Chosen By The Moon

Chapter 0208

"I will not put my people at risk any more than I already have." She stood up and looked at me pained. Sympathy written all over her features. "I know how much you have been through. But we've built something here, something good, something hidden from the king and his wolves. I think you are amazing, but I don't intend to sacrifice everything we strive for, for the sake of one persons ideals."

"It's not just my ideals V. It's everyone the lycans have shit on in the last five years. It's all the family's that have been torn apart for the sake of a stupid new world. theres really only a handful of people that are are actually happy and content. Rebellion is around the corner, wether it starts with this place or somewhere else." Delusional wasn't even the word I would use. This lady was completely deranged and blind to the world. Unfortunately, I knew far too many people with the same attitude.

"I've said I'll think about it. You're ideas are valid, but they need a lot of preparation, whatever we decide to do, we can't do half cocked." I sighed and realized that she had no intention of starting anything. As long as she and this place were safe, she didn't care about the suffering of other humans. “Besides, if we closed the border down completely, then how are we supposed to smuggle all the contraband items?”

Now this annoyed me to high heavens, the smuggling trade was forged to provide help to the people living in conditions that were inhumane. The lack of rations provided was simply abhorrent for families with children, or for people who had to care for those with learning difficulties. There was simply no living.

“Taking away the smuggling trade for people might not be the worst idea.” I shrugged while looking at the girl in front of me. I watched as Vs mouth hung open in shock at my words.

“What are you talking about?” My eyebrows raised as I watched her clearly trying to justify my words. “You we’re the one that started the smuggling, and now you want to end it just like that? Have you truly given up on the human districts?”

“I created the smuggling trade to stop excess punishments from being given. I built it up from nothing, to help people to give the humans hope, but somehow the true meaning for it became lost. Instead of just contraception and extra milk tokens being bought in, you’ve been providing alcohol, and other crap that’s simply unnecessary. The people have been relying on the trade for far too long, and because of this they are forgetting how shitty the world has become. If the smuggling were to stop, then everyone would see once again just how badly the lycans treat us.” My rant escalated quickly as my tone became harder and more frustrated. “People have been taking advantage of the trade for quite some time now, it’s about time they realized just how much the rebellion had done for them.”

“So you’re plan is to deliberately cut off the smuggling supply’s in order to coerce the people into rebelling against their Lycan districts? Thats just despicable and very manipulative.” She was always going to twist my words, I realized that now. My plan was a good plan, it was risky but good. However V would never willingly go along with it. No what I needed to do was discuss it with the others, the members of the bases council and then eventually, I had to personally take my idea up with this illusive Alpha I've heard about.

I'm know for a fact that V wouldn't like me going behind her back and above her head, but I had to get things moving. This stupid, sick new world had gone on for far too long and it was time for everyone to start taking action. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“If you think that trying to provide a world in which both humans and lycans can live in without the fear of torture running through them, is worse than prioritizing a small selection of people over the wellbeing of millions is despicable, then that’s fine. But to me it is your blatant naivety of the world that’s truly shocking. It’s clear that our priorities are extremely different, you live a sheltered life and

have never dealt with a lycans wrath, I don’t think you will ever understand what people go through ever single day.” I stood up and frowned angrily at V.
