Chosen By The Moon
Chapter 237
“I’m curious to get to know what kind of seventeen year old used words like ‘perplexed“” Luna Trina chuckled as we walked up several flights of stairs, before finally stopping at the office.
“I’m actually eighteen now, and I suppose I’ve just gotten used to being formal.” I heard a small gasp come from Lewis who looked at me with nothing but guilt in his eyes. I frowned at the sudden emotion leading him to give me an explanation for it.
“We never got the chance to celebrate your birthday!” He spoke with a sad tone as I simply and sarcastically let out a single breathless laugh.
“I think there have been much bigger issues, than me aging. Don’t worry about it.” I mean I had collapsed on my birthday and had been unconscious ever since. There wasn’t much celebrating that could have been done. I shrugged my shoulders and sighed, taking a small deep breath before walking into the office after knocking on the door gently, with both Luna Trina and Lewis in tow.

“How long have you been the alpha of this pack for?” I questioned while the other two wolves in the room stood waiting to see exactly why I was asking this.
“My leadership is reaching eight years now.” Eight years meant even before the new world came in to fruition. So where had I heard his voice? The deep resonating natural echo it had, on top of his friendly tone, everything about it was comp familiar.
“You don’t have a cell phone by any chance do you?” He too was now frowning at my easy going interrogation, but he nodded and reached into the draw below his desk, he pulled out an old flip cellphone and placed it onto the desktop in front of me. I reached for it quickly and unlocked it with

the smuggling trade began.
“You’re G… I get it, G for Gilliard… you helped me to make and distribute the counterfeit milk tokens.” His eyes widened drastically as he looked me up and down in disbelief.
“You’re R?” He was very confused by this point not that I blamed him of course. “But what does the R stand for?”
