My Fated Human Luna Chapter 46

46 Betrayed

River POV

“I still don’t understand why you went to talk to that a**hat or why you warned Harris about Thomas.” “You don’t owe them anything.” “Jeremiah, I needed to look him in the eyes after he came to me for help and tell him to f**k off.” “The fact that he thought I would help him makes me laugh.” “He hasn’t changed, he is still the same selfish pr*ck he always was.” “As far as Harris goes, he has always done right by me.” “I may be a rogue but I still have some honor.” “Besides if Archer knew enough to toss his father out on his a** he can’t be anything like him.” “I have nothing against Archer or Willow Lyons.” “What about Fern Lyons?” I tighten my fists at his question. He is the only one in the pack that knows how I came to be a rogue.

“I hate to say that I agree with that piece of sh*t but why wouldn’t you want to get back at the woman that rejected you all those years ago.” Jasper growls in my head. “Tell him to sh*t the f**k up about her.” “You are never to bring her up to me Jeremiah, do you understand me?” “I didn’t mean to piss you off River, I just hate that she hurt you.” “It’s alright just let me get back to work.” As soon as he leaves Jasper starts again. “Maybe now that she isn’t with Thomas, we can have our mate.” “Jasper, you can’t be seriously suggesting we go to her.” “The woman rejected us twenty-five-years ago and you want to beg her to accept us now that she decided she doesn’t want Thomas anymore.” “You never even spoke to her and yet you trusted that they told you the truth.” “Do you really believe that Thomas and his father were honest about that when they were both snakes.” “Enough, Jasper, I am a rogue and she is a Luna.” “Our time has passed, we need to focus on protecting our pack.” He recedes in my mind and I hate hurting him but he needs to face the fact that we are never going to have our mate.

I’m sitting at my desk trying to focus on the work in front of me. I try my best to keep the pack honest even though we are rogues. I try to be the leader I would have wanted my own Alpha to be. A knock sounds on the door and Jeremiah comes back in. “River, we have guests.” “Who” I say irritated, thinking it might be Thomas again. This time he won’t leave my land alive. “It’s Lawrence and his lackey Barry.” I roll my eyes. “What the f**k does that a**hole want?” “Show him to my office and stay close in case he gets any ideas.” A few minutes later, they come in and have a seat in front of my desk. “What do you want Lawrence?” “Right to business, I can appreciate that.” “I just need to know if you’re going to be a problem if I take the pack wolf up on his offer tomorrow.” “All the sudden you answer to me” I laugh. “No, I don’t but it’s easier to kill you and your men before you interfere in my business if you plan on it.” “If you plan on staying out of it then we have no problem.” “I believe your stooge told you I wouldn’t help Thomas but never did I say anything about helping the pack.” “Good then we have no problem.” “Absolutely none, now if that’s it get your a** off my land.” He stands and nods before Jeremiah shows them both out.

“What are you going to do?” “Jasper, I did all I’m going to do.” “I warned Harris about what Thomas is planning.” “So, you’re ok if our mate gets hurt or killed.” “That ba**ard Lawrence will not have any mercy on women and children and you know it.” I block Jasper because I can’t keep having this discussion with him. Once we learned that she had broken her bond with Thomas, he has been driving me nuts to go see her. I understand he wants his mate because, if I’m honest I want her too, but I had to let her go when I was a boy. I can’t bring myself to want her as a man and suffer the same fate. I won’t survive it again. I can’t put my men at risk to save a pack that didn’t even want me. Jasper pushes to the surface again, “it wasn’t the pack, it was Thomas and his father that cast you out.” “You are not the man I thought you were if you can let women and children die if we could help prevent it.” Jasper, recedes in my mind and I know he’s right but I don’t know if I can bring myself to help them.

Flashback

“Thomas, are you really sure you want to take a chosen mate?” “What about your fated mate?” “River, I could care less about the whole mate thing.” “My father says this girl will make a good Luna and honestly I have no intentions of being faithful to her a** anyway.” I can’t believe what I’m hearing. “Why even bother taking a mate then?” He rolls his eyes at me as if I just asked the stupidest question he ever heard. “As my future Beta you need to understand that there are certain things that have to be.” “Alpha’s have to have Luna’s so the pack is whole.” “My father insists that Fern is the best choice for my Luna.” “Not only does she have the pedigree but she will listen to me without question.” We head toward the Alpha’s office and the smell of cinnamon and apples invades my nose. I can feel Jasper at the surface, “mate, our mate is near.” Thomas must notice my eyes change color and realizes that Fern is my mate.

He stands in front of me so I can’t go inside. “Get out of my way Thomas, she is my mate, unlike you, that means something to me.” “Let me handle this River, I need to break it to my father that I will not be mating with Fern.” “I will bring her to you, just go downstairs and wait for me.” “Don’t you leave our mate with these men” Jasper says in my head. “I have to listen to him he is our future Alpha and friend Jasper.” “We need to trust him, he wouldn’t betray us.” I head downstairs to wait. A few minutes later, the Alpha and Thomas come downstairs. I stand up and the Alpha comes to stand in front of me. “River, Thomas tells me that you are Fern’s fated mate.” “Yes Alpha, I am.” “That’s unfortunate she doesn’t want you and with Thomas taking her as a mate you will not be able to remain in the pack.” “What” I say with shock in my voice. “I, Alpha Fredrick Lyons, banish you River Martin Brady from the Scarlett Howl pack.” “From this day forward, you will be a rogue.” “If you return to this territory, you will be killed on sight.” I’m grabbed by two warriors and dragged from the pack house. I look up as they drag me out to a smiling Thomas. Jasper wants to shift but I know I’ll never make it out of the territory alive with the warriors at the Alpha’s disposal. “Jasper, she made her choice.” “She and Thomas deserve each other.”

Flashback End

Archer POV

After we finish talking about Harris’s phone call, everyone leaves but my mother. She seemed shocked when Harris told us the wolf’s name was River Brady. She looks deep in thought and I clear my throat. “Mom, do you remember the wolf that called Harris?” “I remember hearing about him.” “What does that mean?” “The day I came to the pack on my father’s orders to meet with your grandfather and your father I heard them talking about him.” “I was in the office with your grandfather when I heard a commotion in the hallway.” “I went to stand and I was ordered to sit.” “Your grandfather left and when he came back your father was with him.” “When I asked if everything was ok they told me that Thomas’s future Beta, River, had to be banished for crimes against the pack.” “I tried to ask what he had done but they told me that a Luna didn’t need to know such things.” I roll my eyes at my father and grandfathers bulls*t.

“After all we have learned about dad, I wonder what the hell really happened.” “I’m horrified to think what would have made them do that to a wolf that was supposed to take a ranked position.” “I’m glad he at least let Harris know what dad is up to.” “I knew he would do whatever it took to attack us.” “We need to be prepared for him because I have no intention of losing warriors to those pathetic rogues.” My mother stands coming around the desk to hug us before she leaves the office. I sit back behind my desk and Sabrina comes over to sit in my lap. I bury my nose in her neck and breathe in her scent.

Sabrina POV

My heart breaks to hear all of the lives that Thomas has ruined. How can one man be so selfish and evil? It sounds like he learned it from his father, which makes it even worse. After everyone leaves, I sit on Archer’s lap knowing he needs me close. He pulls back after he buries his head in my neck and places a soft kiss on my lips. “Are you ready for tomorrow love?” With everything that has been happening, I almost forgot that tomorrow is the divorce proceedings. “I had Misty let Megan know what time to report to the court.” “I just hope this is the last time we have to deal with Greg.” “I have a feeling

after he loses in court, he will become even more desperate.” “I pray to the goddess I’m wrong but desperate men do desperate things.” “I promise you that I will protect you and Gabby no matter what he tries.” “I know you will always protect us.” I lay my head against Archer’s chest and we stay that way for a few minutes. “Are you ready to go get our little one?” I sit up and smile kissing him once more before I hop off his lap. We head to get Gabby from Lindsay and spend the rest of the day together. I just can’t wait for tomorrow to be over.

Greg POV

I have been calling Lilth’s phone since they let me out two days ago. I went by the house five times and she hasn’t been home. What the hell is going on? That bi**ch Melissa slammed the door in my face when I tried to get her to help me with the divorce proceedings. My father really screwed me over. I had to hire a local attorney. I don’t even know if he knows his a** from his elbow. I had to turn my badge and my gun yesterday to that smug ba**ard Chris. Joe acted like he didn’t even know me after being my partner for all these years. All these people betrayed me when I needed them most and I won’t forget. I’m sitting on the couch in this empty house having a beer and I still can’t believe how screwed up my life has become. They had better hope that tomorrow goes the way it should or everyone in that courtroom is going to be very sorry.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
