The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Mila)

That bright light that once consumed me, now surrounded me. The fear of what had just happened was nowhere to be found as a comforting warmth tickled my skin, making my eyes flutter open as I sat up in bed. The feel of soft fabrics glided against my skin as I stretched my hand out, searching for my mate instinctively. Turning my head I noticed there were beautiful silk sheets draped across the bed in shimmering silvers and whites. Upon further observation, the room seemed to be made of thick fluffy white, pink, and blue clouds as I looked down and realized I was now wearing a silver sheer robe.

Where the heck am I? Did I die? Is this the afterlife? Where is my Rowan?

The thoughts raced through my mind as a soft chuckle echoed around me, making me jump.

“When I gifted you, my child, with this mating bond..I never dreamed your love would be this strong..but then again, your mother loved just as hard as you did.” A soft ethereal voice whispered next to my ear, causing me to turn my head in shock as I was now face-to-face with a beautiful woman who had long silver hair and emerald green eyes. I blinked in confusion..her face was so familiar but I knew I had never met her before.

“Who are you? Where am I?” I began, watching as this woman who looked to be in her late twenties reach out and caress my cheek gently, causing a jolt of electricity to spark through me.

“I am a part of you, my sweet Amelia. I am that piece of you that you have so many questions about.” Her words confused me even more..and yet I felt as if I could trust this woman..like I know this woman deep down in my soul…and then it hit me..

“Are you..the moon goddess?!” I gasped, seeing a warm smile pull at this woman’s lips who acted so comfortably around me.

The woman laughed before tucking a stray lock of hair behind my ear and gazed at me with an emotion I couldn’t quite identify.

“Yes, I am that, but there is more that I must tell you, my child.” She slid her hand down before intertwining our fingers and pulling me to stand. Her eyes studied me carefully as she walked with such elegance and refinement. She wore a similar silver robe, but hers had beautiful diamond stars and moons scattered all around it. She looked like a goddess..that is for sure. I had never seen someone so beautiful..

Slowly she walked me through the room that looked like clouds and entered through a door. Once inside the house seemed to change, turning into some type of temple with stone statues and beautiful pottery with some type of historical events painted upon them. She brought me over to the first statue, it was of a wolf sitting down and a woman beside it, her hand resting on the wolf’s back as it howled up towards the sky.

“Do you know that each of my children are very special to me? Every wolf I have created, I know them inside and out, the paths they were destined to take. Each mate is created to match their souls perfectly..but then there is the human side to them. Their free will gives them imperfections which everyone must have. But you my beautiful girl, I didn’t just create you..I made you from love..my b***d flows inside of you. Your mother also the same, and her mother before her.” The moon goddess began to explain, her hand still grasping mine as it felt cool and soft to the touch.

“Do you understand what I am telling you, Amelia?” She asked me curiously while pulling me to the next statue which was of her with a man.

Okay, I didn’t want to sound stupid here..so I didn’t say anything..she couldn’t possibly be saying I am related to her..could she? I mean, I guess we all are essentially connected to the moon goddess considering she created us..but her b***d is inside of me? How is that even possible..

“It is possible because I too seemed to have faults. I wanted love..I wanted to know what it is like to have a piece of your soul in another. So I created him..my mate.” She dropped that bomb on me as my eyes widened and I looked towards the statues.

The Moon Goddess had a mate? Wait..suddenly Rowan’s story flooded through my mind, how he spoke of a daughter and how the moon goddess came to our world and had a child. Oh goddess..it was all true?! Then does that mean..

I gasped, my head snapping to the side as I stared at the moon goddess with complete shock.

“Yes, you are essentially my granddaughter.” She smiled brightly and suddenly I felt as if everything finally clicked. The feeling inside of me finding its place as that cloud of confusion began to dissipate. That was why Marcus wanted my mother..why he wanted me..that was why Ozzy wanted me..they spoke of a power inside of me.

Oh goddess..my head began to spin as I felt Calypso sitting up straighter, the news not seeming to hit her as hard as it did me.

‘Did you know this?’

I asked softly, feeling like my whole life has been one big secret.

‘I knew we were always different, that our strength and connection to the goddess was above everyone else’s.’

She explained and that honesty made me feel somewhat better..If she had known all along and hadn’t said anything I don’t know how I would have felt.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“There are people in your life that do know..people I asked to protect you Amelia. I wanted you to live as normal of a life as possible..but there are those that want to use who you are to gain control. To become the strongest in your world…that is why I am telling you this now my child.” She said softly, her hand reaching up and wiping a stray tear from my cheek. I don’t know why I was even crying..but the realization of why those people have been after me and hurting my mate hit me hard. That is why Ozzy said what he did..that Rowan would be safe if I left him..wait..did..did Rowan know?

Apparently, the moon goddess can read my thoughts loud and clear because she pulled me into her arms and began hugging me tightly.

“Your mate, Rowan, he loves you more than anything in this world. He was chosen because I knew he would protect you..he would put you above all else..just as his great-grandfather did all those years ago. How he saved my sweet Selina and protected her from those men.” The moon goddess explained, making me blink away my tears as she pulled back and continued to wipe my cheeks.

“Is he..he is okay isn’t he?” I asked fearfully, knowing for a fact that if Rowan wasn’t okay..I couldn’t bear it..

“Yes, he is safe, and so is Sadie..She is such a kind girl..please, when you go back, tell her to open her heart fully. To trust in the goddess and the bond she was given and more than deserves.” I couldn’t help but feel relief from her words. My body relaxed instantly as I felt Calypso calm as well.. They were okay..he was okay..

“And my child, I know he says he isn’t ready..but it is a gift that was meant to be given. Something so sweet that was meant to be from the beginning..I didn’t want to intervene..but that mate of yours is very stubborn.” She laughed softly before looking down and placing her hand on my belly. Her eyes filled with tears as she stared at me lovingly.

“Wait..wait..what do you mean?” I was more shocked than confused as I glanced down..was she suggesting that I was…no it can’t be.

“You will find out soon enough..but my child, do not be angry with your mate. I was the one who told him to keep your identity from you..I thought it would be best..but I know now it is safer if you know.” She added before pulling her hand back and fixing my hair by placing it over my shoulder.

“Such a beautiful girl..my sweet granddaughter. I am always here watching over you..just know I wish we could be together. I wish you could live here with us but it isn’t the right way, you belong there with him…with your new family and pack.” She whispered and suddenly I felt my body begin to tingle.

“It is time for you to wake up, but first there is someone who has been wanting to meet you.” She said quickly, glancing behind her shoulder towards a woman dressed in white..she..she looked just like me but older. Her body seemed to be glowing as her emerald eyes pierced mine.

“My beautiful Amelia..” She cried out before racing over to me and enveloping me in a hug.

“M..mom?” I breathed, hugging this woman I had seen so many pictures of recently but had never met before..yet somehow I feel like I know her with all of my heart.

“Yes, my little flower. You have grown into such a beautiful kind woman..I am so proud of you..so proud.” She whispered sweetly and I couldn’t stop the tears from flooding down my cheeks.

“You have to go back, but just know we are always with you..and please..tell your father I am happy for him..that my love for him is eternal.” She added before the room began to dim. My body started to tingle all over as I began to slip away from my mother’s hold.

“Wait..mom..I..I love you.” I breathed, trying to hold on as I knew I must have been waking back up.

“I love you too my flower..stay with your Rowan..stay with him always and be strong. You are capable of so much..you are stronger than you know.” Her words swirled around me as that darkness took over.

I began to flutter my eyes, the feeling of something heavy draped across my waist as I g*****d out, my head lulling from side to side as I tried so hard to open my eyes.

“Mila, baby, it’s okay I’m right here my love..I’m right here.” Rowan’s voice pierced through me, bringing me back to the present as I opened my eyes and was met with his blue gaze. Only, one eye was now covered with a black patch and I couldn’t help but reach my hand up, gliding my fingers across his cheeks as hesitation filled him. Did he think I would feel differently about him? That this would somehow scare me?

I sat up, my arms wrapping around his neck as I kissed him deeply, giving every ounce of love and passion I had in me into that one k**s..oh how I missed the feel of his lips, the taste of his skin..

“Rowan, you’re here..you’re really here.” I gasped, my breathing short and erratic as he looked into my eyes, his hands gripping me tighter as he placed his forehead against my own.

“I love you..I love you so damn much.” He choked out, a single tear falling from his blue eye as I kissed it away.

“I love you too my Rowan..I will never leave your side again..never again.” I whispered, kissing all over his face as I reached his covered eye and kissed that too..showing my mate no matter what I would always love him..I would always be his and he mine..nothing will ever keep us apart..nothing will ever get between me and my mate, especially since I know who I am now..especially since I know I can protect him. I will protect him no matter what..and no one will ever get between us ever again.
