The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Sadie)

I can’t lie when I say the guilt I felt was practically eating me alive..this is what I feared when I accepted the mating bond..having to hurt and disappoint my mate because of the reason I was here, to begin with.

I knew my purpose and the fact that I was given Tristan at all confused the hell out of me.. Why would the moon goddess do this when the possibility of my life being sacrificed for the greater good was looming over my head? It’s putting doubts and fears in my mind that never existed before.

I know Tristan is hurt..but I refused to involve him in this..I can’t afford the distraction. I needed all of my attention on Mila and helping her. She was the only way to find Rowan and they would never allow it. I have been there for the conversations..how they think she is weak and fragile. Maybe that’s another reason why I didn’t want anyone else to go..because there is a possibility her secret would get out. I had a feeling Rowan already knew..and with this whole Grandpa Scott thing..I sense he is onto it too. If too many people find out it could be bad..very bad. It can potentially start a damn war..

So this is the safest bet..we find Rowan’s location..we send it to Tristan and then we go in alone. We need to be discreet about this and make sure we aren’t seen or heard. That I can f*****g do..I have been doing that all of my life and I know we can do this.

I glanced over at Mila as she looked out of the car window anxiously. We have been driving for seven hours now. The man who picked us up was one of Grandpa Scott’s friends from a different pack. He looked to be in his mid-forties and was the strong silent type. Mila would tell him what direction to go and he would just nod his head and follow it. We haven’t spoken much..not like I could anyway..but the silence is deafening, more than usual.

Occasionally the bond would falter, causing us to stop for a moment and take a break so Mila could try and concentrate, her mental strength wavering as she tried so hard to grasp at the connection before achieving that link once again.

I was amazed..I knew it was a high probability that Rowan was sedated or given something to knock Bain out..so the fact that Mila could feel their bond and follow it..that was her goddess-born gift and she didn’t even know.

I felt a glimpse of what she was capable of in the interrogation room..the strength she harbors deep inside. If her heart wasn’t so damn pure and kind..she would be something to fear for sure.

“We’re getting closer.” She whispered, the fire in her eyes growing stronger by the second.

“I think we should rest tonight and continue on foot tomorrow.” She said stoically, glancing towards the man driving who’s name we didn’t even know.

‘Are you sure you want to stop?’

I linked, seeing the worry in her eyes as she met my gaze now.

‘We need to regain our energy for this..and I feel the man has done more than enough for us and should go back now..the bond feels very close from here. Sadie..I think you should go back too..I know it was hard for you to leave Tristan like that.’

She began and I swear I did a double take..is she kidding me? No way in hell would I let her do this alone..

‘Mila stop..we are in this together..no matter what.’

I linked firmly while taking her hand in my own and squeezing hard. I could see her shoulders visibly relax as she let out a deep sigh and nodded her head.

‘I know..I just needed to give you the option..to let you know it is okay.’

She continued making me feel that guilt once more for abandoning my mate.

‘It will be okay Sade..I promise we will get back to him.’

Savanah whispered, encouraging me as I was the one to look out of the window now.

I truly hope he forgives us though..I don’t think I could bear it if he didn’t want anything to do with us after this.

Mila told the driver what we were planning to do and he just nodded his head before pulling into a small remote town that looked practically abandoned. We luckily found a motel and were able to get two rooms that were right next to each other.

Mila said her thanks to the man and told him we would most likely not be here when he woke up and expressed to him how grateful she was for his help. The man just brushed it off and told us he would guard our room all night because that was what he was hired to do and went about his business.

I quite liked this guy to be honest..I wouldn’t mind working with him again in the future..but hopefully not under these circumstances..

We entered the small room which had two queen beds and I watched as Mila quickly flopped onto her side.

‘Bain is definitely being suppressed. I can feel him locked away in that darkness.’

She informed me while turning on her side and laying her head atop her hands gently.

‘So he won’t be able to shift. We can probably carry him on our backs, alternating between the two of us.’

I thought into our link, laying on my own side now as Mila and I stared at one another.

‘Sadie..if he is hurt in any way..I don’t think I can contain this.’

She whispered, her eyes glowing softly just from airing her concerns alone.

‘Mila, for us to do this..to get him, I feel in my gut that you have to let it out. You can’t hold back or feel remorse..one hesitation and it could potentially cost us his life.’

I didn’t want to freak her out..but I knew she was struggling with herself..she didn’t want to hurt people and yet this was the only way to save her mate. Ozzy was obviously psychotic and wanted Mila for reasons I can only speculate on..how he figured it out I have no f*****g clue..but he couldn’t live with that knowledge..because if Ozzy wants her this bad..then he is already too far gone to be saved. He will never give up searching for that power just like Marcus..

‘I know..I just..I don’t understand why. Why do the people around me have to get hurt? What does Alpha Ozzy want? I don’t get it..’

She sighed before laying on her back and placing her arm over her eyes, hiding herself from the world.

‘We live in a cruel world Mila, a world where evil and angry people seem to triumph. But something I have learned along the way..good does win in the end..and people like Ozzy will meet their demise one way or another.’

It might not be fair that these men can hurt so many people in their lives and end up never feeling remorse..but I have no doubt in my mind that the moon goddess always has a plan.

We ended up sleeping for a couple of hours as the constant reminder of our mission lingered around us. It was almost impossible not to feel the pressure of what might be waiting for us as we tried our hardest to keep ourselves pulled together.

Just as the late hours of the night passed, we pulled ourselves out of bed and silently made our way to the door. I could sense the man who drove us still hanging around as he kept his word and was watching over us. After creeping out of the room, our eyes met and we both nodded our goodbyes as Mila and I stalked towards the forest.

I needed to bring my phone with me so we could call Tristan and drop our location as soon as we found it. That was my backup plan..to have Black Stone come for us if I fail this. I needed to make sure no matter what Mila would be taken care of, even if something bad happened to me.

I stripped off my close as soon as we nestled ourselves deep into the dark woods..using the dark to shield us to give us the upper hand.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

I scooped up my jeans into my mouth as I closed my jaw and made sure my phone was safely secured.

‘Ready?’

Mila linked, the sight of Calypso making me gasp as I couldn’t pull my eyes away from her. Her stance was fierce and strong as her eyes glowed with such intensity it was as if the power from inside of her was pulsing out and seeping into the ground around her..this energy unlike anything I had ever felt before..she was f*****g magnificent and ready to put an end to this.

‘Let’s go get my mate.’

Mila growled, making Savanah lower her head in submission as she sprinted off, causing us to follow right behind her..this wolf standing before me..this was a goddess..this is what Mila was capable of and Ozzy won’t know what hit him..he is going to wish he never laid his hands on her mate..and I can’t f*****g wait to see him begging on his knees for forgiveness..now that, I am looking forward to.
