Chapter 149

Dylan POV.

My anxiety was raging as me and Lewis made our way to alpha Gilliards office. I had made a decision, one that could blow up in my face and be rejected by everyone who may take our side in the upcoming battle, but still, I had done what was asked of me, and had every intention of doing what I could for the fight. Everyone was willing to sacrifice everything to project change, so it was only right for me to do the same.

As we walked through the pack house I could hear murmurs from the wolves present and I stopped in my tracks, turning to Lewis with squinted eyes. I had realized why people were talking, and secretly liked the fact that they were.

“They all know exactly what we did last night, don’t they?” My voice holding an amused yet accusing tone that had Lewis awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

“Erm, well, your scent has changed somewhat. So they probably suspect our… erm, actions.” My scent? I hadn’t even thought about that, my mind flashed to the conversation I had with Aria, after she had asked me why I let the king have relations with me, but wouldn’t accept his mark. Then only one question stopped dead in my mind, and I blurted it out before I could stop the words from materializing.

“Do I still have the kings scent on me?” In hind sight, that probably wasn’t the best question to ask a Lycan, who was obviously somewhat territorial over me. Little did he know that I had already accepted him entirely. He belonged with me just as much as I belonged with him.

Our own bond had slowly developed into something beautiful and equal, I had to admit that just seeing him bought a smile to my face, and calmed any nerves I may have had.

Lewis, let out a small growl at my question, but managed to quell it quickly, grabbing my palm with his own and pulling me into his chest and wrapping his arms around me, he placed a single kiss on my head before my head rose slightly to look him in the eye. He gave a devilish smile and looked down at me in his large arms.

“No, Josh’s scent is long gone. You’re mine Dylan, and your scent now reflects that.” His eyes flashed slightly possessively, before he even realized his own words. I never thought for one second how turned on hearing him say that would make me, but I felt my pussy leak slightly, which caused yet another small growl to leave him. This one, held nothing but lust.

Before I had time to comprehend where we were even stood, and how many people were in the same corridor we were in, Lewis’s lips captured my own, and I melted into it. His tongue quickly made itself known battling for dominance with my own. My own lustful frienzy kicked in, and I began using my arms, that had wrapped themselves around his neck, to pull him closer in to me. He was right, I was his, and he was mine.

I loved this man.

My eyes widened drastically at my thought process and I pulled away from him trying to catch my breath. I chuckled awkwardly and looked around, no one was paying any attention to us and yet, all I could feel were hundreds of pairs of eyes, staring at me as I tried to quell my arousal.

“We should, erm… I mean…” I cleared my throat in true Dylan fashion and looked down, noticing how crinkled and unkept my clothes had become. “Gilliard is waiting for us.” I quickly fixed the top that I was wearing as it had become slightly tousled while Lewis, sorted out the little, not so little, problem in his trousers that had obviously sprang to life at our very public display… I sighed though, turning to Lewis and smiling kindly at him causing a small frown to form on his face. “I’m happy though…” I stated quietly causing his frown of confusion to deepen, and his head to cock to the side, ever so slightly, forcing me to stifle a giggle. “I’m glad people know that you’re mine.” I stated, walking in front of him quickly and not looking back.

I didn’t want to see his expression, I couldn’t take it if he showed anger or something like that, I just knew that I would gladly walk around sharing his scent. I guess all of my old friends were right about one thing… It was impossible to deny your mate once they had found you.

Lewis, did respond to my words. Not that I wanted him to, I just needed his to know how I felt, without explicitly stating the obvious three words that I wanted to say, but that just wouldn’t come out. He simply and silently followed me through the pack house, while his loud yet unspoken questions boomed over the corridor until we reached Gilliards door.

I knocked thrice on the wood and waited for him to reply to my knocking with a small come in, which I did as soon as his reply met my ears. I didn’t wait for the ex beta to follow, because I knew he wasn’t at all far behind me.

“Good morning, Dylan… Lewis, how are you both on this fine day?” Ok… he knew, there was no way he didn’t know. He smug expression told me everything and I sighed, smiling but already fed up with the amount of questions I was going to get, in the short time I had been here, I had noticed that although they were cousins, Lewis and Gilliard acted much more like brothers.

“We’re fine Gill.” Gill hummed jokingly at his cousins tense reply, then glanced down at Lewis’s pants.

“Well, you two are fully in the lovey doves stage aren’t you? I’m surprised to see you here at all if I’m honest, when I first found Trina we locked ourselves in my room for four days.” He chuckled, obviously thinking back to his initial meeting of his mate.

“Dylan has something she wants to run by you, before we take it to the other packs and rebellions.” Lewis disregarded what Gill had said only moments ago and went straight to business, his tone whenever he was being stern always enthralled me but never had his voice caused arousal in me. It felt like I was in heat, I need Lewis, and I wanted nothing more than to be wrapped around him, naked…

I released a very small moan which caused my eyes to widen and a small cough made its way out of my mouth in an attempt to cover up my lust, I saw Lewis step towards me slightly with yet another growl on his lips, but I shook my head slightly and quickly changed the subject.

“Oh… erm yeah, I wanted to ask your opinion on something.” I stated clenching my legs together and swallowing thickly at the atmosphere I had caused.

“Ok… but the next time one of you make any indication of arousal, I’m kicking you both out before you jump each other’s bones in my office.” He chuckled and his words caused my cheeks to flare a deep red. We wouldn’t do that, I had some self respect. I shook my head and sighed refusing to meet Lewis’s eye line again for the remainder of the little meeting I had wanted.

“Anyway… it’s about what alpha Dalton said…” Gilliards ears pricked up instantly at my words and he sat up straight in his chair, all hints of amusement were gone from his features and in its place was a look, that was solely focused on me.

“About how he would make a decision once you have.” I nodded my head and sighed already knowing I was about to completely sacrifice some of my freedom for the sake of the rebellion.

“Everyone wants to see me on the throne, right? The wolves think the moon goddess chose me to be queen and the humans think my resolve against the king makes me the ideal candidate!” I stated slightly pacing the floor where I stood. My hands shook a little as I thought about things, my mind solely on my idea. It could work. “What if I temporarily took up leadership after the king, while we hold an election for the true ruler?!”

“An election?!” I nodded my head and stopped pacing my hands found their way to the desk and they rested on it slightly.

“When I went to Alpha Daltons pack, I met the mayor of the human district, he was elected to relay any information to Alpha Dalton. The human district and the Lycan district are completely separate, and so the humans held an election to decide who would handle all interactions. It was a good system and it actually gave me the idea.” I explained to the men in the room. “I think it would work for the new king or queen to be chosen by the people. I think it would be beneficial to have not one sole ruler but multiple. Each country choosing and having its own ruler and using them to come together maybe once a year or something to converse on matters.”

I had obviously already spoken to Lewis about this, but Gilliard was the opinion I needed. Lewis was always going to support me, but he was bias, whereas I knew Gilliard would give me his genuine opinion.

“How would the candidates be chosen though?” His thoughts were going through his head faster than I ever thought they would. of the election?” I sighed, I had thought about this also, but it was Lewis who actually came up with the most fair plan of action.

“We thought the people could nominate.” Lewis admitted from behind me. “We’ll count each and every nomination and the four individuals with the highest amount of nominations will campaign for the title of ruler. This will be the case for all the other countries also.” Contemplation, was the only thing on Gilliards face, his eyebrows knitted together in a frown and his lips pursed in thought.

“What if you two are among the candidates chosen?” My eyes grew slightly wide at this thought, I guess I hadn’t exactly thought of everything. Although, there were millions of people in America alone, I doubt I would be one of the four chosen.

“I’m very much doubting I will even make it through the battle, but, if that were to happen then we would accept our fate, and lead people to the best of our abilities.” I felt Lewis’s hand gently squeeze my shoulder and it caused me to sigh. The feeling of his hand causing sparks to shoot through me.

“Your idea is quite sound actually. I think many people will agree… you should present this to Alpha Dalton and see where his opinion lies.” I nodded my head and smiled, this could actually work, an election is both just and fair, it’s not relying on hierarchy or legitimacy, it’s completely the choice of people. “This could be the idea that sways him to provide us with aid from his pack.”

“It’s a brilliant idea.” Lewis whispered into my ear before kissing my temple. My knees went week at the simple gesture and I finally turned to meet his eyes, yet again arousal flooded the room from the pair of us.

“It’s a good plan… now get out and get a room that’s not my office.” Gilliard was smiling from ear to ear which made me giggle slightly.

“That is an even better plan.” Lewis quickly threw me over his shoulder, enticing laughter, and marched straight back to our room. It was about time I accepted the pleasures of intimacy instead of being so worried.

And we did enjoy ourselves… for two days straight.
