Chapter 0218


    Chosen By The Moon


    “I’m sorry…” I genuinely was really sorry, this man had gone through something even worse than I


    had, he was upbeat, and lively, but his eyes held more pain and betrayal than his words could


    confess. “I can not imagine what you must be going through, right now.” He met my own orbs in


    shock at how sincere I was being, he must have been unfamiliar with receiving empathy, and on


    that note, I could definitely rte to him. “The choice to be marked… well, that is the only thing that


    we have a say in, it’s the only thing in our power to control, but that waspletely taken from


    you.”


    “It’s my own fault for letting my guard down. I was starting to ept her slowly, if she had waited a


    few more months, I don’t think she would have had to force me.” So even this man found it difficult


    to deny his bond with her.


    “Never me yourself. You are supposed to be able to let your guard down with the people you like.


    You shouldn’t have to fear the possibility of being attacked by the person who ims they like you.


    None of this, is your fault.” The entire time I was speaking to him my sight wandered over to his


    shoulder, my curiosity eating away at me to discover what a non consented mark bite, looked like. I


    doubted it would take on a slight pattern like a typical marking would.


    “If it’s spoken by you, your grace, then I will just have to believe it.” The admiration in his eyes was


    enough to leave me slightly shocked. I still couldn’t understand why some people thought so highly


    of me. I hadn’t done anything except be a human punching bag, and yet the support some people


    showed me was the most honorific thing I could have received. “Can I ask you a question, your


    grace?” I frowned, unsure whether his question would be one that I was able to answer. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Of course, after everything, I think the least I can do is answer a question or two.” I let a friendly


    smile grace my lips, as I looked at the man. He swallowed thickly and gripped his book slightly


    tighter in his grasp before speaking his


    query.


    “How did you do it?” I had absolutely no clue at all what he was talking about, again, he must have


    sensed my own unspoken inquiry. “How did you reject him, how did you deny the mate bond for so


    long? I mean… You escaped, you found your way here. So how did you do it? How did you stay


    yourself while being with him?” I had no idea what he was talking about, denying the king wasn’t


    difficult at all, in fact, I’d go as far as to say it was the easiest thing I had to do while residing in the


    pce.


    “I’m not sure I can answer that.” My fingers quickly began to fiddle its each other as I began to


    exin my aversion to the question at hand. “For me, Being with the king was never a question or a


    possibility, it was actually pretty easy to reject him and his ideals.”


    “But how? Whenever I’m around my mate, I’m disgusted by her, and yet my body longs for her. She


    may be a wolf, and I may hate her, but god do I want her.” I frowned again, it was never difficult, not


    once did I want to be in his presence, I never wanted to even say his name, the very word used to


    bring bile to my throat. “Did you never feel… I don’t know how to describe it…” The man must have


    been confused, surly if you hated someone so much you would wouldn’t have any longing for them


    at all. “When he touched you, did you not feel the electric shocks, like your body’s would merge


    together if you stayed connected for too long? Did he truly never make you feel ted?” He


    frowned, almost as if he couldn’t understand me at all, while I began to drown in my thoughts.
