The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Mila)

I awoke to the sound of rain falling outside as I struggled to lift my heavy eyelids. The room was dark and foreign with a thick musty smell surrounding me. Lifting my hand, I shakily felt the bed next to me. Trying to become aware of my surroundings.

‘Mila, we have to get out of here.’

Calypso spoke quietly, her presence weak as I tried to get the strength to sit up. Whatever magic was used seemed to wipe me out completely.

Looking towards the window I needed to plan my escape route. I didn’t know how much time had passed or if the smartwatch even gave Tristan my location. I reached down, my hand unclasping the watch as I tried to turn it on..my heart dropped when I saw the screen was cracked. Anxiety began to fill me, the realization of what I had done finally crashing down. If they can’t find me, this could end horribly. One thing I knew for sure though was I wouldn’t leave this place until I stopped Marcus once and for all…I just thought I would have our warriors to help. It really might end up being just me and Marcus going face to face like this whole thing started.

Before I could get up to try the window, I heard the door unlock. My body went rigid, the fear of Marcus coming in filled me as I looked throughout the room for any type of weapon.

“No use in getting up, the magic won’t wear off for a few more hours.” He said with a smirk..seeing my mate’s face making me turn my head, unable to look at this monster.

“Oh, come on Mil, you knew it was going to end up like this.” Marcus said, sitting on the bed as I tried to jerk away, my body still too sluggish and heavy.

“Why..why did you do this?” I breathed, feeling the tears threatening to spill as all I wanted to do was kill this man..to kill the man that took so much from me already.

“You’re going to have to clarify…I’ve done a lot of shit lately.” He laughed, the sound making my b***d boil as I turned my head toward him.

“Why did you take me, why did you kill my mom..why me?” I was seething..how he could laugh in front of my face like this..how he even stole my mate’s appearance..what was wrong with him? How did I not see how twisted he was all of those years? How did I not know?

“Oh, I see you have been busy. I guess you met that Alpha.” He spat, disgust filling his face..the face that hurts me to even look at. I couldn’t do it…I refused to.

“You mean my real father? You were the Alpha that took everything away, you were the man I should have been hiding from this whole time!” I yelled weakly, tired of this..tired of how this man has lied to me my whole life..how delusional he was about everything.

Suddenly his hand jerked out, gripping my chin tight as he forcefully turned my head towards him.

“I took everything from you? You are gravely mistaken my girl..that so called father of yours took everything from ME! I was supposed to have Natalia..she was mine from the start..but then I realized..she was just the beginning, she was supposed to give you to me..” He said like a complete psycho, his grip tightening as I refused to meet his gaze.

“You were going to be my mate, my Luna, my goddess. All I needed was for you to turn eighteen..to get your wolf so I could mark you..then that f*****g Rogue came and you had to go out and find that prick…you let him touch you..mark you.” He shoved my head away, disgust filling him from the mere thought of my mate.

“But I have the answer to that..that’s why you are here..that’s why I let that little tracker you had on go through before I smashed it.” He stood, looking down at me as my eyes widened, a gasp leaving me. What was he planning?

“What are you going to do?” I asked worriedly, my chest tightening from what he was capable of.

“Well, you are a smart girl..what do you think? What’s the only way a mate can remove their mark? Magic doesn’t work..trust me I have done my research..and there’s no way in hell that a*****e would give you up..” a wicked grin pulled at the corner of his mouth as the realization of what he was planning to do hit me like a ton of bricks..

“No..you can’t..” I yelled, trying to get up, trying to do something..anything. He planned to kill my mate, my Rowan. This was his idea all along..I fell right into his trap.

Marcus pushed me back, making me fall on the bed as he hovered over me, his hot breath making me feel disgusted as he laughed in my face.noveldrama

“I can and I will..” He whispered close to my ear.

‘We will kill him before he can even touch our mate!’

Calypso growled protectively.

Rage flashed through me as I suddenly slammed my head sideways, hitting him hard in the face making him yell and fall back off of the bed.

He quickly stood up, b***d dripping down his nose as he stared down at me, his eyes wide with surprise.

“I trained you well my girl..” he laughed dryly, clenching his hands into fists as he tried to compose himself.

“And I will use what you taught me to kill you myself..that I promise you Marcus.” I proclaimed with certainty, vowing to keep my word..and from the look in his eyes..he seemed to believe it.

He quickly stormed out of the room, slamming and locking the door as I couldn’t hold that rage in any longer..

“You will never be my mate! You will never be him and I will never let you..I would rather die than be mated with you!” I screamed, that anger taking over as I tried my hardest to move my arms and legs..I can’t let him do this..there is no way..no way in hell.

I quickly rolled off the bed, falling to the floor with a loud thud as pain shot through my side. I didn’t care..I needed to get out of here..I needed to save Rowan. All of those nightmares began flashing through my mind. All of the times he died, how real it felt, and how Marcus made me watch every second. I can’t let that happen, I wouldn’t be able to live in this world without him..there is no way…it would be all my fault, my stupid rash decision might of just cost my mate his life.

Tears began to fall as my arms gave out, making me collapse against the floor. My heart aching just from the mere idea…I felt useless…I was a fool, why did I do this? why did I think I could do this?

‘Mila, darling it’s okay..we will get through this..we won’t let him hurt our mate..our mate is strong, he would do anything to save us. Marcus will never be able to hurt him..didn’t you feel it? Didn’t you notice Lucius was no longer with him?’

She spoke softly, causing my head to snap up as the realization hit…I didn’t feel Lucius…I didn’t feel his wolf now that she said that…

‘Lucius abandoned him…’

I stated, a glimmer of hope now rising..if he has no wolf, then there is no way he could ever go against Rowan..Bain has to win..no..he will win and he will kill Marcus. my mate will end this all and I will spend the rest of my life begging for his forgiveness for running away yet again. Please Moon Goddess..please protect my mate..protect my love.
