Chapter 27 - The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Rowan)

I continued to glance over Tristan's shoulder at my sleeping mate as he linked me the latest news.

'The rogues seemed to have moved on from this area for the time being. It has gone quiet, almost too quiet.'

He said, following my gaze for a moment and smiling softly.

'How can you get anything done with her in here?'

He quipped, causing me to narrow my eyes at him.

'It will get easier to be away from her as time goes on, but right now I wouldn't be able to get anything done because I would be too worried.'

He nodded knowingly, Tristan and I have become pretty close the past few years. I knew I could trust him with anything and he took his job very seriously.

'Any word on her dad since she gave us his name?'

He shook his head, sighing softly.

'No William Rosewood that I can find. We contacted the few packs that surround the area and your dad even talked with the elders. Nothing so far. She obviously wouldn't know what pack they were in, but once we find him he can help fill in some blanks.'

I nodded my head, looking over at my gorgeous mate as I wondered where the hell this guy could be.

'I think we should take her tomorrow, that way we can just get this over with. She is becoming more worried every day and I'm afraid if we wait for too long he might go somewhere else or something. If he hasn't already.'

Tristan brought out his phone, checking a text as he looked back up at me.

'Okay, I will let our warriors know. By the way...Chloe has been asking to see you. She is pestering the outside posts.'

Annoyance filled me instantly..fuck, it's not like we were really serious or anything. But I guess I should let her know what's going on.

'Okay, I will deal with it. Fuck..this is why you don't sleep around before finding your mate.'

I groaned into the link and Tristan laughed, nodding slightly.

'Okay, I will send over those reports on the latest patrols and then get a few men together for tomorrow. It might be easier to go in our wolf forms, that way we can cover more ground.'

I agreed, who knows how far away this would be and maybe Bain and Calypso can get some private time on the way. Bain howled with excitement as I couldn't help but smile.

I prayed to the goddess we would find Mila's dad, that way I can make my mate complete. This was the last thing we needed to go on with the ceremonies. And knowing she was missing the one family member she had..well it sucked.

(Mila)

I must have slept for a couple of hours because I awoke to Rowan sitting on the couch, brushing my hair out of my face with his rich masculine scent filling me. I inhaled deeply, a soft smile playing on my lips as I stretched my arms out.

"I could watch you sleep all day." He spoke softly, his head reaching down as he brushed a warm kiss against my lips.

"I would rather have you sleep with me." I cooed, pulling him closer as he chuckled against me.

"I don't think we would get much sleep." His tongue slipped out, brushing my lower lip as a soft gasp left me.

"Sounds good to me." I managed to get out, muffled by his mouth.

He growled into me, his large hands beginning to explore me. My breast hard beneath my shirt as he grazed his thumb against my erect nipple.

Before he could continue I heard a voice outside of the door.

"Dinner time." Blake sang in a sing-song voice.

"In a minute." Rowan yelled between clenched teeth, frustration lacing his tone.

"Mom said now." Blake jiggled the door handle, causing Rowan to get up and stomp over towards it. He yanked the door open firmly as he glared toward Blake.

"Oh you're already ready, come on Mil, you can walk with me." Blake said with a grin.

"Can you please just go one day without making me want to punch you in the face.." Rowan growled and I quickly stood up, walking towards them.

"Come on, we need to eat anyway." I smiled at Rowan, trying to calm the situation.

"I did have plans to eat, it just involved you on the bed naked and not with my family." He said hastily against my ear, the words causing a shiver of pleasure to run up my spine.

"You know I can hear you..." Blake frowned, walking next to us as we entered the elevator.

"Good, maybe you will get the hint then and leave." Rowan said, cooly. I shot him a glare.

"Rowan, be nice, we can give them one meal at least.." I felt bad, his parents really wanted to spend time with us but he just wanted me for himself. Which I wasn't complaining about...I just didn't want his parents to think it was me who didn't want to do all of these things.

Rowan began sulking and I wrapped my arms around his waist, lifting myself on my tiptoes as I went to whisper in his ear.

"If you are good, maybe I will reward you with something later." I don't know what came over me, but Calypso loved it. She gave me a growl of approval as Rowan's eyes widened.

Suddenly Blake's phone began to make a ping sound over and over, reminding me I left my phone in Rowan's office.

"Ugh, Jessica just can't take no for an answer..how did you break things off with Chloe?" He said nonchalantly, looking down at the texts coming in. I felt Rowan stiffen, his eyes glancing at me quickly.

The memory of meeting her earlier causing jealousy to rise up, picturing them together. His mouth on hers, his hands touching her body. A possessive growl left me, causing Rowan to do a double-take as he looked down at me. I looked away, embarrassed by the sound that escaped me.

"Oh dude she already knows about Chloe, I told her the first night in the hospital." Blake said quickly and I swear Rowan was about to punch him in the face. His eyes clouded over as he was obviously saying something to Blake through their link. Blake swallowed hard, nodding his head.

I just walked forward, trying to find my way towards the dining room as I spotted Tristan and a few guards talking. He looked up at me smiling and I waved happily. Afterward he glanced at Blake and Rowan, obviously seeing how angry Rowan was and I just shrugged my shoulders.

Rowan's arm snaked around my waist, not letting me go even though he was fighting with his brother over mind link.

Were things with him and Chloe more serious than I thought? Why was he so upset Blake brought it up? I started to go down a dark path, maybe he was going to make Chloe his Luna. Is that why she was so shocked when she saw me?
