Chapter 0248

Chosen By The Moon I met Lewis shortly after moving into Joshs pack and the three of us quickly became friends, along with Iliana that is. I remember when Joshs parents began plotting against his grace, king Reginald, and they made some solid points. Lycans we’re stronger, faster, and more resilient in every way, and yet we were the prey.

in a natural world it made no sense.

Lewis, quickly led me into one of the cells and sat me gently on the bed provided. This dungeon was nothing like that of the palace, it was actually quite comfortable.

“Keep your leg elevated until it’s healed a bit. I’ll get you some water and a cloth so you can clean the wound.” I began to breathe heavily through my pain as I lifted my bleeding leg onto the bed with my hands.

“You know…” I quickly got his attention. “Everything Josh has done, has been warranted.” I could never betray him, even if I thought he went a little too far sometimes.

“Warranted? He nearly beat her to death.” His words held a calm undertone that even a viper couldn’t possess but the venom hidden within was all too similar. The man in front of me, he was ready to lose everything for the girl in question.

“That’s a slight exaggeration, besides I stopped him before he could truly go too far.” Lewis once again shook his head at me, my blonde friend was always the more rational out of the three of us, but after witnessing his wrath when he stormed the old palace grounds, I wouldn’t want to be on his bad side.

“He killed her mom! There was no reason for that.” Even I didn’t agree with him on that regard, but again I could understand his reasoning. He needed to get Dylan to see what she was doing to him, he had become desperate. When I made no acknowledgment of his words he let out an exasperated grunt, his voice rising in volume ever so slightly as his anger rose.

“He’s raped her, Oliver. Over and over again.” I mean, technically that was true, but she was his mate.

“She’s his to do as he pleases, and sex is natural for mates.” If Dylan truly was his mate then surely he himself has had thoughts of going there with her. Although, her skin, at this point was rather grotesque.

I stopped my next words from being spoken however, when I looked at him again and two pain filled eyes met my own. Water gathered in them and it caused me to stop breathing. Lewis was many things, but I had never once, in the 12 years I’d known him, I had never seen him cry.

“He made me watch.” Was his whispered response, and I felt my heart actually skip a beat at the revelation.

“What?!”

“He made me fucking watch.” His head shook in sorrow, While his hand raked through his hair in anger. “He ordered me to stay and watch. Can you imagine… seeing your mate, the reason you exist in this world, screaming in fear and pain, and physically not being able to do a damn thing about it?” I could imagine it, but I couldn’t fully understand it, I hadn’t been lucky enough to have found my mate yet. I was hoping the district tour would uncover her.

I don’t think Lewis had ever spoken it before, because his reaction to his words, was too raw. No lycan would want his mate to be seen by another, however the more he spoke, the more I believed it. Lewis’s hands shook, in fact his whole body did, and I watched as his gathered tears suddenly decided to obey gravity. They fell down his cheeks, as if a dam had burst open creating à constant flow of water. I was shocked!

“I watched everything Oliver. I watched him defile her entirely. He didn’t want her to feel anything but agony, there was no love, no affection, there was nothing on his face, what he did to her, is unforgivable. I’ve made excuses for him myself once…” He admitted allowing his claws to elongate while his eyes overflowed with pent up emotion about the subject. I truly had never seen him like this. “Dylan knew how to push him sometimes, but nothing she ever did made her deserve that…

and she had to endure it…” He swallowed thickly. “She had to take everything he did, and she had to do so with a fucking audience.”
