Chosen By The Moon

"But you aren't just a human, Dyl, the moon goddess has personally chosen you, she has blessed you with a few abilities that can help end the suffering of your kind. That makes you pretty damn special. Not to mention that you've managed to wrap me around your finger." He was right, but what he wasn't aware of was just how much I in return would do for him. "Now I have to ask, what in the hell are you wearing?!" He chuckled again, glancing over my make shift outfit. I'd actually forgotten all about the armor that I originally left in, it was pretty bad really, it didn't even last 3 weeks. "Ahh, yeah, the rogue camp didn't have too many options of clothes. They just walked around naked." Lewis's eyes widened drastically at my sentence, I suppose even I admit it must be a shock to find out that rogue camps still existed, not to mention that I, of all people, had been lead to it. "I'm sorry... did you say a rogue camp?!" I nodded, sighing at the necessity to explain myself in more deatail.

"Oh yeah, we have some rogues that are willing to fight on our side. Their lives have been impacted just as much as humans if I'm being honest. Not in the physical sense, but they are just as trapped. They just want the freedom of being a rogue wolf again." He stared at me in complete and utter bewilderment, was it truly that shocking to find out? I suppose, at the time, even Oliver was surprised to find out that rogues existed in this new world. "How on earth did you manage to discover a rogue camp though? As far as I was concerned, they were extinct." I simply smiled, it wasn't as if I actually discovered it, it was more like they had discovered me.

"Well, they actually found me, they saved me and Oliver from being caught by alpha Shawn after he attacked us." Once again I watched Lewis's eyes widen dramatically and his gaze darted over every inch of my facial features almost as if checking for any damage or injury.

"I knew Alpha Shawn was going to be difficult." I simply nodded, however couldn't help but scoff at my boyfriends understatement. "Were you injured?"

I contemplated the truth, whether or not it was actually worth telling him about my head injury and broken ankle, at the end of the day I was ok now, so was it even really relevant? Still, didn't want to lie to Lewis. If things were going to work between us then I had to at least be honest.

"I hit my head again, and smashed my ankle in. The moon goddess sorted me out though..." I barely had time to finish my sentence before Lewis crashed his lips on mine. It was a lot needier than I was expecting but I wasn't at all complaining about it. I needed him just as much. The ex beta pulled away from me far too soon for my liking, and I couldn't help but allow a look of disappointment to cloud my features.

"Will you ever not make me worry?" He asked while gently leaning his forehead on my own. His breath hit my face causing a tingle of butterflies to shoot through my stomach and my heart to skip a beat.

"That's kind of my job now, isn't it?" I chuckled when he raised his eyebrow in a smirk.

"It will be officially your job if you marry me!" He already knew my answer would be no again, but still, he asked me anyway, probably just testing the waters.

"Ask me again after the king is gone and I will give you an answer." This time it was my turn to smile smugly at his shocked expression. I hadn't flat out refused him, and honestly I wasn't sure I was going to.

Sure, marriage is a huge step, and I

was only just Thurber 18, but, Lewis was right. For a wolf marriage was just the human equivalent of

marking and mating, so it made

sense to do it early on in life,

especially if your partner was in fact goddess gifted. If I refused to accept a marking, then I suppose I had to meet him somewhere in the middle. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
