The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Mila)

It had been a whole week since the Ozzy interrogation, and everything was pure freaking chaos.. Rowan called the emergency meeting with the elders, telling them everything we learned from Ozzy. They decided to start their investigation immediately by dispatching a group of warriors to every pack in a 5,000-mile radius.

That was the only way to do this, going pack by pack and making sure everything was in order. We already had the two pack names, and I was a little disappointed in myself for not giving time for Ozzy to tell us more. I couldn’t though..I felt that pressure building and building..it felt like I had no choice but to end his life or I would blow. I tried to control it for as long as I could, and before I knew it, my hand was plunging into his chest and gripping his heart. I don’t want to admit this to Rowan, but when that rage came out, it’s like I took a back seat into my mind, and Calypso took over control. She is the one who gave the punishment..her words replaced my own as I just sat back and watched.

This is all new to me..this feeling of immense strength and power accompanied by the urge to seek justice from those who have wronged me and the ones I love. Not to say I didn’t have feelings like that before..I just never acted on it. I remember when I was a young girl, how Marcus would train me and how he didn’t hold back. The punches hit me hard, making me bleed and ache, and yet I refused to fight back that way. Violence always made my stomach turn, so having killed multiple people now, I just didn’t know how to wrap my head around it..was I becoming a monster?

‘Don’t think like that, Darling, we are protecting the ones we love. We are protecting our pack and all those we swore to risk our lives for.’

Calypso spoke softly. I had just entered our office floor and was going to check on Rowan, who had been in meetings all day.

I was with him for most of the conference calls, but I just left to go check on Laura and speak with a few pack members who had recently found mates. We like to celebrate every mating match with recognition from the Alpha and Luna. It isn’t required, but a lot of families like to keep the tradition that has been going on since the first Alpha of Black Stone was in charge. So Lottie, Laura, Sadie, and I were out visiting the families’ homes to welcome the new unions. It was nice to get out and see our pack members, it definitely helped keep my mind off of things for a few moments.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

There have also been a couple of pups recently born, and I was about to head to the hospital to bring a few care packages to the new mothers and fathers who are there waiting to be released. I wanted to meet with Dr. Lewis as well..I just couldn’t wait any longer to confirm it..I just had to see the proof, then I would decide when to tell Rowan.

I walked up to our office door with John and Dan close behind. They have been following me around all day per Rowan’s request and I felt bad for making them run all over town.

I knocked on the door, the sound of Rowan’s deep voice already making my heart race as I took a deep breath and tried to seem calm..but in reality, I was freaking the hell out..the thought of our pup constantly invading my mind as I tried to push it away for now..yeah, that wasn’t working too well.

“Come in baby.” He announced softly.

I slowly opened the door and stuck my head in, seeing my father-in-law, Blake, Tristan, Grandpa Scott, Glenn, and Elder Nicolas all sitting around. I swear Elder Nicolas practically lived her at this point..I think they even gave him his own floor.

‘You didn’t have to knock my love.’

Rowan linked before standing up and coming over to me.

‘I just didn’t want to disrupt anything.’

I responded while feeling his arms wrap around my body slowly.

‘”Are you heading for the hospital now?” He asked out loud as everyone pretty much stared at us.

“Yeah, I asked Greta to bring you guys some lunch soon and Sadie is going to come with me Tristan.” I informed before turning my head and pressing my cheek against Rowan’s hard chest.

I just needed to be with him for a moment..I needed to hear his heart beating beneath me..I needed to know everything was going to be okay because to be honest..I was afraid..

‘Hey..what’s wrong Baby?’

He spoke softly, his fingers tangling in my hair as he played with it instinctively.

“I just missed you, that’s all.’

I explained before turning my turning my head and looking up into his blue and silver eyes.

‘I missed you too my love, so damn much.’

He admitted before bending down and placing a soft k**s to my lips.

‘Want to watch a movie tonight? Just you and me?’

He asked before sliding his hands down and rubbing my back soothingly.

I just nodded my head and pulled away, knowing if I stayed any longer I might break down and cry…I’m going to blame that on the pregnancy hormones..or maybe I have always been this needy.

I gave him one last k**s and said my goodbyes before walking out of the office and ready to make my way to the hospital.

‘Mil, let me know please..I know you don’t want to tell Rowan yet, but I am here for you and you have all of my support..okay?’

Blake linked, catching me off guard as I couldn’t help the lone tear that trickled down my cheek.

Suddenly the doors to the elevator opened and there stood Sadie, her eyes full of concern as soon as she saw me..I couldn’t help it..I broke down..

‘Mila..what’s wrong?! What happened?!’

She asked worriedly in the link, her eyes wide as she gripped my arms and pulled me into her chest, making me sob even more embarrassingly loud. John and Dan just stared at me with horror as they didn’t know what to do…oh goddess..what is wrong with me?!

“I…I..think..” I tried to say between sobs, feeling the elevator stop as the doors suddenly burst open, revealing a panting Rowan as he looked at me with bewilderment.

“What happened?! What is wrong?!” He shouted, making me realize he must of felt my emotion through our bond..

I froze..the tears streaming down my cheeks as he reached for me..I couldn’t stop..I couldn’t control the wave of emotions crashing through me as everyone was so confused.

“She just started crying Alpha sir.” John explained, making me hiccup as I tried even harder to stop these tears from streaming down my face.

“Mila, take a deep breath, calm down baby.” Rowan spoke calmly, his words making me listen as I took a deep shuddering breath and placed my palms over my eyes, trying to hide myself.

I can’t keep this from him anymore..I can’t lie and I can’t hide it..it’s eating me up inside.

“I..I’m..I’m pregnant.” I blurted out in a sob..not wanting to tell him like this..not wanting to face the possibility of how he would react..it’s too late now..there is no going back, it’s all put there and if he doesn’t want this, if he runs from me or decides he isn’t ready..I don’t know what I will do..it will crush me, absolutely destroy me, that much I know is true.
