Chosen By The Moon
Chapter 289
Dylan POV.
I drove in silence, my mind doing nothing but flashing back to the death of my father. I was going to be on edge all night now, I just knew it.
I could feel Lewis glancing at me every few seconds out of worry, I had just killed someone, yet, the shake in my hands were from anger and not from guilt.
“I’m ok, Lewis.” I sighed keeping my hands firmly squeezing the steering wheel in front of me, my knuckles were turning white from the tightness of them. I gritted my teeth and looked out at the calm night sky. The practically full moon shone so bright that even I couldn’t help but marvel at its tranquil beauty, while the thousands of stars that danced around it, shone down on us, providing a phantom warmth from to flow through me.
“You did what that man wanted. He was in pain and he asked you… Lewis, didn’t have to justify my actions to me, I would do them again in a heartbeat, and so I sighed again and glanced at him, taking my eyes off the path ahead of me for a split second.
“I know! I’m ok, really.” I stared a little bit too long at the man beside me and the truck veered left, my eyes widened and a small squeal left my lips as I quickly turned the wheel right to straighten the car
out. “Teez!”
“How new are you to driving? Lewis asked before grabbing the small handle that rested on the roof of the truck over where he was sitting.
“I told you, I can’t drive. I don’t know why you let me behind this wheel. I stated quickly looking over the dash board at the numerous buttons and levers.
“I’m starting to wonder that myself.” I rolled my eyes but half heartedly smiled at his attempt to ease the tension. My knuckles still clutched onto the wheel tightly, even more so now that I was hyper aware of my speed and trajectory.
By the time we made it back to the pack house it was eerily quiet. Everyone was asleep in bed or patrolling the grounds. I didn’t know what to do with the body in the back of the truck, so I looked to Lewis for help.
“What do we do with him?” I asked sadly as I stared at the closed rear doors in front of me. “I can’t just
leave him in there.”
I felt a pang of sadness wash over me again as I thought about his final moments. How in pain he must have been, how 1, of all people, was his only comfort. I felt the phantom touch of his once warm hand on mine as it clutched at me tightly.

Chapter 289
“I’ll tell the pack doctor to come and get him.” Lewis stated, the man was at rest now, I wanted him to
bee comfortable.
“I’ll wait here until the doctor comes. You should go in, and get some rest. I knew he wasn’t going to. I knew that there was no way Lewis was going to leave me alone, not after everything that had happened tonight.
It felt almost like a punishment… after what transpired between me and Lewis intimately, I thought I was finally on my way to being happy, on my way to actually be content with things, and then this happened… I just don’t think I’m destined for pleasure.
“I’ll stay here with you then. It’s a nice night, and I’m enjoying the view with the girl I love. What more could I ask for?” Lewis was a rare diamond in a sea filled with coal. He was like my helium, all he had to do was speak and I began feeling lighter than I had previously. I watched as his eyes glazed over slightly, and his look became distant. I had no doubt he was mindlinking the doctor about what had transpired.
I found it so fascinating watching him mind link someone up close. His eyes were a bit creepy actually. They didn’t move at all, they simply remained staring into the distance, they were eerily unblinking yet very captivating. I couldn’t turn away.
