Chapter 0337
Chosen By The Moon
Dylan POV.
âThat is my plan anywayâ¦â I stated while sitting opposite alpha Dalton, as he pondered the words that left my lips. I could also feel Oliverâs intense gaze on the back of my head and couldnât help but feel curious about what facial expressions he was pulling.
Alpha Dalton, simply sat behind his desk, his hand stroking his bearded chin lightly in contemplation at my proposition.
âSo this election, would have people pooled from candidates nominated by the citizens?â I nodded my head and sighed, feeling the weight of everything, and already knowing that it was only the beginning. âItâs a good plan, fair and equal.â He finally spoke as he met my eye line. âNow let me ask, what would you do if ultimately your are chosen to sit the throne? I imagine you already have a number of people who would be willing to place your name at the top of the ballot, and you have made it very clear that you are not interested in⦠âI cut him off, already fed up with everyoneâs expectations.
âIts true⦠I donât want to be the leader of an entirely new world, and I never asked for people to lean on me or my ideals, I didnât care if people agreed with me or not, but people did, and then they decided that I was the joan of arc of the rebellion, itâs the hand Iâve been dealt. If Iâm picked then Iâll do what I can, I will lead the way everyone seems to want me to, but Iâm only going to do that if the people that expect me to sacrifice my life can do the same for the life they want.â I finally blew up, explaining everything that was going on inside my head. âIf you want a world were you donât have to look over your shoulder for st ng compassion towards humans, then itâs your choice to fight for it.
Iâm not the creator of the rebellion, it had started long before I was even discovered.â
âYouâre right, the rebellion didnât start with you, but you could very well. be its end, and itâs triumph.â
The alpha sighed, placing his hands on his desk and nodded his head. âIf we win the battle, I have every intention of electing you as our sole ruler. If you accept my nomination, then you may have my pack⦠and our human district.â
One pack down, 6 more to go. I thought to myself as I nodded my head in exasperation. I held my hand out to alpha Dalton and smiled tightly when he shook it. Our business deal had been closed.
There really was no turning back, the more packs we got involved the better things were for us, and it seemed like my compliance was the only reason packs were getting involved.
I walked through the gardens of alpha Daltons pack house and sighed, taking in the banana shaped moon, and all the stars that littered the sky.
âYour planâ¦â I heard and turned quickly to find Oliver looking at me, our clothes had been changed into comfortable lounge wear for the night, and although a pair of boots still rested on his feet, mine were bare beneath the grass. âItâs well thought out.â He spoke walking up to stand next to me as I shifted my gaze from him back to the moon. above me. âYou do actually have quite a sound mind.â
His admittance caused a small smile to form on my lips, while I felt his gaze meet the side of my face. I just sighed, not finding the words to respond to his comment, and so instead, I let my gaze stay firmly on the sky, taking in the warm night air.
âItâs a beautiful night⦠Iâm sorry you got dragged away from Vee for my sake.â Oliver chuckled and looked up to the sky above.
âAnd Just when I thought Iâd notten rid of you.â He chuckled awkwardly sitting down on one of the concrete walls of the large flower beds. âLook, I know Iâm not exactly your favorite person, but believe it or not, I am here to help.â
