Chosen By The Moon

Dylan POV

“If you storngly believe that you and Lewis were always intended for each other, then why are you still denying his mark? Even Vee has been thinking about accepting mine.” I frowned, and felt my throat going tight. He was right who was I to fight for equality when I

couldn’t even bring myself to be marked.

“Lewis said he doesn’t want that…” Well, he said he would never ask

that of me.

“He lied!” I couldn’t understand why Oliver was so insistent on me and Lewis doing the Lycan tradition and mating with each other. It was strange considering that two weeks ago he was telling me to go back to the king.

“He wouldn’t lie about that… He said he would never ask me to accept his mark.” That was the truth, but I could tell this argument with Oliver was only just starting.

“Ahhh… See, you just changed your previous answer. You said he would never ask you, he never once said that he didn’t want you to bare his mark. He’s a lycan, your grace, it’s in our nature for us to want to claim the one we love. That way, other wolves can see exactly who they belong to.” Oh, I hated that wolves were so adamant on claiming their mates like objects, it annoyed the hell out of me.

“That’s the thing though, some wolves only view us humans as property, a mark is…” He cut me off… arguing his own reasons for continuing on this subject of conversation.

“No different than wearing a wedding band. Humans believe in marriage and unity do they not?” It’s very different, for one, we didn’t have to bite anyone at a human wedding. I don’t think i’ll ever be able

to wear a mates mark. “Well, that’s all a mark is for a wolf. Why do you wear rings as well as signing the marriage papers? Because you want the rest of the world to know that your spouse is taken and no longer single.”

He did have a point I suppose.

“Maybe you’re right… But marriage doesn’t involve biting or hurting your partner.” He sighed shaking his head at me and stepped closer while we continued to argue in the middle of the rogues camp.

“Marking doesn’t hurt… its supposed to feel absolutely euphoric for both parties.” He frowned then ran his hand through his hair, mumbling the next part of his sentence under his breath. “What the fuck are they teaching you at school?”

“Your telling me that being bitten by an animal does not hurt?!” Technically a lycan had to be in human form to mark their mates, but still they used their animals teeth to perform that task. “I’m sorry, but you guys use your wolfs fangs to bite into the skin, there is no world in which that wouldn’t hurt.”

“I promise you, it’s really not supposed to hurt… it actually is a really vulnerable event for everyone. For a wolf, your energy apparently depletes, and you’re at your most vulnerable state for a solid minute before shooting back up, it’s possibly the only time we have no wolf abilities at all. And the pleasure, well, that is supposed to be like. nothing you have ever felt before. I genuinely can’t wait to mark Vee, of course, I’ll wait patiently for her, I want it to be as special as I’ve always imagined it to be. You humans think about your weddings. from such a young age, and I can promise you, it’s the same for wolves and mating.” This guy certainly knows how to sell a nightmare as a dream, I’ll

give him that, and god did he make my guilt multiply tenfold. “Not to mention that it is a way to bring our mates even closer to us, body and soul. To be able to communicate in wolf form, well that is simply amazing to think about.”

He had a point with that statement too, Was I being really selfish with Lewis? Denying him the opportunity to be happily mated with
