Chosen By The Moon

CHAPTER 7

Dylan POV.

I wandered the corridors straight to the lunch hall.

All the people I would normally hang out with we’re all mated so I grabbed my lunch quickly, and sat down at the end of the human table. Let me lay the lunch hall out for you.

On one side of the room you have two long rows of tables, with simple benches that make it look like prison, on the other side of the room you have multiple round tables with fancy chairs. Yup you get it. The humans sit at the prison tables and the wolves and traitors sit on the fancy tables, they get fancy food, fancy drink and most importantly they get pudding. what I would give to have some pudding.

“Dylan can we just talk?” Nick quickly took the spot next to me as he set his lunch tray down. I looked at his food which had been placed on a ceramic, circular white plate. God that looked good. I sighed knowing he was going to talk anyway.

“Fine, you have two minutes.” I used my fork to take a bit of pasta off his plate and shoved it into my mouth. God that was good.

“After I left school, I was taken to the pack house with Arya, and I really got to know her. It took a few days for me to finally accept being with her, but ever since life has been ok, and the sex… well that’s a whole other story.” Eww, I didn’t need that mental image in my head.

“I’m glad your happy.” I stated before deciding I had no appetite. His face held shock before he sighed in relief.

“That means a lot Dylan, I mean you know that your opinion matters to me.” I cut him off before he could say anything else.

“I said I was glad your happy. I didn’t say I approved of what you’ve done. You’ve basically turned into one of THEM, I can’t ever forgive you for that.” He looked hurt, but I couldn’t care less about his feelings.

He placed his hand gently on my arm and went to open his mouth when a growl sounded out. All heads whipped to where it came from, Arya was stood holding a glass of soda and a plate, she was looking right at me and Nick and I would totally be dead if looks could kill. Nick quickly retracted his hand, his whole face fell and you could see sorrow flood his irises.

“You sit with me now, get away from that, that… scum!” Wow, Nick was such a lucky guy. NOT.

“You heard her. Get away from me, go sit with your new friends. I’m happy for you, and I understand where your coming from, but don’t come up to me again and pretend you didn’t betray your own kind. Don’t pretend you didn’t betray me.” I shoved a little bit of food into my mouth before standing up and walking out of the cafeteria, leaving my tray on the table.

I was walking through the hallway to the classroom, you see I decided to spend lunch with Mr Foley in his room, when I happened to hear voices in the corridor.

“Is it wise for her to actually be present when the king arrives? Surely she could be placed in the dungeons, it might actually teach her some respect?” My principal was speaking to the alpha of our district, huh, if I stayed and listened do you think they’d notice, maybe they could smell me?!

“Everyone is to be present, if the Riley girl does one thing out of line she will be dealt with severely, child or not. That girl has been a blight to the district since day one, she’s dangerous, if she puts one hair out of place I will personally break her into submission.” Oh shit, they were talking about me specifically, and they mentioned the dungeon, that’s not been used in months. Normally I would have listened in more but something about the entire situation didn’t sit right with me, all of a sudden, I was on edge, and simply wasn’t interested in the slightest in hearing how my misery was to be enhanced.

I backed up slightly before turning around and bumping head first into one of the hottest man I had ever seen. I lost my balance immediately and fell straight on to the floor letting out a small grumble in the process.

His eyebrows knitted together quickly and his breath hitched in his throat as he looked upon my fallen state and gasped. “Mate!” He whispered, his eyes fixated on mine. Now, I had seen and heard that many times to know what that means, I gasped before taking a step back.

‘No, no, no, no, no. This can not be happening.’ He growled slightly before stepping towards me, I however didn’t give him time to do anything else as I quickly took off, back down the hall and towards the cafeteria. His growls reverted off the walls and probably had half the school wondering what was going on, it terrified me to no end as I made my way to the double doors leading to where lunch was held.

With my breathing slightly erratic I entered the dining hall. I was slightly praying he wasn’t following me when I lifted my head to find the entire cafeteria staring at me in shock due to my sudden intrusion, you could tell that everyone almost instantly knew I was the cause of the large growl.

I didn’t pay it any mind, by now everyone should be used to me doing stuff like this, after all I am always in trouble. I simply walked over to the human tables once more and sat down. Keeping my eyes firmly on the door Incase that stupid wolf decided to come and find me, much to my surprise and confusion he didn’t enter after me.

The second the lunch bell chimed everyone began to exit the lunch hall. I quickly shot to my feet and walked towards the door, joining the masses of human students to try and cover my scent slightly.

I headed straight for Mrs Matthews room where our next lesson was taking place and walked in. Everyone was fixing themselves to appear neat and proper for the royal meeting.

“Ok, everyone. As you know or may have heard the king arrived at the school during lunch and in 5 minutes you’ll be expected to be in your lines with your head bowed, your clothing should be straightened out and your manners exemplary.” She then took out a small compact mirror and began fixing her makeup while everyone else sorted their hair and outfits out. I was the only one who was sat down not bothering about my appearance.

My legs were on top of the table while my head was leant back over the chair I was on, my hair was left down, and was undoubtedly knotted by now, you could clearly tell I was a lot less than thrilled at the revelation of the king’s arrival. After the classes quick fixes we were led to the very long corridor, every single wolf and human at the school were lined up in two lines, all the wolves on one side with their formal dresses and the humans on the other side.

The king clearly was the man with the crown on his head, standing next to our principal, right towards the end of the hall. something about him seemed familiar, I can’t have seen him before surely, he never makes public appearances.

The king began to travel up the two lines greeting everyone in the hall. He stopped at the alpha twins and spoke to them slightly before continuing down the line.

All was going well until Barbara a girl who was stood next to me, decided she needed to fucking sneeze. The kings head shot to towards us so suddenly that I’m surprised he didn’t get whiplash, his eyes widened dramatically as he made and kept eye contact with me, his breath hitched in his throat, as the rest of the wolves and humans looked between me and the king. Mine and Barbara’s head instantly bowed out of respect for the royal wolf.

“Mate!” My eyes bulged out of my head as I snapped up to regard the guy who is obviously the king. His eyes were locked on mine as he began to advance very quickly. Oh great. That’s why he looked familiar, he was the same guy who I bumped into only an hour or two before hand. The one who claimed I was his mate…Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
