Chosen By The Moon
Chapter 159
Dylan POV.
I walked behind V as we made our way to yet another tent. Apparently it was where the rebellions council met for discussions. I suppose my arrival was probably the biggest thing to happen in a while.
“I have to ask… how is my dad?!” What? I frowned quickly and looked at Victoria as she lead me to wherever we were going. Her dad? How the fuck would I know? “I’m sorry, I feel like I’m supposed to be staying professional with you. But I need to know, Lewis has only been able to tell me so much.”
“Carlos?!” I stated finally putting two and two together and actually making the number four this time. She nodded sadly and smiled while looking around.
“He found this place you know? After my mom was taken he swore he’d never let them get to me. So he built a place they would never find. One with wolfsbane surrounding it. He was a good man.” She chuckled and looked down at the floor fidgeting with her fingers. “Lewis told me I’m going to be a sister, its strange thinking about my dad sometimes. He was such a strong man. I can’t imagine what he’s been through in the past few year
“He’s…” do I tell her what state he was in when I left? Do I tell her how isolated he had been over the years he had been there. How the only interaction he had was when he was visited by his bitch of a mate. “Still fighting… I followed quickly knowing that statement was true. “He misses you, and spoke about you all the time. He’d say I reminded him of you and…” she shook her head and smiled at me sadly.
“That may be true… but how is he really?” I guess she knew her dad better than anyone. So I swallowed thickly and began to bite my thumb nail out of nerves. It was never something I used to do though but it felt right in the moment.
“He’s not great. I finally admitted it to the girl in front of me. “He’s not been marked yet… at least he hadn’t been when I left with the king. “She nodded and frowned folding her lips over her teeth to fight her sadness. “He’s been in isolation most of the time, as far as I know he was only let out of the dungeon recently, even the staff thought he had
been killed.”
“And what about the baby?” She really did want to know everything. I contemplated my answer in my head while nibbling my thumbnail so much that a chunk broke away and I had to rip the remains out causing it to bleed slightly. I quickly brought both my hands together behind my back and held them as I looked at V once more while still walking.
“He’s not ecstatic about it. He doesn’t particularly want to be a father again… Again she nodded. She listened intently to my words but refused to look me in the eye while I explained as much as I could. “That was weeks ago now though. I don’t know what is happening currently. I will say that his mate, lady Lorellia, is a total bitch though. In fact the entire royal family are insane…” I maybe shouldn’t have said that, but I had to give her something. “He’d be amazed at how well things are going here. He may have started this place, but it’s taken you to build it into what it is today.”
“And what about you? Is what we have witnessed on the news really what he’s done to you?” I expected to be questioned, I really did… I just didn’t quite expect it to be straight away.
“What has been broadcast… well, that is only a fraction of what he’s done.” I swallowed thickly stealing a glance at the scarring on my forearm. Everything about my body disgusted me. “It isn’t just me though, some Lycans seem to believe they are owed whatever they wish. It is why we need to fight for equality, with the kings treatment of humans there are loads of people who strive for a more peaceful, equal existence, and with the way people are living here, it’s proof that a shared world is possible.”

Chapter 159
“You really do have a way with words, I can see why people follow you. You’re an inspiration, your grace.” She smiled slightly as we continued on.
We finally made it to the tent and inside, a long row of tables stood at the back of the tent and each seat was occupied by a new face. I was exhausted from meeting people and all I wanted was just one minute to myself, even if it was just to wrap my head around everything that had happened, but I wasn’t going to get that, at least not yet anyway.
