ArcherSo let me get this straight, you knew about the letters all these years and you never said anything to me?" I cried, dumbfounded by this latest discovery.I know it is not her fault but I still feel she should have said something, I mean it is not just these letters but many others!!At first, I thought she saw just this one but it seems she has been keeping them locked away and I can't help but wonder when she intended to tell me.I held her hands and I squeezed them in support, I was hurt by this new turn of events.I felt small all over again!Exactly the way I did when my dad never returned and how I was forced to leave my childhood behind and face a new life in a new direction." I don't know if I should have told you or if it was even important after all your dad is gone...." She muttered, staring off Into the distance.I do not blame her! She lost herself when Dad died, and for years she struggled to remain alive and strongI remember every struggle and pain, many nights
Archer"Ugh." I groan out in annoyance lift myself on my elbows and shuffle closer to my reading desk, grabbing my phone and swearing under my breath.I overslept and that also in the office!!It's past 5:00 pm and I had a lot to do today, we're getting ready for the mating ball and I still have so much to do", I couldn't leave the entire preparation to the pack mates, I wanted everything to be perfect.I got up from the couch and mind-linked the guard outside to go get me some water, my throat felt dry and I had been having strange thoughts since I woke up.My uncle Mateo walked in so abruptly and I was wondering what he wanted." What are you doing here," I growled lowly." What do you need? I asked." Well, can't I come to see my nephew anymore? He looked grim and I wasn't appreciative of his presence and I told him just that!" No need to be rude towards me he snarled", I just wanted to confirm if you were going to be inviting the blood crest pack to the mating ball. " Yes, I alr
HolaRain! I yelled for the hundredth time this morning." Pass me the syrup! you've been hoarding the entire supply for the past half hour" " Fantasia complained, dramatically rolling her eyes and I tried holding my laughter.I walked gently behind the beautiful culprit and I snatched the maple syrup bottle off her hands.Another thing I've learned is that rain loves maple syrup...Likes she is obsessed with the sauce. since Finn made waffles the other day and decided to bless us with his homemade syrup, she couldn't keep her hands off them.We've been sitting lazily in the living room since morning and eating burgers, fries, pancakes, and chicken wings with lots of soda.We were going shopping today and I was so excited because this was my first mating ball and I was going to be with my mate for the first time publicly.Ok, scratch that!We were going to talk and have time together, but I'm not sure we were going to reveal we we mates yet!I was still looking for the best time to te
HolaIt felt good seeing my best friends with my mate getting along so well," I guess today was good for one thing!I squealed happily and they all looked at me to see if I was in pain or if something was wrong.I kept giving them my goofy smiles and they all teased me, especially my mate!He looked at my hands, and my arms and turned my head both ways trying to look for any damage., Gosh stop it already I said in mock annoyance.I'm fine now, so relax I chuckled, trying to reassure him.I feel great guys so let's get going, remember we haven't finished shopping and we haven't even picked our dresses I gasp in mock shock!Both girls looked at me in horror and we frantically tried to hurry up to leave the room but my mate was having none of it and he grabbed me back and carried me bridal style to the surprise of all, he didn't even bother as he carried me towards the car parked at the front of the hospital building.I hid my head in his chest as I was shy from all the stares we were g
HolaI stood in awe with the others as we kept looking around in admiration.This place is insane. A girl could get used to this!I followed Adrian as he led us toward the building, I assumed it was the pack house and my friends squealed in excitement as we entered the huge living room.It was breathtaking and I loved the sculptures on the walls and I think the interior decorator did a splendid job with this place.I love how the diamond-crested chandelier shone brightly, almost eye-blinding but it was so gorgeous and I wanted to stand for a moment longer to admire it.First stop, Adrian showed my friends to their rooms and I had to cover my poor ears due to Rain's loud shrieks.I smiled at her childish behavior and I quickly bade her and Fantasia goodbye and blew kisses as I followed Adrian outside to a separate wing.It was so gorgeous on every floor we passed, gosh I could live here forever I thought dreamily!!I follow Adrian into my room, and I'm shocked yet again. This room is
ArcherThe meeting lasted for about an hour and I was inattentive for the all time I spent there, I wanted to leave immediately to go meet my mate.I still remember how she felt against my hot body as I held her captive in my arms, she was trembling and I didn't know if it was from the cold or it was just me!Her lips were soft and I wanted to own them all night but I had to control my wolf, he badly wanted to mate with her but I was not going to let anything ruin our relationship.I promised to wait until she was ready for the mate bond, I was anxious to see my mark on her beautiful neck.I could not wait to hold her again butI was going to have to double my efforts in not marking her, I nearly did earlier when I took her into her room.I intended to taste her delectable lips but I found myself ravishing her and I nearly claimed her there in her bed but she looked utterly satisfied with my touches and kisses, I didn't want to ruin the moment by going overboard!Fuck!! I've never bee
HolaIt was the most magical moment of my life and I did not want the night to end...When he asked for permission to kiss me " I nodded, I couldn't think of anything at that moment but I knew I needed to feel my mate's warmth and passion.Hell yes, I was going to give him my soul if he had requested for it" Okay, not literally but that man was so gorgeous oh such a gentleman.Aside from my pal Finn no man has ever prepared a meal as delicious as what my mate pulled out from his special recipe, it was super delicious and i wanted to eat every crumb off my plate and gobble it up later.I shiver as I feel my dress fall off my shoulder and I draw him nearer as I help remove his shirt, I need him closer as I pant in reckless abandon.He trailed my neck down with his tongue as he kissed and worshipped every inch of my needy body, I felt his mouth linger on my neck as my pulse became frantic. He was licking the spot where he was going to mark me and I moaned as I urged him to complete our b
ArcherMy mind races and my jaw drops when I see Hola emerge from the stairs closely followed by the guard I assigned to her. I didn't see her after we had separated to get ready for tonight but am I ever glad I didn't see her before now, I mean she's beautiful the way she is but done up like this?She was ethereal.The gown hugs her frame perfectly, with her shiny blond hair alight from the lights, making Zeus growl in pure pleasure in my head."Mate looks delicious. I hear Zeus say and I wholeheartedly agree with him." She looks so good!" I heard someone say beside me and I turned to see my mom and Adrian both looking at Hola.My mom was smiling proudly while Adrian weirdly looked at her!Must be my eyes playing tricks on me but I thought I saw his smirk lowly, what is wrong with him tonight?Is he nervous because of the large crowd or was Ryker still bothering him, talk of the devil?I saw Ryker walk into the hall dressed in a blue suit and Tux ensemble, looking rather decent and
{Hola}Planning for our ceremony has been underway for a few weeks now and needless to say, I've been intensely stressed about it. The invites, catering, the dress code, and oh my gown.The number of gowns I have tried on is completely mind-boggling. I have yet to find the one that I feel suits me for accepting my title as Luna Wire and I'm running out of time.Luna queen.I still could not get over the shock when the werewolf community decided to have a king to overlook the affairs of the entire wolf species irrespective of their packs.It was a huge responsibility and I knew my mate could handle it, he was born for it and he has worked hard over the years to get to this point.He deserves the world!I brought my friends with me to the dress shop that Archer's mom recommended, and I felt the nerves creeping up as I glanced around the racks feeling anxious that I still wouldn't find what I was looking for.My eyes scan the dresses, looking for that one color I know I want.I wanted a
{Hola}You're going to wish you did,cause you're go to die by my hands, Adrian.I promise.I raise my head weakly as I feel blood caked on my face and neck.I received beatings from Adrian and Ryker whenever they were having a bad day and my body is already used to the torture.I manage to restructure my nose after hearing it crack, I felt so much pain as my wolf was not present to heal me.I'd hate for archer go see me now.I can feel the strain on our bond and I wish I could reach out to him and let him know my whereabouts, but without Sabrina and the ability to mind link it's useless.I seat with my back against the wall trying to relax my mind,but it's impossible.I hear the familiar door close and I sit up in caution as Adrian walks in.He wasn't alone, he stood with Celeste who smirked at me and came closer to taunt me.I hesitate but I asks anyways, why do you hate me so much? I did nothing to you." You did everything when you came into the pack", she yelled like a crazed pers
Archer{ Continuation}" I'm sorry baby. I lost control there for a moment." It's fine, I think the bath isn't helping anymore, I'm feeling hot again ." She places her head in her palm.I stand up to help her out of the bath her legs shaking as of I'd already fucked her.I groan as I think of all the wicked things I wanted to do with her, I lift her and she wraps her small hands around my neck as she whispers" Archer I need you, please." She grasps me tightly pulling me desperately as I wrap my arms around her naked body, feeling every inch of her softness against me." Let's try applying the soothing balm on your body, I got these from the healer. " She nods and I quickly grab the tube and put some of the paste on my palm as I walk over to my mate putting it all over her body.I made sure she was lying down as I applied it as I wanted every inch of her lithe body to be covered properly." This feels nice," I hear her moan softly as she reacts to my hands on her skin rubbing the sal
HolaBeep! Beep!I could hear a continuous sound and I groaned internally from all the noise.Hola. You're stronger than this open your eyes.WAKE UP!My heart races rapidly, my eyes shoot open and I exhale deeply.I go to sit up quickly and I wince in pain and groan." Take it easy dear", I hear a soft voice with a kind tone, and I watch as the woman approaches me and places her hands on my head and ribs lightly.I was feeling sore all over my body and I wince as she touched my stomach, her brown eyes looking over me intently.I'm Tammy, hola. I've been watching over you and caring for you." Where am I? I say, my voice is raspy and my lips dry. As if she senses my discomfort, Tammy hands me a cup of water with a small straw and I take a small sip, the cold water makes me feel better almost immediately." You're in the pack, right now you're in the special room your mate prepared for you", my eyes widen.How did I get here?I try to remember what happened and it all comes flooding ba
ArcherMy heart felt battered and bruised looking at my mate in so much pain, she looked pale and ghostly as her small frame laid on the bed in the infirmary.Hola hasn't woken up. It's been one week since her attack and she's still unconscious.Tammy had said she is healing at an accelerated rate now thanks to my blood transfusions.So far it hasn't been positive as the other doctors could not explain why she was not waking up." Please do not give up on us, I love you soon much goddess and it will kill me to lose you", I kept thinking about my mate.I've gone to visit her every chance I've gotten. Finn and the girls haven't left her side and they said they would let me know if anything changed.I wanted to be by her side this entire time, but I've had to keep my duties and run my pack.Gamma Jackson is closer to his target and in a day or two we'll be able to apprehend the men who attacked my mate.I did not tell anyone about my progress with the investigation as I could not trust a
ArcherI feel like I have made so much progress, she's closer to me and affectionate, and I am to her.The excitement I felt when Hola agreed to come on the retreat was hard to contain, to say the least.It was getting better and even our biggest secret of her being my mate has been revealed, for reasons unknown her parents handled it a little better than we expected.I was thankful for that at least.I planned to take our relationship further and I planned to tell her sooner than later, but honestly, something is holding me back.I'm not sure if it's the potential of her feeling pressured or still slightly hurt by my past rejection, I just knew I was nervous and I wanted to take responsibility for my actions.For most of my life, I've always had the fear of having a mate, plainly because I wanted to protect her from danger as I had numerous enemies and I didn't think I needed a mate at that time too.I always thought I would be alone, but that's not the case and to be honest, it's ta
Hola. {Present day}Finn looked around for Hola since it had been well over two hours since he last saw her.I walked up to the guards outside the building and asked if they saw her." No," she walked off an hour ago and did not return, replied the shorter one of the two.I was getting worried as I walked up to Adrian and yelled in his ears, "Have you seen Hola? She left hours ago and I thought by now she should be back, none of us inside had seen her.He shakes his head and leans into my ears, let's go see if we can find her. I nod my head and we start going towards the beach side, looking around.I was getting worried as I didn't do a good job of looking after her, she was a bit tipsy when she left us inside and I hope she's not knocked out someone right now. I shudder at the possibility of her being at the mercy of some drunks.The scent of blood hits me and my eyes go wide...Do you smell that? I say as I look at Adrian in alarm.He nods, his eyes suddenly alert and clear of all
HolaI looked over the window as we boarded the private jet and I was giddy with excitement.I gasp as the island comes into view from the window of the jet and I hear Archer chuckle lightly." Does your family own this? I ask and he nods. Yeah, it used to be our vacationing spot but when my dad passed away I stopped coming here.I decided to turn here into a retreat after the mating ball each year.I did not want the beauty and calmness of the island to be lost.There's a full town here with locals that have lived here most of their lives, but also staff that my great grandparents hired to maintain the mansion grounds.This place has been in existence for generations and most of the locals here are family." Wow, there's another mansion here?"He nods as he makes his way over to me, leaning over me in my seat and pointing out the window. His body is dangerously close to mine, it's at the top most of the southern part of the island but up away from the main town Edin Manor.I gaze out
Hola" Wolfsbane?" Adrain asks quietly, and Archer nods.Finn, rain, and Fantasia have now joined Archer and me back in his wing in the main living area.My mate keeps pacing back and forth in the open space between the big couch and fireplace.Fantasia is sitting beside me on the couch and Finn and Rain are opposite of us on the other couch. Archer had mind-linked Jackson a while ago to know about the strange waiter who handed me the bottled water.The anxiety and concern filling the room are so thick and uncomfortable but soon the silence is broken..."Someone did this," Finn states plainly and I sigh." You think Celeste did it," I say.And Finn nods briefly before going into his reasoning.Hola, she's been going after you since you met Alpha Archer and she's jealous of you being his mate.I wouldn't put it past her to try to hurt you as a sort of sick punishment for taking Archer away from her." I never had in the first place," growled at her angrily and I held his hands to calm
