Lewis POV"I knew you'd be good at this." I absentmindedly spoke the truth about what I had witnessed my girl doing. She was amazing at keeping her composure in situations that demanded a clear head. "I always did say that you were a born leader.""How come no one is questioning it?" At first I had no idea what she was talking about, I couldn't fathom what she thought everyone should be doing, then it hit me, she didn't understand why nobody refused her orders. I knew this to be true by the bewildered shock showing on her face. "Surely everyone must be wondering why we are suddenly attacking the borders." "I'm sure they are, but, although they might not know why you're ordering it, they know that you have everybody's best interest at heart, you wouldn't ask anything that wasn't beneficial or important." Dylan had this aura about her, despite her frail malnourished frame, her mind and determination were unmatched, she had this unique ability to keep command over situations that were c
Oliver POVMy leg absolutely burned as Lewis dragged me through the district, never in my wildest dreams would I have expected that girl to shoot me the way she did. Especially not with silver. It was like she had become completely unshakeable in the weeks she had been away, after everything that josh did, I admit, I thought she would fold as soon as she saw me. I assumed he had squashed her fight, but seeing her here, only made me realize how strong the girl actually is.“I was right about you two.” I stated quietly to the man I call friend. Sure a lot had happened, and I couldn’t understand the situation entirely, but one thing was clear, Dylan was Lewis’s mate. “You’ve chosen her!”“She chose me…” was his simple reply, however in hind sight there was nothing simple about it, she had chosen him, him but not Josh. I couldn’t understand how a girl could turn down her goddess given pai
Dylan POV I felt so guilty for sending so many people to fight for the border to be compromised. I mean, both humans and wolves went to aid my orders and close the sectors borders alone, while I simply chased after the singularity, the royal bets, who was actually much easier to apprehend than I had originally presumed. My thought process caused a thick knot to form in my chest given how selfish that sounded. Why should I be giving orders to people if I myself was unwilling to help with them? Everything in me was telling me that I should have gone with them. So as soon as I knew Oliver was incapacitated by Lewis, I left, and with my gun still firmly in hand, I approached the battle field. Was it a stupid idea? Definitely, and there was no way in hell that I was actually strong enough to last in a fight against a lycan, although I suppose I had done so in the past when I possessed an even weaker constitution. I guess adrenaline really was an amazing thing to possess in times of stre
Oliver POV"Mate..." All three heads turned to me quickly, but my focus was on a single one. Goddess she was beautiful. I knew in that specific moment that Lewis was right, I could never do anything hurt my mate, thoughts of the king going so far as to actually torture his intended into submission suddenly graced my mind and caused a lump to form in my throat as I stared at the beautiful girl in front of me. I could never do anything that would cause upset or pain in anyway, maybe Josh really couldn't feel anything. I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I shook my head and swallowed thickly not being able to tear my gaze away from my mate. In honestly, I couldn't help but let Images flash through my mind of her going through everything Dylan had,and it caused my heart to miss a beat. Genuinely, How could Josh have gone so far? If anyone even looked at my mate the wrong way, I would tear them limb from limb, without so much as batting my eyes. "What did you just s
Dylan POVSo Victoria ended up being mates to Oliver?! That was a shock to the system, in fact I think I found that more unbelievable than the battle I had witnessed earlier that day.By the time me and Lewis made our way back up to the main pack house I sighed, my hand quickly rubbed my eyes in exasperation as the sound of celebration still met my ears.I was tired and I was drained, not to mention I was covered in blood and I was still dressed in clothes that also belonged to other people, not that I actually had any of my own. Every single item of clothing I had worn since my uniform was taken from me and destroyed in the palace, was borrowed from someone or given to me with the sole purpose of making me feel uncomfortable.All I wanted was somewhere to rest my head."Hey, are you ok?" I felt a comforting hand gently rest on my shoulder causing a small smile to form on my lips. Lewis was always the first person to n
Dylan POV. CRACK! "Argh!" A small pain filled cry left my mouth as I ran in front of my brother, just in time to take the lashing that was originally meant for him. "That boy, just completely disregarded the alpha of your districts pack, step aside." One of the packs warriors held a long thick whip in his hand while looking at me then glancing behind him to look upon my brother. "He's six years old. He didn't mean to..." I was cut off by another load crack and a stinging sensation hit my cheek, my hand moved up to my face, as I inspected the wound, I looked at the fingers that had gently grazed my now stinging cheek and noticed a line of blood coated them. My face was bleeding. "Do you wish to make this a public punishment? I can assure you that it will not end well for you if you don't move aside, human." I don't want to take another punishment, I had received my last one almost 2 months ago now, and it took me weeks to heal, my back is already scarred for life. "He meant no di
Dylan POVMy eyes groggily opened as I sat up, my neck aching from lying on my stomach on a hard wooden table, and my back stinging. I looked down at my once naked torso to find a large bandage, perfectly wrapped around my entire torso covering my exposed breasts as well. Looking outside I noticed the sun slowly making its ascent, an orange hue tinging the early morning sky. I sucked in a breath before allowing my feet to take my weight, almost instantly toppling over in the process. I noticed a small glass of water placed next to me and took it in my hand, greedily drinking every last drop. Realizing I had to get ready for school, I walked over to write a note for Sheila explaining how grateful I was that she helped me and where I've gone. I slowly walked up the hill to my house, once I got indoors I went straight to my room and grabbed my uniform. After the lycans took over they initiated the rule that all humans must wear a certain uniform, and all wolves can express their indiv
Dylan POV“Mom? I'm home!" I yelled the minute I finally got home. Almost instantly she came bounding down the stairs of our little house, she quickly engulfed me in her arms with tears in her eyes. "Dylan, I'm... I'm so sorry about yesterday, I sat with you for hours, but you didn't move, I had to get home to Freddie." She cried on my shoulder while I just rolled my eyes. I'm not much of a hugger, I always just look awkward. She's also very melodramatic sometimes. "Mom, I'm fine." My mom eventually stopped sobbing as she slowly let go of my form drying her eyes. "Your dad would be so proud of the strong young lady you've become." I smiled before turning to head up the stairs. "Dylan... I... I made your favorite." I could already smell the beef broth she was making. The aroma wafting through the house. It was very rare we'd get the food to make beef broth, but I smiled and nodded my head at her knowing she must have done something to get the ingredients. "Thanks mom." Me and my mo
