Chosen By The Moon
Chapter 239
Although, I admit seeing peoples baffled yet impressed faces when they found out about just how much shit I actually used to get up to, always made me feel conflicted about everything, I really had only acted out of self interest at the start, and I was treated like a savior.
“Are you considered a genius? You know, naturally gifted at things.” Now the Luna was referring to me as a genius. It did feel great in honesty, however their pride felt somewhat misplaced, I hadn’t done anything completely worthy of their honor.
“Not by a long shot.” It was easy to admit that I was subpar at everything in my life except organizing and creating. ‘I honestly think I’m just resourceful, and know how to adapt. Plus at the time that I forged the milk tokens, I had reached a whole new level of desperation. I think it’s amazing the lengths a person can go to when their situation has forced them.”
“Speaking of age, has anyone ever told you that you’re wise beyond your years?” I personally felt like when someone goes through events that induce trauma, it definitely makes you see things in different ways. I also think it forces you to age yourself mentally so that you have the capacity to regulate yourself.
“Are you asking me about before, or after I became the kings personal punching bag?” I chuckled only to be met with three different stares, one which came from Lewis, that screamed nothing but guilt and regret, the lunas showed only horror and the alpha simply looked impressed by my nonchalance. “Sorry, I tend to tackle things using sarcasm.” It wasn’t the first time I had admitted what my default setting was. “Anyway, onto more pressing matters. I need to run something by you, the issue is, I haven’t exactly told the council about it yet.”
The alpha let out a deep chuckle and walked back over to his desk, before sitting down at it. “The council have nothing to do with the rebellion, they just know about us and aid us with the smuggling. They only really deal with the sanctuary.” What? What exactly was the sanctuary and why had I been placed there for so long then. It was almost as if the alpha had read my mind because he was quick to answer my unspoken question. “The sanctuary that you’ve been living in, is simply there for families and people that possess great assets that will be used in the months to come, so they are kept safe and out of the main line of fire, should our operations become compromised.”
“So why the fuck was I sent there then? I could have come straight to this pack, and gotten on with things that needed attention. Like, I don’t know, the looming inevitable war that is about to hit us.” The alpha seemed a little perplexed at how to word his next sentence, however after a slight pause to gather his thoughts he proceeded.
“It was deemed too dangerous for you to come here, taking into account what your mental state was like then.” My mental state was no better now than it was then, in fact I was more vengeful back then, mere out for blood. Not that I wasn’t now, it’s just I’ve also found some form of solace in Lewis.

“Too dangerous for who? What did you think I was going to do?!” The luna quickly interjected with her
