Chosen By The Moon

Chapter 0214

“Forget it… if you want to remember that day, then fine… but do it without reminding me of it…” Her frail body began to tremble slightly and with it I felt my entire world crashing down, I couldn’t stand by and let her think that. So I gripped her upper arm gently but firmly and held on for dear life. I couldn’t loose her. I just couldn’t. Not now, not after everything. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

My chest clenched tightly in pain, and the rejection that came with her struggle to move away from me caused agony to flow through me.

At this point I thought her blank stare at me was the worst thing she could do, but once I’d managed to get a closer look at her beautiful face, I realized that the worst thing was the tears that were now streaming down her cheeks. I had made her cry because I couldn’t be honest. It was time I faced the truth and told her exactly what I was thinking… I had to tell her exactly what I was feeling, because if I didn’t I would loose her anyway, and then I would never get the chance to express how I truly felt about her.

“Dylan, please…” Her head shook and her legs trembled, I heard a small sniff before her hand came up to my cheek and a slap rang out. It didn’t hurt physically, but goddess did it burn my heart. I watched as she quickly flinched, bracing herself for pain, expecting me to retaliate with abuse.

“Get off me… let me go… you, you mutts are all the same, all you want is to see us suffer.” Her words came out in a sob, anger and pain clouding her while my own eyes began to fill up. “I don’t want your pity… Just leave me alo…”

“Urgh… I LOVE YOU!” Her movements stopped instantly and her tear stained face shot up to me so fast I was surprised she didn’t get whiplash, at my shouted words. Her eyes widened and her luscious lips parted in shock… well I suppose there was no going back now. I sighed at how quiet the area had gotten, it seemed like even the birds in the trees were holding their breath in anticipation for what was to come. “I’m in love with you, Dylan!”

Her now surprised eyes studied mine for any hint of a lie, and disbelief flashed across her features instead of sadness. I watched as her heartbreaking tears all but stopped instantly and quiet enveloped the pair of us. Her silence was deafening however.

I just stood there, still holding onto her upper arm gently, afraid that she would run as soon as I released my grip. In honesty, I was shocked too. I had absolutely no intention of blurting my confession out like that? I wanted to tell her when the time was right, not after I mistakenly made her believe I didn’t care about her at all.

I mean She really had been severely abused for months, and I had stood by and allowed that abuse to continue. Of course she didn’t believe my confession.

I had to show her…

I would accept her rejection like a true gentleman if she requested it, but in that moment the only thing I could think of was showing her my true intentions, which was extremely difficult to do as my wolf side was fighting me at every turn to just claim her as mine.

"Goddess please give me strength..." I let out a small mumble before now gripping both of her upper arms gently, I turned her ever so slightly so that she met my own frame square on. I moved before I could even think about my actions too much and quickly pulled her into me.

Our lips connected gently, my eyes closed in pure bliss, and the faint sparks that once tenderly tickled my skin every time we touched, shot through me with the intensity of lightening. The bond that I whole heartedly chose to share with her, had been fully awakened, I felt more pleasure than I had ever felt, and I hadn’t even marked her, not that I was ever planning to.

My entire life so far had led me to this moment, to the moment where I could finally hold my one true mate and revel in the ecstasy of her touch. Even if the moment turned out to be brief, even if I

was not what she ultimately wanted, I would thank the moon goddess every single day until my dying breath.

I just had to pray that I wouldn’t be rejected again.
