Chosen By The Moon

CHAPTER 73

Dylan POV

It had now been three weeks since the king had left for Australia, I hadn’t heard any word of him, or from him at all in that time and I was becoming much it.

I know for a fact Lewis kept recieving mind links from him, as we’d be just starting to get closer again before his eyes would cloud over and once he’d regained his focus, he would immediately make space between us. Not that I bothered too much, Lewis was keeping the kings information and orders to himself and for that I was silently grateful.

Dancing was really becoming casier, every single time I’d practice with Lewis I’d get just a little bit better. I’d become a lot more fluent with my moves, and I’d even received a very small amount of praise from the queen herself, I was shocked to say the least.

I was currently in the library, Lewis had just stepped out leaving me with a palace guard whose name I did not. know. I was sat, on the comfortable sofa w was long, I was only 11 pages into it and already I wanted to tear my hair out.

Essentially the thing was a diary, explicitly talking about his change as a wolf, and his rule, there were at least a dozen of the exact same book, written over different years of his reign. As much as this book was sucking the life out of me, I had to read it, I had to know if there was a way to return the wolf gift, if a human was capable of being turned into a wolf then it only stands to reason that the possibility of a wolf transforming back into a plain human is applicable. It’s simply a case of reverse engineering. I just had to figure out exactly how the first wolf came to be, and not base my theories on some stupid, non existent goddess the queen told me about. It was too improbable.

“Still at it?” My head raised slightly to regard the beta, who had now just entered through the library’s door holding two glasses of water. He quickly dismissed the guard he’d asked to watch over me and waited until he’d left the room, before closing the door on us both.

“I have no idea how anybody could get through even one of these books without gouging their eyes out.” I sighed while rubbing my hands over my eyes then continuing to read the same line I had now read four times already. “The first king was the most boring person I’ve ever heard about. How he even had the time to write all this is completely beyond me.”

The beta chuckled and quickly sat down on the sofa opposite me, placing both glasses on the table in front of us, our positions were ones of familiarity b

at least an hour in the confinement’s of it.

“I tried to read it once, out of pure curiosity, and didn’t get past page 3.” At least I made it further than he did. Perhaps I would skip the first book, and see the queen want you to read these?”

Oh wher?

Damn, I was hoping my willingness to read them wouldn’t come into conversation. I bit my lip slightly and shrugged my shoulders, meeting the betas gaz

“She doesn’t, I’m just genuinely trying to learn as much as I can so I can avoid being hurt more.” I was a smooth liar by now. I think most humans were, w

Lewis clearly bought my lie as he nodded his head. He smiled slightly at me which made me frown before he took something out of his pocket and place Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Enjoy.” He whispered as he looked at the door then back at me with a chuckle. My face was that of nothing but confusion as I hesitantly grabbed the firm substance. I peeled the foil back and gasped at the sight of the brown snack in my hand.

“Oh my god! Is that chocolate?!” I whispered in both bewilderment and excitement. I hadn’t had any form of chocolate since I was 12, I’d seen the wolves time, but having it physically in my hand, and being able to smell it’s sweet enticing scent made me salivate more than the glass of cola did.
