Chapter 0229
Chosen By The Moon
Dy, will down. He finally managed to grab hold of my wrist gently, stopping my movements instantly.
âYou look the arot to the He finalle rushed out as I let out a sigh. âYou took the same, you look beautiful, nothing has changed Maybe the moon goddess didnât do anything after all. My panic was completely validated though, in my opinion, Because I didnt know if she would just change me anyway, despite my objections, after all, my lack of consent had never bothered anyone before. Luckily though, it seemed she hadnât changed me, and I was still the me I had always been.
It was only after I had calmed down that I suddenly noticed just how dry my mouth was, and when I looked at Lewis a frown crossed my features at his stubble, it seemed like he hadnât shaved in a week. I personally wasnât a huge fan of facial hair on men, donât get me wrong, sometimes it did look good, but not on Lewis.
âYou look tired. I finally stated to which he chuckled at. The dark bags under his beautiful eyes were prominent, and he had lost a bit of weight in his face. It was obvious that he hadnât been looking after himself properly.
âYou frightened the life out of me.â He chuckled tucking a stray piece of my hair behind my ear gently and kissing my forehead, making it so I could feel his scratchy stubble on my skin. âYou are not allowed to pass out ever again.â I too let out a breathy chuckle and took his hand in mine, feeling the sparks of a mate bond coming from where we were conjoined. I liked them from him though, Josh always felt like a threat, whereas Lewis made me feel safe.
âI canât exactly control when I accidentally faintâ¦â I smacked my lips together slightly in an attempt to put some fluid back into my mouth but it failed quickly. âHow long have I been out anyway?â
âSix days!â Six days?! As in almost an entire week? My tearful eyes widened in disbelief, it felt like a day. Maybe a day and a half, but certainly not six days. âLike I said, you frightened the life out of me. Weâve got to make sure you get enough sleep, because I canât keep worrying about you entering a coma due to exhaustion.â But that wasnât what had happened. I was forced into it because, like everything else in my life, that choice was taken away from me.
âHello pot, meet kettle.â I stated sarcastically as my hand moved towards his face, however I stopped myself from actually touching him, which his face fell slightly at. âYou havenât slept much at all have you?â It was a rhetorical question if Iâm being honest, just by looking at him it was certain he hadnât.
âIâm a wolf, Dylan, and Im not malnourished. I genuinely donât need as much sleep as you do.â He chuckled slowly, he was right though, wolves really were stronger in every single way. Maybe I was better off accepting the moon goddessâs curse.
I wanted to get Lewisâs opinion, but the thing I really wasnât sure about, was how to actually broach the subject with him. I couldnât exactly just blurt out what the moon goddess expects from me. It was bad enough I even had to think about it, but thinking about it logically, now it actually made a lot of sense. 2 On the one hand it really was beginning to feel, like the only part of my life that remained mine, was in fact my humanity. The wolves had literally taken everything else from me, and my humanity was the only thing I thought they couldnât touch, but now, now I knew that I was holding on to even that by a single thread, one that the moon goddess could cut within a split second and then nothing would truly be mine ever again.
