My Fated Human Luna

Lilith POV

I'm sitting in my kitchen after I get home from the courthouse. I can't believe Harry said those things to me. He has always been a good husband, doing what I told him to do. Now he thinks he can just cast me aside like I mean nothing. I'm his wife, for God's sake. I'm trying to do what's best for our family, and they have made me out to be the bad guy. A knock sounds on the door, and I open it to a boy with a pizza box.

"I have a delivery for you, ma'am."

"I didn't order a pizza."

"Are you sure?" he says before he pulls an envelope out of his pocket. He hands it to me, and I reluctantly take it, opening it as the boy waits. Inside is a letter that reads:

Lilith,

You may not know me, but I know you and your family. I have a proposition that might be of interest to you. If you’re interested, meet me at the old park bench near the docks at midnight tonight. Don’t be late.

– A Friend

I glance at the boy, who just nods and leaves the pizza box on my doorstep. I close the door and look at the box suspiciously. What could this be about?

Judge Miranda POV

“After reviewing the petition and listening to the testimony of the witnesses, I am ready to make a ruling.” “Before I do, I would like to say one thing to you, Mr. Piper.” “I probably won’t have the pleasure of presiding over your divorce case, but bringing a woman that you had extramarital relations with as a witness seems like poor decision-making on you and your lawyer’s part, sir.” I can see he wants to say something to me, but he stays quiet.

“In regards to the petition for full custody of Gabrielle Piper by Gregory Piper, it is denied.” “You have provided no proof that Gabrielle Piper is in any danger while in her mother’s care.” “Sabrina Piper will maintain full custody until the divorce proceedings are finalized.” This time he doesn’t hold his tongue.

“This is bullshit, what are you fucking him too?” he says, pointing to Attorney Lyons.

“I hope that outburst made you feel better, Gregory, because it just cost you three nights in jail for contempt.” “Bailiff, take Mr. Piper into custody and make sure his sergeant calls me.”

“Yes, Judge,” he says as he walks to Gregory. He takes Greg through the back for processing, yelling all the way. “The courtroom is dismissed,” I say, and Attorney Lane, his witness, and the others leave the room.

I come down off the stand. “Attorney Lyons, can you give me a moment to go to my chambers before you and your client leave?”

“Of course, Judge Miranda.”

I head into my chambers and remove my robe before I head back out to the courtroom. When I walk back into the courtroom, Sabrina looks very confused. I’m wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Archer and Sabrina, I just wanted to tell you both congratulations on finding your mates.” The shock on Sabrina’s face makes me laugh.

“I take it Archer didn’t tell you what I am.”

“No, he most certainly did not,” Sabrina says, giving Archer a look.

“I knew that you wouldn’t base your decision on being a wolf, so I didn’t want to tell Sabrina until the case was over.”

“You’re absolutely correct. I only base my decision on the facts of the case.”

“I knew you would see him for what he is,” Archer says. I turn to Sabrina.

“I’m sorry that you have to deal with that pitiful man, but it seems the goddess is making up for it with your new mate.”

“Yes, she is, thank you.”

“Archer, as I said in the courtroom, I’m not sure who you will get for the divorce proceedings, but I’m sure if the bullshit from today is any indication of Greg’s behavior, any judge should grant the divorce quickly.”

“Thank you, Miranda,” he says. “Please tell your brother I said hello.”

“I absolutely will. He is away with his Luna right now on vacation.” “Which is why I have to get back to the pack.”

“Take care, and again, congratulations.”

Archer POV

We head outside the courtroom where the girls and Harry are waiting. They rush over, hugging Sabrina and then me. Harry hugs Sabrina before he pulls me into a hug.

“Thank you for taking care of my little girl, Archer.”

“You never have to thank me, Harry.”

We head for the elevator and outside the building. Once we start across the parking lot, I turn to see Lilith heading in our direction. For fuck’s sake, this woman is relentless. Harry must see her at the same time. We both usher Sabrina into the SUV and shut the door before we turn back to her.

“I want to speak to my daughter!” she yells.

Before I can speak, Harry does.

“You have no daughter and no husband.”

“How can you say such a thing to me after all our years together?”

“You know what, Lilith? I wish I said it much sooner.” “Stay away from my family,” he points at Sabrina and me. I smile, crossing my arms over my chest.

“This is not over, and you both are going to be very sorry.”

“I wouldn’t get your hopes up, Lilith. If one judge sees through your bullshit, so will another.”

“Fuck you and you,” she says, pointing at me and Harry.

“I don’t mean in the courtroom.”

“Careful, Lilith. Threatening an officer of the court can get you a cell next to your asshole of a son-in-law.”

“You have a lovely day,” I say before we get into the SUV.

We head to my office to meet with Megan. When we reach the building, I invite Harry inside. We show him around, and when we reach my floor, I introduce him to Misty, my secretary.

“Misty, can you entertain Harry while we meet with Megan when she arrives?”

“Of course, Mr. Lyons.”

We head into the office, and I pull Sabrina into my arms.

“I couldn’t wait another minute to hold you.”

“You were amazing today, do you know that?”

“I was thinking that about you, Archer.”

I pull back and kiss her until we are both breathless. I take a seat in my chair and pull her onto my lap.

“Why the hell didn’t you tell me the judge was a wolf?” I laugh, “I knew that Greg had no chance of winning, and she is a hard-ass, no matter if human or wolf.”

“She is Alpha Bernard’s little sister, and honestly, I’m more afraid of her than I am of him.”

She laughs, “What pack are they from?”

“They are from the Midnight Blue pack, another of our allies.”

The intercom goes off, and Misty lets us know that Megan has arrived. Sabrina takes some deep breaths and pulls the chair to the side of the desk. I kiss her forehead and take my seat behind the desk.

Sabrina POV

I sit in the chair, and a few seconds later, the door opens. Megan walks in, and Archer tells her to have a seat. She watches me as she walks to the chair.

“Sabrina, I’m—” I put my hand up to stop her.

“As Archer told you, I don’t need your apology.”

“What is done is done.”

“I just want to be done with Greg as quickly as possible, and you can help that happen.”

She nods and turns back to Archer.

“Megan, can you tell us exactly what happened between you and Greg?” I can see she is apprehensive as she looks between us.

“Megan, I promise you my anger over what happened is completely gone for you.”

“About six months ago, Greg approached me at work.”

“You work with Greg?” I ask.

“Yes, I work the switchboard at the station.” I nod, and she continues.

“At first, I didn’t even know he was married until I heard his partner ask about you.”

“When I confronted him, he said we were just having fun, and he was never leaving you for me.”

“I was angry and ready to break it off, but he can be very charming.”

“Yes, he can. He is a snake.” She nods at me, “I hate to admit it, but I fell for him, and I wanted him to leave you for me.” I stay quiet, but I will never understand how women can do this to another woman.

“When you found the messages, he didn’t even seem that upset.”

“Megan, did he break it off with you after Sabrina confronted him about the messages?” Archer asks.

“No, he only broke it off after I approached Sabrina at the club.” I can’t help the anger I feel at all of his deceit. I stand and walk over to the window.

“Sabrina, are you alright?” Archer asks.

“Yes, I just need a minute.” I take a couple more deep breaths before I take my seat again.

“After that, you were never with Greg again?” Archer asks.

“No, but I did find out from three other girls that work in the station that I wasn’t the first.” I stand and walk out of the room. How could I have been so stupid? He was never faithful or loved me from the beginning. I don’t even care about him,

Sabrina POV

I stand and walk out of the room. How could I have been so stupid? He was never faithful or loved me from the beginning. I don’t even care about him, so I don’t know why I feel hurt all over again.

Archer POV

When Sabrina leaves the office, I wish she didn’t have to hear all those things. “Thank you for coming in, Megan. Everything you told us is very helpful.”

“I will let you know when we will need you to go to court.”

“Greg will be in the courtroom when I have to tell what happened between us, right?”

“Yes, he will. Is that going to be a problem?”

“No, I want to see his face when I tell everyone what a scumbag he is.”

I nod, and Megan gets up to leave. I immediately go to find Sabrina. I can hear her in an office across the hall. “I want to kill that fucking human,” Brutus growls in my head. “I do too.”

I open the door, and she tries to wipe the tears away like she is hiding them from me. I walk over and wipe her tears away with my thumbs.

“I swear this is not because I care anything about him, Archer.”

“I know that, love. I’m not worried that you care for him in any way.”

“I wish I could take back all the pain he has caused you.”

“Honestly, you have. I’m upset with myself for trusting him blindly.”

“For believing all his lies.”

“He could have given me some disease or had a baby with someone else, and I would have known nothing until it was too late.”

“How could I be so stupid?”

“Sabrina, you are not stupid. Don’t ever say that again.”

I pull her into my arms and hold her. “Some creatures are just evil, no matter who creates them.”

“Are you ready to go get our little one?”

“Yes, let’s have a movie night tonight.”

“That sounds perfect, love.”

We head toward the reception area. I can hear Misty and Harry laughing.

“Misty, we are heading home.”

“Are you ready, Harry?”

“Actually, Harry and I are going to go have a few drinks before we head back to the pack, if it’s okay, Alpha?”

“You’re a wolf?” Harry asks her.

“Yes, is that a problem, Harry?”

“No, not at all.” Sabrina smiles and squeezes my hand. “Have fun, you two. We will see you back at the pack.”

When we get to the car, I hold the door for Sabrina to get in. Once I’m behind the wheel, I look over at Sabrina, and she looks worried again.

“What’s wrong, Sabrina?”

“If my dad isn’t Misty’s mate, he might get hurt when she finds him if they start dating.” I take her hand.

“You don’t need to worry about that, love.” “Misty’s mate was killed about five years ago on a mission for my father.”

“Oh my God, that’s terrible.”

“She worked in the pack house and was always kind to me as a teenager.” “That’s why, when I started the office in the city, I offered her the secretary position.” “Losing a mate can kill us oftentimes, but she is strong and smart.”

“Hearing her with your father today is the first time I’ve really heard her laugh in a long time.” Sabrina smiles again, and I pull the car out into traffic heading back toward our home.

Thomas POV

“You do know Fern snapped her neck, and now you want me to help you.”

“I am not going to end up like Belinda.”

“I thought you were smarter than her.” “If you don’t get caught, you won’t end up like her.”

“What do I get out of this deal, Alpha?”

“You won’t have to be an omega anymore.” “I can give you a rank in the pack when I’m back in power.”

“What rank would you give me?”

“If you get me the little girl, you can pick your rank.”

“What do you plan on doing with her if I bring her to you?”

“I have no intentions of harming the child if that’s what you’re asking.” “I will be giving her over to her father and grandmother.”

“Fine, but if it doesn’t work, I will not end up dead for you.”

She disconnects the call, and all I can do is wait now.

Lilith POV

I can’t believe Harry turned on me like that. I won’t let him or Sabrina get away with it. As I sit in the kitchen, I replay the events of the day in my mind, feeling the anger simmer inside me.

The letter from earlier sits on the table, and I decide to meet this mysterious person. If they can help me, I’m willing to listen.

At midnight, I find myself at the old park bench near the docks, waiting nervously for whoever sent the note. After a few minutes, a figure approaches, and I squint to see in the dim light.

“Lilith?” a voice calls out.

“Yes, that’s me,” I reply, trying to sound more confident than I feel.

The person steps into the light, revealing themselves to be a woman in her forties with sharp eyes.

“I’m Sarah. I have a way for you to get back at your family,” she says, her voice low and conspiratorial.

“What do you have in mind?” I ask, curiosity piqued.

“Let’s just say I know people who can make things happen. All you need to do is agree to help me with something small in return,” she explains, a sly smile playing on her lips.

I hesitate for a moment, considering the risks, but my desire for revenge wins out.

“What do you need from me?” I ask, sealing my fate with those words.

Sarah leans in closer, explaining her plan, and I listen intently, determined to regain control over my life.
