Chosen By The Moon

Chapter 0415



King Josh POV

5 Years ago...

"Why are you here? I told you, the moon goddess has chosen your path, we can't be together while you are tethered to Lewis." I was unnecessarily harsh with Iliana, whos affection towards me had genuinely grown alot over time. "Last night was a mistake..."

In the distance, on a hill, rested the royal palace, a place where my father currently had his eyes on. I understood his need for the throne, our current king was spineless, and needed to be over thown in order for Lycans to come out of hiding.

It was wrong that we had to conceal our true forms, simply because humans would fear the alternative. It's not our fault we were born this way, why should we have to withhold our nature for the sake of their phobia?

This girl currently in front of me was Iliana, my best friends mate. Very recently discovered much to her horror. Iliana had affection for me, and I promised that as soon as I turned 17 she would be my mate. Only, she was older than us, so yesterday her 17th birthday came round, and low and behold, she was mated to Lewis.

Lewis was strong, he was powerful, he worried my father never mind anything else, we just needed a way to bring out his anger in order to prate the palace.

"I did it, Josh... I told him, so we can be together now right? The rejection is officially recognized by the moon goddess herself, the connection is severed, We both felt it in our hearts..." Iliana gleefully attached herself to me as she explained what had happened, her petite arms wrapped around the back of my neck lovingly, all the while I stared at the royal palace. A dangerous, calculating squint taking over my eyes.

A fortress like that was imprable, it would take a miracle to even get passed the outer gates.

Lewis, was our only option.

I had seen Lewis, loose control only

once, and that was when he first shifted, at age 11 he was young, everyone saw power in him, even now, our sparring sessions were becoming more strenuous forme, his fighting abilities were quickly overtaking my own.

My plan was simple... once Lewis had discovered his mate was Iliana, it made more and more sense. A Lycan all but breaks upon rejection, and so I did everything in my power to seduce this mediocre wolfin front of me.

S

Sure, our friend was beautiful, but in a common sort of way, she was petite and gentle, in fact, I could sort of understand why the moon goddess had gifted her to Lewis. They would have made an exceptional couple.

Once I knew I had the girl in the palm of my hand, I seduced her completely, and had a night full of sex, this morning she insisted on rejecting Lewis, It was perfect. I had manipulated her into personally suggesting rejection. My hope was for Lewis to enter a fit of rage, of course I played dumb for him. Not letting on that I had even noticed Iliana's feelings for me until yesterday.

"And Lewis?" I asked, a smile breaking out as I thought about how he could quite easily storm the palace and help my father, and eventually me, take the throne.

"He understood completely. Our love is just too great, even the moon goddess can't understand it." She buried her head into my chest, and sighed in contentment.

Shit! He understood?! What sort of wolf would understand something so heinous? How could he knowingly accept Iliana's rejection without feeling hopeless and incomplete.

"What do you mean? Is he not furious?" Her head shook and she placed a peck on my cheek while one of her hands rested on my chest.

"No, not at all. I mean, He was obviously disheartened, but even he knows our love is just meant to be. I love you Josh, I'd do anything for you." Such a kind, stupid soul.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
