My Fated Human Luna
Chapter 43

Sabrina

POV

After we get Gabby ready for bed and Archer reads her a story, we head to our room. I shower first before slipping on sleep shorts and Archer's t-shirt. I love sleeping in his shirts. When I come out, Archer heads into the bathroom and I climb onto our bed. I feel like there is something wrong with me right now. I should feel guilt and sorrow that my mother is probably dead, but I can't feel anything.

How could she say I wasn't her daughter, even faced with death? What kind of mother doesn't at least try to repent? I feel the bed dip and I realize I never even noticed Archer come out of the bathroom.

He pulls me onto his lap so I'm straddling him and he is looking in my eyes. "Tell me what you're thinking about Sabrina." I don't even want to say it aloud, so he thinks I'm cold and unfeeling. He places his hand on my face. "Sabrina, you can tell me what you're thinking about."

"Please don't think bad of me, but I don't feel anything about my mother after all she has done to me." He smiles "love first of all, you're probably in shock, and secondly, I could never think badly of you."

"I am going to have to end my own father which I will do without hesitation to protect my family and my pack." "Will you think badly of me for doing what has to be done for the safety of everyone I love." "Of course not, he won't stop trying to hurt you and our family." "Just because your mother isn't a wolf doesn't mean she wasn't trying to hurt you or the ones you love."

"If there was any way to save her life and not put everyone at risk, would you have saved her?" This man is amazing and I'm so lucky he is mine. "Yes, without a doubt." "You are anything but unfeeling and unkind." He leans in and kisses my lips before we lay down next to each other. He pulls me into his side and I lay my head on his chest listening to the steady beat of his heart.

I wake up but I'm not in our room anymore and I start to panic. I look around and nothing is familiar. I stand and start to walk on the path before me that I have never seen before. I come to an open field that looks like it should be on a postcard. Beautiful flowers as far as I can see. This must be a dream. I feel at peace. I lay down in the field letting the sun shine down on my skin warming my body. "Are you enjoying my home, Sabrina?" My eyes snap open and I jump to my feet.

A woman is standing about ten feet from me. She is older than me and beautiful. Her long red hair is a perfect contrast to her alabaster skin. "How do you know my name?" She smiles "despite that you did not start as one of my children, Sabrina, I have essentially adopted you as mine." I must look confused and she laughs. "Come sit with me and I will explain what I mean."

I'm not afraid and I follow her as she sits in a chair that looks like it's made from plants and vines. A bench sits across from it and she invites me to take a seat. "This is an amazing dream, it feels so real and everything is beautiful." "Sabrina, this is not a dream." "I chose to speak to my children while they sleep." "My name is Selene but you will have heard me referred to as the Moon Goddess." I'm sure the shock is written all over my face. "I have so many questions for you?"

"I'm sure you do my child but honestly I brought you here to tell you a few things." I guess that's her way of nicely saying she'll only tell me what she wants me to know. "Now first as I said my children are typically supernatural but sometimes special humans such as yourself become part of our family." "Why me" I start to ask but she raises her hand to quiet me. "You are special in many ways even though you may not be able to see it."

"Despite the injustices done to you by people who you should have been able to trust you did not close yourself off to love." "I watched all you went through and saw your strength." "That is why I chose you for Archer." I smile "thank you for that, he really is a wonderful man."

"You both deserve happiness." "I also brought you to this pack to show Archer his father's true self." "Thomas is corrupt and has become evil." "Despite all I do for my children, some of them are never happy and make bad choices." "Does that mean Fern will get a chance for a better mate?" She smiles "the last thing that I wanted to talk to you about is completing your bond."

"I guess that means your not going to tell me about Fern." "You guess correctly." she says and winks at me. "I know your scared of completing the bond with Archer." "No, I'm not I just want the divorce to be final." "Sabrina you can't lie to me like your lying to yourself." I stay quiet. "Despite letting Archer mark you, you are afraid he is still going to want a she-wolf instead of you."

I can feel my eyes fill with unshed tears. "Archer is not Greg and I promise you that he will never want any woman but you." "What if" she again stops me with her hand. "There is no what if when it comes to Archer's love and devotion to you." "You need to complete the bond not only because your heart is safe with him but you will both be at your strongest for the battle ahead when you are bonded." She reaches up and wipes away the tear that rolls down my cheek.

"Trust your mate I promise that you will never regret it Sabrina." She opens her arms and I walk in for her to wrap them around me. I close my eyes, replaceing a mother's comfort in her embrace. When I open my eyes again, I'm lying in Archer's arms. I say a silent prayer of thanks to the Moon Goddess before I close my eyes and drift into a peaceful sleep. Archer POV

When I wake up in the morning, Sabrina is still asleep. I lean over and kiss her forehead before I throw on sweats and a t-shirt. I plan on spending time with my girls this morning after everything that happened yesterday. Later I want to meet with our family about finishing this bulls*t with my father.

I'm done waiting for his plans to attack us. I want to talk to Tracey, Harris, and Tabitha about becoming members of the pack. I peek my head into Gabby's room and she is still asleep too. I head to the kitchen and start to cook breakfast. As I stand at the stove, I feel two arms wrap around my waist as she lays her head against my back. "Good morning, love." "Good morning" she says and just holds me.

I hope she isn't thinking about yesterday. Once she lets go, I turn around and I only see peace on her face. She is wearing a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt that fits her perfectly. "Can I help?" "Do you want to grab some fruit and cut it up?" "Absolutely" she says heading to the refrigerator.

Once we finish making breakfast, she heads to Gabby's room to grab her. She runs in the dining room and I bend down to hug her good morning. "Are you hungry little one?" "Yes daddy, I'm starving." I laugh and put her in the booster seat. "What should we do today girls?" Sabrina looks at me confused. "I assumed you would have work to do."

"Nope I figured we could spend the morning together." She smiles "that would be awesome." "What do you want to do little one?" "Can we go to the game room?" "Absolutely we can and after lunch you can hang out with Lindsay for a little while." We finish breakfast and Sabrina takes Gabby to get her dressed for the day while I clean up the kitchen. A few minutes later Sabrina comes back in the kitchen alone. "What are we doing later?" "I want to meet with everyone about making a plan to end this with my father." "I also want to invite Harris, Harold, and Tabitha to become official members of the pack." She smiles and walks over wrapping her arms around me. "Thank you for being the best man I could ever wish for." I lift her so she can wrap her legs around my waist. I kiss her until we are both breathless. We both hear a giggle and I put her down. She turns and Gabby is standing in the doorway with a big smile on her face.

"Mama, you and daddy were kissing." "Yes we were little one, that's what people do when they love each other." She nods and runs back out of the kitchen. We both turn to each other and laugh. I peck her lips and we head to grab Gabby to go to the game room. Sabrina POV

We had so much fun playing games and having pizza for lunch. Gabby was so tired she even took a nap. "Thank you for keeping her Lindsay." "You never have to thank me Luna, I love spending time with her." "I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday." "Lindsay, don't you dare apologize." "I'm glad that Archer went for her or Veronica may have gotten her out of the pack."

"You are wonderful with her and I trust you." She smiles "thank you Luna." I meet Archer downstairs and we head to a conference room where everyone is waiting. I smile when I see everyone together. We may not all be related by blood, but this is my family.
