Chosen By The Moon



Dylan POV

"I still can't believe that you managed to set that call up, while he's trapped in the palace... you really do seem to surprise me at every turn." Gilliard sat behind his desk while overlooking some paperwork for god knows what, I simply sat on the sofa towards the side, helping myself to the bowl of chocolates that usually sits on the desk, however, currently it resides on my knee.

Lewis was sat next to me, chuckling at the way I was scoffing down each chocolate, making sure to eat the toffee ones as they were most definitely my favorite.

"I mean, by now you should be used to it. The first time you met her she made plans to close the border." Lewis shrugged before reaching over to grab a truffle from the bowl.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I know that, but to open up a cellular connection within the palace! That is severely impressive. Even you couldn't do that after you left." Now it was that one statement that piqued my interests.

"It wasn't that I couldn't, it was more like I didn't want to cause any more trouble." His arms quickly folded over each other and a small childish pout formed on his face causing me to stifle a laugh. "Don't laugh... I swore to you I would come back for you, and I didn't, I'll never forgive myself for leaving you there."

"If you'd have actually come back after everything, then you'd be dead, and I probably would have been forcefully marked a lot sooner. Besides, We found each other in the end, so does it really matter now?" I shrugged, popping yet another sticky chocolate into my mouth.

"It will always matter to me." I had no idea Lewis was still so cut up about everything. Hell, he had more than made things up to me, not that he had to. I had made peace with the fact that nothing could have been done differently.

"Well, it doesn't really matter to me... I'm just grateful to be here." I then chuckled looking at the bowl of chocolates in my lap as I realized had just spoken about actually liking my life within a wolf pack. "I never thought I would ever say tha about a pack house. Then again, never thought I'd end up dating a Lycan either."

"Are you two really not going to complete the marking stage then?" Gilliard asked looking at Lewis more than me. Clearly he was waiting to see some sort of reaction from him. I couldn't bring myself to look at him though, I knew what I was keeping from him. I was stopping him from having the unmatched happiness that comes from being marked and mated to your soulmate.

"We really aren't..." Lewis answered without any hesitation whatsoever, and it caused my heart to swell even more than before. No Lycan would ever pass up the opportunity to complete the mate bond, unless they truly understood their persons wishes. My sight shot to the beta so fast, and with my abrupt movement a small chuckle escaped my boyfriends lips. He met my gaze and nodded his head a single time in acknowledgement of my

preferences. "I already told you, I'm all in... I don't need to mark you for me to be happy."

He grabbed my hand gently in his and brought it up to his lips, placing a small yet attentive kiss on my knuckles before resting both our hands down, on the thigh of his leg.

"Ahem..." the alpha coughed before holding his palms up in fake dismissal. "I told you, no fornication in my office. That includes thoughts of sex." I let out a genuine laugh and sweated my boyfriends hand in affection. Allowing him to see exactly how much his statement meant to me.

I couldn't help but smile at the Gilliards words, however I had to mentally disagree with them. In that particular moment, I didn't want to have sex with Lewis, I genuinely and simply wanted to hold him and I naturally wanted him to hold me.
