My Fated Human Luna Chapter 52

52 Could I

Jeremiah POV

I shift grabbing basketball shorts from behind the tree before I head back toward the pack house. As I walk through the trees, I see River and Fern talking to the pack members. “Please think about what you’re going to do before you say anymore to River.” Ottis pleads with me. I push him to the back of my mind. I really am torn by this whole situation. River is like a brother to me and the only family I have left. How can I just forget the things he told me that Fern had done to him? Knowing how much pain my rejection caused me, I can’t imagine living with it for all the years River has. I approach River “can I speak with you in your office alone.” Before he can answer, I turn toward Fern “I mean no disrespect, I just want a moment of his time to speak privately.” Fern nods at me and I turn to River. He walks over and kisses Fern before he leads me inside. When we reach his office, I close the door behind me and take a seat in front of his desk like I’ve done a thousand times. Although this time is completely different than all those others, because I feel like we are on opposite sides. He crosses his hands on the desk in front of himself and waits for me to speak.

“River, I don’t know how to move forward from here.” “I’m so angry with Belinda and Fern for what they have done.” “I hate they cast us aside so easily despite the bond.” “I realize she is giving you a chance now but it doesn’t change what she did to you all those years ago.” “I don’t think I can forgive her and I realize that is a problem.” “Having said that I’m not willing to lose you as my brother over my anger for her.” He smiles and sits back in his seat. “Now is it my turn to talk Jeremiah?” “Yes, of course” I say. “I have some details that may change how you feel about Fern, goddess knows it did for me.” “Fern never knew I was her mate.” “Thomas and his father never spoke to her about me.” I growl and grip the chair, “it can’t be true what about your scent.” “Calm down Jeremiah let me finish.” “She didn’t believe her wolf about the scent being her mates because Liza didn’t want to follow her father’s orders to take

Thomas as a mate.” “Fern would have accepted me had she known I was her mate even against her father and the Alpha’s wishes.” “How could they be so evil and give her no choice?” “Thomas is a very evil man and I plan on being the one that ends his existence for all he has done to us.” “All of this is so hard to believe, are you sure this is the truth River?” “I have never been surer of anything in my life.”

“I told you to speak to him” Ottis says. “You were right one time, don’t get all uppity now.” He snickers at me and I laugh. I look back at River and my moment of happiness is gone when I remember he is probably joining Fern’s pack. I will never go near that pack or Belinda, it is all too painful. I may see him but it’s not the same as being in the pack together. “I assume that you will be joining Fern’s pack as opposed to her joining us.” “We will be joining the Scarlett Howl pack.” “That can’t happen River as much as I would like to go with you.” He smiles again like he has a secret. “What are you smiling about?” “I promise you that seeing Belinda will no longer be an issue.” I look at him with confusion. “I know you are hurt by what she did but honestly Jeremiah she was an evil woman.” I wait for him to finish. “The Alpha you saw her sleeping with was Thomas which was enough reason for Fern to kill her but it’s not the reason she did.” “Belinda is dead?” “Yes, she is.”

I don’t know how to feel about that. “She attempted to take Archer’s mate to Thomas to hurt Archer and get the pack.” “When Fern found out she snapped Belinda’s neck.” “She really was an evil creature and by the sounds of what happened she got what she deserved.” “I know the goddess makes no mistakes but I don’t understand why she was chosen for me.” “I have always tried to be a good person despite being born a rogue.” “You are a good person and your rank in life doesn’t define you.” “I believe the goddess did all of this for a reason” River says. “So, I’ll say again, we are joining the Scarlett Howl pack.” “I guess I have no reason not to but I need to speak to Fern.” “She is on her way” River says.

Fern POV

River links me to come to his office. I walk in and Jeremiah stands and comes over to me. “I’m sorry Fern.” He may not be as young as Archer but he reminds me of my son. “You have nothing to be sorry for, we were all lied to.” “I can promise you this I will never hurt River, he is my mate.” “I know that now

and I’m sorry I didn’t listen sooner.” “I know that River told you what happened to Belinda.” “I’m sorry for the way she treated you but honestly Jeremiah she wasn’t worthy of you.” “She cared nothing for others and tried to hurt them to fit her selfish needs.” I can see the pain in his expression. I pull him into a hug. At first, he hesitates, standing with his arms at his side. I’m sure worried that River won’t like it, but eventually, he gives in hugging me back. When he pulls back, he smiles at me. We all have a seat, we catch Jeremiah up to speed on who will be staying and who will be joining the Scarlett Howl Pack.

After an hour, we have decided that Jeremiah will stay at the pack tonight to get Matthew up to speed on River’s books and the finances for the pack before he joins our pack tomorrow before the ceremony. Matthew is taking over as head of the rogue pack. About fifty of the rogues will be remaining and the other seventy will be joining our pack today. Most of the wolves joining the pack are mated with pups. A pack our size can offer them security to raise their pups. I link Archer to let him know that we will need lodging for seventy new pack members. I also tell them about how many are mated with pups, so private cottages can be set up. I’m hoping we can have accommodations ready for when we get back to the pack today. Archer will do the ceremony to bring them into the pack at one time. We have about two hours before the pack members are ready, so River and I decide to take this time for our wolves to meet. “We will be back in a couple hours, Jeremiah, to take the wolves to the new pack” River says. Once we are outside, we shift and take off. I have never seen Liza so happy and I say a prayer of thanks to the goddess for finding River and Jasper as we run.

Archer POV

After Sabrina found her dress which she would not let me see, it made me think about the human tradition of marriage. I know as wolves we don’t usually marry because marking is more significant, but Sabrina and Tracey are not wolves. I love that Tabitha was able to help our mates mark us, but I want to give her something too. “Sabrina, I need to head to my office for a couple hours to meet with Levi about pack business and make sure everything is ready for tomorrow’s ceremony.” “No problem, I’ll

have Tracey come up and hang out with me and Gabby for a couple hours.” “Sounds good” I say and lean down to kiss her before I head to my office.

A few minutes later, Levi walks in looking like the cat that swallowed the canary. “I swear if you ruin this surprise with your big mouth, I’m going to kill you.” “I didn’t say a word, I want Tracey to be surprised too.” A few minutes later a guard leads Maureen in to my office. She is an older woman who works for a jewelry store that is owned by one of our kind. She puts the box filled with rings on the desk. We begin to look through and as soon as my eyes fall on one of the rings, I know it’s perfect for Sabrina. I take it out, holding it in my hand. The ring is a princess cut pink diamond surrounded by white diamonds on a platinum band. It has a matching wedding band. A few seconds later, Levi holds up one that is an oval-shaped traditional white diamond with a simple band. “Both very nice selections, gentlemen” Maureen says. “I have men’s bands too.” “Will you be needing those also.” I look at Levi “I want that woman to mark me in every way possible so it’s a yes for me.” I laugh “I want one too.” After we have picked our bands Maureen leaves.

The Next Day

Sabrina POV NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

When I wake up, Archer isn’t there, which I hate. I love waking up to him next to me. I pick up a note off the pillow that is next to me.

Sabrina,

This will be the last time you ever wake up alone, love. I plan on spending the rest of our lives waking up and going to sleep together. I thank the goddess every day for bringing you to me. I have been blessed with the best mate and daughter any man could ever have. You are a gift which I plan to treasure for the rest of my life. I can’t wait to see you in your beautiful dress and officially make you my Luna today.

Love Archer

I don’t know what I did to deserve this man, but I will spend the rest of my life loving him. I hear a knock on the door and I know it has to be our family because no one else is allowed on our floor. I throw my robe on and open the door to a smiling Tracey. “Are you ready to make it official?” I laugh “you do realize this isn’t a wedding, right.” “Hey, for some of us this is as close as it gets.” “Besides, I wouldn’t trade being with Levi for some wedding ceremony anyway.” I know she says that but all little girls dream of their wedding day. I noticed the dress she picked was a white satin and lace A-line dress that reminded me of a wedding dress. I wanted nothing to do with a white dress again. I picked a similar style to Tracey’s but it is royal blue with silver accents. I wish I had thought about talking to Levi about doing a wedding ceremony for her. “Are you ready to get all dolled up Tracey?” We start to do our hair and a few minutes later, Fern and Willow show up to get dressed with us.

Fern walks over to me first. She puts her hands on both sides of my face “my son is so lucky to have a mate like you.” “You are strong, beautiful, and loving.” “Never doubt your ability to lead this pack by his side because today you are the Luna.” I can feel the tear rolling down my cheek and she pulls me into a hug. Fern is the mother I should have had and I try hard not to think of Lilth today. She lets me go and walks over to Tracey. “You were always Levi’s mate, not his second chance.” “This pack is lucky to have you as it’s Beta Female.” “You are not just Levi’s mate, you are my daughter too.” She hugs Tracey and I’m glad we haven’t done our make-up yet today because it would be ruined.

We finish getting ready and I look at us in the mirror. I love our dresses and the way they fit us. I take a deep breath and the door opens to my beautiful little girl in her purple dress. “Mama and Aunt Tracey you look pretty.” “You look pretty little one.” I look up and Lindsay is standing in the doorway. “Thank you for helping her get ready.” I walk over to the closet and pull out a light blue dress. I walk over and hand it to Lindsay. “I picked this out for you to wear today if you would like.” I can see the tears in her eyes and she wraps me in a hug. “No tears go get dressed and we will see you downstairs.” We all

finish up and head down the hallway that leads to the stairs. I see my father waiting at the bottom in a suit. Before I can ask Fern why I hear a growl and someone say “MATE.”
