Chosen By The Moon



Gilliard POV.

"King Josh has Lewis!" Oliver's words made my own blood run cold, as I looked at the hurt wolf in front of me. If Lewis really had been taken by Josh, then he wouldn't last long at all.

"What do you mean?" My voice was the first to break the silence that Oliver had caused. I stole a small quick glance at Dylan who seemed to mimic my shocked facial expression's, however she also appeared to be fighting back tears. It's taken her so long to let Lewis in properly, and now she knew it was a very real possibility that she could lose him forever.

"King Josh turned up with his warriors in tow. Then Alpha Shawn came out of nowhere to let him into the borders..." The guy looked like he was about to pass out as he steadied himself on the wall with one hand. “Me, Lewis, and the few men that were there... we didn't stand a chance." I wasn't buying it. Knew I never should have trusted him the way we did, but Lewis often saw the best in people. Hell, I wasn't even sure my cousin could even fight the king without trying to talk him round first, but he definitely felt a rage unlike anything else every time he mentioned what Dylan had gone through. I still don't think he had told me the full extent of the incidents.

"How is it that only you magically get back here, and practically unscathed I might add?!" I didn't even think about my actions as i instantly squared up to the man in front of everyone. My claws extended and my teeth bared along with a small anger filled growl, causing heads of lower ranks to bow at my authority.

"It's not like that! King Josh

personally targeted Lewis,

screaming and shouting about how he stole his mate, and I fought too,, but if everyone had been caught then they would have stormed the packs of this sector straight away. Instead they're holding up in a pack just outside of the border. In the next sector along." He rambled, clutching at his left rib cage with his right arm and holding himself up with his left hand firmly pressed against the wall.

“And how the fuck do you know where they are residing?!" I was on the verge of punching this guy clean in the face, I can't imagine what Dylan must have been feeling.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"He mindlinked me, technically I still hold the title of royal beta, so I'm still able to communicate with everyone. Told me to tell the rebellion that he was coming to reclaim what is his." That had to be Dylan. Goddess knows what she was thinking and feeling at the chain of evens.

My sight strayed from the lord beta, over to where our queen was stood, only she was no longer there. I gulped hard, taking a large sniff at the air in hopes that she was still in the pack house and hadn't marched straight to the borders out of rage, I knew the girl could be both

impulsive and reckless, not vele

to

mention slightly arrogant and one sided when it came to her views. To my relief she was still within the confines of the walls and so my mission drastically changed from berating Oliver, to seeking out my cousin in law and getting her view on the action that she was undoubtedly planning.

"Olly?!" My thought process was cut off by Vee who, ignored the growing audience and ran straight past me in order to get to her mate. The mark and

bond between them was extremely fresh and so her need to be with him could pose an issue. "Oh my god, what the fuck happened?" He betrayed

us, is what I desperately wanted to say. Instead command left my mouth, leaving no room for arguments.

"The king has arrived earlier than

planned, he's taken one of our own as a hostage Prepare for battle." Everyone's heads bowed lowly while Vee remained by the side of Oliver now dabbing at his head wound with the sleeve of her sweater. "You two." I turned my attention to two of my warriors who instantly showed their attention and respect to me. “Escort the lord beta to the dungeon where he will remain until further questioning."
