The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Tristan)

I awoke in the middle of the night, the feeling of something shaking the bed startling me awake as I instinctively reached under my pillow, searching for the dagger I always keep there just in case. My eyes tried to adjust to the dark room as confusion and the feeling of unease filled me. Suddenly everything came crashing back, how Sadie finally accepted me, how we completed our bond and had the most incredible night together.

That’s when panic set in, Sadie, where was she?! My eyes darted to the space beside me and I felt instant relief as I spotted her sleeping form. I inhaled her spring scent as I went to pull her into my side, only something didn’t seem right..I carefully watched her as she began to toss and turn when her brows furrowed deeply like she was experiencing some type of nightmare.

I reached my hand out, placing it gently against Sadie’s chest as she let out a deep breath and began to calm down immediately. Making me calm as well, realizing that she was the reason why I felt so uneasy to begin with. It was her uneasy emotions flowing through our bond that I was experiencing. I took this quiet moment to study my mate..to really look at her and appreciate what the goddess has given me.

Her hair was a light strawberry blonde that cascaded all around her in wild curls. I had never seen a woman with natural hair like this in my life..it was absolutely breathtaking. My eyes were drawn to her heart-shaped face next, the soft freckles that were scattered across the tops of her cheeks made them that much more kissable, and the urge to do just that took over as I placed a soft k**s against her delicate skin. After pulling away I glanced down at her full lips which were a natural deep pink as they twitched into a sleepy smile and couldn’t stop my heart from racing as she snuggled up against me.

I wondered for a moment what she was dreaming about that made her look so worried when my eyes wandered down to her scar sl*shed across her throat and chest. I know these scars are something she hates about herself..she sees them as a weakness and a reminder of what happened. But when I look at her scar, I can’t help but swell with emotion knowing that my mate had survived through so much. That she experienced more in her childhood than most do in a lifetime and yet here she was..one of the strongest people I have ever met. I know for a fact that Sadie could even take me on, I will never admit that to her in person..but seeing all those men she took down back at the warehouse, it was astonishing.

Looking back at my life, I always felt like I was missing something emotionally. Like there was a part of humanity and compassion I just wasn’t born with. It’s not like I am an emotionless a*****e who had no feelings ever..but I did feel like I could turn them off and get straight to business without making it personal. That’s why I’m a good Gamma because I numb it all without feeling an ounce of remorse. Obviously I have people I trust and care about in life..but I try to keep my distance up to a point. Even with Blake, yeah, he is my best friend but I will never admit that to him fully..then it’s like I would be shouting to the f*****g world that I have a weakness.

Well..now I really do have a damn weakness..Sadie had been since the moment I laid eyes on her. She has knocked down every damn wall I have ever built and made it so life would never be the same again.

Oh don’t get me wrong, those walls are still f*****g intact, now I just built it around the both of us and she is right behind it with me.

In a way, I don’t mind that Sadie can’t speak..because it keeps all of our conversations private and no one truly knows how much she means to me. Obviously my close friends and family can see it..but people who could possibly use it against me won’t. I’m not saying I have hundreds of enemies that are out to get me at any opportunity..but things can happen in a pack, and I always try to stay as cautious as possible. You have to be when you are the leader of a group of warriors and have killed a lot of people along the way. Mostly rogues, but they all come from somewhere..that’s why you have to be careful.

I slid my hands up, feeling the curves of my princess’s back as she rubbed her cheek again my bare chest before turning her head and revealing the fresh mark I gave her. Just the sight of it made butterflies flood through me as I bent down, kissing her mark gently.

‘Mine.’

Hadeon grumbled, the only word he has spoken since last night. I can feel his happiness..the grumpy bastard has been wagging his tail more than he ever has in his damn life.

At first, I thought there was something wrong with me because of how silent my wolf was. I thought maybe he didn’t like me and wanted nothing to do with me. But I learned along the way that’s just how he is. He doesn’t talk..he doesn’t really socialize much and I guess he would almost be classified as a lone wolf.

So you can imagine my shock at the way he treats our mate. I thought he would be impassive and ignore her even more than me, but I guess she was a piece of what he had been missing. I can feel their connection..it started way before me and Sadie’s which honestly sucked. But I think it needed to happen that way, because if Hadeon trusted and cared for Sadie and her wolf..then it really was something worth fighting for, because gaining his trust is rare. Sadie was always our destiny, and now I will never let her go.

‘Dude, are you awake yet? Don’t tell me you and Sadie are at it right now..’

Blake linked, making me roll my eyes. Even though I was just thinking of how I should wake her up..

‘What is it?’

I linked back, making sure he could hear my annoyance.

‘Some crazy shit went down last night. It was all handled though.’

He informed me, making my body stiffen.

‘What shit?’

I asked nonchalantly, trying to control these rising emotions.

‘Well…for one, Finn got drunk and called Chloe a hoe. That was f*****g hilarious though.’

He sounded amused and I couldn’t help but see the humor in it. Finn is a hostile drunk though..so I’m sure that was just the start.

‘Did he get into a fight?’

I asked, wondering if that was the direction this was going.

‘Not exactly..Rowan and Genevieve had him walked back to the room before it got worse.’

He continued and I was starting to get annoyed once again..he always dragged this shit out.

‘But the crazy thing was, when Rowan was dealing with Finn, I guess Chloe cornered Mila and was trash-talking her..and Mila punched her in the f*****g face.’

My eyes popped open, Mila punched her?!

‘It was the best night of my life..Lottie witnessed the whole thing. Chloe was going on about Mila having her sloppy seconds and it got pretty graphic, then suddenly Mila just POW..popped her right in the nose. Not even a slap bro, a f*****g full on slug to the face.’

Blake laughed and I couldn’t help but smile myself..picturing Mila hitting Chloe was f*****g amazing..damn Sadie’s going to be pissed she missed that.

‘Is everything okay now? Nothing else happened?’

I asked, trying not to sound too worried but that anxious feeling of not being there for my Luna began to rise.

‘Nah, everyone fanned out after that. I guess Alpha Ozzy was shocked..but like not in an angry way..in a creepy a*s way. That’s when we called it a night because he wouldn’t stop staring at Mila and Bain was about to solve that problem..something about ripping his eyes out..I was pretty tipsy at that point and Lottie kept dragging her hand up my..’

He began and I put a damn stop to that right away.

‘Okay I get it..’

I growled into the link, making him laugh.

‘So?….’

He started, and the urge to punch something filled me..only Blake could make me feel this way..I don’t know what it is..I love the guy but he knows how to get under my skin completely.

‘Yes..Sadie and I marked each other, now leave me the f**k alone.’

I responded before closing the link quickly..Sadly Blake’s cheers trickled through before it closed all the way.

Well, I guess everything was handled..but a lot still happened and I know Sadie and I can’t be away from the Alpha and Luna that much..so I better take advantage of our time now while we have it..

I rolled Sadie over, my mouth beginning its torturous descent along her body as I took her hard nipple into my mouth and began to suck.

“Princess, time to wake up.” I whispered against her skin, making those beautiful aqua-colored eyes flutter open..

That’s one thing I will never get used to..those gorgeous eyes and the way they looked at me..how did I get so damn lucky to be the one she looks at like that?

I can’t wait to see how they look at me with my head between her legs..that has to be my favorite so far..one I will never tire of, that..I know for a damn fact.
