The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Mila)

Savanah nodded her head to me, those aqua-colored eyes burning with anticipation as I pulled in a deep steadying breath. This was it..this was the moment I would save Rowan and bring him home.

We could hear the men shuffling back and forth on their feet, as we silently crept closer to the gates.

‘Now.’

Sadie’s voice echoed through my head..that one word setting free that fire burning deep inside of me as it became all-consuming..

I felt that unyielding strength and power radiating off of me as we pounced in front of the two guards. Our movements were so fast that the warrior’s wide eyes were the only things that moved before our claws shredded and dug into their flesh, ending their lives immediately without one ounce of hesitation.

‘Let’s go now. We have to keep moving and act fast. Lead us to him with the bond Mila.’

Sadie’s link broke into my mind, snapping Calypso back to the present as we hurtled ourselves through the gates. The sound of shouting, and growling filled the silence as we watched the startled remaining guards shift with wide eyes.

Calypso slid forward, her body tackling a half-shifted man as she tore into his neck and chest, leaving no chance of survival as she had one goal in mind..get to Rowan..and if anyone stood in our way..destroy them all.

My eyes darted to the castle’s large wooden doors as they began to close. The remaining wolves who were now surrounding us began snapping their jaws as Sadie and I stood in the middle.

We didn’t care that we were surrounded..we were ready to rip them apart and wish they had never followed behind Ozzy so blindly.

Jumping forward, Calypso tackled down three of the five warriors, letting Sadie handle the other two on her own as one of them was already dead on the floor.

Calypso jumped on one’s back, her teeth chomping down on the brown wolf’s shoulder as we ripped and pulled at his flesh until he moved no more. After killing this one, my eyes snapped to the other two who began slowly retreating back to the castle. No way in hell would I let them go..not today..there would be no survivors.

I made quick work, our strength unlike anything I had felt before as one nudge from my body sent one of the wolves hurtling into the wall, killing him instantly from the sheer force alone.

‘We have to push through! I sense him..I sense our mate!’

Calypso shouted, my mind filling with her realization as we slammed our body against the wooden door, splintering the frame as it flew off the hinges, making the ground shake as the heavy wood hit the floor.

Two seconds…that’s all it took for my life to tumble down and shatter completely.

“I wouldn’t go any further if I were you! Magnificent..you truly are Amelia..but not another step forward.” The voice of Ozzy boomed around us, drawing our gaze up a flight of stairs and straight to a balcony.

His arm was wrapped around something..no..someone..my mate..my Rowan, only..oh goddess, it was horrible, the pain he had gone through. The suffering he had endured. The look in his remaining eye was one full of fear and shock as he stared down at me, shaking his head no with a sharp silver blade pressing up against his throat.

No..no this can’t be..not again I can’t let this happen again. He can’t die..he can’t be hurt because of me.

“Calm down!” Ozzy shouted, the ground beginning to shake as Sadie’s voice sliced through that rumbling.

‘Mila, you need to breathe..you have to relax!’

She tried to help me get control of something I never knew I could be lost to..I was falling into that rage..and there was no stopping me now.

“Mila, run..please baby, you have to go.” The sound of Rowan’s hoarse voice made my body tremble with fury as I exploded with such power, that the earth shook beneath my paws. I shot forward, seeing the wide eyes of Ozzy as realization set in that I didn’t fall for his damn bluff.

“Get her!! Inject her with the wolfsbane now!” His command fell on deaf ears as everyone around him trembled with fear. Their bodies collapsed as the wave of power crashed through them, bringing every single wolf in here to their knees.

“f**k! Do I have to do everything myself?!” Ozzy shouted before shoving Rowan’s weak body towards two guards as Ozzy jumped straight off of the balcony..landing right in front of me as Rowan yelled out for me.

“Mila no!” He cried out, his head slamming to the side as he hit one of the guards, knocking him out cold. Even with his arms shackled and Bain suppressed he refused to give up..he refused to let anything happen to me and my heart cracked a little…knowing he was still fighting for me..knowing he had gone through something absolutely horrible and yet he was still willing to risk himself..

‘Get him Sadie, I will handle Ozzy.’

I instructed, my Alpha command slicing through our link as Calypso growled and circled around this evil man I despised so greatly.

“I knew you would come..they tried to trick me..saying they had you and ambushed my men..I was ready to kill Rowan right here and now..but you my sweet Amelia came to me..you know where you truly belong.” He smirked wickedly, his eyes feral and boring into me with such intensity the urge to look away filled me but I refused.

Calypso growled, her rumbles vibrating through the floor as the walls shook around us.

“You are reaching your full potential..I wouldn’t have thought any less from someone of your bloodline..but sweetheart, don’t you dare use this power against me..your future Alpha.” He shouted, making confusion fill me as I tried to understand just what the hell he was talking about. This guy was freaking insane..he would never be my Alpha..

I quickly glanced towards the stairs, meeting Rowan’s fearful gaze as he shoved past a guard and began making a run for it. He was trying to reach me but I couldn’t let him..he needed to get out of here now.

‘Sadie!! Get him out!’

I yelled desperately, the fear of something happening to him beginning to consume me as Ozzy took a step forward, one hand sliding into his pocket as the other reached out toward me.

“Just come to me Amelia, then this will all be over. Rowan will live peacefully on his own..a long and happy life where nothing like this will ever happen again. No one will hurt him because of you..those people that want you so bad..they would never touch him if he is out of the picture.” He began, his words making Calypso’s head turn slightly as I wasn’t understanding what the hell he was talking about.

“Don’t f*****g listen to him Mila! Run now please baby..you need to get away from him!” Rowan cried out just before two wolves tackled him down, causing Calypso to yelp. I was ready to go to him..wanting to save my mate when I looked around and realized we were surrounded now.

I let my eyes wander, spotting Savanah climbing the stairs towards Rowan as she tackled the wolves off of him and killed them with precision.

“Amelia..look at me!” Ozzy shouted hysterically, causing my eyes to dart towards him as Calypso crouched down and growled once more..not liking the way this a*****e spoke to us..or even how he used my full name.

Rowan was almost free..then once Sadie got him out of here there was no more holding back..I can feel this power thrumming inside of me..the way it wants to unleash itself but holding back because of my mate being too close..I knew whatever this was had the ability to kill..to kill all those unfortunate enough to be in its path.

‘Sadie take him now, please! I can’t hold it much longer.’

I gritted through my teeth.

“You will come with me because I am the only one who knows how to take care of you properly Amelia. I am the only one who is destined for you..the one who will be your mate..and you my beautiful goddess..our pups..f**k they will be so strong..they will rule this f*****g world for eternity..our bloodline will be the strongest in the world my sweet Amelia..You are mine!!” He yelled, his body lunging forward as he withdrew something from his pocket, his arms swiping down as he stuck something in my back.

“Mila no!!” The sound of Rowan’s voice echoed around me and I couldn’t hold on any longer..I couldn’t hold that power..the pain of whatever Ozzy stuck me with starting to fill my body as I closed my eyes and let go..

A bright white light filled me, the beams bursting through my soul as I cried out in rage.

“You will pay for what you did to him!! You will all pay!” A loud scream ricochet off the walls as that light soon followed causing a blast to shove Ozzy back.

That anger flying out of me as I heard screams and wails of anguish filling the air from those poor souls who were just struck with whatever the hell this was. The power continued to pulse out of me until nothing was left but fear..the fear that I hurt my mate..that I hurt Sadie and killed them. The fear that I had gone too far and there was no going back.

Then there was silence..silence that washed over me and drove me absolutely mad..silence that made that fear multiply..no one was left..not a single breath was heard..not a single g***n or m**n. Nothing..my body shifted back, my eyes growing heavy with sleep as every ounce of strength I had slipped away, leaving me cold shivering and alone on the floor..five little worlds began to run through my mind..making that fear linger as I thought to myself over and over again..

What have I just done..
