The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Mila)

Oh goddess..why the hell did I blurt that out to Blake?! Out of all the people I told it to, it had to be the biggest gossip in Black Stone! I don’t know why I did it..it just came tumbling out. I knew he was joking at first but then he saw my face and it was all over from there.

I’m not 100% sure..but the throwing up and having the moon goddess herself hint at it..it’s safe to say it’s highly likely. I need to see Dr. Lewis to confirm but I don’t want to yet. Not until this Ozzy stuff is taken care of..so until then I will just act blissfully unaware and Blake will too..so help me..

‘Blake, stop staring at me..you’re making Rowan suspicious.’

I linked him before shooting a glare his way.

‘He thinks I’m shocked you are the moon goddess’s granddaughter..not that I’m shocked you are carrying his pup.’

He responded with a bright smile and I wanted to reach over and smack that look right off of his face. When did I get so violent?

‘Either way, you are making me nervous..Rowan can’t know yet, not until I confirm it. What if the moon goddess was mistaken?’

I said like it was a real possibility..I know, I’m grasping at straws at this point. I told him about all the signs pointing to why I would be and he agreed one hundred percent.

He was already tossing me name ideas and begged to be the godfather. Which I agreed to get him off my back..I didn’t even know what a godfather was..

‘Baby, you okay? You seem distracted..Is Blake bothering you?’

Rowan linked, worry filling his voice as he shot a glare toward Blake who quickly looked down and began picking some type of invisible lint off of his pants.

‘No, I’m just a little tired. I love you.’

I responded sweetly before looking up at Rowan, and placed a soft k**s on his jaw.

I felt really bad for keeping this from him..I know it’s wrong he has just been so adamant about not wanting pups right now that I don’t want to stress him out..at least until I know for sure. Ugh…what are we going to do Calypso?

‘Bain is more than ready for pups..you know this Darling..Rowan will be excited too…eventually..and not to burst your denial bubble..but what the goddess said is true..you know it just as much as I do.’

Calypso spoke gently, her words making my stomach twist. I can feel it too..I can feel something different but I just can’t accept it yet..I’m scared.

We were all sitting at the dinner table now as I looked down at my plate, my mind feeling all over the place as I pushed the food around aimlessly.

I could feel Rowan and Blakes eyes darting toward me every few minutes as I wished I could just go to bed..why did everything have to be so complicated all the time?! When did my life become one dramatic event after the other?

I started to remember what my day-to-day life used to be like. How I lived in that cabin and spent all of my time out in the wilderness and mostly did my own things… Yeah there was Marcus there and oftentimes it felt like I had to walk on eggshells in my own “home”..but when he was gone..those were the days I truly miss.

I know it was lonely and I would never trade what I have now for anything else in the world..but in those times I felt as if the earth and I were one. I loved how the clouds would drift by lazily and the trees would sway back and forth, lulling me to sleep with their gentle song. Those are some of the most peaceful times I had ever felt in my life and right now I was craving that more than anything.

Suddenly I felt Rowan’s hand sliding up my thigh, causing me to snap out of my thoughts as he started piling more food on my plate.

“Eat baby, you need to regain your strength.” Rowan whispered into my ear before kissing my cheek and placing another piece of chicken on my plate. I nodded my head and placed a piece of chicken into my mouth and began chewing.

“So, what’s the plan here? I spoke with the council and they agreed that whatever punishment we deem fit, has been approved.” My father-in-law explained.

I glanced at Rowan as he nodded his head tentatively. His silver and blue eyes looked at his dad with such a fierce gaze the whole room filled with his Alpha aura.

“And what of his pack, Howling Cave?” Rowan asked firmly, his grip on my thigh tightening.

“I guess it’s true, he took over forcefully, the previous alpha was killed and his family taken hostage. Those were the people working in the castle, the ones with the silver collars were those closest to the previous Alpha. They were all essentially prisoners too..” Vincent explained, the words he spoke causing that anger to resurface as I clenched my fists and tried to contain it.

“That bastard..” Tristan grumbled, causing my gaze to meet Sadie’s as she nodded her head before linking me.

‘Mila, he will get what is coming to him.’

She said seriously, her words more of a promise than anything.

“So do we know the a*****e’s real name or anything?” Lottie asked before lifting her wine and taking a long sip, her hands gripping the stem of her glass and making her knuckles turn white. She seemed just as mad as I felt..I guess we all are..

“Not yet, we are still digging into that..but I’m sure we can get some information out of him soon.” Vincent added before looking at Rowan and I.

“When do you plan on starting the interrogation?” Vincent spoke cooly, his hand reaching out and gripping Laura’s as everyone’s attention was set on Rowan.

“That I want to leave up to my mate..she is the one that will lead the interrogation with me.” Rowan announced, making my eyes widen..he had never really included me in this stuff..so to say I was shocked, was an understatement.

‘You..you really want me there with you?’

I linked. I know he had said something before but to hear him say it in front of everyone else really surprised me. I thought he would try to keep me away from this and was just trying to placate me at the time.

‘Of course baby..I want Ozzy to see us together. I want my Luna to show him who he decided to mess with..to remind him of who we are.’Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He linked firmly as his hand reached up, his warm fingers brushing a strand of hair behind my ear as I looked up at him with complete adoration.

‘Is that okay with you?’

He smirked softly, his gaze piercing my own as I couldn’t help but grin widely..

‘As long as we do it together.’

I agreed, my hands wrapping around his waist as I nuzzled onto his side, completely forgetting we were at a dinner with everyone else.

I guess once we handle everything with Ozzy, then I will make the appointment to meet up with Dr. Lewis..once everything is confirmed I don’t know how the heck I am going to let Rowan know..

Will he flip out? Will he be upset and angry? Maybe he won’t be ready..what if he leaves me for some reason?!

‘Mila..stop spiraling seriously..’

Calypso g*****d as I could feel the eye roll she gave me.

‘How are you not freaking out about this? How did this even happen? I thought the birth control would make it practically impossible.’

I asked before taking another bite of chicken and watching as Blake continued to glance at me not so subtly..

‘Mila..you seriously think some birth control will stop the moon goddess from what she wants? Remember a certain lake?’

Calypso whispered, making my jaw drop. The lake..that glowing light!! Oh godess..

‘Baby, what’s going on?’

Rowan asked me quickly, his gaze narrowing as I quickly snapped my jaw shut and tried to compose myself.

‘Just thinking about what to ask Ozzy.’

I lied, feeling guilty about keeping this secret from Rowan..ugh..I just don’t want him to have more on his plate right now. I know it’s wrong but I just don’t think he is ready to find out yet.

‘Don’t worry about it now baby, we can go through it after dinner.’

Rowan smiled before squeezing my hand and giving me a reassuring smile.

‘What would I do without you?’

I asked, before grilling Calypso about the whole lake situation.

‘Calypso..did you know what was going on when it happened?’

I linked hastily, trying not to show the panic on my face.

‘Maybe..’

She admitted sheepishly and I let out an internal g***n.

‘Can we maybe start communicating more on possible hunches and weird scenarios?!’

For goodness sakes..I think Calypso and I have some work ahead of us on the communication front..after she agreed, we finished dinner and I managed to hold my food down which I was grateful. If I threw up again I know for a fact that would seem suspicious..

‘Are you ready baby? Are you ready to show that a*****e what happens when you mess with a goddess’s mate?’

Rowan linked me, making my head turn towards him as I felt the air change completely..it was time..I know there are a lot of uncertainties for the future, but one thing I do know…Ozzy won’t be in it.
