The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Rowan)

I finished linking Mila as I flexed my hands slowly, the thought of another man touching what was mine was driving me absolutely insane..of course, I hate that shit and it pisses me off beyond belief but I can’t go back to that..I can’t be this obsessive mate who wants to lock their Luna away and never let her see anybody..because honestly, that’s how I feel half the damn time.

After finding out who Mila really is, it all began to make sense. The way I want to claim her constantly, how I only want her for myself in every aspect of life.. How that feeling in my chest becomes tighter and tighter until I feel like I might explode if a single male looks at her.

Marcus felt it too..and he wasn’t even her f*****g mate.. F**k I hate him so much, I hate how he hurt her..how he thought he could claim her and have what is mine. How he even hurt Sadie and so many other innocent people. I wish I could kill him over and over again..I wish I could see the life draining out of him and laugh in his damn face.

I had to quickly calm myself as I sipped from the scotch I was just brought from Tristan, he can sense my shitty mood..I’m f*****g trying though.

The problem is considering Mila has the b***d from the goddess..it’s almost like my feelings for her are amplified tenfold. I have been doing my research..there are only myths and legends at this point, considering no one believes the goddess truly had a child but those that speculate believe the werewolf would have such an allure that others would even find an attraction to them without the bond alone.

That the connection between our creator pumping through this person’s veins would make others naturally drawn to them..and if you are mated to that so-called “god or goddess” you are essentially f****d because every mated feeling would be multiplied exponentially. So yeah..it helps explain why I am so damn crazy and I can’t control myself at times..but I am f*****g trying.

I also had my grandpa retell me the story of how all of it started..Of his great grandfather who saved the moon goddess’s daughter. He said that my distant grandfather had a natural urge to protect her. It was almost like he was called to save her from something he couldn’t explain. That there were bad people who wanted to take her and knew who she was. That scares the shit out of me..truly. What if there are people out here who know the same..so far I have a hunch that Sadie knows..just because of how she found her and that she essentially risked her life for my mate whom she didn’t even know. I haven’t said shit though because I don’t want to even speak the words out loud.

I kept pondering on the reason why the moon goddess doesn’t even want Mila to know..and the only explanation I can think of is she wants Mila to live the most ordinary life she can. Maybe ignorance is bliss in this situation or just maybe there is something more to it..I have no f*****g clue honestly.

We just finished gathering in the conference room as I set my drink down and watched my business partners trickle in. Even though our company hires humans, all of our executives are werewolves and we even have a few light witches working for us. We just partnered with a new company and this is our way to blend the employees and introduce ourselves officially. Blake has met the new Alpha who comes from Howling Cave, a pack that is up north from here. They are relatively new and have grown exponentially. Alpha Ozzy apparently just picked his chosen Luna and they got back from their honeymoon. I stood up, shaking all of the Alpha’s hands as they walked in and took their seats. That’s when the room seemed to shift, a strong aura filled the room as everyone’s heads turned.

A man with short black hair and tan skin came walking in. He was large and muscular, his suit pristine and his eyes a dark brown. He was obviously wealthy and wasn’t afraid to show it. The expensive jewelry and name-brand shoes gave that away immediately. I have to say he definitely was one of the strongest auras of an Alpha I have met.

I felt Bain stand up as a low growl left him, surprising me as this man walked forward. I don’t want to be an a*****e, but we all have Alpha auras here but we make sure to reign it in so the intimidation factor doesn’t make our wolves feel predatorial. So the fact that this guy came striding in like he didn’t give a f**k already rubbed me the wrong way.

I glanced toward Blake who shrugged sheepishly, obviously knowing how the guy is already. This has to be Alpha Ozzy. Upon further investigation, I noticed he had a tattoo peaking out of the collar of his neck, it looked to be of a woman. I don’t know what it is, but this guy was already pissing me off.

“Alpha Rowan, it’s finally nice to meet the man I have heard so much about.” He stuck his hand out, gripping my own as he shook it roughly. Another intimidation tact..I’m not falling for this shit.

“Alpha Ozzy I presume, welcome to the board.” I said smoothly, fighting the urge to growl and release my own aura.. Not to be a prick but this a*****e has nothing on Bain..I just don’t go around flaunting it because it’s a d**k move.

“Of course, shall we get started then?” He raised an eyebrow, removing his hand as he went to sit down.

I nodded my head, before welcoming everyone to the meeting and looked over towards one of our staff members. Her name was Adriana and she was head of the advertising department. She was human but is mated to a werewolf. They have worked for the company for two years and even visit Black Stone now and then for special events. I heard that her mate plans to turn her this year, considering they are legally married and she is already marked and mated.

Turning a human is a very dangerous process, but if they are mated to a werewolf and have their mark for a couple of years it’s easier considering the body grows more accustomed to the bond and connection with the werewolf venom already in the system.

Adriana talked through some of our new marketing strategies and went through a couple of PowerPoints to show our projected growth for the upcoming year.

But my eyes, they were only on one thing and that was Alpha Ozzy..something about him rubbed me the wrong f*****g way. I watched as he smiled at Adriana with a sultry grin, causing her to get flustered at one point and lose her concentration.. In fact every single woman in here was stealing glances towards him and he seemed to realize that.

‘Please tell me you hate this a*****e just as much as I do.’

Tristan linked, causing me to smirk for the first time since this guy got here. I looked toward Tristan and nodded slightly, agreeing with him whole heartily.

Even Finn linked me a few times commenting on the new Alpha’s attitude. He didn’t like him as much as I did..

Blake on the other hand was completely oblivious to what was going on and seemed to be linking with someone..by the look on his face I could only guess it was Lottie.

‘Blake, pay attention.’

I linked, causing him to visibly jump as he shifted in his seat and cleared his throat, acting like a kid who just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Looking back towards Adriana I focused as much as I could with Bain begging to show this new guy a fraction of our aura..I had to shut him out for a little only because he was getting too hostile. I had never seen him react like this..

“We want to thank you for your continuous hard work Adriana, if there are any questions the floor is now open.” Blake suddenly chimed in, making me glance around the room as I listened to the few people who had any concerns or needed clarification.

I glanced towards Alpha Ozzy who was now staring at me, his eyes seeming to darken even more as he quickly averted his gaze and plastered on a cocky grin. What was this guy’s f*****g deal?

“Well, if that is all, we will be meeting for lunch in forty minutes so that gives you some time to freshen up or handle any business before the event.” Adrian said sweetly and nodded her head in thanks before walking out of the room.

Most of the Alphas stood up as I shook each of their hands and said our goodbyes before they left the room. Turning around, I noticed Blake, Tristan, and Alpha Ozzy were the only ones left. He slowly stood, slipping his hands in his pocket as he walked towards me.

“Alpha Rowan, I look forward to this partnership. I hope to meet your Luna this evening..I have heard she is one of a kind. Or so my Luna says.” He said cockily..the way he mentioned my mate made my jaw tick. I didn’t like the way he brought her up..not one f*****g bit and who was his Luna to know my Mila?

“I hadn’t realized our Luna’s have met before.” I tried not to sound hostile but was failing miserably..

“Oh yeah, Chloe has said some great things about her.” There was a glint in his eyes and my b***d ran cold..no f*****g way..it can’t be that Chloe..right?
