    My Fated Human Luna Chapter 165


    18 Protection


    Maverick POV


    I have never been this angry in my life. That b*tch tried to kill Ruby. She tried to take her from me and I


    swear with all I have in me she is going to pay for what she has done. “Maverick, look at me” Ruby


    says, and I stare into her beautiful green eyes. “What is going on in that handsome head of yours?” “I’m


    so sorry Ruby. I knew she was a deceitful b**ch but I never thought she could do something so evil. I


    could have lost you because of her.” She ces her hands on my face. “You have no reason to


    apologize to me. What she did is on her? I’m just d that Gemma was able to heal me so quickly.”


    “What happens now Ruby?” She smiles “we are going to speak to the police about that b**ch. She is


    going to be punished for what she did.” I look at her confused. I don’t know what I expected, but I didn’t


    think it would involve the police. She must see my confusion. “Werewolves cannot kill humans unless it


    is to save our lives or someone we love. Even though she tried to kill me, the time has passed when


    killing her would be viewed by the council as justified. We will have to use the human legal system” she


    says, winking at me. I’m about to ask why she is winking but we are interrupted.


    A knock on the door gets our attention. “Ms. Sce, I don’t mean to interrupt you, but your family is


    getting a little upset now that they know you are awake. I brought you some hospital scrubs since we


    had to cut off your clothes.” “Thank you, we will be right out.” I don’t know why I expected her to turn


    when she didn’t do it at theke, but needless to say she doesn’t. The hospital gown falls to the floor


    and she is standing before me bare. I feel my c**k twitch in my pants and I have never wanted to touch


    a woman more in my life than I want to touch this woman right now. I want to be inside her and make


    her mine. Once she is dressed, she walks toward me and presses her lips to mine. The kiss is hot and


    doing nothing to calm my body down. “As soon as we deal with this and check on your mother, I want


    you to make me yours.” She pecks me one more time before she heads for the door. I follow behindProperty of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    her. We can hear amotion as we approach the lobby. “You said she is discharged, then where the


    hell is she” Gabby says. As soon as she sees Ruby, she walks past the nurse wrapping her in a hug.


    “Don’t scare your mother or mate like that again.” “Hey what the hell how about her father,” Lake says,


    and I can’t help butugh.


    “I’m fine I promise. Gemma is amazing and I have no injuries.” “If I had that b**ch in front of me right


    now I would beat her a** for trying to hurt my pup” Gabby says. “Mom, I’m fine, besides I would rather


    not have to go to court to get you out of jail.” We walk outside and Ruby says goodbye to her parents


    and Tabitha assuring them she will be home soon. I lead Ruby to my car and we head to the police


    station. I’m grateful when the officer from earlier is behind the desk. When he sees me and then Ruby,


    he rushes over. “Sir, how is your wife,” he says, and I see a smirk on my beautiful mate’s face. “I’m


    good thank you officer.” The look on his face isical. “How” he starts to ask and Ruby cuts him off.


    “Airbags are an amazing thing.” Before he can say anymore, I get his attention. “We actually came to


    speak to you about the ident.” “I wish I had better news for the two of you, but we haven’t found


    anything that will identify who hit Ms. Sce.


    “We believe we know who hit Ruby. She saw a red SUV before she lost consciousness.” He looks at


    Ruby to confirm what I’m saying. Once she does, he looks back at me. “My ex-fiance Delh Martin,


    drives a red SUV.” He picks up a pad and takes down Delh’s information. “We will look into this and I


    urge you both to allow the police to handle this.” “That’s why we are officer and not banging on her


    door” Ruby says. He nods and we head back to my car. Once we are inside, we drive back to my


    apartment. I hold Ruby close to my side as we ride the elevator to my floor. I can’t believe just hours


    ago I was encouraging her to choose someone else. I’m so d that she didn’t listen to me. I could


    have lost her because of my own insecurities. I may not have a wolf, but I know that Ruby is meant to


    be mine. I know how crazy that sounds, but I feel it with every fiber of my being. The door slides open


    and I ce my hand on the small of her back, leading her to my door.


    Ruby POV


    When he turns the key and opens the door, a foul scent invades my nose. It smells like someone took a


    bath in cologne. I grab Maverick’s hand before he can walk into the apartment. “Someone has been


    here in your apartment.” He pulls away before I can stop him. As he flips the lights on, he doesn’t even


    stop to look at the destruction in his apartment. I feel sick thinking about Gwen. We rush down the


    hallway and he throws open the door to a bedroom. I can scent Gwen and I feel a slight relief before


    we walk in. I see her lying on the bed. She has a wound on her head but she is breathing, thank the


    goddess. I immediately link Autumn, but I’m met with a block. What the hell would she have a block up


    for? I can’t focus on that right now. I link my Aunt Tabby and hold my ne. She appears and when


    she sees Gwen, she rushes to her. We watch the glow and the wound closes. Gwen’s eyes flutter open


    and she looks panicked until she realizes she is safe.


    “Mom you’re alright” he says as he wraps her in a hug. “No thanks to that ba**ard who hit me.” “What


    ba**ard mom? Who did this to you?” “I wish I knew. He was wearing all ck and a ski mask. I don’t


    even know how he got in.” “Did he say anything, Gwen?” She smiles at me. “He said he will have what


    he is owed or Maverick will continue to suffer.” I hold back the growl. Gwen looks at Tabby and smiles


    “you must be Autumn’s mother. She looks just like you.” “Gwen, this is my Aunt Tabby. She is a healer


    too. I know you probably have a million questions and I promise I will answer them, but we need to get


    you some ce that is safe.” Maverick looks at me with concern. “Ruby, can I talk to you in the


    hallway.” I walk into the hallway and he follows me. “Ruby, I love that you want to protect my mother


    and I know she would never tell anyone what you are but isn’t this against the rules.” Iy my hand


    against his face. “Not if we make her part of the pack. I know your mother would never betray my kind


    and I want to protect her.” He ms his lips down on mine. Goddess this man can kiss. He pulls back


    and we head back into the bedroom.


    “Tabby, after we speak with the police we will be returning to the pack with Gwen. Will you let my


    parents know to ready a room on our floor.” Tabby smiles and without a word she disappears. Gwen


    gasps and I smile. We have a lot to tell you. Let’s call the police and get that out of the way so we can


    have that discussion. She smiles and nods at me. Thankfully, the police don’t keep us long and once


    they take the report, we are free to leave. They wanted Gwen to be checked out but, of course, we all


    knew that wasn’t necessary. We head down to the car and start the drive back to the pack. “Gwen, I


    trust you, but I need you to promise me all you are about to learn will never be shared with another


    human as long as you live.” “I promise you that I will protect you and my son with my life. That includes


    keeping your secrets.” I nod and begin to tell her about the pack and all the supernaturals that live


    there. She listens and I wait for her to speak. “I knew you were special the first time I saw you” she


    says, and I smile.


    “I would like to tell you both a story that I have never told another person. Not even your father,


    Maverick.” I can see the anger sh across his face when she mentions Bruce. “When I was a little girl,


    my parents would take us to theke all the time. I was about seven years old and I wandered off. I


    couldn’t find my way back to the cottage and I heard a growl. I was so scared when an ugly wolf with


    dirty fur started toe toward me. I thought I was going to die that day. That was until a huge ck


    wolf came out of the trees and bit down on the wolf. He threw the wolf toward the tree and he didn’t


    move again. The big ck wolfid down and I don’t know why but I wasn’t afraid. I walked toward him


    and slowly reached out until I touched his snout. I thanked him before he took off into the woods,


    dragging the other wolf with him. A few minutester, my mother found me. I never forgot that day and I


    have never told a soul about my wolf savior.”


    I smile “most wolves want to live in peace with their mates and packs. It sounds like you had a run in


    with a rogue. Some of them are just the same as pack wolves and some of them are like the one you


    met. They don’t value life and will hurt others for their own gain.” “So, wolves are just like people then,


    good and bad” Gwen says and I smile. “What is a mate?” “The goddess pairs all her children with a


    person she believes to be their perfect match. The other half of their soul.” Maverick turns in his seat to


    look at his mother. I feel the butterflies in my belly when I hear him speak again.”I am Ruby’s mate.” I


    look in the rearview mirror and Gwen squeals. “I’m so happy for you both. Thank you, Ruby, for trusting


    me and epting my son.” “Of course, we are family now.”


    Luca POV


    Sherman walks in and hands me the phone. “It’s the head of the wolf council, Elder Marcus.” “Elder


    Marcus, this is King Luca of the Dragon Kingdom.” “King Luca, I was actually about to call the dragon


    council before Sherman reached out to me.” “What were you going to call them about?” “It seems that


    one of ourrgest and most powerful packs has found a dragon hatchling outside their borders.” I growl


    “my daughter is missing. Is the hatchling alright?” “Yes, she is fine. The pack is caring for her. Alpha


    Lake asked that I reach out to the dragon council to find the hatchling’s parents.” “I mean no disrespect


    Elder Marcus, but if I find out that any wolf had anything to do with taking my daughter, I will turn them


    to ash.” “I assure you that no member of the Scarlett Rose would ever be involved in such a despicable


    act.” “I hope you’re right for their sake. Please send Sherman the packs location. I will be leaving


    shortly for the pack. We should be there by morning.” “I will let the pack know that you are on your


    way.” “Thank you, Elder Marcus.” “You’re wee, King Luca.” I hang up the phone and look at


    Sherman. “They will send you the pack’s coordinates. Get the jet ready to leave. I want to be in the air


    in thirty minutes.” He nods and leaves my office.


    The door opens and my father walks in looking concerned. “Where is Sherman running to?” “I believe


    we have located Luna, so we are on our way to bring my daughter home.” “That’s wonderful news,


    Luca. Should Ie with you?” “No, I won’t be long. Stay here and continue to try to find out who was


    involved in my daughter’s abduction. I want them punished.” “Of course, Luca. Please be careful and


    hurry back.” I nod and grab a bag I keep ready before I head for the jet.


    Delh POV


    Ie out of my room and someone is pounding on my door. I look out the peephole and see two


    police officers. I open the door “can I help you officers?” “Are you Delh Martin?” “Yes I am.” “Delh


    Martin, you are under arrest for a hit and run involving Ruby Sce.” “I don’t know what the hell you’re


    talking about? I have been here all night.” “The busted up red SUV in the parking garage says


    different.” They start to read me my rights and I can’t believe this is happening.
