Chosen By The Moon

Chapter 148

King Josh POV

For the first tin months | actually went to bed feeling relieved, a certain excitement grew insideas |

thought about my queen. | had finally done it, | had broken her spirit, | had ground her into dust, and now that

girl was putty in my hands.

e whip w

1 had been biding my twith her over the last few days, but now, now was the tto act. The way she

cowered away fromas | held the beautiful, it only took one main hit on her back for her to crumple, and so |

knew... this ttomorrow night she would be marked, and we would finally be mated.

It was something | had been praying to the moon goddess for, for months, after years of waiting. The moon

goddess really was a cruel benevolent, because instead of grantingthe honor of calling another Lyran my

queen, she giftedDylan. The most defiant human girl she could find, but 1, being the wolf that | am,

accepted the challenge and now all my hard work had paid off She was mine, and mine alone, she had even said

so herself.

Soi slept, and I slept well, knowing my beautiful mate was locked up good and tight in the dungeons of the pack,

probably overthinking about how she was going to talkout of giving her yet another lashing, little did she

know that I had no intention of giving her another official lashing, her back was scarred enough, | knew she

couldn't take anymore on her back, 1 just wanted to test her, | wanted her to be scared, and after seeing how

much it hurt her just taking one hit, | knew she would do anything to prevent it, Even if it meant accepting me.

At least that’s what | thought!

Imagine my shock when | was woken up by my Beta, Oliver, who seemed to hastily informabout a fire raging

out of control in the humans district. Now | usually wouldn't get involved in pack business, such matters always

seem far too trivial, but because | was currently staying there, | had to be present, if only to show respect to the

alpha.

that is unt

It was probably just a stupid accident, at least that is what | kept telling myself, that is until exited the pack

house to see the flames rising over the buildings in front of me. My nose was engulfed with the strong scent of

burning wood as | made my way to where the fire seemed to originate.

“What the fuck happened?!” | demanded, making my presence known as | walked towards the alpha of the

district. My face lumed to the flames as | watched sof the pack warriors throw water on the stage to try and

tthe fire.

It was definitely deliberate, Someone had gone out of their way to bum the stage in the main square, how a

human could have the gall to be so rebellious was beyond me, but | knew that they would be found and dealt

with severely, this pack was known for their punishments.

“We found this...” Beta Steven, jogged over to where | conversed with the alpha and held up an empty bottle of

vodka, the clear glass was covered slightly with soot and ash. “It must have been used as the fuel.”

“How could this have happened? Where was the patrol?” The alpha of the district was even more angry than |

was. It was most likely just sunplanned rebellious action, because of the death that happened a few days

ago.

“I want every single human questioned... this cannot go unpunished.” Beta Steven spoke to a handful of the

pack warriors as a shewolf walked up to the alpha holding a set of heavy chains, and with it my heart dropped.

“These were also found in front of the fire, alpha!” | was quick to interfere and snatched the heavy chains away

from the woman, she instantly recoilled and began to once again help to quell the flames.

As soon as | looked at the chains | had a sinking feeling in my stomach, and upon sniffing the thick metal a growl

erupted out of me. It was her scent. It was faint, and tainted with the strong smell of burnt wood, but I'd

recognize it anywhere.

“NO!” | didn't waste any tin explaining to anyone where | was off to as | ran straight for the pack house. |

charged down the musty stairs leading to the dungeon and straight to where | had left her. “FUCK!”

She was gone. My beautiful mate had left me! No, she wouldn't do that, she was broken, she was terrified of me

and what | could do. She wouldn't have left me, she had to have been taken from me. There was no way she

could have escaped on her own. It just made no sense. Dylan's scent was the only one present. Without thinking

| allowed my mind link to open and instantly began barking orders at my beta. “Oliver?! Your queen has gone,

find her! Kill anyone she is with, and bring her back. Break her fucking legs if you have to.”

Did | want to hurt her anymore? Of course | didn’t, but actions have consequences, no matter she was to me.

She would severely regret crossing me.

My fist quickly slammed into the wall of the dungeon cell with a loud growl, and my claws slipped out due to my

rage. She would never leave me, she was mine, she knew that herself. She was mine and mine alone. So why

was she not here? Why would she just not accept me. We could be happy, and she wouldn't want for anything,

but instead she likes to pushand pushso far that | have to punish her. She forces my hand then

constantly complains abouthurting her.

Chapter 143

This twhen | found her again, | would mark her, with or without her permission, | would let fate decide

wether she was worthy or not. If she does die from my mark, then she was never meant to be queen, a royal

would never die so easily. My patience had completely ran dry, and running away fromwas the final straw,

As soon as | have her back I'll chain her to the fucking bedroom, or even to myself, yeah, that would work, she

will never ever leave my sight again after this. Ill break both of her legs if | have to so she can never get away

fromagain. I'll take away every bit of freedom she had, and then | will mark her, wether she wantsto or

not.

The 5 year celebration will end with my mates coronation. | swear it by the power and light of the mood goddess

herself, Dylan will becmy queen. | just needed to figure out what leverage | can get over her. Maybe | was

too hasty in killing her mother, | could have used her to get Dylan’s acceptance.

One thing is for sure...l was going to find her, and when I did, she really would regret ever crossing me.
