Chosen By The Moon

Gilliards POV.

I watched the girl in front of me fire my gun off in three consecutive shots, and couldn't stop my jaw from going slack at the accuracy she showed. She was of course even more confused and shocked than I was, but I couldn't help but gaze at her prowess, in the few weeks I had known her, she had grown so much, she'd gone from being trapped in this shell of despair, to being ready to lead the charge. It was a sight to behold.

She began explaining what she thought the moon goddess had granted her, then fired yet another bullet directly into the clock that rested on my wall, once again it was a perfect bullseye.

"What on earth are you talking about... and can you please stop shooting my office up?" Don't get me wrong. I was glad to see her being so competent with a firearm. It was reassuring to know that she just might be able to hold her own in the battle against the king. It'll be a weight off of Lewis's shoulders also, knowing thats she has knowledge around a weapon.

"I think... Gilliard... I think the moon goddess gave me the knowledge of the old hunters!" That made a lot of sense. Her skills with the gun were incomparable, and really had come out of nowhere. I will admit, I had seen her shoot before, and she was never truly all that bad, but her precision now really was unmatched.

"Why do you think that though? Just because you can shoot?" I watched her shake her head and let her gaze meet that of my now shattered vases.

"I... I read this book in the palace,

het

well half read the book, it was all about the first Lycan ruler and his people. It was extremely dull and very difficult to get into, but it briefly mentioned the first hunters, the adjacent village to the first wolf pack grew weary and formed the first hunters guild. I'm telling you, l-l-held that gun and new all about it. I knew how to shoot it perfectly, andI have ideas about making weapons that I never would have thought of before. I genuinely feel like I know more about the lycanthrope than I did previously and in my head I genuinely know how to hunt your kind, and I've never ever thought about that before. I'm telling you, I have the knowledge of a hunter." The more I thought about it. The more I assumed she was right, we already had previous hunters living here and watching them shoot was very similar to watching Dylan just now.

"Ok, let's say that you do have this new found knowledge, how the hell is that supposed to help us in this upcoming battle?" We already have hunters in our ranks, adding one extra won't be much of a difference.

"I'm not sure you know, I doubt the moon goddess would have given me this knowledge of it wasn't going to make a difference." Once again like before, she had inadvertently used mind link, hearing me clearly say what was actually only thought. It was strange to say the least, but it was good to know that she would be able to communicate with everyone on our side when the time comes to fight. Especially if we're in wolf form and need to speak with her on the field. "Think about it... Realistically I'm the one who could get close enough to the king without immediately being killed. The only person on this side who actually has the ability to do something permanent is the king. No one else can kill me, All his lackeys can do is drag me to him. I can get close to him and kill him! Now that I think I have the knowledge of a hunter, it'll make that task a whole lot easier."

"But the king plans to mark you as soon as he gets close enough to, I don't think it's wise for you to get too close to him. Your presence in the battle is set in stone, but Lewis is one of the strongest lycans I know. If anyone has a shot at killing king Josh, it is him." My personal belief was that Lewis had earned the right to take the king down, he had the most history with him, hell he even lost his mate to him in the past, of course, Lewis did kind of play a part in that, the rejection was basically mutual it was just instigated by Iliana.
