Chapter 0328
Chosen By The Moon
Carlos POV.
I sat at the extravagant table, barely eating the food that was laid out in front of me, while lady Lorellia sat stroking her full round stomach with.her thumb, all the while staring at the latest scan photograph that was taken the day before. I simply grumbled and continue playing with my food.
âOnly 12 weeks left to go until we meet him.â She screeched causing a wince to leave me. I was tired, and abused. My arm rested in a tight sling due to my elbow breaking under the weight of Lorellias foot, three days ago, simply because I refused to talk to her stomach. âYou know, if my nephew doesnât get his mate back, then our boy may just be the next heir. How exciting is that, I could be carrying the next king.
âJosh will get her back!â The dowager king snapped at his sister while reading the latest news article on his holographic monitor. âWhen he does, she better beg for his mercy because her life at this stage means very little.â
âSheâs only doing what every instinct in her is telling her to do. He killed her mother, for goddess sake.â Caius stated turning his own. device so that a new news article showed up.
âWith good reason, that woman raised, a loud mouth, impertinent child. Perhaps if he had acted sooner miss Riley wouldnât have gotten any ideas.â That live recording of her on the day of her mothers death. just horrendous to watch, I had no idea she longed for death so much.
Was âHasnât that girl been through enough?â Caucus stated angrily as he looked at his son in horror.
âThis has to stop. We were once a proud race, one who treasured the moon goddesses gifts with every ounce of our being. Now all we do is abuse the people we are bound to, and why? Because we think we are better than them. We may have. abilities beyond the humans, but to use it against them, itâs getting intolerable.â He turned to his daughter, the person calling herself my mate and frowned in anger, before pointing to me. âThat man is about as excited as a fly caught in a spiders web, and I donât blame him. Goddess, Youâll be lucky if he can even hold your child with how badly. you messed his arm up.â
âHe refused to acknowledge our child, I should have broken both of his arms.â She jeered, while my head lowered, the situation wasnât great at all.
âThat is enough.â The old king wasnât playing at all today as he swiped left on the news article to reveal that 22 punishment stages had now been burnt in retaliation for Dylanâs actions.
Dylan there making a difference, defying every law that has Was L been set in place since the beginning of the new world. I was simply stuck in here, destined to be groped and used as a sperm donor for the rest of my existence. I should have been attempting to make a difference too, instead I had all but accepted my fate. Thatâs how I knew Dylan was so much better than I was, she was so sure of herself and her actions, even at such a young age. Her conviction and determination for change, actually freed her from the kings clutches.
Everything she had been through up until now, had only strengthened her resolve to end this sick world as we knew it. She even had the strength to stand up to his grace, on live television and declare that his views were wrong. I know that it resulted in her mother being killed by the kings hands, but she stood her ground and fled when she had the chance, bringing this new mass act of rebellion, the burning of our torture.
1 I was seeing more and more news articles about her and how her actions were slowly being supported by more and more people, even the Lycans were slowly turning against the crown, and it made the royals uneasy.
