My Fated Human Luna Chapter 173

26 Misunderstanding

Ruby POV

“Beat this b**ch’s a**” Gemma says. I would love nothing more than to do just that, but this is not the shifter world. I smile at her and she looks confused. “You’re right, I can’t fire you for being a despicable human being. I know what I can do though.” I watch her swallow and shift in her seat. “I have a feeling that you were involved in my accident after you looked so shocked to see me when I walked into the office.” I’m impressed when she keeps her expression even, but she can’t control her heartrate. It sounds like it’s going to beat out of her chest. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I didn’t even know you had an accident.” “Well, rest assured I will be helping the police find out exactly who was involved.” “Are you threatening Ms. Solace?” I stand and come around leaning on my desk. “I don’t make threats Jennifer. Now I do have something to say regarding your continued employment at this company. I can’t fire you for screwing Gwen’s husband, but what I can fire you for is violating your hiring contract.” “What are you talking about?” I pick up my office phone and leave it on speaker. Jonelle in human resources, picks up on the second ring. “Ms. Solace, what can I help you with?” “Jonelle, were you involved with the hiring of Jennifer Madison?” “Yes, Ms. Solace.” “When Ms. Madison completed the paperwork, did she disclose that she had a relationship with a competitor that could directly impact the company?” I see the blood drain from her face. “No, she wouldn’t have been given a job that involved access to accounts if she had answered yes to that question, Ms. Solace.” “Thank you, Jonelle”, I say and disconnect the call.

“Integrity and honesty is something I expect from my employees. Lying on your employee documents is a terminable offense.” “Ms. Solace, I have never told Bruce anything about the company’s business.” “Unfortunately, your word is no good here. Security will meet you at your desk and you have twenty minutes to get out of my building. If you ever step foot in this building again, I will have you arrested for trespassing.” She stands stomping toward the door like a child having a tantrum. I pick up the phone and call the head of security. Once she is gone, I head to Maverick’s office. When I walk in, Gwen and Maverick are sitting on the couch. She looks up and smiles at me. “I’m sorry Ruby”, she starts to say, and I stop her. “You have nothing to be sorry for. I’m sorry you had to see her after all she put you through.” She stands up and wraps me in a hug. “Ruby, what did you do about her? I don’t want you to get the company in trouble”, Maverick says. I can feel Maverick’s anger and anxiety through our bond. Once I explain why I fired her, he stands and pulls me into his arms. “Not only are you beautiful, but you’re so smart. How did I get so lucky?” I press a quick kiss to his lips before I pull back. “There is something else I need to tell you.” Concern flashes across his face. “I believe Jennifer is the one that hit me in Delilah’s car.” His hold on me stiffens. “That f**king b**ch” Gwen says. “Don’t worry she won’t get away with all she has done.”

sure the girls are wondering where I am.” Before I can say anything, Maverick does. “Mom, I don’t think you should go to lunch until all this is settled with Bruce. I believe he is the one that broke into the apartment and hurt you.” A look of shock and then anger flashes on Gwen’s face. “You’re probably right. I’ll call them and let them know we will have to reschedule. I can wait in here

Autumn POV

if someone gives you a reason to be. You are an amazing wolf and he is lucky to have you as a mate.” I knew she was worried our mate would fear her. She seems to be thinking for a moment before she speaks again. “Autumn, if he doesn’t want us, it will be his loss. We are both amazing and we will find someone that will love us the way a mate should.” “I love you, Summer. Let’s just see how it goes before we start counting Connor out.” She nods her head and I laugh. I park the car and take a few deep breaths before I make my way into the building. I head up to Ruby’s floor and find her in Maverick’s office. When she tells me about that b**ch Jennifer, it is all I can do not to go find her. I’m glad when Gwen agrees to wait in the office. She is important to all of us and I don’t trust Maverick’s father. Ruby takes my hand,

a block because I just need some time alone. I place the phone on my seat and head back toward the pack. I know they don’t realize that I heard their conversations about being a player. Ruby may not remember our first conversations when she met Connor and Maverick. I would never hold his past against him, but he’s human. He won’t feel the pull and he probably won’t want one woman if he’s used to being with many. Summer whimpers but it’s better to realize this now before we try to get him to believe in the bond. It would kill me if he betrayed me after we mated. We drive thirty minutes and as soon as we reach the pack, I head to the cottage. My parents are in the living room and I don’t stop to talk to them. I head into my bathroom and strip off the dress I wore. I scrub off the makeup from my face. I let a few tears fall as I think of the bond that I will never share with Connor. After a few minutes, I turn off the water. “Autumn Lisa Blade get your butt out here.” I’m shocked to hear

out what was going on in your mate’s office?” “Mom, I just need to accept the fact that my mate is never going to be with me. I heard him tell the woman in his office that he loved her before I took off down the hallway. Connor is a player and I don’t want to be hurt by my mate.” “Autumn, I understand you’re afraid, but I have never known you to run when things are hard. You don’t even have all the information. You can’t let fear rule your actions. I was rejected by my first mate and if I had run, I wouldn’t have

harass your mate.” My eyes get big “Connor is here, in the pack.” “If you didn’t block Ruby, you would have known he was on his way.” She leaves and a few minutes later my mate’s tall muscular figure is standing in my doorway. “Can I come in Autumn?” “Yes, please come in.” He sits on the bottom of the bed so there is space between us. “Autumn, I’m a little freaked out by all of this but why did you run away?” Summer is purring
