Archer's POV The scorching sun had gone down when I was done with training. I released a groan as I stretched my back. The cracking sounds from my bones were relaxing. I put on my joggers before heading into the pack house. Sweat ran down my chest, staining my trousers a darker shade. I flexed when I noticed some young maids staring. Squeels ran out in the hall and I chuckled to myself. "Beta Archer," I turned, paying attention to the guard that had appeared beside me. "Alpha Farrell requests your presence at this moment." I nodded with a frown. I wasn't in a mood to talk with my brother. I was too tired to listen to him. "Tell him I'm on my way." The guard nodded with a bow before hurrying off. I released a sigh and headed to my room. I made for a warm shower that effectively worked to calm my strained muscles. A smile made it to my lips at the thought of Casey. I felt I was getting somewhere with her... maybe. At least whenever I thought of her now I thought of her as a m
Archer's POV I avoided Alpha Farrell's office as I made my way to my room. I was in a hurry but I wasn't late. I'd rather disobey my alpha than be late. I kicked the door to my room open as I busied my hands with taking off my sweat soaked shirt. A smile lit up my face as I hurried to get off my pants. I threw the dirty clothes in a bin, reminding myself to call for laundry before she got here. I hurried into my bathroom and hopped under the shower. The warm water as usual caused my tensed muscles to relax. Goddess, I was just as giddy as I felt the first time Star came over. Two days later, I was still nervous. I wanted to look presentable. I didn't want her coming in while I stank. That would only leave a bad impression on her and that was something I was
Star's POV My eyes blink open and I can see the day is already getting bright as tiny sun rays bath the room in warmth. I smile at the odd positivity blooming within me. For some reason I felt today was going to be a good day. I picked out a dress knowing I couldn't be late to work today or any other day. Lateness would only result in more work and less time to complete the work. I took a quick shower and pulled my hair into a bun after drying it as much as a towel would allow. I pulled in my dress and proceed to dress my bed. A smile warmed my cheeks when I remembered the book I had read to the beta yesterday. I hadn't expected it to be so descriptive and raw but I didn't want to show my discomfort while reading it to him.
Archer's POV Raphael stands within the circle made by over fifty guards. He raises his hand as he addresses the Gammas and a few standing Omegas. "Today we will be taking another pack under our arms. They have agreed to a fair war but we all know we have the victory already. The wolves will be at the border at dawn and when you hear the loud horn we move and take down what is ours." The head warrior glances at his men, his eyes fierce with wrath. I nod for him to continue and he does. "We will cross into their borders once we see an edge and those who have been assigned to prevent them from crossing into the pack must stand at alert. You are the ones keeping our families safe." Raphael nods to himself, seeing the firm approval on everyone's face.
Alpha Farrell's POV The pen in my hand slowly danced around as I tossed it between my fingers, my mind intoxicated with unwanted thoughts. I had heard things, things that I didn't want to believe but I couldn't help thinking about. Star and my brother? No, there was no way Archer would do that. I had a feeling it was mere rumor. I needed to believe it was mere rumor. Anything more than that meant there was truth to what the maids had been gossiping about when I passed by. No on thought I'd be in the palace on a raid night so they had been loud enough for me to hear everything. Star was having an affair with my brother. I would have laughed at the notion but I couldn't bring myself to take it so lightly.
Casey's POV I exited the slave house to meet with the maid overseer who had sent for me. I knew within me why she was calling. It couldn't be anything other than to ask the reason for my absence. If I wasn't sneaking out, I would have told her where I was heading before leaving. It was mandatory as she deserved to know the whereabouts of everyone under her control. I wasn't surprised when I found out after meeting her that I was right with my guess. "Casey," The maid overseer dispersed two men talking with her as she turned her full attention to me. "I called for you about fifteen minutes ago." The slight frown on her face exposed her displeasure. "Forgive me, I was rounding up my watering potion on the field." The sincerity in my voice made her relent and move on to the reason she had called for me. I couldn't be happier that I was done with that unfavorable job. Over the last few days I had sustained sun burns from working under the harsh afternoon sun. Today I finished qui
Star's POV My fingers were wrinkled as that of an old woman. I sighed loudly as I picked up the last plate assigned to me for washing. My reaction to near-freedom caused Dan who was standing beside me to laugh. "Tell me you don't feel the same Dan." I raised a brow at him as he cocked his head. "I do. We have been here for hours. My skin is already itching from so much water." Dan was the one assigned to rinsing and his fingers looked just as wrinkled as mine. I slowly lifted my hands from the foamy water and placed them under the tap, making Dan frown at my intrusion. I Ignored him and properly rinsed my hands. Dan rinsed off once he was done and we walked out of the dishwashing room together, giving space for those working the next shift to move in. "Do you have any idea why Casey wasn't assigned duty with you?" Dan questioned, his eyes curious. I knew Casey was summoned by the maid overseer but I wasn't going to say anything to Dan. Dan was my friend but I knew his weaknes
Casey's POVI could feel my back strain as I lifted up a log of wood from the portion assigned to me. My shoulders tensed up to accommodate the pressure on them. With a groan I pulled it big wood along and stacked it up on the pile I had already made. I leaned down with my hands on my knees as I tried to catch my breath. My whole body grunted in tiredness but I had to keep up the work. I couldn't help but work like the slave alpha Farrell had made me. I turned back around and made my way under the rising sun to pick up the last two. By the time I was done, my chest was burning with pain. I felt like crying but I was tired of crying and working seemed to take away the depressing thoughts in my head but now I was done with my sole duty. The next job I had will have to be done when the day is bright. I tiredly made my way back to my room. The hallways were darker than usual due to the poor lighting enabled at night. I needed to rest before everyone woke up. I sneezed as I placed my h
"Hello, dearest brother, nice to see you again," Archer smirked as he stepped out of the darkness, and Farell watched his only brother with mixed feelings. He had no idea whether to still hate him for everything he had done to them or hold him close because he was worried about him. Instead, he returned his smirk with a more sinister one. "Five years is not as long as it used to be anymore. I see hell has been great on you." He fired back and both stared at each other without exchanging further words. Alpha Farell had no idea how to react to this news; his brother was back this time, as one of his worst enemies, The Devil Alpha of the Northern Realm. BOOK 2: Claimed by the Devil Alpha.BOOK II OF THE CLAIMED SERIES“Come here, little slave,” he snickered, and Lila bit back a sob before she found herself crawling back towards him. He owns me now, and I am the property of the devil lycan. ____People make mistakes, but some are deadlier than the rest. Five years ago, Alpha Archer tu

Come and sit in the car, I've got food packed for you."" Mmm, I nodded and walked into the car to eat."Cravings and hunger were the largest difficulty in giving birth to children for the Alpha, my mother had faced the same thing and I'd seen so many instances of that.Mine was very much over the top and got me worried about my intense cravings and mood swings.The food was all eaten in a few minutes, a bottle of uncapped eater was handed to me by Farrell."

Alpha Farrell POVA small muffled smile came from my mouth." Come lay down, your legs must be sore, I'll massage it, and then you sleep."" Mm okay," she said and laid on her back.I held her long, slim legs in my arms as I massaged her tendons.A little while later, Star was already sleeping peacefully.I continued for a while before kissing her forehead and then got out of bed.A maid stood by the kitchen door and there were two more inside the kitchen."You can go for today, you're dismissed."" But my Lord, how about my lady's meals." The maid asked hesitantly to leave." I'll take care of her meals, you can go."" Yes my Lord," all three of them said and walked out of the room.I walked to the kitchen and took a basket of oranges to make juice.Half an hour later, a knock on the door made me walk out of the kitchen.I opened the door to meet Harriet by the door." I've done as you asked Alpha Farrell, Harriet said to me."" I nodded and walked to the bay of the room, a newly dug
Alpha Farrell's POVStar smiled mildly and went back to eating her meal.I stared at her face and felt an indescribable feeling of homeliness and love for her.I knew what I had to do, I had to mark her, to make her become mime forever and ever.But before I marked Star as mine I had to first settle Archer, I had to serve him the punishment he deserved.I walked out of the room and called Harriet." Good morning Alpha Farrell, Harriet's voice came through from the other end of the phone."" Good morning Harriet, I want to be at the pack house as soon as you can make it." Alright Alpha Farrell, " Harriet said with a rather giggling tone." What's wrong with you Harriet, I asked."" Nothing Alpha Farrell, I'm just imagining the helpless look on your face when my lady pregnancy hormones rise to the top."" Are you making fun of me right now, Harriet."" No I would never make fun of you my Lord, I'm Just imagining things."Right, the star's yelled out my name." Farrrrreellllllll, she sc
Alpha Farrell's POVStar woke back up an hour later.She laid in the bed while I left to go call a doctor over." She's awake doctor, please come check on her doctor, my wife is awake."" Alright Alpha Farrell, I'll join you shortly."I walked back out of the doctor's office and took a bottle of water from the dispensary on my way back to the ward.Star's looked up at me as soon as she heard the door opening.She stretched her hands towards the bottle of water in my hand."I'll uncap it for you," I said and handed her the opened bottle of water.She took the bottle from my hand and drank it all in one gulp." Easy, easy, Star, you'll get yourself injured like that."" I'm hungry, Farrell, I feel like eating chicken nuggets and a heart shaped dessert."" You just had surgery and the doctor will be here to check on you, we'll see if you're able to eat all these foods you just mentioned."The doctor walked in right then." Good day my Lady, he greeted."Star answered him with a slight no
Archer's POVI noticed that Farrell was engulfed in a fight with Alpha Ryan and saw that it was my chance to get rid of him once and for all.I held the bow in my hand and positioned the arrow in the middle.I retracted the arrow and shot it in his direction." Farrell," I heard a familiar voice scream out loud, it was star's, her body was running towards Farrell and she pushed him out of the way to take the arrow." Starrrrrr," Farrell and I screamed out in shock.No this couldn't happen, nothing could happen to Star, I threw down the bow in my hands to the ground.Star's body fell on the floor and Farrell's demeanor changed in an instant.I saw him from where I was flip over Alpha Farrell and cut down his head in one move with move.I could Guess what was to become of me.And once again I lost to Farrell, this would be my last fight.My last moment and the imagination of what Farrell would do to me played through my eyes.Star, I Made a small call to her Her body had fallen on the
Alpha Farrell's POVI changed into my wolf form and ran outside the pack to the war front.The battle was bloody, it had never happened before.Somehow, the fighters from the nightingale pack were being hit right at their weak points and no one except the people in the pack knew the pack's weakness.There were so many attackers from the other side and I was constantly worried about Star.Even though I had left several bodyguards by the door, I still was restless.What If the same incident happened Again, there was no doubt about what disastrous things would happen to me.An arrow swooshed past my body meters away from me and I dodged in an instant.I went back to fighting the attackers and brought anyone that came my way down.Another bullet flew right above my head.I took a look at the person who shot the gun and leaped at him.Archer was in the battleground too, I felt relieved seeing him there, fighting with me and not Against me, it was good that we were able to settle our differ
Alpha Farrell's POVI carried Star back to the car and sat her down in the front seat before igniting the car to drive back home." I'm going back to eat my food leftovers, " Star said as soon as she walked inside the room.I felt an inexplicable feeling when Star behaved like that, like a cute little wife who was waiting to be pampered, but still, so many things had still been left undone, although we slept together, ate together, and did almost everything together, she was only my mate and not my wife.I was yet to put the rings in her hands and lawfully call her my wife.I knew what I had to do.I walked into the room where Star had walked to and saw her eating the food she had left over before we went to the pack.I stood still for a moment and wondered why Star enjoyed the haunted house.She was really unpredictable." I'll be right back Star, I've work to attend to," I said to Star as I walked in front of her." Mmm, okay, when are you going to be back."" I don't know how long
Alpha Farrell's POVI sat her down in the shower and took a sponge to scrub her body.Her body shone under the bright light of the chandelier.Blood rushed to a certain part of my body but now wasn't the right time.She needed to sleep and rest adequately.I washed her body and carried her back to the bedroom.I dropped her down on the bed and walked into the cloakroom to pick pajamas for her to wear.My stomach made a small noise and I knew what caused it.I'd have to go to the kitchen to make another meal lest I starve to sleep tonight.Star slept soundly as soon as she was comfortable on the bed while I slid off the bed to the kitchen.I stood in the kitchen for a while making a meal as quietly as I could.I didn't want to wake Star up from her sleep.30 minutes later, I sat down in the kitchen and ate the food silently before going back to the bedroom I drifted asleep immediately.
