Archer.

The intoxicating but sweet smell of my supposed mate, reached my nostrils before I realized she was right there, staring at me, frozen in place.

“I-I...forgive me, Your Majesty,” she bowed her head, but before she could leave and close the door, I reached her with speed, grabbing her hand to keep her in place. To my amusement, she turned her head to the other side, and when I tried to make her look at me, she closed her eyes.

“Open your eyes, it’s not like you haven’t seen me naked before,” I told her but she didn’t listen, she kept her eyes tightly shut.

“Stop pretending you didn’t come in here to seduce me, you little vixen.”

I pulled her back into the restroom, making her stand under the pouring water. She opened her eyes immediately, meeting mine and I snapped.

I ripped the maid's clothes off her body, leaving her in nothing but her underwear and the wide-eyed innocent look that drove me to madness.

“Your Majesty!” She gasped, breaking the eye contact to look down at her d

    Ellie.I could only watch him with wide eyes when he said the words.“I want you to stay.”He wanted me to stay in the room until Victoria arrived so I’d watch them have sex, just like Vito did. A tear rolled down my right eye unconsciously, but I wiped it quickly.Perhaps this was the reason he didn’t believe anything I told him concerning Vito. It wasn’t because he thought I was lying, but because he endorsed the behavior; as though he was looking at his reflection in the mirror. More tears spilled from both my eyes, and I was not bothered to wipe it away, because I wanted him to see and know just how much his decisions were hurting me.However, it seemed His Majesty did not care for my tears as he picked me up in his arms, and laid me on his bed which I had already adorned with rose petals and whatnot for his guest, and it would only be extra work for me when he finally released me.“Your Majesty please let me go,” I cried, but he held me closer, pressing his body on mine.“I will

    Tristian.I headed out for my usual evening run with nothing but that omega maid on my mind. While I was told I had an affinity to worry and care for those weaker than me–as I used to be a weak child– I was convinced that what I felt for her was not care and worry because she was weak, but because I was attracted to her.It was an uncommon occurrence because I had met many in the same situation as her, but something about her appealed to me. Ellie was not just beautiful but highly attractive.“I hope in everything you remember that she has a mate who also happens to be your cousin, the Lycan King,” Beck, my wolf, cautioned, and I nodded.“How could I forget?”“It’s you. Not even I know what the hell you’re thinking,” Beck returned, and it brought a smile to my face.“If I went ahead with what I was thinking, I would’ve asked her to be with me, but I’m only holding back because Archer told me himself, that she was his mate,”“Yes. His Majesty trusted you with that information, so don’t

    Archer.A satisfied smile sat on my face long after Ellie left, hell, even my dick was still hard and begging for more of her, and so was Ian.“Just call her back, and do as she says, then we fuck her until dawn,” He suggested, but I refused him. I wasn’t about to make doing her bidding a thing, or it would lead to making bad decisions, and I wasn’t a King who made bad decisions.“You’re all talk, because I can bet that the moment she appears and bat an eyelash at you, you’ll have no choice but to do anything she asks.I bit my lower lip in annoyance. He was right. The reason I was able to refuse she requested that she wasn’t staring into my eyes when she asked. Her voice had little effect on me, but her eyes… now that was a different story.“Why don’t you accept her so she becomes queen at the bonding ceremony?” He asked and I blocked him out without responding. He spoke strictly about our attraction towards Ellie, not as the Alpha of the royal pack.I pushed myself out of bed and th

    Ellie.I woke up with a jolt, looking around with wide eyes and trying to figure out where I was. But with each passing second, I quickly realized where I was; Alpha Tristian’s room.A breath escaped my lips, as I pressed my hands on my forehead, memories of why I was in such a state flooding in my mind. I recalled feeling too tired to move, and the strange sensation of strong arms lifting me, but that was all.I noticed I was longer felt tired or in as much pain as I felt hours ago. Looking down at my body, I was surprised to see that all my injuries had closed up without leaving a scar.“Oh you’re up,” Alpha Tristian appeared, fully dressed in a charcoal black suit that fitted him nicely. His blond hair was slicked back, showing off his chiseled face and spectacular blue eyes. He was indeed very handsome.“I-you saved me,” I fumbled with my words, “Thank you.”“I was pleased to be of service,” he said with a smile and paused, “Although I’d like to know why you went about without eat

    Ellie.I imagined I would wake up in my warm bedroom, with my covers over my body, but when I opened my eyes, I was faced with bright lights, multiple eyes, and tension as thick as a curtain in the room.The different pairs of eyes pricked my skin, especially a distinct two—Archer’s parents. The hate in their eyes told of their distaste, and they were directed at me.I scrambled to my feet under the weight of their wicked gazes, but I missed my steps and fell on my bum. It seemed like the universe was against me because the little fall exposed the collar of my dress which I had forgotten to button properly. Gasps and murmurs filled the room instantly.“Would you look at that?”“She’s a whore!”“These maids are in did stupid sluts!”It wasn’t until I heard those words clearly that I noticed they were talking about me, and the hickeys Archer left on my neck earlier.I guess even Alpha Tristian’s healing powers couldn’t clear the hickeys.“Take her away!” Archer’s angry voice brought me

    Ellie.My heart sank instantly, feeling a hundred times heavier than when Archer announced I was not his mate before his family and maids, on the day I arrived.Quite frankly, then, I’d been so overwhelmed by everything that happened that I didn’t quite understand the weight of his words, but this time it was different. My mate was with the she-wolf that would become his queen, the she-wolf that would take the position meant for me—just like Nadine had done—while I waited on her. I’d always thought about how similar my situations with both my mates were, because of their behaviors, but now it seemed like fate.I was fated to have bad mates, mates who would rather choose someone else over me because of the status I was born with.I bowed my head immediately.“Forgive me for his misunderstanding, it would never repeat itself, Your Majesty, lord, and ladies, Alpha,” I apologized, thinking the quicker I apologized, the quicker they let me go, but Archer had other plans.“It better not!” h

    Archer.To obtain more information about Coral Pack and Alpha Black’s plans to overthrow me and take over my position, I subjected myself to endless chatter from his daughter, Victoria, who was now officially my betrothed.The she-wolf just never shut up. A far cry from my initial impression of her. She did have a graceful appearance, voice, and all of that, but she talked a lot.worst of all, in all her talking, she said nothing of the matter I desperately wanted to hear—not because she didn’t want to tell me, but because she knew nothing. Regret had flown through my body at my decision, but I decided it wasn’t all a bad idea. Black was a smart man, a smart and proud man, who would rather die than tell his daughter of his plans to commit treason. she was a woman after all.in that smartness, I suspected he knew that I had an inkling of his plans, and in deciding to marry his daughter, he made sure she knew nothing, nothing that could sabotage his plans.I was dealing with a snake, bu

    Ellie.I held a hand over my cheek, over the stinging pain, but I was angry I couldn't hold a hand over the pain in my chest that burned harsher than my cheek as I looked up at Archer from my position on the ground. The irony of it all.I did belong on the ground, at Arc—no, His Majesty's feet. I was made to look up at him, from the high position he held, while he looked down at me like he currently did.He crouched a little with a bent knee, and his arms stretched out to me as though he wanted to touch me but I instantly moved back.I couldn't let him touch me because I knew the moment he did, the moment he held me in his arms, even if he looked at me with more hatred in his eyes than he did his enemies, I would somehow melt into him, returning to the stupid Ellie who despite everything I'd been through, still decided to delude myself into thinking things would be better, he would be better. I couldn't be that Ellie anymore. My eyes had opened in the few hours I cleaned the banquet

    Ellie.I had been feeling different for weeks now. My appetite changed, my energy fluctuated, and lately, even my wolf seemed quieter than usual. I suspected the truth but hadn’t dared confirm it. Not until this morning.Standing in front of the mirror, I pressed my hand against my lower abdomen, feeling the faintest of curves. A small smile crept onto my face. There was no denying it now—I was pregnant. My heart fluttered with excitement. Archer had always wanted children, and now, the thought of telling him made my pulse race. But I knew I wanted to tell in a way that would make the moment special, so I went in search of my friends.“Julie! Gilly!” I whispered as I rushed into the room where they were chatting. Both of them turned to me with curious looks.Julie’s eyes widened, immediately sensing something was different.“Ellie, what’s going on?”“I think…” I began, but then corrected myself, “No. I know. I’m pregnant.”Gilly gasped, her hands flying to her mouth.“Oh, Ellie! This

    Ellie.Archer’s eyelids fluttered open slowly, the usual sharpness in his gaze softened by tiredness. Relief flooded through me as I smiled down at him, a warmth spreading in my chest.Without thinking, I hugged him, wrapping my arms around his neck tightly. His body was still weak, but his arms managed to slip around me, holding me close.He smirked, his voice low and slightly hoarse.“I really don’t know how I could ever live without you, Ellie,” he said, his lips curving into a half-smile, “You’ve saved my life more times than I can count.”I leaned back just enough to look into his eyes, brushing a few stray strands of hair from his forehead.“That’s only because you saved my life countless times when I was an omega,” I replied softly, my fingers still lingering on his skin.“Do you know… if you hadn’t taken me away from Crimson Pack that day, Vito would’ve killed me.”His brow furrowed, a shadow passing over his expression.“I meant what I said when I told you Vito and Nadine dru

    Ellie.Archer stepped forward, fists clenched at his sides, muscles tense.“What do you want, Seraphina?” His voice was low, brimming with barely contained rage.She laughed softly as if we were sharing a joke, “Oh, I have so many plans,” she replied, a hint of malice lacing her words, “But most importantly, I’ve discovered something extraordinary during my time, going around,” her sinister smile intensified as she gestured to the far side of the room.I followed her gaze and felt my breath hitch. There, carved into a stone, was an intricate seal that pulsed with a dark, ominous energy. It seemed to throb with a life of its own, casting a strange glow that began to illuminate the room.“Behold,” Seraphina said, her voice dripping with excitement, “the seal of forbidden magic. A power so great that it could change everything.”“What are you planning?” I asked, my heart racing. I could sense Ru’s agitation, a low growl reverberating through our bond as we moved closer, studying the seal

    Ellie.“This must be the doing of the witches,” Tristian said and I nodded.Since witches were known for experimenting with animals and even wolves, I believed it was possible.“Get ready,” Archer commanded, his voice steady and calm. His eyes flickered red, taking in every detail of the surroundings.Suddenly, the creatures appeared—animals twisted into monsters by dark magic. Their glowing eyes and grotesque forms lunged at us from the palace, snarling and snapping.Ru surged forward, and I shifted in an instant, claws tearing into the first beast that came at me. It was a tainted. I ducked as it swiped at me, saliva dripping from its mouth, I struck hard at its side, sending it skidding back. Its howl filled the early morning air, but it wasn’t done yet. It twisted back toward me, fury in its glowing eyes.Archer moved beside me like a protective rock.“Don’t let them surround us!” he shouted, his sword flashing in the sunlight as he cut down another beast, “Stay on the move!” He h

    Ellie.The dawn was just breaking, casting a soft golden light over the assembled warriors.They had come from all corners of the kingdom in their large numbers, their expressions set in serious determination.Archer stood at the front, his presence commanding as he addressed them.“We are not waiting for the witches to come to us,” Archer’s voice boomed over the crowd.The warriors stood at attention, their eyes fixed on him.“We’re going to hunt them down. We’re going to seek them out, and we’re going to exterminate every last one of them.”A murmur of approval rippled through the crowd, the tension building in the air. It had been a week since we discovered the serum worked. I’d spent three days on lockdown, recovering after giving so much of my blood for the serum. It hadn’t been easy, but now, after my rest, I felt ready. More than ready. I needed to be out there with them.Beside me, Tristian shifted his weight, his gaze focused on Archer. He hadn’t wanted to leave Gilly’s side,

    Ellie.“We found a way to make it work!”Archer and I exchanged a look, a slow smile forming on both of our faces. The tension that had been hovering over us for days seemed to lift just a little.“Show us, then,” Archer said, his voice calm but eager. He slipped his hand into mine as Julie gestured for us to follow her.We walked through the halls of the research center, the walls gleaming white under the fluorescent lights. The scent of chemicals and something distinctly metallic filled the air, making my nose twitch. My mind raced, trying to piece together how they’d done it—how they’d managed to do it.Julie led us into the main lab, where an animal—a sleek, muscular dog—stood next to a warrior wolf. The warrior looked calm, though I couldn’t help the slight edge of concern that rippled through me.“Is it safe to use a warrior for this test?” I asked, squeezing Archer’s hand a little tighter.Julie nodded, her smile not faltering for a second. “Completely safe. We’ve run simulatio

    Ellie.In the following days, leading up to a week, I had a routine.Every morning, I’d submit more blood for testing, spend hours in the lab with Julie and the others, searching for a way to make it work, then I’d head over to the training grounds for training with the warriors.And Archer worried more with each passing day. I could see it in the lines forming on his face, the way his hands would linger on my shoulders, as if grounding himself to make sure I was still alive and well, when I returned.Today was no different. I had just returned from training with the other wolves, my muscles sore, when I found Archer in our room, waiting for me. His eyes flicked to the bandage on my arm before locking with mine.“This can’t go on much longer, Ellie,” he said quietly, standing from the chair he’d been sitting in, “If Julie doesn’t come up with something concrete this time, I’m putting an end to it.”I sighed, pulling my hair out of its messy bun and running a hand through it.“Archer,

    Ellie.“Ellie, can I talk to you? Alone?” Archer asked, his voice was soft but firm.I nodded, following him out of the research lab. Julie stayed behind with the other seven wolves, their faces a mix of shock and curiosity.The door closed behind us, and the silence that settled between Archer and me felt heavier with each passing step. He wasn’t saying anything, his jaw tight, and I found myself pressing my lips together, wondering what he was thinking.We walked in silence through the halls until we finally reached our room and when the door clicked shut, and I turned to face him, the tension between us lingering like a storm about to break.“Are you angry with me?” I asked, unable to keep the question to myself any longer.Archer shook his head, but his eyes were serious as they met mine. He reached out, taking my hand, his touch soft despite the weight in his gaze.“No, I’m not angry, Ellie. I just… I need to know what your plan is.”I swallowed, my heart racing a little.“I’m wi

    Ellie.As Julie and I walked out of the royal hospital, I could feel my heart banging loudly in my chest.But just as we stepped through the entrance, we encountered Jacob, who was making his way inside. He bowed respectfully, a warm smile breaking across his face as he greeted us.“Your Highness, Lady Julie,” he said, his tone a mix of formality and friendliness.“Jacob,” I replied, returning his smile. “How are things?”“Busy, as always,” he said with a slight chuckle. “But I can’t complain because everyone is going through it.”“You’re right,” Julie nodded.“Has there been any progress on your end? about Gilly?” I asked and he shook his head.“She wasn’t poisoned, so there’s no antidote she can be given. She wasn’t cursed, so there’s no ritual we can do to lift the curse. I think we just have to let her regain consciousness herself,” He said and I sighed.“Thank you, Jacob,” I told him and with a nod, Julie and I continued on our way, leaving the hospital behind.But even as we wal
