CHAPTER 117
Chosen By The Moon
Nick POV âSo⦠what can I help you with?â Sheila was obviously on edge at my presence, as we sat down at her dining table, it was a bit of a kick in the teeth really seeing this woman so frightened by me. Itâs not like âI need something smuggled in, and you are the only person I know of that can help. Her frown spoke volumes, and panic swept over her features. Maybe it was because the king was actually present in the district at the moment and if sheâs caught, then
would though.
âWhat?..â she shook her startled appearance away quickly and cleared her throat, then refused to look me in the eye. âLook, I donât really know how I can helpâ¦â I gave her a flat look that basically told her, that I knew she knew how to get things in. It was silent for a long minute as she studied my features, eventually she let out a small sigh. What is it you are after?â
âA laptopâ¦â I watched her face contort into one of genuine shock. I know itâs going to be a lot more difficult to get than I believe. It means asking around not only this district, but plenty of others too.
âLaptops donât just grow on trees Nick, you are asking for something impossible. I sighed already knowing that what she spoke was indeed the truth, it w a challenge for everyone involved, but if it meant Dylan could go free, I assumed everyone would be up to the task.
âWe donât just need a laptop, we need a cell phone too⦠She shook her head and stood up from her sat position in disbelief at my request, I was never âIâm not Dylan, Iâm just trying to keep my head down as much as I can while still medically treating everyone, I have a lot of responsibility to our people. Y A small knock brought us out of our interactions and Sheila quickly glanced through the blinds of her house, she let out a small huff and grabbed someth She let whoever it was in quietly and shut the door behind them, meanwhile I stood up, hoping to eavesdrop slightly, when Tonyâs quiet voice sounded th âI shouldnât even be giving these to you.
Make sure you tell her that she is supposed to take one a day, and that it should be at the same time everyday or they wonât provide the full protectionâ¦
So Tony was getting some contraception for someone⦠at least heâs been smart about it, he was almost as resourceful and outgoing as Dylan, in fact he too had taken his fair share of punishments, he was always a bit more scared of the Lycans than my fr âOh, shit!â I heard his is voice and looked to the door I was stood next to, only to find Tony stopped directly in front of me. I must have switched off to what was being said, I w Nick?
1 frowned deeply at the boy bowing to me, his body produced a slight tremble which had me genuinely upset, I realized very quickly that he was now afraid of me.
âTony, you know you donât have to be formal with me, right?â I could hardly believe what I was witnessing, if he was scared of being caught by me, then o humans see you in a different light. âShella is your doctor, technically Iâm the one intruding, she was obviously expecting you.â
