My Fated Human Luna Chapter 176

29 Feelings Are Hard

Autumn POV

Ruby rushes over to me and wraps me in a hug. I know that won’t be the last attack, but they will never hurt my family. Summer whimpers and I know she is thinking about Connor. “Do you know how amazing you are”, Ruby asks, and I squeeze her tighter. She pulls back and her smile falls. “Let’s go, I have a few things to say to that duma**” she says, taking my hand. “Ruby, we need to deal with the dead vampires and the attack. They are getting bolder and they aren’t going to stop”, I say hoping she lets this go. She turns back to me, “the warriors will handle this and my father and uncles are on patrol. We will have a meeting tomorrow. I plan on reaching out to the Onyx moon to help us deal with the vampires.” “Ruby, I love you for wanting to protect my heart, but this is something I have to deal with on my own.” Her eyes soften and she pulls me into a hug. I don’t correct her because I’m not sure what is going to happen when I head back to the cottage. I am a wolf, witch, and warrior. That is never going to change and I wouldn’t want it to. If Connor can’t accept me for who I am, then maybe he isn’t the worthy mate the goddess thought he would be. Ruby and I walk back toward the cottage. She wraps me in a hug before she heads back to the pack house. I take a deep breath as I push open the door. Summer is pacing in my mind and I realize I can’t scent Connor.

I see my dad first. “Dad, where is Connor?” “He wanted to speak with Maverick. Your mother took him to the pack house after she returned from the dragon kingdom?” I freeze “what happened? Are Jade and Brooklyn alright?” “They are fine sweet girl,” I hear from behind me and turn to see my mother smiling at me. “They are both strong and their mates won’t let anything happen to them.” I smile, I’m grateful that Jade’s mate is finally accepting her. My mother steps toward me. “Go talk to your mate before you let your imagination run wild about what he is thinking. Communication is the most important thing in any relationship, whether you are a supernatural or a human.” “Did he say something

to you?” “What did I say young lady?” I roll my eyes before I wrap my mother in a hug. “Thank you, mom.” I pull back and she nods. I head over and kiss my father’s cheek before I teleport to the pack house. I start up the stairs and I can hear voices coming from the Alpha office. As I get closer, I realize it’s Ruby, Maverick, and Connor. I knock and the voices stop talking. The door opens and Ruby looks angry and sad. She pulls me into a hug and when she releases me, I move inside the office, but I don’t look at Connor.

“What’s wrong, Ruby” I ask keeping my eyes on her. She looks at Maverick and Connor crossing her arms over her chest. Before Ruby can say anything, Maverick stands up. “Ruby, I think we should leave and let them talk. This is a private conversation and we need to have a discussion of our own.” Maverick is sounding more and more like the Alpha I know he was meant to be. I can see Ruby wants to protest but she knows Maverick is right. Whatever is happening is between me and Connor. Ruby hugs me before she leaves. Maverick stops in front of me. “Just listen and try to understand where he is coming from before you make any decisions.” He kisses my cheek and closes the door behind him. Now that I’m utterly confused, I finally make eye contact with Connor. His face is unreadable and I’m not sure what to think. “Autumn, can we sit and talk please.” I nod and join him on the couch. “Ruby told me how amazing you were in the fight with the vampires and warlock. I can’t believe that vampires and warlocks exist.”

Connor POV

After Autumn said she had to go fight, my insecurities about being a human crept in. Instead of loving the fact that this strong special woman wants to be mine, I am wallowing in self-pity. I’m never going to be able to fight or protect her. I know she is strong and doesn’t need me to, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to be able to. I walk into the cottage and Jonathon is alone sitting on the couch. Oh sh*t, where the hell did her mother go? I can tell he doesn’t really like me. “Connor, come have a seat”, Jonathon says. I do what he asks, sitting across from him. “I’m sure you have a million thoughts in your head right now. I’m here if you want to talk.” I’m sure there is a look of shock on my face and heThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

chuckles. “Connor, you’re my baby girl’s mate. It is my job to give you a little bit of a hard time, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like you. I don’t know you yet.” I nod and I’m torn whether I should tell him what is bothering me. He is a wolf. He will never have to worry about defending and protecting his mate. “Connor, my mate is stronger than I will ever be.” I look into his eyes and he continues. “Tabby is probably the strongest witch alive. She has saved my a** on more than one occasion. It’s a hard pill to swallow. You have a decision to make. What is more important to you in this life, your idea of what a man should be or your happiness?”

Tabby appears in the living room and scares the hell out of me. She chuckles and takes a seat next to Jonathon. I wonder if Autumn is a witch since her mother is one. “How is everything in the dragon kingdom”, Jonathon asks Tabby. “Holy sh*t, there are dragons too.” They both laugh and I’m sure my cheeks redden. I meant to say that in my head. “Ruby’s sister Jade is actually fated mates with Luca, the King of Dragons. So, what have you two been talking about?” I look at Jonathon and he shakes his head. Before I can say anything, he does. “There was an attack and Autumn went to help deal with it.” Tabby stands “it’s alright love it is being handled. Lake assures me that everything is under control. Autumn and Ruby are dealing with the evil f**ks.” She sits back down. “Connor, I know you are worried about being enough, but I assure you that the goddess doesn’t make mistakes.” How the hell does she know what I’m thinking?” “It doesn’t take powers to know that you are worried about being human with a wolf mate. I can’t tell you how to feel, but what I can say is that a relationship is based on trust and communication. If something is bothering you, then you should talk to your mate. You should also talk to someone that is going through the same thing.”

I smile and stand. “How do I get to Maverick?” She laughs “I’ll take you to the pack house.” “Thank you, Tabby. Thank you, Jonathon, for the talk.” He nods and I’m shocked when Tabby takes my hand. “Just to warn you this might make you puke the first few times.” What the hell is she talking about is the last thought I have before I feel like I’m in a washing machine. My eyes are closed tight and when I open them, we are in a totally different place. I wretch but I’m grateful there is nothing in my stomach. After a

few minutes, I am able to stand. “The teleporting takes a little getting used to.” I will never have a boring life with these people. We start up the stairs and she knocks on the door. When she pushes it open, I realize it’s an office. Maverick is sitting on a couch. He looks worried and defeated. I’m glad I’m not the only one. “I’ll let you guys talk. Don’t leave the pack house until your mates come back. I want you both to be safe” she says. We both nod and she shuts the door.

Maverick POV

I’m glad to see Connor when he arrives with Tabby. He looks the same way I do. When Ruby got the link and told me there was an attack my heart sank. I know she is an Alpha wolf and strong, but I hate that I’m not with her. “Maverick, what do you think about what’s happening?” I look at him confused. “That’s a broad question. That we are mated to wolves, or do you mean the girls fighting vampires? I know that Ruby can handle herself. Are you worried that Autumn will get hurt because she is strong too?” I can tell by the look on his face that is not what he meant. “I mean that we aren’t strong enough to protect our women. I know it sounds like I think that women are weaker, but that’s not it. I just don’t want to be useless when it’s important. I want to be able to protect Autumn if something happens that she needs me.” I know exactly what he means. Everything in me wants to be alright with being an Alpha human amongst wolves, but I’m not. “Have you accepted Autumn, Connor?” “I asked her on a date.” I laugh “Connor, she is your mate. I felt the pull to Ruby despite being human. If you could never see Autumn again, would you be alright with that?” He is silent for a moment before he looks at me. “No, I wouldn’t be alright. I know I need her, but all of this is so much. I don’t want her to have a mate that isn’t worthy of her. A mate she has to protect and worry about all the time.”

Before I can say anything, the door opens and Ruby steps inside. She looks at Connor and I can feel anger through our bond. I stand up and wrap her in my arms. She buries her head in my neck, breathing in my scent. “I’m glad your back and safe. How did it go?” “Autumn was amazing, she killed the warlock. We killed the vampires before they could hurt any pack members.” She pulls back and presses her lips to mine. When she pulls back, she links me. “Is he going to reject Autumn?” She is

way off the mark, but this is not for us to be involved in. This is between Autumn and Connor. It’s time I was honest with Ruby. She looks at Connor. A knock on the door gets our attention and Ruby walks over. Autumn steps in after Ruby hugs her. I lead Ruby out of the office, leaving Autumn and Connor to talk. I know she isn’t happy about me telling her we needed to leave, but she knows I’m right. Once we are in our room, she heads into the shower. When she finishes, I take a quick shower before I come back into the bedroom. She is sitting on the chair waiting for me. I see a mix of pain and anger in her eyes. “Have you changed your mind about being my mate, Maverick?” That is the last thing I want her to think. I walk over and scoop her up in my arms and set her on my lap. I brush my fingers through her hair and I hate that she doubted how I feel about our bond. I need to make sure she knows that I am her mate forever. She leans her head on my chest and I love the feeling of her in my arms. “You are never getting rid of me. I love you Ruby and that is never going to change.” She picks up her head and I look into her beautiful green eyes. “What did you want to talk about?” “Ruby, I know you love me just the way I am and that the pack will accept me as a human, but I can’t.” She looks at me confused. “I want to spend the rest of our lives taking care of our pack, but I want to do it as a wolf.”
