Chosen By The Moon

CHAPTER 4

Dylan POV

After a long night and an even longer morning, we were all finally stood in the hallway at school waiting for the twins to arrive.

“Mine!” Everyone that was stood in the hallway tensed up, as we were seniors, me and Nick were stood towards the very back of the human line. All the mated people were situated directly opposite their wolf mates in their years.

We stayed silent and still as Arya walked down the hall and stopped directly in front of Nick. His eyes widened in fear, unsure of wether to look up or keep his head lowered.

“Look me in the eye, mate.” He glanced at me slightly as if asking what he should do. “I said, look me in the eye.” He slowly moved his eye line up to look at her face. I took a glance myself to see her eyes pitch black with lust.

“I… can’t… I mean… erm.” Before he was able to mutter anything else, two wolves from opposite, grabbed him out of the line and dragged him behind Arya.

“Hey!” My head shot up before I could stop myself. My mouth also forgot its place as I jumped out of line. Everyone’s head shot to me as my eyes widened in realization at what I’d done.

Adrian, the other twin, walked up to me before punching me right in the stomach, I doubled over instantly. Feeling the sting in my slightly healed back.

“I know you… You were publicly flogged only two days ago.” God I hate this guy. “I also have it on good authority, that you openly spoke out against our rules and regulations in yesterday’s class.”

My head shot down the line slightly to see Erin, looking a little frightened, her mate, the beta to be was looking at her, nodding his head in reassurance.

“You fucking traitor, you grassed on your own kind?” I yelled at her before feeling a fist connect with my cheek. My head whipped to the side from the force, while my class members gasped.

I’m so done with this treatment, right then, I wasn’t in charge of my actions. My fists curled up and my stance became a lot more defensive. My head snapped up to the alpha to be, and I looked him in the eye.

“You don’t know the meaning of the word disrespect.” I suddenly hurled my fist towards his head, which he easily dodged, but my foot came up and kicked him instead. He stumbled backwards from the force with wide eyes.

“You… you Actually hit me!” He didn’t even sound annoyed, more shocked. Everyone in the hallway was watching, waiting for the alpha to do something but instead he simply stood up straight, regaining his composure. “I think everyone should get back to class.” He began to walk away, following his sister when I called him back.

“What about Nick?!”

“Simple, He’s my sisters mate. He now belongs to her.” Argh, he’s not a fucking object.

“He’s not her property.” A chuckle left his mouth, before turning his back to me again.

“All humans are property.”

A short while later everyone made it to science class, our teacher Mrs Mathews is mated to the lycans pack doctor, she also now has a four and two year old with him. She was one of the first humans to be cohered into a false relationship.

“What were you thinking young lady?” I rolled my head at her before looking at the empty seat next to mine. Nick was with that stupid wolf girl right now. Being changed, I’m so angry it’s ridiculous.

“I was thinking, this guy is being a prick. Did you hear him? ‘All humans are property.’ It’s bull shit.” I looked up and the whole class looked at me like I had three heads. Talking shit about wolves is one thing, but talking about an alpha is punishable by death, attacking an alpha is an even worse offense.

There was then a knock at the door and in walked Erin and her band of mated bastards. “Sorry we’re late Mrs.”

“Erin, how are things between you and bata Monroe?” She blushed, the traitor actually blushed at the mention of his name.

“He spoke to me last night about trying for a baby. We need a good strong boy to take over as beta.” I scoffed looking at her as she took her seat. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“You guys are actually pathetic, why can’t it be a girl? Those mutts are basically Neanderthals” I voiced my opinion and saw all the shocked faces around me. Calling the lycans mutts, is the same as them calling us scum.

After lesson had ended the entire school was called into the hall for assembly. This is where any human who has been found to have broken the rules were punished, usually 10 lashings were goven out or something similar.

“Welcome to the school assembly, congratulations to the alpha twins for finding both your mates. Now on to the business at hand, as the 5 year anniversary of the new world is coming up, we have been informed that the alpha king will be visiting our district next week, this is very exciting news. We want you all to look your absolute best, she wolves and mated females will wear exemplary dresses made by seamstress. Male wolves and mated men will wear tailored suits. Anyone who doesn’t comply will be reprimanded.” The Alpha King?! No one has met him yet, he took over the throne three years ago when he turned 18.

He really didn’t make any appearances though, great, this month is going to be a fucking nightmare.

“As for the humans, you will be given a new uniform to wear for the visit, these are to be neatly ironed and worn to the highest standard. As for the following humans, based on your attitude this past week, you will be coming to the front and facing punishment. Tony summerset?!” Tony’s head shot up as he looked around, he was in the year below but he shared my views when it came to the lycans.

He slowly walked up to the front of assembly, almost instantly his top was torn in two and he received 10 lashings. A girl named Kara was next and she too received 10 lashings. A few more people went up slowly accepting their fate then suddenly my name was called. “Dylan Riley.” Inside I was terrified but I simply shrugged my shoulders, I guess I did kind of expect this. Although I’m not sure if my back can take any more damage.

“You attacked an alpha, correct!” His eyes bored into mine as I bowed my head submitting to his authority.

“Technically, no.” Everyone in the school gym looked on in fear, as my head moved to the front row of the wolf side. Adrian sat, with a werewolf girl in the year below, her name was Jana, I guess he found his mate. Nick and Arya were no where to be seen though. Adrian gave me a shrug as if to say he didn’t tell, before smirking at my comment. “He hasn’t officially taken the alpha title yet, so he’s just…” i looked at the principle and noticed his eyes black and his claws out, he was in what lycans call a half shift, triggered when the subject has become angered.

He turned to two security wolves and gave them a nod, Almost immediately i was forced onto my knees, my arm was slammed on a table and held in place by one wolf, while my body was held in place by the other.

“Ok, I don’t think this is needed, I have alpha blood, a stupid human girl can’t hurt me.” My head snapped to Adrian who had stood up in front of the school to stop what was happening.

“Nevertheless, humans need to know their place.” With that the pressure on my arm increased as our principals hand pulled my sleeve up before a long claw punctured my skin. The searing pain shooting from the fresh wound had my eyes scrunched and my fist clenched, I bit the inside of my cheek hard instantly tasting blood, however no sound left my mouth.

He continued to write, using my skin as a canvas and his claws as a marker, it went on forever, my vision blurred slightly at one point as I turned my head away.

After minutes of torture, he was done and the pressure on my arm eased, instantly I snatched my arm away, hissing through my teeth at the pain. I was about to scurry off stage, when I was roughly grabbed yet again, my arm being held in the air by the principal while my feet were inches off the floor, blood dripped from the wound and the pattern he had made was on show for everyone to see.

Loads of people gasped, even the wolves looked slightly horrified at what had happened.

“This is what happens when a human decides to speak out. I can promise, anyone who so much as says one word about our way of life, will have the same punishment.” My arm was starting to seriously ache from being held in the air for so long, and the lack of blood flow to my suspended arm was causing me pins and needles, still I refused to make a sound. I held the tears back and I bit my cheek harder causing more blood to fill my mouth.

“That’s enough Bradley!” Adrian growled, he was still stood up and looking at the scene in front of him. His eyes hard as he stared at the principal a low warning growl erupted from his chest which had the head teacher gulping, he quickly let go of my arm causing me to crash to the floor.

A small cry left my mouth as I hit the hard floor. Immediately I scrambled away, my foot just missed the high step leading to the stage and I fell, waiting for the impact of the ground, but it never came. Two strong arms wrapped around me catching my weak body causing me to look up, my eyes widened as I noticed Adrian had caught my falling form.

“This isn’t part of the human punishment program!” Adrian growled causing me to tense in his grip, I pushed him away from me before fixing my uniform top. The room was deadly silent, taking in the scene in front of them, while I stole a glance at my forearm.

Carved into my skin by his devastating claws were two words, words that would most definitely scar my body for life.

‘Human scum’

“Lessons must be learned, she received lashing merely two days ago, and clearly it had no effect on her.” Another growl left Adrian’s chest as he stepped on to the stage, I wasn’t bothered though, you would think I’d be ashamed but I simply smiled slightly. I fixed my sleeve a little so it wouldn’t rub on the fresh wound before speaking.

“It doesn’t matter,” the whole room looked at me shocked by my attitude. “I would rather be labeled human scum, than have any resemblance to your kind. I’m proud of what I am, how many of you can say that?” After my amazing little speech, I walked right down the middle between the humans and lycans and out the door.

No more compliance, I’m going to get away with as much as I can without getting into too much bother. There will come a day when the lycans power will fizzle out. When it does I’ll be ready, I’ll be waiting for the day we take our world back. As for the best part about my plan…

No one can stop me.
