Sabrina POV
“Why can’t you just tell me what the hell she was doing here?” “Sabrina, we need to talk about more than why that woman was here.” Willow walks over to me. “Sabrina its important you talk to Archer, please.” What the hell could this be about, the divorce? “Fine but I still want an answer to my question.” He nods and I follow him. When we walk in to what can only be described as a mansion there are people everywhere. I’m not judging but this is strange all these people living together. It’s not my business so I don’t say anything to Archer. When we reach what I assume is his home office I take a seat in front of the desk. Archer closes the door and sits behind the desk. I watch Archer take a deep breath before he starts to speak to me. What could have him this nervous?
“First about Melissa showing up here.” I don’t even like her name coming out of his mouth. What the hell is wrong with me? “She must have followed Willow here looking for you.” “Honestly I didn’t think I was going to be able to keep my sister from beating her a**” he laughs. I love my friends for having my back. “She was going on about how you, Willow, and Tracey got her fired and made everyone hate her.” I stand up and start to pace. “After what she did, she blames me” I yell. “Sabrina she isn’t important and honestly her visit is going to seem insignificant after we discuss the real reason, I asked you to come to the office to talk.”
I look at him like he has ten heads. “Are you kidding me, this woman f**ked the man that I’m married to and blames me because it’s making her life difficult.” He growls and this time I’m sure it came from Archer. “Did you just growl at me?” “I’m sorry, I hate that you just called him the man your married to.” “You know what I meant Archer.” “I still hate hearing you say it.” “I’m confused why your so invested in my relationship and divorce.” “Please sit back down so I can explain what makes me so invested.” I
head for the chair and take a seat. “Can I ask you a favor before I begin?” “Of course, what is it.” “Please keep an open mind and don’t leave.” “Now you’re freaking me out a little bit.”
Archer POV
“I’m not trying to freak you out I promise.” She nods “you can do this Archer.” “She is made for us and she will accept us.” “I pray to the goddess your right Brutus.” “Do you believe that there are supernatural beings in this world Sabrina?” She chuckles “is that really what you wanted to talk about?” “Please humor me and answer the question.” “Can you give me some examples of what you mean?” “Vampires, werewolves, dragons, and werebears.” “If you’re going to make jokes Archer I’m just going to go back to the cottage.” “This is not a joke, do you believe in those things.” “Of course not, I’m not a child that believes in fairytale creatures.”
“What if I told you all those things are real and I could prove it to you?” “I would say as nice of a guy as you are, I think you need medication for some hallucination and delusions you’re having.” I stand from my chair coming around to stand in front of her. “I promise you I’m not crazy.” “Come with me and I’ll show you.” I put my hand in front of her and pray she takes it. After a few moments she finally does and I lead her downstairs and outside. I take her up the path passing her cottage until we come to a clearing. “Please stay here but don’t run.” I walk about twenty-five feet from her and start to take my clothes off. “What the hell are you doing” she says putting her hands over her eyes. “Sabrina you’re a nurse I’m sure I am not the first naked man you have seen.” The words taste bitter on my tongue as I say them but I know she loves being a nurse.
She uncovers her eyes and I remove my pants. I watch her eyes dip down and get big before they shoot back up to my face. I smile but I don’t say anything about her peek. “Ok Brutus you’re on.” I watch her eyes as I shift into my huge black wolf. She seems like a statue stuck in place. “Well at least she didn’t run” Brutus says. Before I can comment I watch her fall to the ground. “She didn’t run because she was in shock and now, she passed out.” I shift back throwing on my pants before I go to
her scooping her up. I carry her back inside the packhouse and up to my office. I lay her on the couch. I grab a washcloth from my ensuite bathroom and place it on her forehead.
I sit down on the edge of the couch waiting for her to wake up. Her eyes flutter open and I can see fear on her face. I hate that she is afraid. “Sabrina, you don’t have to be afraid I would never hurt you and neither would Brutus.” “We would protect you with our life.” “It’s hard to not be afraid or freak out that you just turned into a big wolf.” “Who the hell is Brutus?” “Brutus is my wolf’s name.” She pushes back sitting up. “How can this be real, I don’t understand?” “All those creatures live amongst humans and they never know it.” “We don’t make ourselves known because humans couldn’t handle knowing we exist.” “I get that” she says nodding her head. I chuckle “I know this is a lot to take in.” “Yes, it is but why did you tell me about being a werewolf.” “I’m a human and we’ve only known each other for a short time.”
“You asked me why I’m so invested in what’s happening with you and Gabby.” She stays quiet. “The Moon Goddess creates werewolves and she is essential our mother.” “We have our mother who gives birth to us but she is also like our mother.” “The goddess makes a mate for every werewolf, their other half.” “That person is our fated mate, but we never know when we will find them.” “Once we find them typically werewolves mark and mate for life.” “We know our mate by their scent and the tingles we feel when we touch.”
Sabrina POV
This is like something out of a romance novel. How can this be real? When Archer tells me about mates, I wish humans were like that. Maybe then my husband would have stayed faithful. When Archer says about tingles, I recall the feelings I had the few times we innocently touched. I’m not a werewolf so it can’t mean anything but I bet it’s amazing that someone can make you feel that way. “So have you found your mate?” He smiles “actually I have.” I don’t know why I feel disappointment when he says he has. I’m a human and he’s a werewolf, besides I’m not even divorced yet. “I would love to meet her.”
He reaches out and takes my hand. That warmth spreads from my fingertips all the way up my arm and my core clenches. “Sabrina you are my mate.”
I know I just didn’t hear him correctly. He smiles at my confused look. “Sabrina did you hear me?” “I heard you but I don’t understand, I’m a human.” “I’m not a special being.” He growls low “you are the most special woman I will ever meet.” “I’m not a wolf is what I mean.” “The goddess picks who is our other half and she makes no mistakes.” “So, you want me to be your mate for the rest of your life.” “I want that more than I have ever wanted anything in my life.” “I guess you were right.” “Right about what?” “That the b**ches visit was not important compared this.” “Archer what about Gabby?” He smiles “Gabby is my pup, Brutus has already accepted her.” “The only decision left to be made is whether or not you’re going to accept me?” “What is your full name Sabrina?” “Sabrina Marie Piper for now.” He smiles “I, Archer William Lyons, accept you Sabrina Marie Piper, as my mate and Luna.” I can’t believe what I’m about to do but I want to believe that everything I have been through was leading me here. I pray to God I don’t live to regret this decision. “I, Sabrina Marie Piper, accept you Archer William Lyons as my mate and Luna.” He laughs “I’m not a Luna, I’m Alpha and you’re my Luna.” I roll my eyes. I, Sabrina Marie Piper, accept you Archer William Lyons as my mate and Alpha.” The smile on his face is brilliant.
“What happens now Archer?” “We will take the process as slowly as you want.” “There is no rush.” “Is that normally how it works?” “No werewolves mark and mate when they find each other because the pull is so strong.” “Do you feel that pull with me?” “Yes, I do but I know you don’t feel it yet.” “I feel the feelings you describe as tingles but it’s like a warmth when you touch me.” “That’s the bond and those feelings will get stronger as we spend time together.” “Once we complete the bond you will feel the same way I do.” “We can do that whenever you’re ready.” “I would like to move you and Gabby into the pack house as soon as possible.” “I’m going to miss the cottage, I love everything about it.” He smiles “I have a feeling you’re going to like the pack house just as much.”
I stand because I need to go get Gabby from daycare. “Where are you going?” “I have to go get Gabby from daycare”. “Do you mind if I go with you, I would like to spend time with you both.” I smile and he takes my hand leading me outside. We walk down the path toward the daycare. “Archer, I assume Willow is a wolf too.” “Everyone that lives here is a wolf, this is our pack.” I stop walking. “What do you mean our pack?” “We are the leaders of the pack, the Alpha and Luna.” He must sense my panic. “Don’t panic you will be a great Luna.”
We start to walk again but I have a million thoughts in my head. “Archer what about Tracey being here, are you afraid she will find out?” “She is your best friend, I assume you will want to tell her what we are as long as you think she will keep it to herself.” “I would love too as long as it is ok with you.” “She won’t tell a soul.” When we reach the daycare Gabby comes running out and runs right to Archer. “Are you kidding me little one?” “I just saw you this morning mama.” Archer laughs and he carries her back up the path to the cottage. When we get inside Tracey and Willow are sitting on the couch. They both look in our direction and when they see our hands, they both smile like the cat that swallowed the canary.
Melissa POV
As I drive away from that crazy place, I take my phone out of my purse. I press the contact and put the phone to my ear. “What the hell do you want?” “Don’t talk to me like that Greg.” “I’m calling to help you and your being an a**hole.” “Well forgive me since you opened your f**king mouth to my wife about us screwing I’m a little irritated.” “Whatever do you want information about Sabrina or not?” “Why are you so eager to give me this information?” “Your wife and her friends got me fired and made everyone hate me.” “I’m more than happy to help you get back at her.” “Fine come to the house now.” I hang up the phone and drive straight to Greg’s house.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
