My Fated Human Luna Chapter 171
24 The Truth Spell
Luca POV
After we get Esme situated in the room down the hall from ours, Jade and I head to my office. Luna
stayed with Esme. I know she had nothing to do with my daughter being taken. I place a chair next to
mine and before Jade can sit down, I take her hand. She looks up at me and I can see affection in her
eyes. “I’m sorry for everything that has happened since we arrived.” “Luca, I’m tougher than you think. I
know you want to take things slow, but no one is going to change that you are mine.” “If you don’t kiss
our mate I’m going to take over and do it for you. I know you want to as much as I do”, Sebastian says.
I’m just about to do just that when a knock sounds on the door. I smile at her before I lead her to the
chair. “Come in”, I say, as I take my seat next to Jade. The door opens and my father leads Monica and
a man I can scent is a rogue wolf. I see the dragon wing tattoo on his wrist as they come to stand in
front of my desk. I turn to the man first. “Tell me what you know about my daughter being taken out of
the kingdom.” I watch him swallow and he starts to stutter. “What is your name?” “Felix your majesty.”
“Felix, as long as you tell me the truth, you have nothing to fear.” He nods and takes a deep breath.
“A few days ago, my daughter was approached by a female dragon. Esme is her name. I have spoken
to her on a few occasions and she has always been very nice to myself and the other rogues. My
daughter gladly agreed. We are well cared for by the kingdom and we gladly do what we can to repay
your kindness.” I nod and he continues. “We were in our camp when the same woman brought the
hatchling to my daughter. We were shocked that she would need us to take a hatchling away from the
kingdom, but we were afraid to ask. Esme told us if we didn’t do what she said that we would be
executed. She was very different in the way she acted and spoke. I swear to you, your majesty, we had
no idea that the little girl was your daughter.” “I believe you, Felix.” Before I ask Felix anymore
questions, I turn toward Monica. Her face has pretty much healed and she is smiling at me. She really
is dense. “What did you see Monica?” “I saw Esme take Luna toward the gate that leads to the rogue
camp.” “When did you see this happen?” “The day Luna went missing” she says with a smug smile on
her face. “If that’s true, why didn’t you say anything the day you came to my office with my father?”
Her smile falters “I didn’t want to believe it was true. I hoped it was just a coincidence. I know how
much you love your cousin. I was worried about you Luca.” Jade growls at her use of my name. “Only
my mate can call me by my name. You will address me as King Luca. Do you understand Monica?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, King Luca” she says through gritted teeth. “Felix, you actually saw Esme the day she made this
request of your daughter?” “Yes King Luca” he says. I can see there is something more he wants to
say. “You can speak freely, Felix.” “The woman looked like Esme, but she didn’t smell like her.” “What
did you smell like Felix?” His eyes motion toward Monica and I hold back the growl. “Thank you, Felix
for all of your help.” “You’re welcome your majesty. May I ask a question?” “Of course, you may.” “Sir
William informed me about my daughter. Is it possible that we can bring her home for a proper burial?”
“I will make sure that happens and I’m very sorry for your loss. I promise you that when I find out who
did this, they will not live to see another sun rise.” “Thank you, King Luca. Please let me know if I can
ever be of any help to you.” I nod and he leaves my office.
“So, Monica, I am going to give you an opportunity to do the honorable thing for once in your life. Were
you involved with my daughter being taken and the murder of that she-wolf?” Her eyes get big like she
can’t believe I am asking her this question. “I would never hurt your daughter or an innocent she-wolf.
You know me, King Luca.” Jade lays her hand against my arm. “If that is the case then you should have
no problem proving your innocence”, Jade says. My father growls low and I shoot him a glare. “She is
not Queen and shouldn’t even be involved in this matter.” “You are no longer king and I say who is
involved in what matters. You can leave father.” “Luca” he starts to say, but I cut him off. “That was not
a request.” He is fuming but he leaves my office without another word. Monica looks terrified and it
makes me happy. “Answer your Queen” I say.
Jade POV
I can feel the deceit rolling off this b**ch in waves. It’s making Zelda crazy. It takes everything in me to
stay in my seat and not slam her against the nearest wall. I see fear flash in her eyes when I say about
proving her innocence. “How can I prove my innocence? It is obvious you have poisoned the king
against me.” I can’t help the laugh that escapes me. “I have only been here a few hours and I can tell
that my mate didn’t like you before I arrived.” I look at Luca and he nods his agreement with my
statement. “That is not true. I was to be his mate and then you ruined everything.” “I will never
understand girls like you. Always wanting what isn’t yours to have. From what I can gather, you have
known Luca since you were children.” She stays quiet. “If he was to be your mate all along, then why
did Luca choose Cynthia?” She growls and if looks could kill, I would be dead. I stand from my seat and
walk around the desk until I am standing in front of her. “Don’t growl at me unless you want me to beat
your a** like I did earlier.” She takes a step back. I take my pendant in my hand and rub the jewel.
A few seconds later, my aunt appears. Monica gasps “who the hell are you?” “Oh, I can already tell I
don’t like you” Tabby says and I laugh. “Aunt Tabby, can you work a truth spell for me?” “Wait, what,
you can’t do that” she starts to say, but my aunt is already chanting. “You’re all set Jade. Good to see
you again Luca.” She hugs me and winks at him before she disappears. Goddess, I love my family. I
turn back to Monica. “Did you have the she-wolf take Luna out of the kingdom?” I can see she is
fighting against the spell, but my aunt is very strong. “Yes” she says and slams her hand over her
mouth. Luca roars and guards bust through the doors. They grab hold of Monica and start to drag her
toward the door. “Stop”, I say using, my Alpha command. The men immediately stop walking. I come to
stand in front of her. “How did you make yourself look like Esme?” Luca is breathing heavily and I know
he is barely holding himself back, but we need these answers. “I was given a shimmer potion to look
like her.” “One last question, who helped you with all of this because I know you aren’t this smart?” She
clamps her mouth shut and I laugh at her struggle. She tries to pull away from the guard without
success. “My father” she finally says before she bursts into tears. “You b**ch you ruined everything.”
Luca stomps toward her but I stop him. “Take her to the dungeon now”, I say and the guards rush from
the office. I wrap myself around Luca and he buries his nose in the crook of my neck.
“I’m sorry Luca” I say and after a few minutes he pulls back. “You have nothing to be sorry for. Thank
you for helping me find the truth. I linked the warriors to take Timothy to the cells with his evil a**
daughter. I think we should head to bed since tomorrow is going to be a hell of a day dealing with the
council and my father.” He takes my hand and leads me back to the room that he gave to Esme. Once
we have Luna, we head to our room. I can’t believe I’m here with my mate in our room. Even though it
has been crazy, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I lay Luna down in her crib and head into the
bathroom. Luca showered first while I got Luna ready for bed. Once I’m showered, I slip on pajama
shorts and a tank top. When I walk out of the bathroom, Luca is lying in boxer briefs with his hands
behind his head. Oh goddess, this man is built like a Greek god. His scent invades my nose and Zelda
is purring. I didn’t know wolves purred. I walk to my side of the bed and slide in, keeping some distance
between us. I want nothing more than to wrap myself around him, but I need to respect his wishes.
“Good night, Luca” I say over my shoulder. I feel a strong arm wrap around my waist and soon I am the
small spoon with a big body pressed against mine. Holy sh*t I love the way he feels against me. He
kisses the back of my neck before he whispers in my ear. “After we deal with everything tomorrow, I
plan to make you mine Jade.” I stiffen at his words. I don’t want him to do this if he isn’t ready. “Luca” I
start to say, but he turns me pressing his lips to mine. If I wasn’t aroused before I am now. The kiss is
amazing and I feel it all the way to my toes. He pulls back and kisses my nose. “Tomorrow Jade, I will
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmate and mark you. You will be mine. My mate and my Queen until death do us part.” “I am already
yours, Luca.” He pecks my lips once more before I turn back over and he holds me. I know tomorrow
will be a sh*t show, but right now I am happy and safe in my mate’s arms. I can’t wait to complete our
bond. I fall into a peaceful sleep.
The Next Day
Ruby POV
Maverick insisted that there was nothing in the look I saw last night in my father’s office, but I feel like
he isn’t being totally honest with me. He distracted me with his amazing body and a lot of s*x, but I
have no intentions of letting it go. We are driving toward the police station before we head to the office.
Autumn is going to be meeting us at lunchtime so we can talk to Connor. I’m excited and nervous about
how he is going to react to the news about being Autumn’s mate. I pray for Autumn’s sake that he has
an open mind and realizes how lucky he is to be chosen by the goddess to have Autumn as a mate.
“What are you thinking about over there that you didn’t hear a word I said” Maverick says and I chuckle.
“Autumn and Conner” I say. He takes my hand and I love the feeling of his skin against mine. “All we
can do is hope he listens and gives it a chance Ruby.” I know he’s right. “Now what were you saying?”
“I was just thinking about that night of the accident and the break in.” I had already thought about what
the man had said to Gwen and what Bruce said to me. I know what Maverick is thinking. “Maverick, I
don’t know your father. Did he ever hit your mother?” He looks deep in thought. “No, when I think back
to my childhood he was absent. I never saw him hurt my mother. He never yelled or hit her. He was just
gone a lot. After he cheated on her, I wondered if it was the first time or if it was something that
happened all the time.” I hate the pain in his voice. It makes me want to rip Bruce’s arm off and beat
him with it. Gemma laughs “I would like to see that.”
We reach the police station and the officer handling the case greets us. He looks at Maverick with
concern. “We are both lawyers and will be handling Ms. Martin’s defense.” He nods but I’m sure he is
confused by this whole situation. “Has my father been brought in on charges” Maverick asks. “No sir,
we have no solid proof. All the evidence points to Ms. Martin. Without some type of evidence, we
cannot accuse your father based on Ms. Martin’s accusation.” Maverick nods and he takes us to a
room to wait for Delilah. A few minutes later, an officer brings her in and her face lights up when she
sees Maverick. The happiness fades when she sees me, but she stays quiet. “Delilah, I am going to
make this perfectly clear. Maverick isn’t interested in you. If this is a lie, so he won’t hold the accident
against you, it won’t work. We are together and the only reason we are here is because we want to see
the right person punished. If that’s you, then so be it.” “I swear to you that I had nothing to do with
hitting you.” “Start talking Delilah and if you leave any details out of what you have done, the deal is off.
You can find yourself someone else to represent you and I will make sure you are punished for what
you have done”, Maverick says. She sighs and we all take a seat.
