The Luna's Hidden Destiny

(Rowan)

I held my mate’s hand, her fingers intertwined with mine as I pulled her close to me and placed a tender k**s against her temple.

She looked absolutely stunning tonight..she was in a gorgeous dark blue dress that had long sleeves and hugged her curves. My eyes kept wandering down to her stomach. It was still flat now but the mere idea of her belly swelling in the future from our pup had my heart doing all sorts of flips and spins.

Mila was my whole world..my mate, my Luna, my goddess..she was my reason and to know she is pregnant with our pup..I never thought I wanted something so bad until that very moment I heard her say those words..now we just had to tell my mom and dad. My Grandpa is currently visiting with my uncle right now so Mila wanted to tell him when he gets back. But knowing him, he probably already knows somehow..that’s just the way he is, Grandpa Scott just seems to know everything.

We decided to have a big family dinner so Mila and I could share the news. She already called her dad before we left and he started crying..I can’t blame him..I have honestly cried more in the past two days then I ever have in my damn life..you would think I’m the pregnant one. How did this whole thing flip so drastically?

Suddenly I saw Mila yawn, making me to turn to her and squeeze her hand gently.

“Are you okay baby?” I asked worriedly, coming to the realization that this whole pregnancy was going to make me even more crazy..and I swear I just got that under control.

“Just a little tired, Dr. Lewis said it’s pretty common.” She reassured me, making me nod my head as I pulled her closer to my side with my arm now wrapped around her waist protectively. The urge to have her close and to protect her was stronger than ever now that I knew about our pup, my natural instinct to be near my mate was growing by the second.

As soon as we entered the dining room I noticed Sadie, Tristan, Lottie, their parents, and Blake all sitting at the table. Everyone pretty much knew but our parents at this point.

I quickly walked over to the table, pulling out Mila’s chair for her before helping her sit down and kissing her on the mouth possessively..I couldn’t help it..Bain was urging me to show everyone that she was mine.

‘I see it’s already starting..’

Blake linked, causing me to glare at him as I went to sit next to my mate.

‘I’m not the one who sent Mila twenty texts about newborn photoshoot ideas or some shit.’

I grumbled back, knowing Blake was going to try to be as involved in this pregnancy as much as possible..he even tried to get Mila to send him all of her appointment dates so he could put them in his calendar.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Hey! You gotta plan for that stuff..our pups going to be here sooner than you realize.’

Oh goddess..did he seriously just say OUR pup?

I was about to unload on him when the sound of heels clicking down the hall echoed into the room.

‘Your lucky mom and dad just got here.’

I grumbled, lifting Mila’s hand and kissing the back of it as I continued to glare at Blake.

‘You two aren’t fighting again are you?’

Mila linked us both suspiciously and Blake and I responded at the same damn time.

‘Yes.’

Blake linked.

‘No.’

I linked, making me look bad..I just didn’t want to stress her out.

‘Well cut it out, they are almost here.’

She scolded, looking at me with a raised eyebrow, causing me to pout. That always gets her.. Her eyes softened and I could feel her relax as I watched her lean forward and give me a sweet k**s. I couldn’t stop my hand from dropping down as I placed my palm on her stomach, rubbing slow soothing circles..wanting to be as close to our pup as possible.

Mila just stared up at me and smiled, the warmth in her eyes causing me to grin before turning my attention to my mom and dad who just sat down.

“Sorry we are late, your mother was apparently dressing for some type of formal event..” My dad grumbled, earning an elbow to the ribs.

“What, can’t a woman just want to dress nice? Plus it’s not every day that my son is the one to plan our evening. So son..what is the occasion I might ask?” My mother inquired, her eyes brightening as she looked between Mila and me curiously. I wondered for a moment what she was thinking..I told Blake to come up with some reason to have Mom not get suspicious but by the way she was acting it seemed like he told her something she was excited about.

‘What did you tell mom? She is acting too happy..’

I linked, eyeing my brother as he stifled a laugh and took a long sip of his water.

‘Oh, just that you really really wanted to throw a huge ball to commemorate your return home.’

He winked at me, causing me to narrow my eyes..seriously? Oh goddess..at least this news will make the fact that there will be no ball more easy to swallow. I swear..my mom and her parties..she should have become a damn event planner or something..

“Why don’t we eat first, then we can share the big news.” I said casually, enjoying watching my mother squirm..she hated being out of the loop and was so rarely that it was kind of fun to see her trying to hold in the fact she supposedly knew why we were here.

“Really son? Come on..why do you have to torture me..” She g*****d, making my father laugh before he tried to cover it with a cough, he was enjoying this too.

“Well, if I tell you I don’t know if you will be able to eat..you are going to freak out.” I said cooly, watching as our servers began to bring in the trays of food.

“Seriously? I’m not that extra..I won’t freak out. You are being dramatic son.” She waved her hand in the air, shooing away the mere idea that she would make a big deal about what we had to tell her.

My dad just sat there, trying not to add his two cents as he made eye contact with Tristan’s dad, Glenn. They both shared a knowing look as their mates watched us with bated breath.

“Okay, well, since you are so freaking persistent..” I mumbled, glancing at Mila who gave me an encouraging smile. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the scream that would surely make our ears bleed.

“Mila is pregnant.” I blurted, watching as my mother’s knowing smile soon faltered and her face morphed into complete shock as she glanced between us.

That’s when the loudest cheer I had ever heard boomed through the room, making my eyes widen as they quickly shifted to my dad. He had jumped from his seat and began hollering in excitement, his legs moving as fast as they could as he barreled into me.

“A granpup, I’m going to be a grandpa!!” He cried out, making everyone at the table’s jaw drop as we watched my dad freak out..what the hell? I was not expecting that. Soon enough I heard small sniffles as I dragged my eyes away from my dad who was embracing Mila to my mom who was now sobbing quietly. Her body shook as I couldn’t help but stand and walk over to her where Blake was soon by our sides.

“Rowan..this better not be a joke.” She sniffled before wiping her cheeks as I crouched down to meet her gaze.

“It’s not, mom..Mila is pregnant..we are going to have a pup and you will be a grandma.” I whispered, seeing Blake wrap his arms around her as she continued to cry..

“Are..are you happy?” I asked, completely confused by her reaction as I saw her nodding her head as she finally smiled and rushed towards me with her arms open wide.

“Thank you..thank you for following the Moon Goddess’s plan..oh Rowan..I knew it was meant to be..I knew in my heart you two would have a pup soon.” She cried out, her small frame being engulfed by not only me but Blake as well.

I won’t tell them this wasn’t necessarily planned..they don’t need to know that small detial..but I think my mom is right. This was meant to be and the moon goddess made sure it happened no matter what.

“We are having a pup!” Blake cheered, jumping up and down with my mom as my dad soon came to join in with Mila right behind him.

My mom pulled her into a warm hug as she looked at Mila with so much love and warmth that my heart began to swell..this is what we needed..our pup was the blessing that all of us have been waiting for even if I didn’t realize it at the time. Now we just have to make sure the pup is born into a safe pack..a place where we know nothing can hurt them..we need to handle this rogue situation soon and then all will be right… That’s the most important thing, keeping my goddess and our sweet pup safe.
