The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Tristan)

I looked in the rearview mirror as I drove us home, peeking at our Alpha who miraculously survived. What the hell happened out there? How did Rowan come back fully healed and able to walk out of there with little to no help. Mila tried her hardest to hold him up but he ended up carrying her to the car, unwilling to let her go with how much time they had been apart. I heard Mila sniffle as she snuggled up into Rowan’s side, hanging onto him for dear life. She couldn’t believe it, just like the rest of us..the sounds of Mila crying out and the wails of pure agony are something I will never forget. The thought alone sends a chill down my spine..that was the worst thing I had ever seen and I hope to the goddess to never experience anything like it again.

I let out a sigh, moving my gaze towards Sadie, my mate..she sat next to Mila, looking out of the car window nervously. Mila told me she can’t speak because of the scar on her neck and told me about what happened with her family. It was hard not to lose my temper..knowing Marcus had hurt my mate so badly as well..if I had the chance to kill him all over again..trust me..I would.

I get the feeling though that she wants nothing to do with me.. I question if she can even feel the mating bond. She doesn’t even look at me with any type of feeling in her gorgeous eyes. She is hard to read, that’s for sure.

‘F**k dude, why is your mate so badass?’

Blake linked me, pulling my attention back to the road as I tried not to scoff.

‘Yeah, too bad she wants nothing to do with me.’

I complained to Blake.

Yes…I was feeling bummed out..these emotions are new for me too…I hate it…I f*****g hate it. I looked back once more, seeing how Sadie held Mila’s hand tightly..knowing she tricked Marcus and helped Mila escape makes me f*****g proud as hell..that badass girl was my mate. Not to mention her wild natural beauty..she was beyond anything I have ever seen.

Blake turned in his seat, looking back between Mila and Sadie.

“So Sadie, you’re going to join Black Stone right? We could really use someone like you in our pack.” Blake asked, the urge to punch him in the stomach filling me as I gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Glancing back, my gaze met hers for a brief second before she looked out the window once more, nodding her head yes.

I couldn’t deny the relief I felt..to know she plans on staying. Even though I had a feeling it would be a long journey ahead of us..but I wanted to try..and I hope she felt the same.

(Sadie)

That man kept looking at me, the one my wolf Savanah called mate. From the moment I touched him, I knew it was trouble. I didn’t have any desire to have a mate, I just wanted to be here, to protect Mila like the moon goddess asked me to. That was how I found her, that was how I knew she was the one to protect. For years I have been training for that one moment, for the moment to get revenge on those that killed my family..that killed the moon goddess’s family. That man was the reason why I can’t speak, he is why I couldn’t live a normal life because my one mission was to guard this woman with my life. I have no room for error, mistakes, or feelings. Whoever this man is, it would be better for him to move on. Why did she give me a mate..why when I was raised to fight, when I was trained to be a killer and protect the most important thing in this world. What was the moon goddess thinking?

It started when I was eight, three years after my father and sister were killed. After Marcus killed my family, he thought I was dead too, dumping my body in the woods. Luckily a group of peaceful rogues found me, an older couple who took care of me and raised me as their own. We weren’t always rogues, we were a part of Marcus’s pack. Mine and Mila’s mother were once friends. Then Marcus banished us, making us rogues before he killed my family and he thought he did me as well.

The dreams began one night when the moon goddess came to me, telling me that I was needed to help her, to protect something precious and lost to her. That one day she would need me, she would come to me and ask me to help her with protecting this lost thing so special to her.

So you can see why I don’t want a mate because my whole life has been building up to this moment. The moon goddess gave me the gift of life..the chance to survive and seek justice against the man who hurt me, the witch who helped him, and the people who stood by his side..that was enough of a reward for me. So why this mate pops up now..I don’t know what to do.

Mila squeezed my hand, making me turn my head towards her as she smiled softly. I felt as if I had known her my whole life. I guess our mothers were best friends so it would feel natural for us to.

‘We should give mate a chance.’

My wolf Savanah whined. Let’s just say she talked enough for the both of us..I was never lonely with her in my head..that’s for sure.

‘That’s not why we are here.’

I spoke firmly, not wanting to go through this again. Was he handsome? Okay, I can’t deny that..he also seemed to be a pretty well-respected Gamma, but the question that still remains..why would the moon goddess give him someone like me? A woman who couldn’t even speak..

I let out a long sigh, feeling anxious the longer we were in the car. My mate’s beach scent filled the car. He smelled like my most cherished memories, going to the ocean with my parents before it all happened. I guess this is my new life though, I have been used to being isolated for so long, and now I would soon be joining a pack..but this is the path the moon goddess has chosen for me..this is what I was destined to do and I would protect Mila with my life and that is all. Where it takes me is a mystery but I know this is where I belong, by her side and watching over her like the moon goddess intended.

(Mila, final chapter)

It had been two days since the battle against Marcus. It was finally over, the threat of him no longer hovers above us and I feel as if I can finally breathe for the first time in my life. The image of Rowan with a dagger in his chest will haunt me for eternity..that is something I can never unsee. I turned my head, my hands caressing my mate as I slid my palm over the scar on his bare chest. The only proof that what I saw wasn’t a nightmare and was all too real…I almost lost him. That was too close..I will never let something like that happen again.

Sadie has been adjusting to the new pack life, her ceremony is in a few days to join. she doesn’t show much interest in Tristan right now and he currently pops up wherever she is accidentally..or so he says..

I know it will take time for her to trust him, Sadie has been through a lot..more than I would ever know. Right now we have been communicating through writing, but she says when she joins the pack she can link with us.

Blake and Lottie are back for a while, we have the ball coming up in a few weeks and will all be attending that for Alpha Derek and his new Luna.

Ian and his mate are seeming to hit it off pretty well, her name is Mariah, and she was from a neighboring pack and has gone home for the time being with Ian not leaving her side.

All of the girls were safely returned and the fact that Black Stones Luna had helped them, has made us a few more alliances.

Finally being free of Marcus has been something I had dreamed of, to know he has hurt so many people and destroyed so many lives it is a relief to know he is gone for good. Elder Nicolas is even coming to visit soon and go over what happened with Marcus and put it in the records.

Looking down at my sleeping mate, I couldn’t help but feel my heart swell with happiness. I bent over, kissing his scar as he began to stir from his deep sleep. He says he is okay, and that he feels perfectly fine but we still need to be careful. I need to make sure it’s true..

“Mmm, good morning baby.” His deep voice rumbled, making his chest vibrate beneath me.

“Are you okay, are you feeling fine?” I asked hastily, checking his eyes as he laughed, his hand sliding up my naked back as he smirked happily.

“Yes baby, I’m fine..but I know something that can make me feel even better.” He said with a cocky grin while wiggling his eyebrows at me.

I shook my head while laughing softly. At least one thing wasn’t affected by what happened..his insatiable appetite..

Rowan quickly flipped me onto my back, his hands gripping my wrists as he hovered above me. I breathed out sharply, the sight of him almost too much to bare as his silver hair shimmered in the morning sun. His full pink lips lifted into a smile as he bent down, bringing them against mine.

“I love you my Mila..with everything I am.” He kissed me gently, his tongue sliding out as he tasted me hungrily.

“I love you too Rowan, you have all of me forever.” I breathed against him, my eyes fluttering shut as I absorbed his touch. He was my everything..he was the one I want to grow old with and the one I want to experience every day of my life with. Rowan was the one who saved me..saved me from the prison I once thought was home, from a life with that monster pretending to be my father.

He found me and loved me unconditionally..he took me as I was and didn’t try to change a single thing. He was not only my fated mate..but he was my soul mate..he was mine for eternity and I can’t wait to see what our future holds. Because I know that this isn’t the end of one story but the beginning of a whole new journey..a whole new world of possibilities and a life full of love..and I wouldn’t want to go through it with anyone but my Rowan..my handsome mate that I love with all of my heart.

“My Mila, my beautiful goddess.” Rowan whispered against my skin, before making sweet, tender love to me. His delicate touch worshipping me like I truly was a goddess..what a silly thought that would be…all I know is Rowan was all mine and I was his..for eternity..my mate, my love, my Rowan.

…To Be Continued…
