51 Decisions

River POV

“Jeremiah, you need to stand down now.” “Fern is my mate and you need to accept that.” “Nothing you say right now is going to change that fact.” “How could you accept her after what she did to you?” “You don’t know everything and I was stupid to believe Thomas and his father all those years ago.” “I should have fought harder to speak to her then all of this could have been avoided.” “Bullsh*t you know they never change.” “They think that they are better than us since we are rogues or only a Beta.” “Jeremiah not all mates are like Belinda.” He growls “don’t you ever say her name to me again.” “I will not stay here and watch you be her sloppy seconds now that she is done with Thomas.” I growl ready to beat the sh*t out of him for talking about me and my mate that way. Fern lays her hand on my arm. “don’t River.” She walks toward Jeremiah “I think you need to go for a run and come back when you have cooled off so we can speak properly.” “Last time I checked you are nothing to me, so don’t give me orders.” “That was not an order, it was a suggestion.” “You are hurting River and he considers you a brother.” “Make no mistake I won’t let anyone hurt my mate brother or not.” I can see his look of shock before it returns to one of anger. Jeremiah says nothing and leaves my office without another word.

I walk over and pull Fern into my arms. “You are amazing but could you not do that again?” “My heart was in my throat about what he might do and I would hate to have to snap his neck for trying to hurt you.” She smiles “I make no promises when someone is hurting you but I can try.” “River, who is Belinda?” “She was supposed to be Jeremiah’s mate but she rejected him.” “Jeremiah met her a few months ago and since then he has been very angry as you would expect after a rejection.” “He has been a part of my pack for about ten years and he is the only one that knows what I thought happened between us” I smile. “After he himself was rejected his anger for you became much worse.” “River was Belinda a part of our pack?” “Yes she is an omega in your pack which is another reason he hated being

there yesterday, he doesn’t want to see her again.” “That really isn’t going to be an issue.” I look at her confused. “Let’s just say that I don’t allow anyone to hurt my mate or my family.” I pull her over to a chair and onto my lap. “Tell me what happened please” I say. “Belinda was one of Thomas’s many wh*re’s but honestly that’s not why I ended her.” “She tried to take Archer’s mate to Thomas so he could hurt her and my son.” I growl “I know that Jeremiah doesn’t understand it right now but he should be grateful that she rejected him.” “He should, she was an evil b**ch and not worthy of a goddess given mate.”

As soon as I get outside, I shift into Ottis. I can’t believe that she just spoke to me that way. Standing there acting like she cares about River. “Jeremiah, maybe you should listen to River.” “Not you too, do you forget about what happened to both of us at the hands of women who were meant to love us.” “Mates are nothing but a disappointment.” He whimpers and I can’t bring myself to care that it hurts him to hear those words. It is the truth. He needs to face the fact that we will never have a mate. We start to run for half an hour before Ottis finally sits down in the clearing. “Jeremiah, I know that you are hurt by what that woman did to us, but not all women are like her.” I think back to the day that we learned first- hand what mates do.

Flashback Three Months Ago

I watch as a beautiful woman comes out of the Scarlett Howl pack heading up a path, I’ve never noticed on all my trips. When the wind blows in my direction, I catch her scent. Ottis is going nuts and I know immediately she is my mate. I’m tempted to yell out to her, but I don’t want to scare her. I start to follow until she reaches a large house. A man that looks like a ranked wolf is waiting on the porch. As she reaches him, he wraps his arms around her and grabs her a**. I want to rip his hands off his body. Ottis is trying to push to the surface, but I push him to the back of my mind. They go inside and I know in my heart that I should leave, but I can’t. I follow along the side of the house until I come near a window and I hear them making sounds she should only be making with me. This can’t be happening.

My mind thinks of River being rejected and I pray this is only because she hasn’t met me yet. I’m not a virgin either, I just wish I didn’t have to see or hear it in person.

I run from the house and wait in the woods near the path to see her when she goes back to the pack. An hour later, she heads in my direction and I step out of the woods. When she sees me, she stops and I see the moment she realizes that she is my mate. She smiles and walks in my direction her scent a mix of hers and the man’s. I take some deep breaths, calming my anger at his scent and when she is standing in front of me, she touches my face. The tingles feel amazing where her finger tips stroke my cheek. “What is your name mate?” “My name is Jeremiah Scott Turner.” “I, Belinda Marie Line, reject you Jeremiah Scott Turner.” I feel my heart clench and I’m sure the shock is evident on my face. She drops her hand to her side. “You didn’t honestly think that I would mate a rogue when I just f**ked an Alpha, did you?” “Accept it I have to get back to the packhouse and I won’t be changing my mind.” Ottis is whimpering and I finally find my words “I, Jeremiah Scott Turner, accept your rejection Belinda Marie Line.” She walks past me and doesn’t look back even once. I shift and run for two hours until I’m too exhausted to think about everything that just happened. I don’t talk to anyone and head straight to my room. It takes River two days to get me to tell him what happened and even longer for me to get over it.”

Flashback Ends

“I have no desire to feel that pain ever again and I don’t want River to feel it either.” “I understand why you feel this way, Jeremiah, but River is right.” “It’s not your decision to make.” “He is a grown man, who for whatever reason has decided to give this woman a second chance.” “The only decision you have left to make is whether you care enough about River to accept his decision or cut ties with him because of it” Ottis says.

Sabrina POV

After breakfast, we head back up to our wing until the dresses arrived. I wish Fern was here to join us, but I know going with River to see his pack was important to both of them. We are sitting in our living room when Archer gets a link. “Are you ready to go check out the dresses love?” “They are all set up in one of the spare bedrooms so you ladies can try them on until you find the ones you want.” “I’m going to head to my office to finish up some work since I’ll just be in the way.” “So are you never going to work at your office in the city again” I laugh. “Nope, I gave the office up a week ago.” “One of my lawyer friends offered to let me use one of his conference rooms should I need to have a meeting with a human client.” “Archer why would” he doesn’t let me finish and he kisses me. “I don’t want to be away from you and Gabby even if my father wasn’t out there.” “My place is here with you two and my pack.” “I can still be a lawyer and work from the pack.” He kisses me one more time before he leaves. I can’t believe that he gave up his office. I know how he feels even though it sounds crazy, because I never want to be away from him either.

I head into Gabby’s room to grab her so we can go get the girls. “Are you ready to go get a pretty new dress little one?” She jumps up and I take her hand. “I want a purple one mama.” I nod and smile “let’s see if they have one first.” I can’t believe that Fern got them to bring dresses to us. We grab Tracey and Willow, who are both ready to play dress up. Tracey is more excited than Gabby. When we walk in, there are dresses everywhere. A woman that looks like a supermodel steps from behind one of the racks. “Good afternoon, ladies, my name is Jonelle and I’m here to help you pick out a dress.” “Hello I’m Sabrina the future Luna and this is our daughter Gabby.” “I’m Willow, Archer’s sister and this is the future Beta Female Tracey.” “You are both humans.” I don’t like the way she says that but she schools her expression immediately. Tabitha said it with wonder in her voice when she saw us the first time, but this woman seemed disgusted. “Forgive me, I just wasn’t expecting Archer to be mated to a human.” Now that just pisses me off, her using his name like they are familiar with each other. I know I’m the only woman he has been with, so it’s not because they know each other intimately. “Well, I am mated to the Alpha and I’m a human.” She nods and goes to fix the dresses on the rack. “Are you alright Sabrina, I can get Archer to make her leave.” “No, I’m the Luna I need to handle these situations.”

Willow nods and goes to look for dresses. Tracey isn’t so easy to convince. “I think we can both take her Sabrina” she whispers to me so Gabby can’t hear. “I love you but no, go find a dress that Levi will lose his mind over.”

“Gabby, let’s look for yours first.” Jonelle shows us where the little girl’s dresses are and Gabby immediately picks out a purple one. Once we know it fits, Gabby goes to sit on a chair and I start to look through the rack for my dress. I can feel Jonelle staring at me and I can’t help myself. “Do you have a problem, Jonelle?” At first, she looks embarrassed but then she composes herself. “I don’t think it’s right for you to be mated to a strong Alpha like Archer.” “It’s a good thing what you think doesn’t matter.” “The goddess saw fit to mate me with Archer so your opinion means jack sh*t to me.” She growls and I go to stand directly in front of her. “Take yourself out of my pack lands now before I call the guards to throw your a** out.” “You are never welcome in this pack again.” “You don’t have that authority” she says. “Like hell she doesn’t” I turn to see Archer standing in the doorway and Willow looking sheepish. “My Luna is law in this pack now leave before I lose my cool.” She looks around at the dresses. “Don’t worry about the dresses.” “I will be speaking with your boss and I will be purchasing all the dresses in this room for my Luna, now get out.” She rushes from the room. Willow grabs Gabby and Tracey, closing the door behind them.

Archer POV

I’m in my office when Willow links me. “Archer, you might want to come to the spare bedroom because your Luna is about to kick the dress girls a**.” “What the f**k?” I cut the link and rush to the room. I reach it just in time to hear her say that Sabrina doesn’t have authority over the pack. Once she leaves, Sabrina puts her hands on her hips and it makes me smile. “I was handling the situation, I’m going to kill Willow for calling you.” “I have no doubt you were handling the situation but we are a team.” “If something was happening with me should I deal with it alone?” “Of course not, but I hate that wolves like that woman and your father think I’m too weak to be mated to you.” I take her hand “you are anything but weak and the opinions of people that mean nothing to us don’t matter.” “The goddess and

I both know how strong you are.” I lean down and kiss her. When I pull back, I chuckle “just so you know Willow didn’t call me because she was worried about you, she was worried you were going to kick that woman’s a**.” “Now I’ll send the girls back in so you can finish picking out your dresses.” “You weren’t serious about buying all these dresses.” “I most certainly was” I say and kiss her before I go find the girls.

River POV

We are outside the pack house talking to the pack members. Most of them are thrilled to become part of an actual pack with all its security. A few have decided to remain rogues and I am giving them this land. Fern is playing with the children and I love to see how happy she is. She is telling them all about the new pack. I’m glad I won’t lose all these people that have become like my family. Fern and I are just finishing up with the last few pack members when I see Jeremiah come through the trees. I say a prayer to the goddess that he makes the right decision because I hate to lose him.
