My Fated Human Luna Chapter 71
Lake POV
I’m surrounded by darkness. No matter how hard I try I can’t reach Razor. The last thing I remember is Jessica screaming and my father face down on the table after my Alpha ceremony. I can hear the beeping of machines even though I can’t open my eyes, so I’ll take that to mean I’m not dead. I wish I could just open my eyes and see what the hell is going on. More than anything, I wish I could reach Razor. I don’t know how long elapses before my eyes start to flutter open. “Lake, I’m here man”, I hear Jason’s voice. I manage to finally open my eyes completely and he is standing at my bedside. “There you are, you had us worried buddy.” I try to talk but my mouth feels like a desert. “Hold on I’ll get you a drink.” I feel the head of my bed rising and that is when I notice Atticus standing near the door for the first time. Jason notices who I’m staring at and he gets my attention with the cup of water. I take a sip and clear my throat. “He is here to guard you even though I told him he could leave” Jason says. “Since I’m not Beta yet, he refused to go” Jason whispers to me. “Atticus, you’re dismissed” I say sternly. Goddess help this wolf if he is helping that b**ch. I will rip him apart.
“Alpha, I will gladly leave but I would like to speak to you alone for a moment.” “Why do I need to leave” Jason asks. I’m not afraid of Atticus and I want to know what he could possibly have to say to me right now. “Jason, please step outside while Atticus and I speak.” I can see he wants to argue but he doesn’t. Once he is outside and the door is closed, Atticus comes to stand near my bed. “Alpha, I plan to find out who did this, I vow they will pay with their lives.” I stay silent for a moment. “Where is my father?” He drops his head before he answers me. “I’m sorry Alpha I failed to protect him and you.” “Alpha Raymond didn’t make it.” I ball up my fists but I hold the hurt and anger inside. “Take me to my father’s body now.” “Alpha the doctors” I growl. “Take me to my father now” I say using Alpha command. Atticus grabs a wheelchair from the corner and I get into it without a word. If I wasn’t so weak I would never use this wheelchair, but my body is still processing the silver, I’m sure.

me down the hallway in silence. When the doctor sees me, I can tell he is about to say something but the look on my face must stop him.
We reach the door and I hate what I’m about to see behind it. I know the doctor and Atticus are standing silently behind me, but I don’t acknowledge them as I get myself to my feet. “Alpha” the doctor says, and I turn silencing him with a look. I push open the door, moving slowly but on my own until I’m inside the room and the door closes behind me. My father is lying on a table covered in a sheet up to his shoulders. I manage to make it until I’m standing next to the table. It’s crazy to say but he looks at peace. He never looked at peace while he was alive. “Why didn’t you just listen to me?” “Why did you have to be so stubborn?” “Why couldn’t you just listen to me? “Why do I have to bury you because you were too much of an a**hole to just believe that I could be right about her?” I can feel the unshed tears in my eyes. If he were here, I know he would be giving me hell. Alphas don’t cry, Lake. Man up and act like an Alpha, I can hear his words in my head. I take a deep breath and compose myself before I leave this room to face everyone that I’m sure is waiting.
Once I reach the door, I start to turn the handle while saying a prayer that Atticus has left. I really don’t want to see him right now. I can’t prove his involvement in this yet but I will. F**k I say to myself when I see that Jason is waiting but he isn’t alone. “Belinda, I’m not really up for visitors right now.” “I was worried about you” she says. Jason rolls his eyes “why don’t you go back to the pack house, I’m here with him” he says. She ignores him and once I’m in the chair, she follows us to the room. I can’t deal with her a** right now. I get into the bed and I’m physically and emotionally drained. Before I can say anything, Belinda is at the side of my bed holding my hand. “Lake, I’m sorry about your dad.” I pull my hand out of hers and lay it by my side. “Thank you,I appreciate that.” “I don’t mean to be rude but I really need to rest.” “Please go back to the pack house.” “Lake, I want to be here for you.” “Can I get you anything, something to drink?” “No, I have water, really I just need rest.” I can see a pout forming on her l!ps. Oh goddess, I can’t do this right now. A second later the pout is gone, replaced by a look I can’t read. “Ok, I’ll go, but if you need anything, just let me know.” She bends down, k!ssing my
forehead, and the draw I felt to her before is gone. Maybe it had something to do with the ceremony or nerves. I’m glad it’s gone.
She leaves the room and Jason takes a seat next to my bed. “Oh, my goddess, you have to get rid of that girl.” “I know it’s definitely the second thing I’ll be taking care of.” “Finding out who helped that b**ch poison me and my father is number one.” “Do you really believe that Atticus is the one?” “I do, he probably thought with me and my father out of the way and her still Luna he could step right into the Alpha role.” “Man, I thought he was loyal to your father and you.” “Power and promises from a woman can make some men stupid I guess.” “I won’t rest until I have the truth.” “Alright enough talk about that now you need to rest so you have the strength to do all those things.” “Thank you for being here for me but honestly you can go back to the pack house.” “The warriors are going to be standing guard outside my room until I’m out of here.” “Lake that isn’t necessary, I can stay here with you.” “No, I’m sure just go home.” I can see Jason doesn’t really want to leave but I don’t need him to hold vigil at my bedside. He pats my shoulder before he walks out of the room. Once the door is closed, I try to reach Razor again. I can’t feel him at all. I say a prayer to the goddess that I can feel him soon.
Kenneth POV
I’ve tried to call that a**hole back ten times to tell him about that little sh*t Lake telling me the deal is off but he still hasn’t answered. I need Raymond’s pack if I want Archer and Scarlett Howl to pay. I don’t have enough men to fight a pack that size. Raymond was hell bent on making sure that Archer’s precious human daughter did not become Alpha of a wolf pack. I know him and he hasn’t changed his mind. I will find a way to speak with him and he can get his little ba**ard of a son on board with this plan. A knock sounds on the door and Derrick comes in. “Any luck on getting more men to join us?” “Kenneth, you know rogue wolves, if the price is right you can get them to do anything.” “I didn’t mention Scarlett Howl just like you ordered.” “How many men do you think we can get to join us?” “I spoke to five rogue leaders and three of them are willing to meet with you.” “That’s good, that’s very good.” “Raymond isn’t answering me and his son is useless.” “Do you think he is backing out of the
deal?” “No but we can’t wait on him.” “Set up the meeting individually with the rogue leaders.” “I’ll get it done and let you know what they say.” He leaves and I sit back in my chair. What the hell could possibly be happening in the pack? An Alpha ceremony shouldn’t stop Raymond from answering me.
Gabrielle POV
I haven’t spoken to Bret since he k!ssed me and I called him out on his lies. Thankfully, he has been avoiding me. My classes have been going pretty smoothly and I have been able to finish all my requirements for graduation early. Fortunately, because I will be taking over as Alpha, I will be done with school soon. I won’t take my official t!tle until Serina gets her wolf. After much discussion, my father has convinced me that I will be acting as Alpha until the actual t!tle changes. That will allow him to support me but give me the power to make the decisions to most benefit the pack. I turn eighteen in a month and I will be performing the day to day Alpha duties and attending meetings with my father by my side. .I know that it is still going to be hard for alpha wolves to accept me, but this will give them a chance to see me as the Alpha of our pack and hopefully believe that I am an equal. Serina is standing near her locker with Nicholas as I come down the hallway from my last class. “You guys ready to head home.” “Absolutely, I’m ready to veg out after training in the theater room” Serina says. “That sounds like a plan to me,” Nicholas says. I smile “maybe after I’m done in the office with dad, I can join you two.” I would love to blow off Alpha work but I need to show my dedication and sacrifice to prove myself. We head through the double doors of the school and down the path.
When we are halfway to the pack house Monica, Leslie, and Macey step onto the path in front of us. Great, I was hoping she had decided to act like a normal person instead of a b**ch. No such luck I guess. I don’t say a word and we continue to walk until they are standing in front of us. “You can move Monica or I can move you, your choice.” She flashes her eyes black at me and smiles. “I see you got your wolf.” “Good for you now move.” I know she thinks that I’m scared now that she has her wolf but I’m not. “You aren’t very smart human.” I laugh “is that the best you’ve got, human.” “That’s your insult calling me what I am.” “I suggest you work on your smack talk if your trying to hurt my feelings.” I push
past her along with Nicholas and Serina. Before I know what’s happening, she grabs my shoulder, turning me to face her. She steps into my face. “I would be very careful because your daddy isn’t here to protect you.” “I don’t need my daddy’s protection.” “I’m warning you human stay away from Bret or I will forget who you are related to.” I laugh “first of all I don’t want Bret.” “Second I don’t answer to you.” “Have a nice day” I say before I turn walking away this time. She is out of her mind, she should be worrying about finding her mate instead of some crush she has on Bret. We finish the walk home and I head to my father’s office.
Monica POV
“Why didn’t you just tell her Monica?” “Shut up Leslie and keep your mouth shut.” “I think you should have said something to her too” Macey says. “I don’t want to hear anymore about it.” “She is a b**ch and she is going to get everything she deserves.” “No human should be an Alpha.” I start walking down the path before I shift into Marigold and take off running.
