Chosen By The Moon (Dylan) novel Chapter 2

Dylan POV

My eyes groggily opened as I sat up, my neck aching from lying on my stomach on a hard wooden table, and my back stinging. I looked down at my once naked torso to find a large bandage, perfectly wrapped around my entire torso covering my exposed breasts as well.

Looking outside I noticed the sun slowly making its ascent, an orange hue tinging the early morning sky. I sucked in a breath before allowing my feet to take my weight, almost instantly toppling over in the process.

I noticed a small glass of water placed next to me and took it in my hand, greedily drinking every last drop. Realizing I had to get ready for school, I walked over to write a note for Sheila explaining how grateful I was that she helped me and where I’ve gone. I slowly walked up the hill to my house, once I got indoors I went straight to my room and grabbed my uniform.

After the lycans took over they initiated the rule that all humans must wear a certain uniform, and all wolves can express their individuality. Humans uniform consisted of a long sleeved grey button up, high neck top, and grey pants, on our feet we wore simple black flat shoes. One of my friends in school asked to wear a skirt in stead, and she was placed in iron and paraded through the streets, naked except for a single skirt around her waist.

The lycanthrope species are a disgusting and humiliating race.

Once I was dressed I headed off, the 20 minutes it takes to get to school ended up taking almost half an hour, due to the throbbing pain in my back. Once I got to the human entrance I realized I was late.

“Name, and year!” The lycan in charge of human attendance spoke, his eyes boring into mine as he commanded me. Due to the rules, I bent my head in submission to the wolf as he looked at the electronic tablet in his hands.

“Dylan Riley, senior year.” He quickly tapped away on his pad before roughly pulling my arm towards him, the movement caused me to wince, as he injected me with the clear liquid that neutralizes any traces of wolfsbane, that may be in our system.

“Get to class immediately, one more late and you’ll be joining in with gym class.” My eyes widened at the threat, humans don’t have gym class, the wolves feel that we shouldn’t be encouraged to get stronger. By joining gym I would basically be target practice for them.

“Noted!” The sarcasm dripping in my voice caused me to snap my head up, the lycanthrope are a very temperamental race, and I just broke one of the rules. My entire stance changed as I realized I can’t take another punishment yet.

“Get to class, scum, before I drag you there” I nodded my head quickly before walking off, down the corridor to the human section of school. Luckily on the way I only passed one of their species, I lowered my head as I continued to walk. Once there I knocked on the door and waited for our human teacher to tell me to enter.

I walked through the door and everyone’s heads snapped to me. “Dylan? Why are you in?” One of the girls asked, I smiled tiredly and turned to the teacher.

“I’m sorry I’m late.” Mr Foley shook his head before telling me to take a seat. He turned back to the board to continue lesson, just as I thought he would start, he turned back to me.

“You don’t need to apologize.” I nodded my head in thanks. “What happened yesterday Dylan?” I sighed, knowing I was going to have to explain.

“My brother, Freddie, disrespected the alpha, it was either him or me.” I shrugged before turning my head away from the teacher.

“Where was your mom?” My head turned to Erin who was sat near the front of the class, on the left hand side where all mated human students sit, with her stupid mark on full show for everyone to see.

“Non of your business. Wolf fucker.” I growled out, causing the teacher to look at me shocked.
