Chosen By The Moon



"You can't seriously expect me to be tied up for my first shift?" However her gaze told me everything I needed to know. She fully intended for that to be the case. "You want me to die in chains?! After everything you have put me through?"All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"You're not going to die, but you do need to be out under the light of the goddess, and I can't run the risk of you attempting escape. Not to mention No one knows how strong you're going to be. It's simply precaution, I know you understand that, my love." I most certainly did not understand. I was going to shift, and I was going to shift that night, my first ever shift.

History speaks of a forced marking as a death sentence, and I am already aware of just how lucky I was to have even survived the initial bite. There was absolutely no way in hell I would survive the shift if I was shackled to the ground like a common dog.

"You'll be fine. Now come along..." She grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me along however I snatched my limb back, not accepting her attempt. "My love, it's important to get you into position before the shift starts, now come!" She was getting frustrated by my lack of movement and instead allowed her eyes to cloud over, alerting me to the fact that she was mindlinking someone. Before I could even ask who, two large warriors walked in and stalked towards me causing more fear to shoot through my bones.

"Why are you doing this to me?!" I practically shouted at my so called mate as the two men dragged me out of the room. "Please don't do this. I won't run I swear it? Can I please have one bit of peace before I die?" I was acting crazy.

I was kicking and screaming as I was dragged very awkwardly down about fifty flights of steps and out into the gardens. My sight met that of the large hedged maze and the single silver colored cuff that was deeply embedded into the ground and with it my heart sank.

"You're going to be fine my love..."

she paused feeling yet another bout of Braxton hicks, which are essentially false contractions. Her Here hands went to her stomach to cup the stretched skin, before looking backup at me as I was thrown onto the floor. "The full moon will be out in an hour or two, and I'll be here with you until the shift actually starts."

The cuff was secured around my ankle and I sighed, something was off about the whole thing though, the second the metal touched my skin a searing pain took over, as if the shackle had been heated and was now burning my flesh.

"Fuck!" I whispered out, my hands moved to attempt to get it off but it resulted in my finger tips being burnt. "This is silver?! You're chaining me up using actual silver."

"Well, I didn't think it would affect you until you completed the shift. Don't worry my love, I am more than confident that you will survive. The moon goddess put us together for a reason, and it wasn't for you to die a month after I marked you." I growled a little, the sound a bit more animalistic than I had thought it would be, I hated feeling this way.

I was basically stuck in limbo. I wasn't yet a wolf, but I was no longer human. And I knew I wasn't. My hearing was better than it had ever been, my reflexes were faster and silver was now one of my weaknesses. I was a mutant.

I wasn't at all as confident as she

was, in fact the only good thing to come out of all this would be the definite end of my suffering. All these years of being held captive by a lady who couldn't care if I was suffering, would come to an abrupt end.
