Chosen By The Moon



Adrian POV.

A loud bang shook through the pack house and with it, everyone seemed to cringe. I assumed the alpha was once again arguing with my mother about everything that was currently going on in the world, and how it could be the end of the Lycan rule.

Good riddance if you asked me.

It was no secret that the border to one of the far eastern sectors had been closed, and anyone with half a brain would be able to figure out exactly who had closed it. Not only that, but with the human districts destroying the one thing that was universally used throughout the world to conduct punishments on, lycans districts were becoming tense.

I simply sat, in the family room of my house, reading a simple book and going over my notes for the exams that would be starting next week. Even with the world in turmoil, we still needed to be graded in order to graduate. I admit however, that my mind simply wasn't focussing.

"You're thinking about her again, aren't you?!" My beautiful mate Jana spoke as my eyes lifted only to find her frowning at me, nothing but sadness clouding her features.

"Thinking about who?" I wasn't stupid though, she knew my mind would often wonder over to Dylan and she was possibly up to, not to mention the king and what he would do to her if he ever found her. Everyone around the world was completely on edge, and a lot of lycans were blaming Dylan for

it.

"I'm not dumb you know, you're thinking about Queen Dylan again." I sighed knowing that I couldn't exactly deny it.

"Jana, I love you, and as soon as you

turn 17, I will give you my mark and hope that you will return it." I stated with a large smile that seemed to make my mates cheeks flare a

shade of red. "But... I can't stop

how broken she was when we got her out..." Jana came up next to me and sat down, stroking my arm gently while resting her head on my shoulder. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"I also know how much pain you took to protect her." That's true, I would most likely have scars for the rest of my life. "I love you Adrian, but seeing you like that... I just think we need to keep our heads down, won't really matter anyway, I believe it'fall work out in the end." She didn't understand just how much the humans had been going through for the past 5 years.

"Jana, I can't keep my head down anymore... I've... I've seen a human house, I've seen how they're living. It isn't right." I turned my body to face my mate and wrapped one of my own arms around her shoulders, and looked directly into her green eyes. "An alpha is supposed to protect their pack, I believe that humans are a huge part of my pack, of my family. My sisters mate is human, I'm sorry, but I cannot and will not stand by watching their oppression, while doing nothing about it." I gently kissed her temple, before pulling her into my body, I inhaled her intoxicating scent, and smiled when she too allowed her eyes to flutter closed.

I couldn't wait until she would be able to feel the full mate bond.

"Why would you risk everything though, just for humans?" I knew how difficult it was for some of my kind to come to terms with equality, hell, even Arya struggled with it, until she met Nick and realized just how bad things had gotten.

"It isn't just for humans, Jana. It's for a world that's equal, do you honestly think our peers deserve to be humiliated and tortured for acting the same way we do?" She frowned and shook her head slightly. "Do you think it's right for human children to be put to manual work while we get the education that everyone rightfully deserves?"
