Chosen By The Moon



Oliver POV

I was extremely surprised by how calm Dylan actually was, as she opened the door to my cell and stepped inside. Looking directly at me expecting me to explain everything that had happened after we left for the border a few hours ago.

"You know I wouldn't betray you now?!" I asked, displaying my shock to both the queen and my mate as my eyes never left Dylan's. Her head shook in disagreement however and she sighed crossing her arms over her chest as she did so.

"No!.." she spoke, her words cutting through me like a sharp blade, causing every hair on my arms to rise in uncertainty. "I know you would never betray Vee, and I don't think you would ever betray Lewis either... I do suspect that if she wasn't your mate, then you would have done everything in your power to betray me."

Maybe she was right. Maybe I would have thrown her under the bus before everything had happened, but not now, not after seeing things with my own eyes.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"I'm so sorry about Lewis..." I started but instantly shut my mouth as Dylan's glare shot strait to my soul.

"I don't want to hear your apologies, I want to hear your explanation." There was a pause in the air, as Dylan waited somewhat patiently for my story. I had of course already told my side to alpha Gilliard who clearly didn't believes single word that I had uttered.

"We didn't stand a chance. The king came with his men in tow, we attempted to fight him the best we could, but then alpha Shawn came up behind the border. It was impossible not to let it fall." I quickly gave the shortened version of What

had happened. I couldn't leave it there though so I explained the part that could truly paint me in a bad light. "Dylan, it was Lewis's idea to turn him in. He told me to take him to the Josh. I swear it in front of the moon goddess herself. He, he said that..."

"He's a fucking martyr. If we don't get to him in time, and his execution goes ahead, I'll kill him myself all over again." She slightly made me laugh at her words but you could tell she was worried, I guess she really did love him, it was deeply embedded in her eyes.

"Wait... execution?!" It took me a moment to realize what she had actually said, but once I had noticed it, I couldn't I hear it. Did she know indefinitely that he was going to be killed? Or was she just guessing based on Josh's previous actions?

"The king has just once again appeared on live television, telling everyone that Lewis is going to be executed when the full moon is out, so in two days. Now, everyone upstairs is starting to get ready for the fight of our lives!.." She sighed again, and I instantly felt the weight of her words crash down onto my shoulders, I could only imagine how much pressure she herself was feeling. "I'm not prepared to leave you locked down here when you're one of the strongest fighters. I don't know what state Lewis is going to be in when everything kicks off, so we need all the help we can get."

Wow, she was a lot more rational than I gave her credit for. It took a strong mind to be able to put aside things that have happened in the past in order

to create a future that was best for everyone. I suppose she had gained my respect along with my aid.

"I can't imagine how Lewis must be feeling." My eyes finally left that of her grace, and met my mates who looked at Dylan. A hint of sadness in her eyes at the thought of what Lewis could be going through. "You' must hate yourself for not letting Lewis mark you, I mean think-about it, you could you be mind linking each other right now if you had have." I actually found it quite harsh for her to have said something like that. I'm not sure how she would feel if it was me that the king got his hands on, but I know I would be going completely out of my mind if it was her.
