The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Tristan)

Hours had passed since that dreadful call. That a*****e’s words loomed over us as I glanced across the table at a quiet Mila. We hadn’t told her yet..I don’t know why everyone keeps her in the dark. Blake thinks this will be the final straw that breaks her. He thinks she will sacrifice herself for Rowan..and I think why the hell not? Mila isn’t some damsel in distress. I saw a side of her that has been buried deep, one that only the threat against her mate could drag out.

I say we tell her about it and come up with a f*****g plan. We have two damn days and here we are, sitting at the f*****g dinner table acting like there isn’t a damn solution to any of this.

We need to just let Mila lead us to him and we kill that f*****g bastard and get our Alpha back. That’s what we should be doing, but instead, Vincent and Blake are sitting there deep in thought trying to come up with another plan that doesn’t involve Mila.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Even Sadie is acting weird..she has been holding my hand and being more affectionate than ever before. Maybe because she senses my stress but usually she isn’t one to instigate affection in public because my princess is so damn shy and adorable.

I glanced over at my mate, catching her eyes burning into me as she offered me a soft smile before squeezing my hand..which she hasn’t let go of once since the moment we sat down. Good thing I’m left-handed..

‘Princess, is everything okay?’

I linked, feeling uneasy for some reason as I stared into those wild aqua eyes I have already come to love so damn much. f**k me I have fallen hard..

She just smiled while nodding her head before leaning into me and placing a soft k**s on the corner of my mouth.

“So Son, I was thinking we should get together to discuss a few things. Us men..” Felix Scott’s voice boomed through the thick silence, snapping me from the trance my mate had me in. Damn, it was so easy to get lost in her eyes…and then once her scent wrapped around me..game over, seriously. I have never been one to get distracted but with Sadie around I find myself missing conversations I didn’t even realize were going on.

“Dad, I think everyone has had a long day.” Vincent mumbled, pushing his food around his plate aimlessly as he glanced towards Mila and back down at his plate. He looked pale and his eyes dark like he hadn’t slept since this whole thing started.

“I think we need this more than ever. Just a few drinks to unwind.” Felix pushed again, slapping Blake on the back in a friendly manner before meeting my gaze.

“We can just go through a few things, get all our heads together and get on the same page.” He added, and it wasn’t such a bad idea..I needed them to see my side of this. Blake was against using Mila in any way and I know it will be hard to get him to budge. He is thinking about what Rowan would want..but I just feel like Mila is the answer to all of this. If we just give her a chance and heard what she wanted..she doesn’t have to do this alone, we would figure it all out together. There is no f*****g way we would just throw her to that prick and hope for the damn best.

“Fine, just a few drinks then.” Vincent muttered before taking a bite of his food.

“That means we can have some girl time, right sweetheart?” Laura asked Mila softly, her eyes still red and brimming with tears. I can’t even imagine what she is feeling..luckily my mom and dad came back last night and have been able to comfort her.

“Sure Laura, that sounds great.” Mila smiled softly, these being the first words she had spoken all night. I stared at her, watching as she lifted her water glass and took a small sip. It didn’t go unnoticed the way she gripped the glass. How her knuckles turned white and her eyes began to glow that same green I saw earlier.

“Great, we can stay in and watch a movie then.” Laura chimed in once more, her smile the most genuine I had seen in a while.

‘You will go with the girls while I get a drink with the guys Princess?’

I asked curiously, not wanting to leave Sadie alone unless she decided to watch the movie with the girls..which I suspected she would. She hasn’t really left Mila’s side this whole time except for the rare few times.

‘If that’s okay with you.’

She met my gaze, her eyes full of some type of emotion I couldn’t quite decipher. Everyone seemed off tonight..with reason of course though. I just felt like my instincts were being thrown for a loop. I was used to habits and personality traits to predict people’s next moves and right now, I didn’t know what the f**k was going to happen next.

‘Of course beautiful, I want you to have fun.’

I whispered before bringing her hand up to my mouth and kissed her soft smooth skin.

I couldn’t help but linger as the air between us changed, that s****l tension growing thicker by the second as the electricity from our touch made my skin tingle with pure excitement.

‘So this is how you felt when Blake and I were first mated..’

Lottie g*****d into my link, making me shoot her a glare as I cleared my throat and lowered Sadie’s hand into my lap.

‘Lovely isn’t it?’

I added with sarcasm lacing my voice. Lottie just replied with a gagging noise, making my l*p twitch into a smile as I glanced between her and Blake who seemed rather down. He was taking this the hardest besides Mila.

He really blames himself for this whole thing and the guilt is eating him up alive..honestly, Ozzy would have found a way to get to Mila and Rowan no matter what..so yeah it sucks that we essentially welcomed him with open arms, but something tells me he would have found a way in no matter what.

We managed to get through dinner with small talk and a few conversations led by Felix. After we were done we went to gather up in the study to have a few drinks and talk about all of this s**t.

Before I left Sadie, she pulled me in for a deep k**s that took my f*****g breath away..like seriously I was gasping for air by the end of it and I didn’t want to get that drink anymore. I wanted to take my mate straight to bed and ravish that goddess-like body of hers. f**k she was gorgeous.

‘You go talk with the guys, I will see you in bed.’

She whispered into the link, making me frown as she pulled away. I needed one more k**s..something inside of me just didn’t want to leave her yet..

I pulled her flush against my chest, her heart beating so loudly that the sound was like a beautiful melody flowing into my ears. I learned early on that Sadie’s heartbeat has become one of my favorite sounds in the whole f*****g world, considering she can’t speak. I have begun to relish any noise her body makes for me, like her deep breaths or the way her heart races any time I touch her..they are the special things I cherish about her because those sounds belong to me and only me. I am the only person in the world who can affect her like this and it’s a f*****g privilege.

‘Okay, link me when you are done and I will sneak away.’

I added while sliding my hands into her luscious curly hair, her spring scent tickling my senses as I hovered above her. Our eyes locked onto one another as I studied her intently. Her sweet freckles and fair skin, the way her eyelashes fluttered as my warm breath fanned against her pink lips.

“You are stunning.” I gasped, pressing my mouth against her as I tried so damn hard to control myself.

“Come on dude, let’s go.” Blake hollered down the hall, his pissy mood snapping me back to reality as I placed three small rapid k****s against Sadie, making her smile wider.

Pulling back, I sighed heavily as I turned to walk toward Blake.

‘One hour..that’s all I can take.’

I linked, glancing back one last time as I met her gaze, causing me to freeze in place. Her eyes looked glossy and her brow slightly furrowed..she looked…sad.

‘Princess?’

Before I could even finish linking her she lunged forward, crashing into my arms as she wrapped them around my waist tightly, a shuddering breath escaping her sweet lips as I tried to pull her off of me so I could see her face.

‘Princess, what’s wrong?’

I asked worriedly, feeling a rush of sadness flow through our bond because she seemed to reel it back in.

‘I just..I miss you already.’

She admitted, making me chuckle as I looked down at my gorgeous girl.

‘Hey, one hour okay? I promise.’

Sadie just nodded her head before pulling back and looking up at me. I could still feel that sadness but it was only a dull throb now..I miss her already too.. Goddess..what the hell is wrong with us?

‘Give me a k**s Princess.’

I leaned down, locking our lips together as I tasted her sweet lips one last time before I had to leave her. I would definitely make up for it tonight..

After parting ways, I looked back once more, seeing my beautiful mate walk around the corner, causing my heart to drop.

“Well, I never thought I would see the day..you my friend are whipped.” Blake chuckled, his hand slapping my back as I looked at him with annoyance. I was going to let him off with this one though because honestly, I missed hearing his laugh..as painful as it is to admit that.

“Whatever, let’s get this over with.” I grumbled, walking to Vincent’s private study as I noticed Felix pouring us a whole row of shots..oh goddess..what the hell are we getting ourselves into?
