My Fated Human Luna Chapter 153
6 Her Honor
Archer POV
I know why my father’s angry but he has to understand I’m not a child anymore. He doesn’t need to
protect me from the evil of the world. I am a warrior. I debate whether to tell him about my mate but I
won’t keep secrets from him. “Dad, I’m fine. We scented the vampires and I alerted the other warriors
to join us. Wesley and I were handling the situation until the others arrived. I do need to speak to you in
private about something.” “He orders the remaining warriors to stay near the border and increase
patrols. We reach the pack house and Lazlo is pacing in my mind. “We have to find her Archer.” “Calm
down, we will but right now we need to figure out why she and the others were attacking the pack.” He
quiets and once we are in the office my father turns to me. “How many vampires were involved in the
attack?” “There were three who attacked but seven in total.” “There was eight counting the hot vampire
chick,” Wesley says. I growl and I’m sure my eyes darken when he speaks about my mate. If this was
any other man I would have him against a wall for speaking about my mate like that. When I look back
at my father he has a smirk on his face.
“Is this what you wanted to talk in private about?” “Yes, the female vampire is my mate.” He comes to
stand in front of me and wraps me in a hug. “We will figure it out, Archer. We will go to the coven and
see if Porter has any idea what coven these vampires came from.” “Thank you dad.” “I’m sorry Archer. I
didn’t mean to disrespect your mate” Wesley says. I chuckle “I know you didn’t and she is hot.” We
leave my father’s office and resume our patrol but I can’t get that beautiful woman out of my head. I just
pray that she is more interested in mating and marking than killing me and my pack members.
The Next Day
Gwen POV
I can’t wait to wake up in some place other than this hospital. “Rise and shine Ms. Colwell. I have your
breakfast for you” Bianca my nurse says. “You’re in a good mood today. I guess that blind date went
pretty well.” “You could say that” she says with a chuckle. She helps me sit up and puts my tray in front
of me. “I’m going to miss you when you leave Gwen.” “I’m going to miss you girls too. I’ll have to come
back to visit once my treatments are all done.” She smiles before she leaves the room. I pick up the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtremote and turn on the TV. I can hear a familiar voice coming from the hallway. A few minutes later, my
door opens and I’m shocked to see Delilah, especially when I realize she is alone. She and I have
never been close and I can’t see her coming to visit me unless Maverick brought her. “Delilah is
everything alright.” I can see tears in her eyes. A pit forms in my stomach. “Delilah, is Maverick alright?”
She starts to nod and sob at the same time.
“Gwen, Maverick is angry with me and I need your help to make him understand how sorry I am. I
didn’t cheat, I swear to you.” “Delilah, what the hell happened?” “I went out with the girls and I had too
much to drink” she says as she sobs. “I was dancing with some random guy. It was only dancing I
swear to you. Maverick walked up to me and he wouldn’t even let me explain. I would never do
anything to hurt Maverick. You know that Gwen. I love him.” I let her finish before I finally interject. “I’m
confused about what you want me to do about this situation Delilah?” “I need you to speak with him.
Maverick and I are engaged. I didn’t cheat and I deserve a chance to make things right.” “I understand
that you’re sorry for whatever happened, Delilah, but I can’t make Maverick forgive you. This is
between the two of you.” “I just need you to talk to him, please.” “Delilah, what the hell are you doing
here?” I turn to Maverick’s voice.
Maverick POV
I arrive at the hospital before I head to the office. It was nice of Ruby to offer to have the holistic healer
see my mother, but I need to speak to her first. When I arrive outside my mother’s room and I can hear
two voices. When I realize who the second voice is I can’t believe she would come here knowing that
my mother is sick and bother her about our issues. “Maverick, I just thought” I cut her off. “You thought
that if you pleaded with my mother who is in the hospital I would forget what you did. This is completely
inappropriate and I want you to leave.” She stands and walks toward me. I step back. “Delilah, I think I
made myself clear the last time we spoke.” “Maverick, we’re engaged. We’re supposed to be getting
married in a few months. This was all a mistake.” “Delilah, this is neither the time nor the place to
continue this conversation. I am here to visit my mother, so please leave.”
She rushes from the room and I take a deep breath. “Do you want to tell me what the hell that was all
about?” I chuckle “I wasn’t keeping it from you mom. I just want you to focus on getting better.”
“Maverick James Colwell, you do not keep things from me. I don’t care what your reason is. Do I make
myself clear?” I smile “yes mom, I promise I won’t keep any more secrets.” “Good, now sit down and
tell me what happened.” I take a seat on the bottom of her bed. I tell her exactly what happened. I see
sympathy in her eyes and I know what she is thinking about. “Are you sure that this is what you want to
do? I know you love Delilah.” I take a deep breath. “I don’t want you making this decision because of
what your father did.” I smile “mom, I’m making this decision because I need trust and what she did
destroyed that. I cannot wonder about what she has done or what she will do in the future.” “I’m proud
of the man that you have become.” “Thank you, mom.”
“Now to what do I owe this unplanned visit,” my mother asks. I almost forgot the reason I came after
dealing with Delilah. “I was wondering if it would be alright for me to bring a holistic healer to see you.”
She chuckles “when did you meet a holistic healer?” “I know a lot of people, mom.” She c*cks her head
and grins at me. “Fine, Ruby actually offered to bring her if it’s alright.” She smiles like she knows a
secret. “She is my boss mom nothing more.” “Alright I believe you. I would love to meet this holistic
healer and your boss in person.” “Am I going to regret this mom?” She slaps my leg. “Give your mother
a hug and get to work. I hug her and head out of the hospital. I drive the thirty minutes to the office.
When I arrive I only have half an hour before the meeting with Mr. Brenard.
Ruby POV
I head out to the SUV and the girls are already waiting. I laugh when I see they are all wearing
business dresses. I don’t ever think I’ve seen Brooklyn in a dress. “Not a word Ruby.” I laugh and raise
my hands in surrender. We all hop in the SUV and head toward the office. I lead them up to my floor to
wait in my office until after the meeting. “Wow, this is a nice office, Ruby” Jade says. “Yes, I love my
office.” A knock sounds on the door and when it opens Jennifer pokes her head in. “Ms. Solace, Mr.
Bernard is here and waiting for you and the others in the conference room.” “Thank you, Jennifer. I’ll be
right in.” I gather my folders and head toward the conference room. I step inside and Mr. Bernard
stands to greet me. “Aren’t you pretty” he says as he shakes my hand longer than necessary. “I already
don’t like this a**hole”, Gemma says. “I agree but I can deal with the a**hole to make this deal for the
company.” I set the folders down on the table and offer him a seat.
“Now what kind of gentleman would I be if I didn’t pull your chair out.” He pulls the chair and when I sit
down he touches my shoulder. Someone clearing their throat gets my attention. I turn to see Maverick
and Connor. Maverick looks angry. I wonder what happened to upset him. I shake those thoughts away
and focus on the meeting. “Mr. Bernard, I’m glad we could meet today. Maverick and Connor have
gotten me up to speed on the deal that your real estate company has made for the six properties. I
believe that our company would be a great asset in helping you secure this deal.” “Now I understand
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat Stephen is your grandfather”, Mr. Bernard says. “Actually, he is my great grandfather but I’m
confused about what that has to do with the deal.” He chuckles “I understand that your grandfather,
wanted to keep the company in the family, but I don’t think a woman should be in charge. Maverick was
doing a fine job. Maybe you should just sit in your office and look pretty.” I’m just about to tell him
exactly what he can do with his deal when Maverick beats me to the punch.
“Mr. Bernard, I believe it’s time for you to leave.” “Excuse me” he says, not believing what he is hearing.
“I think you heard me just fine. Ruby Solace is more capable at this job than half the men I know and
the fact that you would insinuate otherwise because she is a woman is ludicrous. I’m sure that Ruby
would agree that we will not be doing business with a man like you.” He looks toward me. “I believe you
heard my VP. You can see yourself out of my building.” I stand leaving the conference room. As I walk
down the hall toward my office I don’t know what I feel more, anger or gratitude. Even though I could
have handled that a**hat myself, I didn’t feel like Maverick viewed me as weak. I open the door to my
office and the girls look toward me. “That meeting was fast”, Brooklyn says. I fill them in on everything
that just happened. “He handled that like a true Alpha” Jade says and I roll my eyes. “I’ll be back. I
need to go talk to him.”
I head toward his office and I can hear Connor and Maverick talking. “What the hell did I just do”
Maverick says. “I believe that you defended the honor of our new boss”, Connor says. I chuckle to
myself. “She doesn’t seem like the kind of woman who needs me to protect her, but I couldn’t sit there
and listen to that pr*ck talk to her that way” Maverick says and I smile. “Are you smiling about our
mate?” “Settle down Gemma it’s just a smile.” I knock on his office door and open it. Connor smiles
when he sees me. “Connor, can I speak to Maverick alone for a moment?” “Of course” he says and
leaves closing the door behind him. “I’m sorry Ruby. I know I shouldn’t have said those things. I
overstepped” I raise my hand to stop him from apologizing. “I came in here to thank you for what you
said. I appreciate you having my back. I meant what I said about the VP position. You have earned
that.” He smiles and goddess I could look at that face all day. I look away to stay focused.
“I brought my healer friend to meet you before we go to see your mom.” “Great, I spoke with her and
she is on board with meeting her and you in person.” “I’ll warn you before you come to my office that
my sister and other best friend are here too.” He chuckles “I’m glad to meet anyone that is important to
you.” His words make warmth bloom in my chest. I lead him to my office and I pray that the girls are on
their best behavior. I open the office door and the three of them are standing there with huge smiles on
their faces and I know they were listening to our conversation. Goddess help me with these three
women.
