Chosen By The Moon

Chapter 110

Nick POV

It was a bit awkward as we waited for the girls to join us. | was stood next to both Adrian and the king who was

barking orders at people as they past, and checking the ton his watch.

He was constantly on edge, I'd noticed that about him. Everything was a rush, he never gave Dylan any free

tat all, no wonder.

Arya met my gaze first as she cdown the stairs wearing a beautiful pink dress, she looked like a princess as

reaction to her appearance.

| couldn’t say much at first, | was rendered too speechless by her beauty to have been able to utter a single

sentence. She chuckled placing a kiss on my lips which only madewant much more from her. That girl truly

was my soulmate, the moon goddess truly made no mistakes when it cto love.

Well, that was almost the case,

“You look, breathtaking.” She smiled and rested her head on my shoulder before looking at the stairs still

smiling.

Jana wasn’t far behind her and bounded up to Adrian who was waiting in a similar position as me. His suit rested

nicely on his body, as he looked at his little mate. He too was completely taken by his girlfriend. It was killing him

not being able to mark her until she cof age, however they both knew that they were devoted to one

another, and would mark and mate with each other on Jana’s 17th birthday, it had basically already been

organized.

| hesitantly turned to Dylan who cautiously trudged down the stairs and remained still at the bottom of them.

Keeping as much distance as she could from the king. It was a stark contrast to when the girls cdown so

excited.

The dress Arya had chosen for her was turquoise in color and reached the floor, Id seen it on Arya once before,

and thought she looked amazing in it, but the color really did suit Dylan. However, although the color suited her

so much the dress itself was poorly fitted, it was supposed to hug her hips before loosely flowing down, however

it hung off my friend like a sack, her bony shoulders were highlighted by the thin straps and her collar bones

were prominent, she looked like a walking talking skeleton.

The king didn’t waste any tin walking over to her, he roughly grabbed her shoulders and spun her round so

her back was now facing us all. | gasped at the sight of it, however no one else made much noise, | suppose the

girls had already seen it while they were getting ready. Her scars really were excessive, the backless dress

showed off every mark made by the king and only confirmed her torture, | couldn’t help feel so sorry for her,

there was absolutely no way of getting rid of her scars, they were always going to be there, reminding her just

how cruel King Josh really was.

“Excellent choice, Miss Arya.” Arya must have received an order to give Dylan something that showed the

permanent marks of her injuries, she would never have chosen something like that otherwise, I'm sure of it, she

really had changed. “Come, the press are growing impatient!” We waited quietly, knowing the king and, |

suppose the queen, had to leave before any of us did.

We made our way to the square where everyone was gathered. Both humans and lycans over the age of 14 had

been called to hear the king's

announcement.

The press was gathered towards the middle, so they were centre to everyone who attended, they had both large

cameras and microphones, not to mention little pocket recording devices.

“Do you suppose Queen Dylan will be taking yet another punishment?” | heard one of the reporters say as he

touched up his makeup whileand the 3 other wolves walked past, Dylan and King Josh would be arriving as

soon as everyone has arrived, naturally they would be the last ones here. The guy he spoke to held a large

camera and shrugged his shoulders at the reporter and spoke quietly back, although I could still hear him rather

clearly, so i suppose it wasn't all that quiet.

“Surely not, that poor human girl...” there was a pause in the man’s speech as he locked eyes with Adrian, he

squinted at him then nodded his head out of respect for his future position in the pack.

The wolves and human mates of the pack were on the right hand side, of the stage waiting for us to arrive. My

father in law stood closest to the stage, with his Luna by his side, that is where we also walked, and took our

place, with Adrian and his mate standing directly next to his father, then Arya andstood next to them.

The humans however, were crammed into a small space on the left hand side that was being monitored by the

warriors of the pack, | recognized a lot of them as they walked slowly watching every human, large whips rested

in their grips as they waited for trouble to ensue.

My eyes glided over the humans before they stopped on a familiar figure. My dad was stood watching me

intently, he frowned and mouthed a simple word, it wasn’t hard to understand what he was asking with it

though.

‘Dylan?” | nodded and moved my head towards the beginning of both species and stopped as The king came

into view. Instantly all the chatter died down as he slowly approached, with a dawdling Dylan following behind

him.

Both royals made their way onto the raised wooden platform, | saw hesitation cloud Dylans face as she stepped

up onto it. Her head turned directly to the whipping posts situated next to wear she and the king would be stood.

Both the Beta and Gamma were already stood on the stage waiting for the king to begin to speak.

Everyone was on pins waiting to hear what he had to say this time. | already knew that no one was going to like
