The Luna’s Hidden Destiny – Chapter 16
I suppressed a growl that was forming deep within me. Jealousy rising as I smelled her scent. She smelled like peaches and something floral, I wondered is Rowan preferred her scent more. Wow she was gorgeous.
‘Don’t even go there.’
Calypso growled angrily.
‘Sorry.’
I shot back quickly, so no one would see I was talking to my wolf. I looked again to examine her closely as she began to speak.
“Oh you know I have to keep up with our boys.” She said with a bright smile.
That pissed me off..our boys?! Did she mean Rowan and Blake? I felt Laura’s arm tighten slightly, obviously feeling annoyed with what she said too.
“Yes, of course, I think it’s fantastic they are opening up the training courses for everyone in the pack.” Laura seemed to be drawing the attention away from me. I noticed she didn’t introduce me first so I decided not to say anything.
“Yes, Rowan and I have been working extensively together on the project.” The way she said this made Calypso go wild.
‘She wants our mate, she thinks she can have him. Look at the way she is standing, how over confident she is. She is trying to make her claim. Claim him, Mila..tell her who you are.’
She growled at me. I was surprised by how possesive she was being. It wasn’t usually like her, but I agreed with her completely.
Her eyes now turned to me.
“I don’t think we have met, who are you?” She asked curiously, her eyes flashing as she looked me up and down.
Laura was about to speak when I extended my hand forward, going to shake hers.
“My name is Mila, I am Rowan’s mate.” I said confidently, shaking her hand as she froze.
“His..his mate?” She looked between Laura and me, here hand jerking back as she tried to compose herself.
“Yes, we weren’t going to announce anything officially until Mila was feeling better. But now that she has fully recovered I think it’s time.” Laura spoke assuredly, her eyes meeting mine as they sparkled.
Chloe stood there stunned, her eyes now examining me thoroughly as she looked me up and down.
“We better get going though, doctors orders to keep her walking.” Laura began pulling me forward.
“Of course..nice to see you as always Luna.” Chloe said between clenched teeth, unable to move as we walked past her.
Laura looked down at me beaming, happiness radiating from her as we walked on.
“I think you just made my week.” She whispered as we rounded the corner.
I couldn’t help but smile back as we both began to laugh together. After walking some more we soon came up to a clearing. To the left was a stone bench with dried up bushes all around it. I bet this place would truly be gorgeous in the summer. We sat down and I sighed, running into Chloe and feeling that jealousy threw me off. Of course they were together before me. It just kind of sucked..I literally had no one before Rowan, but here..everytime I see a woman I will wonder if they slept together. I know it truly doesn’t matter but it didn’t help that Chloe was gorgeous.
“I’m guessing you already knew about Chloe?” Laura glanced at me, seeing I was lost in thought.
I nodded my head, looking down at my hands.
“I know its natural, and I can’t blame him, I just feel so..inexperienced.” I was really unloading on Laura today.
She took my hand, smiling softly.
“That’s the beautiful thing about the mating bond. It’s unlike anything in this world, a true gift from the goddess. Two people made for eachother perfectly. That’s why you feel those sparks, why you can’t get enough of eachother. Because it’s only meant to be you two for the rest of your lives. And I can tell you from personal experience, I still feel those sparks today, thirty years later.” She squeezed my hand, making me feel so much better.
“So even though Rowan might of had..some experience before you. Those were nothing compared to what he will share with you, and it will never be the same again. You are the only one that can make him feel that way in this whole world.” Laura watched me closely as I smiled.
“Thank you..I never really had anyone to talk to about this stuff. It was just weird to do that with my dad..so he bought me a book.” I laughed, causing Laura to laugh with me.
“Seems like the typical male thing to do.” She smiled brightly as we both looked up at the clear winter sky.
The sun was shining but the cold air enveloped us. I tried not to think of anything as we sat outside, soaking up whatever sun we could get as we sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes.
Suddenly a loud growl rumbled from nearby, startling me as my eyes snapped open. I stood slowly, that smell, that lovely familiar smell filled my senses.
“Oh really son, you had to make Bain come find her?” Laura said wryly.
Bain growled once more, stepping out of the trees shadows. Revealing a huge silver wolf that now towered above me, his eyes light blue and his fur glistening in the sun. He came back.
‘Our mate, our wolf.’
Calypso purred, the sheer size of him driving her wild. He was massive.
I continued to walk forward, seeing our mate and his magnificent wolf before me. My hand reaching out as Bain stared at me intently.
“Bain.” I whispered, my voice causing him to shudder as he closed his eyes.
A low rumble left him, not from anger, but from relief. My hand finally reached him, his large head nuzzled into me as I wrapped my arms around his wide neck, letting him breath me in.
“You are remarkable..” I said against his soft shimmering fur. Suddenly he began licking my cheek, nuzzling into me as I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘Let me out, please Mila, please let me meet our mate.’
Calypso begged, I suddenly looked back at Laura, her smile was wide as she nodded to me.
“I will meet you back at the house later.” She said happily, winking at me as she began walking away.
Suddenly Bain turned, leading me into the woods as he sat back by a tree, watching me closely. I definitely didn’t want to ruin my new clothes, so I began to slowly take them off. Surprisingly I felt comfortable with Bain watching.
I pulled my sweater over my head, revealing my chest as my bra barely covered my full breasts. To be fair, the bra might of been a cup too small. I had to be a D-cup now since growing this past year. Next I bent down, taking my shoes and socks off, my eyes not leaving Bain once. I could feel Calypso going wild, pacing and panting inside my mind, begging to get out. I hope this time is a lot easier than the last. I stood, unbuttoning my pants and lowered them, standing now only in my bra and panties. I reached back, unhooking my bra as I let it slide down, freeing my full breasts, my nipples hardening instantly. Bain growled now, standing as his eyes burned into me. I reached for my panties, slipping my fingers in the waist band as I slipped them off. Bain began to circle me, eyeing every inch of my naked body before him. If this was Rowan standing in front of me..I wasn’t so sure I would of hand the confidence to bare myself infront of him.
‘Ready Calypso?’
I asked, receiving only a howl in response.
I crouched down, slipping into the back of my mind, letting my wolf have her freedom, to meet her mate. This transformation went so much easier than the last, as if my body remembered. Don’t get me wrong, it was still painful, but this time was much faster. I sat back, letting Calypso have her moment as she emerged, her golden fur shining as Bain howled. Excitement filling him as the two wolves met for the first time. He seemed so protective of her already, the way he nuzzled her, licking her softly. She sat there, letting him dote on her as she gazed at him prettily. Damn she was good, she had such a presence about her. Once she stood, she looked back at him. I could feel her smiling internally and then she took off.
‘Let’s see if he can keep up.’
She said, her pace fast as Bain bounded behind her.
His breathing heavy as they began running though the forest, their playful side coming out as she began hiding from him. Outpacing him each time. Then she reached forward nipping at his feet as he rolled her over. Licking her sweetly, he was so tender with her, so gentle and loving. Seeing our wolves so happy filled my heart with pure joy. They must of been running for hours, the air still cold but the sun higher now. They didn’t mate this time, I think because they knew there was still some confusion between me and Rowan, but I felt they wanted to. At least Bain did, he was following Calypso around like a lost puppy. We walked back to the clearing with my clothes and I quickly formed back. Just then Rowan formed before me. His naked body shimmered from the sun that broke through the trees canopies. I saw his eyes wandering down, seeing all of me for the first time in person. I reached for my clothes, pulling my panties on first as he watched me intently, not saying a single word. Once my panties were on I did my bra next, then my pants and shoes. I was about to put on my sweater when Rowan finally opened his mouth, stepping forward.
“Mila, your wolf..you both are so incredible.” He said breathlessly, taking another step. I met his eyes, not sure what to say as I finally pulled my sweater on.
“Bain seems to be happy.” I whispered, and before I knew it Rowan rushed to me, his arms reaching out as his muscular body crashed into me. Obviously not caring that he was naked.
“I’m sorry, please forgive me.” He said quickly, confusion filling me as I tried to pull away to look at him but he held me firmly in place.
“Forgive what?” I asked against his hard bare chest. My heart sank for a moment, was he going to reject us?
“For running..for freaking out..all of it. Everything is just all so new. I promise..I won’t leave your side again. And if you don’t want to be Luna that’s fine, if you want to move away from here that’s fine too. Whatever you want to do, I will follow you. You are the most important thing to me now.” His words came tumbling out and shock filled me..I forced myself back, making him look into my eyes. He was worried about that this whole time. That I didn’t want this?
“Rowan, I never said I didn’t want to be Luna, or not live here. It was all just a lot to take in at once. So far Black Stone has been amazing. Well, the two things I have seen have been.” I said with a shy smile and he couldn’t help the smile that reached his own lips.
“I want to be with you, and being Luna, I just don’t want to let anyone down. But your mom told me something that I never thought of before. The moon goddess put us together for a reason. She must of saw something in me that is able to lead this pack..if you want me that is.” I said, unable to continue as he interrupted me abruptly.
“Of course i want you, i have wanted you from the moment I saw you.” He breathed out, I could see how eager he was to prove his point. His hands clutched my bare back tightly.
I reached up, resting my palm against his cheek as he looked down at me.
“I know..everything is all still early and new, and I would like to learn a lot more before accepting being your Luna officially, but I do want to..accept it that is..” suddenly Rowan crashed into me, his lips meeting mine as desperation filled him.
I felt how much he missed me, how horrible he felt and how hard it was to be away. We both had it bad..that’s for sure. After pulling away I began to speak once more.
“And about leaving..I just want to find my dad, that’s the only thing I’m missing, and if he decides not to stay here, that’s okay. We can figure it out and visit him wherever he decides to stay.” He suddenly picked me up, spinning me around excitedly.
“That’s all I needed to hear, that you wanted to stay with me. F**k Mila, I missed you so much. I was worried this wasn’t what you wanted, that It was all too much. Then I thought I ruined everything by staying away the past few days..I’ve been a complete idiot. I’m sorry.” He pressed his lips against mine once more. This k**s was much more gentle, as he tenderly moved against me. I felt him beneath me, his hard length pressing into my stomach. My eyes widened as I looked down.
“I told you I missed you.” He chuckled, pressing into me and growled.
“I need to get you into my bed now.” He quickly picked me up, causing me to yelp as he cradled me into his arms.
“Rowan, your clothes, someone might see you.” I said while burying my head into his chest.
“I don’t care, let them see.” He said continuing to walk. I growled possesivly, causing him to look at me surprised.
“I care.” I said sheepishly. What if Chloe was still around?
Rowan bent down, nuzzling me with his nose as he began walking over towards the bench we were just at. There sat the brown bag that Blake brought Laura earlier. Had she known Rowan would find us?
“My mother clearly had a plan.” He said, setting me down gently as he quickly slipped on the black sweatpants and hoodie that sat inside.
“What did she do?” I asked, wondering why Bain found us so angry and out of breath.
Rowan pulled me close to him again, his hands resting on my butt as he spoke. Clearly not holding back any longer as he held me possesivly. How did I already feel this comfortable with a man I just met? The mere idea seemed crazy to me.
“She had the nurses turn your room over, as if you had left.” His eyes began blazing, anger flashing through him.
“I wouldn’t just leave like that.” I wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my head against his chest and inhaled. His cherry and cedar scent enveloping me with comfort and warmth as he sighed happily.
“I know, I just panicked, it didn’t help that Blake was in on it too.” He said with a growl.
“I’m sorry my mate.” I said pouting, his eyes shot to mine. My words igniting something inside of him, the words mate making him breathe heavier.
He slid his hand up, gripping my chin as he gazed into my eyes.
“My mate..” He growled hungrily, tilting my head back as he rubbed his nose against my marking spot. Causing a shiver to run through me as I gasped.
“As soon as I get you in that bed, I am marking you, I am going to show everyone who you belong to. I don’t like the way Blake f*****g looks at you, how Tristan f*****g talks about you. You are mine, my mate.” He licked my neck, making sparks shoot through me and go right to my core.
