The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Rowan)

I didn’t like where this was going..not one f*****g bit. The look in Ozzy’s eyes was too confident..like whatever he was about to tell us might just save his damn life..but could that information be worth it? We can always just lie and agree to whatever the hell he wants just to get him to talk. There is no way I am letting this prick live..I refuse to have him around with what he did..and how he threatened my mate.

“Okay fine, we will bite. Give us a reason why you should live.” I said casually, trying not to give anything away as I felt Mila’s anger simmering more and more by the second. She was ready to snap..who would have thought that would be a real concern..that she could get so angry and kill him in an instant..f**k me my mate was incredible.

Bain wagged his tail in approval as I couldn’t help but glance over at her. Her long chocolate brown hair was tied up and her clothes matched mine perfectly as she wore a deep blue long-sleeve shirt and dark wash jeans. She looked fierce and adorable at the same f*****g time..how was it possible?

‘Focus..we need to find out what the threat is.’

Bain growled causing me to dart my gaze back to Ozzy.

“Well, you might have heard a rumor about a group of rogues gathering..” He began, shifting his weight slightly as he let out a hiss from his still broken arm moving awkwardly.

“We killed most of those rogues who worked for you.” Tristan stated firmly.

“Yeah, those don’t count..Maybe a group isn’t the correct word to use..hmm..I would say more like an army.” He responded, making everyone stiffen as we all looked between one another.

“Every rogue gathering from around the continent..I’m talking thousands..” He smirked widely, making my stomach drop..thousands…that can’t be possible, we would have heard about this…People would have seen the groups traveling through the territories.

“How you might ask?” Ozzy smirked, his eyes falling on Mila as a low growl escaped me..this a*****e..how can he still be so damn confident?

“Well, how did I get past all of you?” He asked, making Tristan, Blake, and I all share a look..F**k, this is bad.

‘They are killing Alphas and taking over the weaker packs..’

I linked to our group, making my f*****g heart stop..shit..they have been hiding in plain sight this whole damn time. There were hundreds of smaller packs scattered all throughout the west coast..if not thousands..I’m talking small settlements from 30 wolves to 300.. Some are so new that they haven’t even been established officially..So to think that these packs might have been overtaken and essentially taken hostage is sickening.

I lunged forward, my hand snapping out as I gripped Ozzy’s throat, squeezing just tight enough to show I meant it.

“Name the packs now.” I hissed, my eyes wide as I let Bain’s aura come pulsing out, causing Ozzy to tilt his head in submission.

“Why..would..I..do..that..” he choked out, making me squeeze tighter.

“I am done with this..I want him skinned alive.” I said in a clipped tone. Making Tristan walk over to the table and pick up a sharp knife..the action causing Ozzy’s eyes to widen in horror.

“Okay, okay..I will tell you everything I know..but the reason you need me alive is because they will listen to me.” He gasped, his eyes growing red as my hand continued to squeeze tighter.

“How f*****g convenient..” I seethed, my hand letting go as Ozzy gasped and coughed, trying desperately to suck some air back into his lungs.

“I want names of packs..you might not have them all but I need something..how do we know you are even telling the truth?” I glanced towards Tristan who seemed to be frowning now. I guess he was looking forward to using that new knife of his.

“Rowan..would I lie to you? After everything we have been through..” He chuckled, making my b***d boil as I nodded at Tristan..ready to make a point to show Ozzy I meant business…Ozzy and I would never be cordial with one another..If he does live, it will be only on my terms, and once we figure this out he will also die on my terms.

“Ring finger.” I announced firmly, watching Tristan’s eyes gleam with excitement as he stepped forward, making Ozzy snap his head towards him.

“Ring finger..what the f**k do you mean ring finger..hey..get away from me you prick!!” Ozzy shouted hysterically his eyes filling with fear as Triatan reached out and gripped his hand.

“It’s best to try and stay still..you don’t want me to take the wrong one.” Tristan smirked wickedly before gripping Ozzy’s ring finger and cutting it completely off, causing Ozzy to thrash around as his screams of pain ricocheted off the walls.

I pulled Mila closer to me, my hand resting on her side as I turned my head and kissed her temple, making sure she knew I was still there. I know this might be too much for her..but from the look on her face..she didn’t when flinch.

“f**k! You Mother fucker!! I will f*****g kill you!!” Ozzy cried out, b***d dripping down his arms as I couldn’t help but be drawn to the tattoo across his torso that trailed up to his neck. This was the first time seeing it fully as I studied the design intently. It was of a woman..the moon goddess to be exact. How ironic that he seemed to practically worship the moon goddess and yet offended her so greatly by hurting her only descendent. Does he not realize how f****d up he has been? How greatly he has hurt my mate who he seems to be obsessed with? He just sees her as a tool to gain power, nothing more..he deserves the worst kind of death..

“Names of some of the packs now, or you lose another finger.” I commanded, making Ozzy growl out as he spit at me with disgust while I was able to dodge it just in time.

“You all will pay for this..I’m not telling you s**t, I would rather die.” Ozzy growled between clenched teeth, making my Mila step forward as I reached out and gripped her wrist.

‘Baby, you don’t have to..’

I linked, not wanting Mila to strain herself, she had just gained back her energy.

‘I want to do this..I want to show him what happens when he hurts my mate. I won’t let him get away with it..I won’t let him hurt anyone else ever again.’

Her voice was firm and full of promise..I couldn’t say no to that..I wouldn’t..

Reality seemed to set in as Ozzy stared at a fuming Mila, her eyes glowing green as the air grew thicker with each second.

“What..what are going doing? You can’t..you need me..Wait I will give the names..I will do it..uhh there is Sand Creek pack..and and..Green Ridge..then..” He began to name off some packs as he began to scramble as Mila stepped right in front of him.

She quickly held up her hand, stopping his babbling as she locked her eyes on him and only him.

“Ozzy, there is no saving you..the moon goddess has given you multiple chances to change your path..to write the wrongs your family has previously made, and instead you chose to follow that same path. That is why you must die just as they have. But you made one mistake Ozzy..” She said in a voice that I had never heard before..a voice that made a chill tremble down my spine..it was powerful..it was otherworldly.

“The mistake you made, was you hurt my mate..and now, now you will suffer a death none have before. Goodbye, Ozzy.” And with that she raised her hand, her fingers piercing through his chest as she gripped his heart. The pain in Ozzy’s eyes burned into my mind as the reality of just who Mila was filled the room. We all watched in silence as she squeezed, the sounds of bones cracking and popping echoed through the silence, and then silence..pure deadly silence.

Ozzy was gone and my mate was the one to do it.

Suddenly Mila’s legs began to wobble, prompting me to lunge forward as I caught my mate just before she hit the ground.

“Baby, it’s okay, it’s all over.” I whispered against her ear, the pride I felt for this woman being my mate overwhelming me as I looked down into those emerald green eyes that I f*****g loved so damn much.

“I..I didn’t hurt anyone else did I?” She whispered, causing me to shake my head no as I bent down, kissing all over her face.

“You did so good baby.” I smiled, watching as everyone stepped closer.

“f**k Mil, that was badass!” Blake shouted, making Mila chuckle as I could tell she needed to rest. At least she didn’t fall asleep this time but I could tell trying to contain her powers wore her out.

“We need to call an emergency meeting..we need to warn the council.” I spoke to my Beta and Gamma, knowing this us more serious than we ever thought..we needed to get ahead of this, there was no way we would know when they might strike..But I guess Ozzy was useful for something..

Let’s just hope we aren’t too late.
