Chosen By The Moon

Chapter 0204

Dylan POV.

Well, happy birthday to me!

Yes, the day was my 18th birthday, my first birthday waking up completely alone. Freddie wasn't there to jump on top of me shouting the song happy birthday at the top of his voice... my mom wasn't there to give me a huge hug or wish me a good day. Nick wasn't going to pop around to give me eighteen birthday digs like usually did. There was nothing but a silent and empty RV.

Also, Despite feeling like a new person with an actual goal other than moping around and waiting for something to happen, I barely slept a wink.

It made no sense.

I had always slept just fine on my own, I never even used to like Freddie climbing into my bed after a nightmare or something, and now, you would think I could sleep better being completely on my own after everything king Josh had put me through, but I just couldn't. No matter how hard I tried last night, sleep just wouldn't find me. I found myself thinking about Lewis, and how much comfort he provided me just by being in his presence. I had never slept as well as I did the other night with him. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Every time I would think about him my heart would begin to race and my palms would get all sweaty. I found the man extremely attractive, and the fact that he was willing to do anything within his power to help me was a real turn on. I suppose you could say I had a school girl crush. My first crush at that.

I was at one point fairly certain that I could never be with anyone ever again after everything that had happened. However Lewis, might be the exception. No one else made me feel a safe and

wanted as he did. He was a genuine ray of sunshine in my otherwise really shitty life. I wondered what he was up to right now, probably something outdoors, he spent most of his time there.

I slipped on some thin leggings and a t-shirt and began a small jog, the first thing to do would be to get my stamina back up preferably to even better than it was before I went to the palace. I planned to go jogging around the lake at least twice a day. Naturally I was out of breath in no time, I don’t even think 2 minutes had past by properly, I hadn’t realized how bad my actual stamina had gotten. Although I had spent most of my time in the palace either isolated in a dungeon cell or in the hospital wing getting medical treatment, so I was bound to get out of breath quickly.

“Don’t push yourself too hard will you?” I heard a voice call out which prompted me to turn to the source. Elias, Lewis dad stood staring at me while holding a small cup of water in his right hand. “Here, you need this more than I do.” He chuckled while holding his cup out in front of him for me to take. Naturally I did and drank the entire contents in less than twenty seconds.

“Thank you.” I smiled awkwardly at the man as he just stared at my face. He frowned and squinted before finally asking the question that was on his mind.

“Did you not sleep well?” Ahhh, I should have known he would notice to be honest. Lewis had to get his intuition from somewhere, although thinking about it, I had yet to meet his mom… not that I would force him to introduce me, that would just be weird.

“Ahh, not really. I got carried away watching the news and my mind became too active.” Poor Elias widened his eyes at this revelation and he took a small step forward.

“Your grace, you shouldn’t be watching the news, what’s being broadcasted, well let’s just say it doesn’t show the king in the best light.” Huh? I had only really seen the news footage of the sixteen stages burning, I hadn’t even thought about any other. We’d articles that may have been transmitting. I wonder what king Josh was doing for Lewis’s dad to be concerned about me watching it.
