The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Mila)

I awoke with the comforting smell of my mate swirling around me..I didn’t even remember coming back to the bed. After healing Rowan I felt exhausted and the last thing I remembered was gazing into Rowan’s beautiful eyes.

I turned my head, peeking over at Rowan as a smile instantly filled my face.

He was lying next to me, his eyes half open as he peered down while staring at me. His eyes turned bright and filled with excitement as he leaned forward, kissing me on the cheek.

“Finally, I thought you would be out for days with how loud you were snoring.” He teased, making me gasp as I couldn’t help but glare at him.

“Whatever! You are lying.” I pouted, feeling my cheeks warm as Rowan couldn’t hold in his laugh.

My Rowan was really back..I could feel his happiness radiating off of him even though I knew that darkness was still dwelling under the surface..we needed this though..we needed to get back to each other.

“Okay, it was more like a cute little whimper.” He smirked, making me hit his chest playfully before he reached up and gripped my hand, holding it tightly.

“f**k baby..I missed you so damn much.” He added before raining k****s across my bare shoulder and neck, making me giggle. I missed him too..more than he will ever know..I honestly felt like I was losing my mind when he was gone..he is my only reason..that much I know.

“Rowan.” I whispered, my fingers finding their way into his hair as I twirled the locks in small circles leisurely. I needed to tell him I knew now and that I planned on telling the rest of our family. I just feel deep down that it’s what is best. They deserve to know and with Rowan’s eye healed, I’m sure they will have lots of questions like with Genevieve. I also don’t want to lie to them.

“Hmm?” Rowan hummed in response, his voice vibrating against my neck as he continued to nip and suck at me lazily.

“I know who I am..well, who I am related to.” I blurted..not sure how to even put it lightly.

Rowan froze, his body tensing as I swear I could hear his heart skip a beat.

“I figured..since everything that happened after you woke up.” He whispered gently, his hands beginning to rub up and down my back in a comforting motion.

“I saw her..she told me who I was..and then I met my mother.” I couldn’t stop the emotions from rising. My mother’s sweet scent still lingered in the back of my mind as a single tear trickled down my cheek, prompting Rowan to k**s it away.

“I bet she was just as kind and beautiful as you are.” Rowan responded with a thoughtful smile filling his face as all I could do was nod. I didn’t think meeting my mom would affect me this much, considering I never really knew her..until recently I didn’t even know what she looked like. So to feel that natural bond and love, it was almost startling how much I miss her already.

“I think we should let the family know.” I added, unsure of how Rowan would react to this.

“Mila..if the wrong person finds out..if it gets out of this pack house..I can’t go through that again. I can’t risk losing you again.” His voice cracked with emotion, his silver and blue eyes searching my face as I let out a sigh and placed a single k**s on his lips.

“I feel like if they aren’t in the dark..then we can prevent that from happening even more..we would tell your parents and brother..then Tristan and I’m pretty sure Sadie and your Grandpa already know.” I couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking of how Grandpa Scott helped me so blindly. I owe him big time..I will always be grateful for what he did.

“Yeah..I gotta have a couple of words with him.” Rowan grumbled, making me snuggle closer into him as I pressed my cheek against his naked chest.

“He just pushed me to do what I was already willing to do. He believed in me..and I feel like I owe Grandpa Scott everything for getting you back.” I admitted, making Rowan scoff as he let out a deep sigh.

“That old man sure knows how to cause trouble that’s for sure..but yes..I agree. I am glad he was there for you..but there is something else I need to tell you, baby. I was waiting until you were able to recover.” His voice turned serious, making me pull back as I looked up into his eyes curiously. He continued to rub my back as his expression hardened from whatever he was thinking about.

“What is it?” I tried wracking my brain for what it could be about but was drawing a blank.

“It’s about Ozzy..he was found alive. We have him in our holding cells.” He said flat out, making me sit up immediately..those feelings of anger and hate crashed deep inside of me as that heat started to simmer once more.

“Hey..hey it’s okay baby, it’s okay.” Rowan rushed out, his arms pulling me into his lap as he rocked me back and forth..the hatred I had for Ozzy caused my breathing to grow ragged.

Calypso began growling, the hair standing up at the nape of her neck as she started pacing back and forth.

We wanted to kill him..we wanted him dead for what he did to our mate..for how he took him from me and tortured him.

“I know..we will give him what he deserves..we will, I promise you that. But not yet baby, not right now until you get your strength back.” He whispered, his mouth pressing against my ear as he began placing k****s all around me..the action causing me to calm down as I began taking deep breaths..I didn’t like losing control. I hated how the mere mention of his name made me want to explode with such fury..I wanted revenge. I wanted Ozzy’s b***d on my hands..I wanted to do exactly what he did to my Rowan but ten times worse.

“I want to be there…” I said firmly, my fingers digging into Rowan’s back as I felt that anger starting to cool down.

Rowan sat silently for a few moments, I could feel Bain close to the surface and knew they must have been communicating with one another. I pulled back, seeing his eyes now black as I lifted my hands and placed them on either side of his face..

“Mila..if the wrong person finds out..if it gets out of this pack house..I can’t go through that again. I can’t risk losing you again.” His voice cracked with emotion, his silver and blue eyes searching my face as I let out a sigh and placed a single k**s on his lips.

“Please..I want to finish what I started..I want to show him what happens when he messes with my mate..when he hurts the man I love.” I expressed, feeling Rowan’s head nodding before he crashed down against my lips..his mouth fusing to mine as he devoured me completely. My words fueled such a deep desire inside of him as I vowed to defend my mate..I vowed to show everyone what happens when you try to hurt what is mine.

My hands began traveling down, my fingers fumbling their way to his hard length as he suddenly stopped, pulling me back from his lap as he began panting heavily.

“Mila baby, you need to eat before we do anything else. You haven’t eaten in three days.” He explained, making me frown as I tried to reach for his c**k once more.

“But..I want you.” I pouted, making him stifle a laugh before shaking his head no.

“I’m serious baby..you need to regain your strength if you are going to show Ozzy what you are made of.” He said while c*cking his eyebrow and making me let out a grown as I looked down at his d**k longingly..what is wrong with me? I mean..yeah I am usually rearing to go..but this..this was like an itch only Rowan could scratch..and I needed to be scratched now!

“Fine.” I grumbled while crossing my arms in front of my chest and groaning. I quickly fell back onto the bed as Rowan stood up and went to put shorts on.

“What?! I thought we had a no clothes rule.” I was appalled..now I really know he means business if he puts his damn clothes on.

“You are feisty today..” Rowan muttered before walking over towards our door..most likely getting the food he must have ordered us.

After a few moments of self pity, I heard Rowan close the door and watched as he walked back into the room. The smell of pasta wafted towards me and suddenly the urge to vomit filled me. Oh goddess..this wasn’t good. I made a quick dash to the bathroom, my empty stomach dry heaving as Rowan was right by my side, his hand on my back as he rubbed and soothed me.

“f**k baby are you okay?” He asked worriedly, his hands gripping my hair as I nodded my head between dry heaves.

“Yeah..just..felt sick.” I managed to say between heaves, making Rowan furrow his brows as he continued to watch me.

I sat back on my heels..feeling a cool wash cloth on my head now as Rowan continued taking care of me before handing me a glass of water.

“Maybe because you haven’t eaten in so long.” Rowan stated, trying to figure out what was wrong..then the words the Moon Goddess spoke echoed through my mind..

Could I really be pregnant? Was what she said true? Oh goddess..Rowan is not going to take this well..oh man..what the hell am I going to do?
