest fear was having everyone I love die before I got the chance to tell them my feelings. My mother died assuming that I hated

now Lewis was in a dire

situation and I had yet to express my love in a verbal way. Perhaps my biggest fear would be faced when he is put to death, maybe I just won't reach him in time to save him.

I didn't know. All I knew was that I was alone at the moment, and so I began to think of a list of things that we still needed to provide. We needed medical supply's. So I wrote down everything, from bandages to sutures, we would need them all and We needed a plan of action.

My go to move was typically to go in all guns blazing, with no plan whatsoever, but this was different. Lewis's life was on the line more so than ever and I HAD to do everything in my power to stop his execution.

I really did love that man... wolf or no wolf.

I Had been so lost in thought, that I hadn't noticed that the moon had made its decent and the sun had began to shine brightly in the sky, at least I hadn't until Alpha Gilliard strolled in. Looking to be in a rather pleasant mood. He must have enjoyed his evening yesterday.

"Dylan! I didn't expect to se you here

so early. Did you not indulge and

relax yourself last night?" It was

pretty obvious that I hadn't, in fact I the only drink that I had was the one that the alpha himself had handed

me in order to have a drink with everyone that was about to sacrifice themselves just to usurp King Josh. "You look exhausted."
