Chosen By The Moon



Chapter 0344

"Why? What did Lewis say to you?" A teasing tone evident in my words, but the guy was saved when my attention was grabbed by someone else's words.

"Oh, you're up already?' I heard a woman's voice from behind me and spun around, almost falling over at the pressure I had placed on my bad ankle. The woman grimaced slightly at the sight of my swollen limb, before meeting my eyes again. "Im not going to lie, I didn't think you'd be able to walk on that foot much, if at all. You're going to need medical attention, maybe for you're head too, it was quite the bump you had." The woman who I vaguely remembered stopping us from running earlier, was now stood in front of me, still very much naked, and completely unashamed of that fact.

"I'm fine, nothing that won't heal." I stated with a small grimace and my hand moved to my head slightly, the ache very prominent in it. "What is this place?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me as I looked around.

We call it no man's land. A place in which no one owns, we're we lone wolves can roam freely, unshackled by the notion of a pack." She spoke, her grey eyes blurring with a playful rebellious intensity, so, she really was a rogue Lycan

"I thought being a rogue was made illegal..." the woman nodded and smirked at me wickedly. Her movements were very animalistic, and she was very dirty, her salt and pepper hair was wild and untamed, thick mats lay within the tresses, but I will admit, she looked happy.

What the king doesn't know won't hurt him. We don't care for the new world. We just want our old life back." She shrugged there really were places, that refused to conform to the kings wishes. "Before, when the realm was under king Reginald's rule, we rogues were free to be just that, to roam unbothered by rules and regulations. We also used to be welcomed by packs of all kinds as travelers, of course some greeted us with hostility, but wolves were meant to be wild, we are just nomads who embrace that nature, now though, we can't even go near a pack or district without being either, forced to join or killed."

"How many of you are there here?" I again asked my questions and was grateful when they were answered with a small smile and accurate information

"There's 18 of us here, including me of course. We look out for each other, but we're all free to move on as and when we wish." The last five years have been so cut and dry for anyone residing in a district over seen by an alpha, and yet, there were people that had simply been living their life, regardless of what the rest of the world are doing. I had no idea how many people, both humans and lycans actually disagreed with the new orders."

"Hang on a minute... if you wanted to stay hidden then Why did you go out of your way to track us down?" I asked suddenly wondering why they went to such lengths to comer me and Oliver the way the did.

We may be rogues but we are still lycans, and we knew exactly who you were as soon as we saw you... we've actually been following you both for about four days. How come Oliver hadn't noticed? Was it because his mind was active on other things? Or was it due to the fact that he simply didn't care. "The truth is, we want to join your fight." My mouth fell open quickly and I looked to Oliver who's eyes held nothing but suspicion.

"I didn't even notice you were following us!" He declared slightly bitter about the fact that they got the jump on him. "How come you have no scent?"

"It was just a little gift from the goddess Luna, Mateus, my brother, was captured and killed for being a rogue when the new world came into being, so me and a few others prayed to the moon goddess for safe keeping, the result was concealing our scent. It allows us to travel unnoticed. Well, it did as soon as we mastered the art of stealth." Wow, so they too have spoken to the moon goddess, or at the very least been blessed by her in some way, although her gift to them was actually beneficial, whereas the offer of mine felt like a punch in the face on top of everything else.noveldrama
