The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Mila)

I blinked up at Rowan, my heart going wild as I nodded my head softly. Before I could even grasp what he meant he quickly scooted me over, as if I weighed nothing at all. His arms wrapped around me gently as his long body barely even fit in the bed. He made sure to carefully place my iv aside so it wouldn’t snag.

His touch made my heart melt, the close proximity of him making fireworks burst inside of me, making me feel light and tingly. Having his body next to mine was beyond anything I had ever felt in my life, and I fought the urge to freak out. Instead, I bravely rested my head against his chest, breathing him in as a content sigh left me. I can’t believe I actually found my mate.

“You smell so good.” The words slipped from my mouth before I could stop myself as embarrassment filled me from my unfiltered honesty.

Rowan just chuckled softly, rubbing my back in a comforting motion and making me feel more at ease. Why was it so hard just to act normal?

“That’s how I was able to find you, your scent. It was unlike anything I had ever smelled before.” He breathed deeply, inhaling the space beside me as a soft m**n left him. Causing my eyes to widen from the sounds that escaped him. Whatever sound that was did something to me..something that I can’t even explain.

Rowan lowered his gaze, his eyes flashing black as his hand reached up, cupping my chin. His stare pierced my eyes, as his breathing grew ragged as if the wolf inside of him were trying to get out.

Without warning, his mouth crashed down into mine as surprise filled me. I had never truly kissed a man before..that disgusting rogue being my first and what Rowan was doing now definitely made up for that.

He bent down, his lips gliding against me in a delicate motion as his tongue slid out, brushing my bottom l*p sensually. Butterflies rushed through my stomach, fluttering wildly as I melted beneath his touch. My lips began to move instinctively, causing a sharp gasp to rush out of me as Rowan opened his mouth eagerly. Taking my bottom l*p into his mouth, he sucked on it gently while his teeth grazed my skin, making a jolt of pleasure shoot through me and settle between my legs. He began sliding his hand down, caressing my lower back as he cradled my waist with his large palm. M***s and whimpers vibrated from my lips as the need for more began to consume me.

“If you start doing that, I won’t be able to control myself, pretty mate.” He said gruffly, making me blink in surprise as he quickly pulled away, his eyes switching from black to his light blue once again.

“Sorry, my wolf, Bain..” Rowan whispered, looking away guiltily.

I could feel Calypso going wild, the way Bain spoke, and that k**s driving her mad, she loved it.

“My wolf Calypso seemed to like it.” I added shyly, causing Rowan to chuckle.

“You are still healing, we need to be careful, I don’t want to hurt you.” His words were firm and I soon realized it was more for his wolf than me.

I nodded my head, looking into his blue eyes as he bent down, kissing me much more gently this time. It didn’t make it any less impactful though as electricity surged through me from our joining lips. That spark lighting and warming me from deep within as I let out a shuddering breath.

“Kissing you..I have never felt anything like it.” He was breathless as our eyes locked onto one another while he gently brushed my cheek with his thumb.

Finally, that embarrassment found its way to me as I nuzzled into his chest, hiding my face before he could see my reddening cheeks. Being this close to a man I had just met seemed crazy. But knowing he was my chosen mate from the moon goddess herself made me realize it was meant to be. He let out a soft chuckle, pulling me closer to him as he sighed happily.

“I want to know everything about you, what you were like as a kid, how you grew up, your favorite food, everything.” He spoke softly, his touch gentle and his words full of curiosity. I felt so lucky to have such a kind mate.

“Well, I grew up in a cabin surrounded by the woods. So I spent a lot of my time outside. My dad was the one who taught me everything, we would do a lot of training and housework. I didn’t really ever go beyond the woods but what we had was more than enough for me.” I informed him quietly, trying to think of my life. What had I really done? I feel like my childhood was relatively good, other than being lonely, I had more good memories than bad. Rowan nodded, studying me as I spoke.

“My favorite food..hmm.” I looked up at the ceiling briefly as I thought, biting my l*p while in deep concentration. The action causing Rowan to grin as he watched me with amusement.

“Oh! I had this chocolate cake for my birthday once. It was the best thing I ever ate.” Right on cue as I was thinking of that incredible cake my stomach growled loudly, causing my cheeks to redden even more as I placed my hand over my stomach.

“I guess my mate is hungry.” Rowan declared with a chuckle.

“Let me call the nurse so we can get you something to eat. I bet they have chocolate cake.” He grinned at me with a bright smile.

“Really?!” I asked excitedly.

He nodded his head, brushing my hair from my face as he looked down at me.

“I will buy you a whole damn cake if you like.” His eyes smoldered as he spoke.

I giggled, actually giggled. My sounds exciting him as he slowly turned me on my back so I was now laying flat against the mattress.

“You are so f*****g adorable.” His smile widened as he bent down, kissing my nose gently.

I fluttered my eyes at him, smiling brightly and he growled, bending down before pressing his lips to mine tenderly. Our mouths fusing together as his warmth began to fill me, making my skin tingle and throb as he pulled away.

After a few minutes of catching my breath, I realized I wanted to know more about him too.

“So what about you? What was your childhood like?” I asked mere inches away from his lips, curious about this perfect man that I barely knew but felt like I had known my whole life.

“Oh you know, typical good boy who did nothing wrong…ever.” He smirked as I gave him a wry smile.

“So you mean the complete opposite of that then?” I laughed and he nuzzled his head between the crook of my neck, surprising me by this intimate gesture.

“I guess I better tell you before my brother does.” I felt his hot breath tickling my skin, causing my stomach to flip.

“Me and my friend Finn, we would get into a little trouble now and then. Then once Blake’s best friend Tristan got involved, we might have been bad influences.” He said with a chuckle.

“There is something I do need to tell you though..” A more serious tone filled his voice as he lifted his head and met my gaze nervously.

‘Oh no, he better not be married..’

I thought to Calypso, hearing her laugh as she began to pace.

‘Let’s just hear him out.’

She said reassuringly.

I bit my l*p anxiously, looking into his eyes as he rubbed the back of his neck. The action caught me off guard because it was hard not to admire his toned muscles that were now in display. Focus Mila..stay focused.

“Well, our pack here, Black Stone, you see..” he began, trailing off as he looked away.

I instinctively reached my hand out, cupping his face gently which caused him to press into me and close his eyes.

“Whatever it is, you can tell me.” I spoke calmly, showing him that he could trust me. Unsure of where my confidence even came from..but I wasn’t going to question it.

“Well, I am the Alpha of Black Stone.” His eyes opened, looking at me hesitantly.

‘Wait..what did he say?’

I linked to Calypso, shock filling me..he was..an Alpha?

‘I knew it, I told you darling, our Alpha, I knew we were destined for greatness.’

She howled inside of me, she was so loud I had to close the link to think straight.

“Alpha..” I mumbled quietly, trying to wrap the idea around my head.

I didn’t even know the first thing about what an Alpha truly did. I mean…I knew that they were the leader of a pack, the strongest in the pack to be exact. But, I had never even met an Alpha before. Now I was mated to one..wait, did that mean I was expected to be Luna? I began to feel my chest tighten, panic filling me as my heart started beating erratically. How the hell was I chosen to be an Alphas mate? Maybe the moon goddess really did give me the wrong wolf.
