42 No Deal
Archer POV
I lead Sabrina upstairs to our floor. My mother is in Gabby’s room sitting on the floor playing with dolls. I love to see her playing with my daughter and being happy. As soon as Gabby spots us, she runs over for me to pick her up. I scoop her up, holding her close. “Daddy, can I see the big puppy again.” “You can see him a little later little one.” “How about you stay here with grandma while mama and I make dinner.” “Ok” she says and I put her down. She starts back toward her dolls. “Wait where is my hug” Sabrina pouts at her. She rushes back over and hugs Sabrina before we head to the kitchen. I grab everything from the refrigerator for salmon over rice and set it on the counter.
“So do you want to tell me the story about the big puppy.” I smile and Brutus growls. “I am not a dog, I am an Alpha wolf.” “Don’t be so touchy Brutus our pup loves you.” “I’m not talking about our pup calling me a puppy.” “I don’t want our mate calling me a puppy.” I laugh and Sabrina looks at me confused. “Brutus doesn’t want you to call him a puppy.” She puts her hand over her mouth covering her laugh and I start to tell her about us realizing Gabby was taken. “When I caught Gabby’s scent, I shifted chasing Veronica until we finally found them.” “She must have tried to keep Gabby quiet and put her hand over Gabby’s mouth because she bit her.” I see the pride on Sabrina’s face at our daughter defending herself. “Anyway, I wouldn’t leave Gabby to chase Veronica so I alerted my men to get her.” “When she saw Brutus at first, she was afraid but then she slowly started to warm up to him. By the time she was comfortable she started to rub his belly like a puppy.” “I’m sure he loved that” Sabrina says sarcastically. I pull her to me and she looks up into my eyes. “He loved spending time with our pup more than you will ever know.” “If we didn’t have to deal with the traitor, he would still be rolling around on the ground letting her pet him.” “Can I talk to him for a minute.” “Of course, you can love.”
Sabrina POV
I watch Archer’s eyes darken and a huge smile graces his face. “Hello mate” he says and pulls me closer to him. “Brutus, I wanted to thank you in person for helping Archer protect our pup.” “You never have to thank me for protecting you or our pup mate.” “You two are my world and I will do anything to keep you safe.” He slams his lips down on mine and kisses me till I’m breathless. When he pulls back, he smiles before his eyes turn back to Archer’s color. “Archer, I know that you were blaming yourself for not protecting us, but I hope you understand that is all you have done since I met you is protect us.” “I trust you with our lives, I love you.” “I love you so much Sabrina.” This time I reach up and pull him down to me, kissing him with all the love that I feel for this man. He pulls back and rests his head against mine “you have no idea the way it made me feel downstairs when you said you are my Luna, no matter what happens.” “I wish everything about our mating could have been easy but you didn’t run because you are strong and fierce.” “I will never run from anything as long as you are by my side Archer.”
We finish making dinner and set the table. Once we’re done, I grab Fern and Gabby to come to the dining room. Gabby eats chicken nuggets because she isn’t a fan of salmon. After everything that happened today, it’s nice to just enjoy our family. I tell them about my first day at the hospital. “I heard you made quite the impression telling the others to call you by your first name” Fern smiles. “I couldn’t see making them call me Luna when we are doing the same job.” “Spoken like a true Luna who doesn’t look down on her pack” Fern says. I smile and nod. Once Gabby is finished, Fern wants to talk to me and Archer alone. I take her to her room and I sit on the floor with her for a minute. I haven’t had a chance to ask her about what happened today.
“Gabby, were you scared today?” “A little, the lady seemed nice at first, but then she was mean” “The big puppy saved me, I like him a lot.” I smile and hold her close for a few minutes before I put a movie on her tv. “I love you little one.” “I love you mama.” Everything that happened doesn’t seemed to have fazed her at all which I’m grateful for. When I get back to the dining room, Fern is pacing the room.
“What’s happening” I ask as I take my seat by Archer. “Mom wanted to know exactly what happened today with Veronica.” “I can’t believe that ba**ard tried to have her take, Gabby.” “He really is a monster.” “I knew he was a**hat while we were married but never did, I think he was capable of the things he has done.” “Mom calm down, Gabby is safe and he is going to get everything he deserves.” “Not quick enough for my liking” my mother says.
Archer POV
“Mom, sit down getting upset is giving him power.” “He hasn’t been successful in trying to hurt us once and he never will be.” My phone vibrates in my pocket and I pull it out to look at the screen. A number I don’t know flashes on the screen. I put the phone to my ear “Archer Lyons” I say before I hear a voice that makes me want to crush the phone. “Hello son” he says like this is any everyday conversation. “I am no son of yours you ba**ard.” “Now son, everything I have done is for the good of the pack like any good Alpha should do.” “Rogues don’t have packs Thomas.” He growls and I know that pissed him off. “By the way your plan to take my pup failed and your accomplish is once again dead.” “Every plan you have will fail.” “I will end you.”
My mother is up again pacing as she knows my father is on the phone. Sabrina looks distraught and I hate that look on her face. She whispers “put it on speaker phone please.” I really don’t want her to hear his harsh words, but I do it anyway. We are a team and I need to treat her as an equal. She has proved she does not need my protection from this situation. I press the button and wait for my father’s voice. “You won’t be ending anything, Archer.” “I will have my pack and you will wish you had listened when I’m done torturing you.” “You will not touch my son you a**hole.” “Fern I should have known you would be with that pathetic excuse for an Alpha.” “I can’t wait to watch the light leave your eyes you sick ba**ard” my mother says.
“Well, I didn’t call to talk to you, I called to talk to Archer.” “I have a deal for you.” “I don’t make deals with snakes.” “You will make this one or I will kill a precious human” he says sarcastically. I start to
squeeze the phone as a million thoughts run through my mind of who he could be talking about. “I see I have your attention now.” “What are you talking about, Thomas?” “If you don’t hand the pack back over to me, I will kill your precious mate’s mother.” It feels like a rock in my stomach. As much as I don’t like Lilth, I don’t want to see her dead. I just wanted her out of our lives not hurt. I turn my head to Sabrina and her face that was distraught looks empty. No expression at all. Before I can answer, we hear a woman scream. “Lilth say hello to your new son-in-law and daughter, I’m sure she is there.” “She is no daughter of mine after what she has dont.” We hear flesh on flesh and she screams again. Even now this woman cares nothing for Sabrina.
Sabrina reaches over and mutes the phone. “Don’t you dare give him the pack.” “She made her choice by getting involved with him and she is no longer my mother.” “Sabrina, I know your angry but he will kill her.” “What will he do to the pack members, you, your mother, and your sister once he gets what he wants?” “I will not sacrifice everyone for the choices she made.” I place my hand on her face looking for some sign of indecision but I don’t find any. I know she is right but I hate the thought of our kind hurting any human. If I could save her, I would but it’s not possible without putting so many in harm’s way. I unmute the phone “checking with your mate like the pathetic Alpha you are?” “The only pathetic one here is you, rogue.” He growls again “do not call me that.” “I will call you whatever suits me rogue I am the Alpha.” “I will never hand over my pack to a pathetic rogue.” He growls and the line goes dead. Sabrina gets up and climbs into my lap, laying her head against my chest. I know she helped me make the right decision, but at the end of the day it is still her mother even if she doesn’t act like one to Sabrina.

I throw the phone smashing it against the wall and Lilth screams. I grab her by the hair. “You couldn’t just plead for your life like a normal person.” “F**k you, Thomas, you monsters ruined everything in my life.” ” You’re about to see first hand what this monster does to worthless humans.” “Unlike my son I don’t care about our laws when it benefits me.” “I have no problem squishing you like the bug you are.”
I extend my claw and slice through the ropes freeing her. She tries to run and I laugh. “Do you really think your going to get away from me?” I drag her out of the cottage and throw her to the ground. I took her to a secluded cottage no one knew I had. Here no one could hear her screaming, and I could also shift into Dax. She takes off into the woods. I’m sure thinking she has a chance to get away. I shift into my black wolf and take off in her direction. I can see her fifty feet ahead of me and she looks back seeing Dax for the first time. She starts to scream and trips falling to the ground. I stalk forward until my wolf is standing over her. “Please don’t do this” she pleads. “A little too late,” I say to Dax before he leans down biting her. He spits her head on the ground and I shift back so I can deal with her body. This is far from over. That ba**ard wants to call me a rogue, I will show him what rogues can do.
