Chosen By The Moon

“You hear that? The queen wants to be just like me.” I chuckled at her confidence, before looking to that. Owen guy for help, while he too just stood silently giggling at the situation. “Can I show you our punishment stage?”

“Lily! That’s enough.” A man quickly stepped forwd and placed his hands on the girls shoulders, it was very obviously her dad. “I’m sorry your grace, Lily doesn’t seem to have a filter when it comes to certain things.” I smiled and crouched down to the girls level again before winking at her.

“Maybe you are more like me than you think.” Now that really got her excited as a small squeak flew out of her mouth and she very slightly began jumping on her feet. “Right now though, I really need to see

the alpha of tour lycan district.”

“But the Lycan district is on the way, you have to pass the stage.” She whined causing me to roll my eyes, I just knew Freddie would be just like this when he turned this girls age, well he would have been if mom was still with him.

“Ok, lead the way then.” She quickly grabbed my hand and began to pull me along through the rest of the district. Another child, a boy quickly grabbed my other hand and I instantly became like a magnet for all the kids who lived here.

By the time we actually got to the stage, parents were trudging behind us keeping a close eye on their children while a group of about 30, all different ages surrounded me, happily talking and giggling away, with that Lily girl still clutching onto my hand. I was like a super nanny, or a teacher or something like

that.

I wouldn’t even mind, I’m not really all that child friendly, sure I was good with Freddie, but I’d practically helped raise him so knew everything about him. Other kids though, they were a mystery to

1. me.

“See…” Lily quickly stopped and gestured over to where the punishment stage lay. The two large oak poles designed to restrain your wrists had several large beams of wood nailed directly through the center creating a sort of shelving unit. On top of each shelf we’re large rectangle pots decorated with flowers of all colors. The stage had a large silk banner hung on it bringing forth a bewildering beauty that I didn’t think was possible for something designed to inflict torture. “It’s never once been used.”

I was in awe as I looked at the scenery in front of me. How many districts refused to conform to the rules set out by the king and his family? How many alphas refused to order the punishments of those who spoke against law? I was born in the wrong pack.

“It was only fitted because that was the law, Alpha Dalton never agreed to conform to the royal requests. The humans and wolves remain separated like the rest of the world, but we’ve never punished a human for speaking out of turn.” Owen added onto the girls declaration and smiled at my shock.

This was incredible. The sheer fact that

ks and districts could have been like this and instead I grew up in one that was more than happy to raise a whip, at anyone who so much as breathed wrong in front of a Lycan, had my mouth opening and closing like a fish as I stared at the floral arrangement not two feet away from me. “Of course, upon royal visits we turn everything back to a dictatorship, but typically the humans and wolves barely even interact.” My companion continued as I remained unmoving.

I’ll be the first to admit that it was still a long way quality, and the human district was still in fact clearly lacking compared to the Lycan district, but this wasn’t at all the worst way to live.

There was No fear of pain or maltreatment, and everyone was in essence able to continue their lives relatively normal. Supply’s were clearly still difficult to obtain, the royals did after all make it law that the human sector only receive a certain amount of supply’s each month, but this was nice. I just wish

Freddie could have grew up here instead.
