My Fated Human Luna Chapter 135
73 Beloved
Adrian POV
As quickly as his eyes open they close again. Goddess help me, he is my beloved. Drayce almost killed my beloved. I don’t have time to focus on that right now. “Serina, we need to get him back to the pack. He needs medical attention. The change is keeping him alive but he needs his wolf to heal him.” She looks at me confused. “He has been in a cell surrounded by silver. His wolf has been suppressed.” She nods, stepping back and shifting into a beautiful red wolf. I start to lift Andrew when I hear a growl from behind us. I turn to see Joseph and a man I’ve never seen before. He is not part of the coven, he is a wolf.” I look back at my beloved and Serina’s wolf is standing over him. She is protecting him and I couldn’t be more grateful at this moment. “I believe he belongs to us”, Joseph snickers. “Your brother won’t take kindly to your interference girl.” The only saving grace right now is he can’t alert my brother. I start toward them with my vampire speed and I reach the man first. I grab him by the throat and quickly snap his neck. I feel a piercing pain in my side as I am thrown backwards. I manage to get to my feet despite the injury. Joseph shifts and runs at me. I jump up, landing on his back. He starts to buck trying to throw me off. I grip his fur and extend my fangs. I won’t give him enough venom to change only to make him sick. I bite down and his blood begins to flow into my mouth. As I give him venom, images of his past flow through my mind. I release my bite and his wolf falls to the ground. I jump off ready to finish him after what I just saw, but I hear yelling in the distance. They must have realized Andrew is gone. It won’t take them long to reach us.
I turn and Serina’s wolf is lying next to Andrew. I pick him up placing him on her back. I climb up behind him knowing he can’t hold on. Once I have him stable, I let Serina’s wolf know we’re ready. She takes off and I can’t believe how fast we are moving. I know wolves can run, but this isn’t a normal wolf speed. That’s how she was able to follow me. It doesn’t take us long to reach the pack border. As soon
as we cross over into the pack lands we are surrounded by three wolves. I yell out “we have the Beta and he needs help.” One of the wolves shifts and when he realizes it’s Andrew, he gives the order to stand down. “Follow me” he says over his shoulder before he shifts back into his wolf and we follow behind him. When we reach the pack hospital, Serina’s wolf lays down, allowing me to slide off with Andrew in my arms. Two of the guards grab him and carry him inside. I follow close behind them. “You have to wait here” a nurse says as she stops me from going through the double door. Everything in me wants to bare my fangs and move her but I don’t. “Adrian” I hear from behind me and I’m wrapped in Brooke’s arms. “What the hell were you thinking? What if you were caught? What if you were killed?” “Brooke, I’m fine. I’m here with you and I’m fine.”
The door opens and Serina walks in, followed by Lake, Nicholas, and Jayden. She wraps me in a hug. Jayden picks me up, hugging me. “If I wasn’t so happy right now I would be giving you such a lecture about putting yourself at risk.” I smile and he sets me on my feet. I won’t tell him right now what I saw when I bit his father, but he deserves to know exactly what his father has done. He kisses Brooke before he walks through the double doors. I hear Lake scolding Serina and I’m just about to interrupt when she stands placing her hands on her hips. “I am not a child. I knew what I was doing and we saved Andrew because I was there to help. I am an equal Lake.” He stands and wraps her in a hug. “I know you are but you scared the hell out of me. Please, next time, include me in the plan. It wouldn’t just kill your parents and siblings. It would kill me if something happened to you.” I smile loving how honest and sweet Lake is with his sister-in-law. She pulls back, “I’m sorry, next time I will let you know what is going on, but you don’t get to stop me if I do.” He sticks out his hand “deal.” Nicholas comes around him and wraps her in his arms “you’re amazing.”
Drayce POV
The door flies open and one of my soldiers rushes in. I push the mutt’s mouth off my d**k and fix my pants. I’m just about to scream at him for his disrespect when he begins talking fast about the prisoner. “Slow the f**k down and tell me what is going on.” “The prisoner is gone. I went to relieve Justin and he
was dead.” “Why the f**k are you here instead of looking for him and whoever helped him escape?” I reach my hand out and rip out his throat. His body falls to the ground and I step over him. I will not tolerate stupidity from my men. I don’t even give a second thought to the b**ch whimpering on my floor. I alert my guards and head outside to join them to look for the mutt. He was barely hanging on and there is no way he escaped on his own. I will not lose my bargaining chip. I know that boy is weak and he will do everything he can to save his Beta.
Once I’m outside, I hear someone yelling from the eastern border. I use my speed to reach him. A wolf I recognize as Joseph is lying on the ground. He is still breathing, which is more than I can say for Anthony. He has been drained and I’m sure I know who did it. I turn to my men, dismissing all but three of them to look for the mutt. “Take him to the healer now”, I say pointing at Joseph’s wolf. They lift him, taking him to the healer’s cottage. She walks out onto the porch and looks at the wolf lying on the ground. “What do you expect me to do for this wolf? I know how to help vampires, not wolves.” “I still need him to get what belongs to me. If he dies, you die. I suggest you figure out how to help him.” I see the fear flash across her face. I turn walking back toward the mansion. I know Adrian is responsible for helping that mutt escape. I reach my office and thankfully, that wh*re was smart enough to leave. I might have drained her just for being a wolf with how angry I am right now.
Andrew POV
I meant every word I said to Jayden, not because I don’t care about dying, but I know what losing her would do to him. The pack needs Jayden. That ba**ard cannot be Alpha again. The pack is so different with Jayden in charge. The pack members are happy and well cared for. After that f**king vampire hit me again, everything went black. I can’t reach Gideon and my wounds aren’t healing. It won’t take long for my body to succumb to the injuries without my wolf. He had no intention of trading me for Brooke. It was all a lie. I don’t know how long passes before I feel something, like I’m being moved. Maybe they are taking me outside to burn my body. I pray it is over quickly. I’m on the ground. I can smell the grass
and the trees. I manage to open my eyes and the most beautiful woman is staring down at me. Before I can even try to speak, the darkness consumes me again.
I don’t know how long has passed before I hear a beeping sound, but I still can’t open my eyes. Where the hell am I? I know that I’m not dead, but I have no idea where the hell I am. I still can’t open my eyes. “Gideon”, I call out to my wolf. This time I feel him. I call out two more times before he finally answers. “I’m here Andrew. I’m sorry I couldn’t reach out sooner, I’ve been trying to heal you.” “How the hell am I still alive?” “Everything will be clear very soon.” “You sound like a fortune cookie, just tell me what the hell is going on.” I hear voices before he can answer. I try to force my eyes open. This time it takes a lot of effort but I manage to open them completely. “Andrew your awake”, Jayden says as he rushes toward me. The doctors and nurses are checking the machines. My throat feels like I haven’t drank in a week. I try to ask questions but all that comes out is coughing. Jayden grabs a glass of water and holds it to my lips. “Small sips Andrew”, the doctor orders. Once I manage to take three sips I can finally speak. “How the hell did I get here?” He smiles and relief washes over me because I know Brooke is safe. “Apparently my Luna’s protector went on a secret rescue mission without anyone knowing.” Now I’m really confused. “Adrian is Drayce’s sister and she saved Brooke. Now with Serina’s help she saved you.” I smile “she must be a pretty amazing woman.” “She is and I’m glad she is on our side”, he says with a chuckle. “I’m going to get her and Brooke. I’m sure they are waiting not so patiently.”
He leaves and I say a prayer of thanks to the goddess for bringing me home safely. Gideon begins to pace in my mind. “What the hell is wrong with you” is all I manage to get out when the smell of vanilla invades my nose. Gideon growls “mate” before the door opens. Jayden walks in, followed by Brooke and the woman from earlier. She is my mate, she is a vampire. I reach my hand up touching my neck and run fingers over two puncture marks. She bit me. What does that mean? Did she mark me? She rushes over until she is standing a few feet from my bed. “I’m sorry, it was the only way to save your life. I had to change you.” I’m a hybrid. I see fear and hurt on her face. I don’t want her ever to feel
either. I reach out my hand, praying she will take it. Thankfully, she does and I look into her eyes. “Mate” I say and she smiles. “Beloved” she whispers back and I love hearing those words from her mouth. “Thank you for saving my life.” She takes me by surprise when she steps forward and presses her lips to mine. The tingles where our lips are touching feels amazing. A throat clears and she pulls back with a blush on her cheeks. I look at a smiling Jayden and Brooke. “Congratulations” Jayden says, and Brooke rushes over wrapping my mate in her arms. The goddess is truly amazing.
As she hugs Brooke, I notice blood on her shirt. I growl “your hurt”, I say pointing to her side. Brooke pulls back and starts to move her shirt, revealing her injury. “I’m fine really” she insists. She has four deep claw marks on her side. “Brooke, I will be fine. I may not heal as quickly as a wolf, but I’ll heal.” I hate that she was hurt rescuing me. “Who did this to you” Jayden asks, knowing it was a wolf. I see sympathy on her face and I know exactly who hurt her.
Adrian POV
I hate the pain I see on Jayden’s face. I had hoped that I could wait to tell him what I saw in his father’s blood but he needs to know. “It was your father that dragged his claw across my side when I killed the wolf with him.” “I’m sorry Adrian” he starts to say and I stop him. “You are not responsible for your father’s actions just as I’m not responsible for my brothers.” He nods and I take a deep breath to tell him what I saw. “Jayden, what do you know about your mother?” He looks at me with confusion on his face at the shift in topic. “I don’t know much besides that she died giving birth to me. My father never really talked about her.” “Jayden, in order to get away I had to bite your father. I gave him enough venom to make him sick but not change him.” Andrew reaches out and takes my hand in his to offer support. “The blood that I drank gave me images from the past.” “You were able to read him. That doesn’t much matter now we know the truth” Jayden says. “What I saw was further back in the past. I’m sure what the goddess wanted me to see.” He stays quiet and I continue.
“Your mother was an omega in your pack. She was fated by the goddess to your father. She didn’t die in childbirth.” “What the f**k happened to her, Adrian?” “Your father kept her prisoner until she produced
you and then he gave her to my father. That is how the pack’s alliance started with the coven.” Jayden’s eyes flash black and he roars. I know his anger is not directed at me and I feel no fear. Brooke wraps her arms around him and he buries his hand in her neck. He begins to sob and I turn to face Andrew. My heart breaks as I listen to this poor man grieve for a mother he never had the chance to know because of a monster that worried about status. A monster that gave his mate as a sacrifice so no one would ever know that he was mated to an omega.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
