The Luna's Hidden Destiny
The Luna’s Hidden Destiny(Book 2) – Chapter 34

(Rowan)

I don’t know how long I have been here..it could be days..weeks..months? All I know is that it feels like an eternity without her. Those memories of when she was taken before came flooding back..that panic and fear of what could happen to Mila plagued my mind every damn second that passed by.

My head rolled back and forth as my arms stayed outstretched and my eye was officially useless. I could feel the skin slowly healing but I knew without a doubt I would never see through it again.

‘We..need..to..kill..him..” Bain struggled to say, the wolfsbane almost worn off as our connection was barely hanging on. He was weak..but the fire slowly burning deep inside of me kept growing. The need to get out of here to protect Mila fueling me and keeping me afloat.

She just needs to stay in Black Stone…hopefully Blake and my dad are gathering our Allies to take this a*****e down. I pray to the goddess that my Mila stays safe..that she is guarded and being protected at all costs.

If Ozzy gets his hands on her..I can’t even think about it..

I yanked my arms, testing the silver chains for the hundredth time as I tried so damn hard to break free.

“f**k!” I shouted, dropping my head as the image of my sweet girl flooded my mind. I’m sorry Mila..I’m so f*****g sorry. I can feel the anguish..I can feel the deep pain and I know for a fact that it isn’t all mine.

Just as I was getting lost in my thoughts, the familiar sound of shoes stomping down the hall echoed through my room. f*****g Ozzy..I knew his walk by heart now..I knew how the air changed when he was around..how the arrogant prick acted like he owned the whole damn f*****g world..and I couldn’t hate anyone more than I do this a*****e..it’s official, he has even exceeded Marcus now. Those were some big a*s shoes to fill and he passed it with flying colors.

Lifting my head, I heard the door clank before a stream of blinding light filled the room.

“Wakey Wakey!” He shouted, striding in with two guards hot on his heels.

I just glared straight at Ozzy, trying to straighten my posture as my numb arms began to tingle from hanging here for who knows how long.

“Oh f**k man..you look like s**t. Not sure Amelia will even be able to look at you after that one..” He sneered, making me clench and unclench my fists over and over again, wishing they were wrapped around Ozzy’s f*****g throat.

“Might be for the best, considering her eyes will be elsewhere once she finally arrives.” He smirked before looking down at his nails and letting out a sigh.

“It’s f*****g exhausting getting everything ready for her. I just want it all to be perfect, ya know? Especially the bed..since we will be spending most of our time there.” His eyes locked onto mine and it took every damn ounce of strength in me not to react. I didn’t want him to know Bain was back. Maybe he won’t inject the wolfsbane and this will be my chance.

Ozzy stepped closer, his hand snapping out and gripping my throat roughly.

“I didn’t break you already did I? I had so many plans for you Rowan..and you’re starting to disappoint me.” He studied my face intently before pushing me back, his face filling with disgust as he began walking towards the door once more.

“You will be joining me for dinner. We have a very important call to make, I think you are going to want to hear this one.” Ozzy informed me before walking out the door and leaving the two guards in his place.

“Give him the wolfsbane, I don’t want him trying anything.” He added, letting the door slam closed and leaving me with his two goons.

They made quick work to jab the needle straight into my neck, injecting the purple liquid as I clenched my teeth and felt Bain slipping back into that void of darkness.

“Be warned, Master Ozzy has requested we take that other eye of yours if you so much as put up a fight, so it might be wise to behave.” One of the guards spat, making me clench my jaw as I knew he wasn’t bluffing..considering he himself was missing a few fingers..I’m guessing that’s how things worked around here.

I just stood there waiting, keeping my eyes trained on the door as I felt the shackles coming loose on my arms and legs. As soon as I was free, it took everything in me to not drop to the floor, my limbs feeling like jello as I tried to get the circulation flowing once again.

“Put this on.” The other a*****e barked, tossing some clothes at me as I rubbed my raw wrists carefully. I can’t lie, I was trying my hardest to not flip out because I needed to figure out where the hell we were. I knew if I attacked these guys I would end up locked up again and this was the only way I could assess the situation. I didn’t even know how many people were here or if we were in Howling Cave to begin with.

I slowly stripped off my b***d-stained pants and underwear, not giving a s**t about who saw me as I slipped on the grey slacks and white dress shirt. Why he wanted me to dress up I will never f*****g know, but this guy was psycho so I’m sure he had his own insane reasoning.

After getting dressed, the two guards gripped my arms and began dragging me towards the door.

I didn’t say a f*****g word..I knew for a fact no one here would help me, so there was no point in making a fool of myself. I had my suspicions that these people feared Ozzy more than anyone and fear keeps you in line..especially with psychopaths like these.

As soon as the door opened, the light from the hallway made me shut my eye and turn my head briefly. I had been stuck in the darkness for who knows how long, so seeing this light now, was almost shocking.

“This way.” The guard lacking fingers grumbled roughly while tugging me down a long stone hallway.

This looked like some type of medieval f*****g castle or some s**t. There were actual lit torches on the walls and a long red carpet running along the stone floor. There were old paintings that matched the castle theme perfectly and I suddenly realized every damn person in this place had a silver collar on just like me. Even these guards and any others that I passed. So that’s how Ozzy was controlling everyone..he was using the silver to suppress their wolves.

“Through here.” The man added, turning me towards a large dining room that had a massive table in the middle of it.

Of course, there was Ozzy at the head in his three-piece suit and smug-a*s attitude. He had multiple women hanging around him as each one began to rub or caress a part of his body. They wore robes that were sheer, revealing everything beneath it and leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination

What type of alternate f*****g universe did I just walk into..

“Welcome to my palace Alpha Rowan. All that’s missing now is my Queen.” He smirked wickedly, making my stomach drop as I was shoved into the chair opposite of his on the other end of the table.

“Ladies, let’s not be rude, our guest must be feeling so lonely. I know he might look scary, but do not be afraid..I assure you that everything else on his body is still intact..for now.” His eyes gleamed with excitement as two of the girls began walking toward me.

“Don’t f*****g touch me.” I growled, that anger bubbling up as I kept my gaze on Ozzy. I could hear the girls yelp as they froze in place, unsure of what to do as they looked between me and Ozzy.

“Well, look who finally decided to make an appearance.” He said excitedly before letting out a booming laugh that made all the women jump in fear.

“Come now Rowan, I know for a fact Amelia was not your first..so why so shy?” He raised his eyebrow curiously before reaching for his wine glass and taking a long sip.

“f**k you.” I gritted through my teeth..already losing my patience. Suddenly Ozzy slammed his glass down, shattering it completely as he reached out, gripping one of the girls by the neck.

“Are my women not good enough for you? Do they not meet your standards? Is that it?” He shouted, his eyes growing feral as he kept his gaze on me while pulling the woman closer to him.

“You wanna know my secret? This can work for you too..I just close my eyes when I f**k their sluty little mouths and picture Amelia..it works every time.” He laughed maniacally, squeezing the woman’s throat tighter as she struggled to breathe, causing her to claw at Ozzy’s arms.

His words made me stand up and knock the chair behind me onto the floor. This guy was f*****g insane..I could see the fear in this woman’s eyes, the way she silently pleaded for help.

“Enough!” I shouted, making Ozzy subconsciously loosen his grip.

Before realizing his mistake, the woman was able to wriggle out of his grasp and drop to the floor.

“You don’t make the commands around here..I do! So sit your a*s down now!” He yelled, his eyes wide with rage as I glanced to the floor and watched the poor girl scamper away.

“And here I was being f*****g nice to you..bringing you to my table and offering you my women..” He growled to himself, his hands reaching up and brushing back his dark hair as he sighed heavily.

“I guess there is no f*****g point with you..that’s the issue here..there is no hope for you. You just won’t let her go..so I have made my decision.” He began, making me clench my fits under the table, my nails digging into my flesh and causing b***d to pool in my palms.

“When I get Amelia..you will have to die..you will never accept the rejection, so I will have to subdue her before I do it. I mean..did I want my Luna and I to go to war so soon? No…but don’t you worry, I will take really good care of her. After all, she will be carrying my pup soon enough.” He smiled wickedly and before I could grip the knife on the table and lunge for his f*****g throat I was thrown to the ground. I swiped my arm, slashing and stabbing whatever I could before a hard punch landed on my jaw, causing my head to spin.

“You will never have her! Never!!” I yelled, my hands being tied behind my back as I was lift onto my feet.

“Let’s see about that.” Ozzy grinned from ear to ear as he pulled out a phone. Before I could say another word I was injected with something else..something that made my body tingle and lose control.

The only thing I could do was listen..and what I heard made my b***d run cold.

“This is Vincent Scott.” The voice of my father filled the air, making me thrash as I tried to speak..the only sound that came out was mumbles and g****s.

“Hello Vincent, so..do we have a deal? Your son for my Amelia.” His words made my f*****g heart stop as the air filled with thick silence…no, no way in hell would he agree to that.

“Yes..it’s a deal.” My dad answered…no…not my dad..my dad wouldn’t agree to that. He would never sacrifice Mila for me..how could he..how f*****g could he!!

“Great, I will give you the location where to meet. I have to give you credit Mr. Scott..you are a lot smarter than your son..too bad he didn’t inherit any of that wisdom.” and with that he hung up.

I looked around the room wildly, my head rolling back and forth as I tried to fight whatever sedative I was given. Panic and fear taking hold as my father’s voice echoed through me. It can’t be true..it can’t.

The last thing I saw before the darkness took me over once more, was the smiling face of Ozzy as three words that f*****g broke me fell from his mouth..

“She is mine.”
