Archard's PerspectiveThere is a gazebo in the back of my garden shaded by Virginia creeper, climbing roses, and a white pine where I sit early in the morning and watch the action. Light blue bells of a dwarf campanula drift over the rock garden just before my eyes. Behind it, a three-foot stand of aconite is flowering now, each dark blue cowl-like corolla bowed for worship or intrigue: thus its common name, monkshood. Next to the aconite, black madonna lilies with their seductive Easter scent are just coming into bloom. At the back of the garden, a hollow log, used in its glory days for a base to split kindling, now spills white cascade petunias and lobelia.I can't get enough of watching the bees and trying to imagine how they experience the abundance of, say, a blue campanula blossom, the dizzy light pulsing, every fiber of being immersed in the flower. ...It was so quiet outside, so quiet that I can hear my own blood flowing through my veins which wasn't good sign for anyone... A
We made our way inside the basement from the back of the house and as we walked down the basement floor. I heard another scream, Cleo was behind me and I walked into a bloody mess. When the man first comes into view I don't recognize him, he's too far away and his gait is all wrong. He walks like a scarecrow more than a man and all lop-sided at that. As he nears Cleo's heart falls right through to his sneakers, he's more purple than brown. His left eye is swollen, he can't be seeing a thing out of that and he won't for a while yet. His face still bears congealed blood and his clothes are an utter mess. Then he tries to say my name, his cracked lips failing at the first syllable, but he doesn't need to, I didn't ask him." Who is he? Archard why are you doing this? You have got us in trouble." Cleo looked terrified.My two men dragged him down on the floor. He was half conscious. They left him in front of me. Jarrod came closer to me and said, " Sir, we have asked him about the girl b
As I was thinking about it, I remembered that maybe I lost my mobile phone that night. And I am so much regretting now going there and meeting with that dick head. Ugh, I hate every moment of it. The way he was looking at me with those wild eyes and the way he was touching me aggressively. I hate everything he ruined everything for me, everything if he won't taken me as a prisoner this won't have happened. Father, will never send me here. We were never falling apart. I cried until I could cry no more. I could not have said just why I cried, but I cried because I knew, in some deep part of him where the knowledge would remain till I was dead, that the world was a more horrible place than I could imagine. It would turn the people I loved and trusted into monsters; it would reveal those meant to help me as mad dogs. I wept for myself, and I wept because I knew there would never really be anyone else to weep for me.After two hours, of me cussing him and doing nothing. I decided that I n
Making my way to the ground floor. I find no one there. I wonder where Emily went?I looked around and it was an open-floor living room. The evening slowly ambered and the sun got cold yet fervent. There was emptiness without any sign of human activity. The room was filled with sun rays relaxing on the sofas, mashing and peeking through the glass window. Everything was depicting thethe absence of life yet illuminated by the warmth.I've moved into the narrow hallway where went earlier. My eyes were fixed on a red door at the end of the hallway. I was so slowly moving towards it and thought, maybe it's aunt's office or library or something. If I can be lucky enough I can find a phone in there to call Caden.Once, I reached closer to the door and outstretched my hand to open the door." If I was you, I shouldn't be opening that door." Someone said from behind me and I jerked back and spun around to see who says that.I find a guy, standing at the end of the hallway. He was wearing a su
The Next thing, I know I was standing in the middle of a small bakery two blocks away from my aunt's house and I wonder why we came.I turned around to see the bakers looked like a boy band on a vacation. They acted like it too, laughing, joking, and singing as they made the bread and delicacies for the day. Their white uniforms masked any flour that dusted on them and only their hands had that obvious covering of dust. When the baking was mostly done a couple of them would open the doors, letting the aroma of the baking waft out to the street and the customers flood in.We finally reached the register where an old man was taking money from the customer." Mr, Wards, how are you doing today?" Emily asked him but he didn't even twitch or moved a single muscle on his face he just opened the small gate next to his counter to let us in." Come on, Aisling I'll show you around," Emily said and brought me to the back kitchen of the bakery." Wait, wait who are the people outside? are they h
And what if someone finds this place?"" It never gonna happen because only the pack members are allowed to come here."" What about humans?" I ask her." Like, I said only pack members are allowed here. Come with me I'll show you something." Emily told me and shoved her arm around me and we made our way back into the actual bakery but this time there was no one, not the old man nor the laughing bakers.I believed now, they have real power but why? Father sent me here. I don't have anything special nor I can learn anything.I don't understand the reason why?Emily and I walked out of the double door of the bakery and Emily pointed to a billboard in front of the bakery that reads, " No humans are allowed."I rolled my eyes and asked her, " Who's brilliant idea was that?"" Benny and Jasper suggested this. Isn't brilliant," she said with a huge smile on her face." I think, it's so a dumb idea to write in big bold letters that humans aren't allowed. This will catch everyone's attention
spin on my heel, thinking like hell I need to get out of here as soon as possible before anything happens and I find myself in trouble.As I was being to move, Emily stopped me from leaving by telling me that I shouldn't be leaving because my aunt will come any second." Don't worry about me, I will talk to an aunt on my own and you know I am feeling tired I need some sleep and I was just asking for your phone, mine got lost somewhere. I need to call my brother Caden."" We don't have phones and only ma'am has a phone in her office back in the house secondly, we aren't allowed to go there."" Why you aren't allowed to go there?"" Aisling there are some rules that we are bound to follow."I look unfazed because, for my whole life, I was following the rules made by my father. I can understand their situation and I don't want to get them in any trouble because of me. I guess we don't have much difference.I remain quiet and thought, I need to find a way to talk to Caden. He would be wor
cried and cried because I couldn't do anything besides cry. Oh God just looks at me now... one night opens words and utters pain... I cannot begin to explain to you... this... I am not here. This is not happening. Oh wait, it is, isn't it?I am a ghost. I am not here, not really. You see skin and cuts and frailty...these are symptoms, you know, of a ghost. An unclear image with unclear thoughts whispering vague things...If I told you what was really in my head, you'd never let me leave this place. And I have no desire to spend time in hell while I'm still, in theory, alive.I just wanted to go home to azelaic. He will never leave me and protect me from everything, every danger of this distraught place. Where are you azelaic? please, come back to me and I will never let you go away from me. Tears began streaming down from my eyes and there was immense pain in my chest I don't know how I gonna go back home. The Tears brought me no relief.I looked up at the sky. The sky was tar-black
heard a knock on the door and saw a nurse enter the room. She smiled and said that she was here to help me get ready to leave the hospital. She said that I had recovered well from my injury, and that I could go home today. She said that she just needed to do some final checks and paperwork, and then I would be free to go.She asked me if I had anyone waiting for me outside, and if I needed any assistance. I nodded and said that I had someone waiting for me, someone very special. I said that I didn't need any assistance, but that I would appreciate some privacy. She said that she understood, and that she would be back in a few minutes.She left the room, closing the door behind her. I got up from the bed and walked towards the window, feeling a rush of excitement and nervousness. I looked outside and saw Archard standing by his car, looking at his phone. He looked handsome and charming, as always. He wore a blue shirt and jeans, and a leather jacket. He had a smile on his face, but als
Finally I'm here in front of all members. I was searching for archard that where is he? I am sure he is late? I don't known what should I do with him. He is such an irresponsible men.I was holding the speech letter and thought that may be I'm he is late? but on this important occasion ? how is it possible? I scanned the faces of the members of the Alpha Union council, hoping to catch a glimpse of Archard. He was supposed to be here, representing his family and their interests. But he was nowhere to be seen. Neither were his parents, Miss Smith and Mr. Smith. They had always been punctual and reliable, so their absence was alarming. Where were they? Why were they not here? Had something happened to them?I felt a surge of anxiety and concern, mixed with a hint of frustration. Archard was my friend, and I cared about him. But he was also my ally, and I needed him. We had a plan to propose a new policy that would benefit our district, and we had to act fast before the council voted on t
I am waiting for you archard. I was thinking that may be I should have to understand it. I don't have enough energy for myself. I hear him coming back, and I pretend to sleep. I close my eyes, and I slow down my breathing. I stay still, and I wait.He opens the door, and he walks into my room. He looks at me, and he smiles. He says:"Hey, sleeping beauty. You look so peaceful. You look so innocent. You look so mine."He walks to my bed, and he sits on the edge. He reaches out his hand, and he strokes my hair. He says:"I'm sorry I left you alone. I had some business to take care of. Some unexpected guests. But don't worry, it's all under control. It's all taken care of."He leans in, and he kisses my cheek. He says:"I'll be back soon. I'll be back for you. I'll be back to make love to you."He stands up, and he walks to the door. He says:"Sleep well, my love. Sleep well, my mate."He closes the door, and he locks it from outside.He leaves me alone.I open my eyes, and I feel a shi
You don't have to worry about Aisling " " I'm not worry but I can't waste a single minute to meet her again. I don't know what happened to here and where is she? "" she is save and secure with azalaic. He is taking care of her personally. I known you are worry about her but azalaic love her too and he will never hurt her. "" You think she is fine? "" Ofcourse Robert told me that she is fine but she is upset because he bring her here without her permission, without her wish. "I looked to cleo and cleo Looked to me," You are right !"" okay!"Alexia lead us towards our room, she promised us that she will come with us. Cleo and me was staying in the one room. I was looking to this suspicious room.As I step into the room, I'm immediately struck by the opulence of the space. The walls are painted a rich, deep color that seems to glow in the light. A plush carpet covers the floor, muffling my footsteps and adding to the cozy atmosphere. The centerpiece of the room is a massive king-si
don't know what should I do. Cleo asked me, " Tell me what's going on there?"Hazel said, " There is nothing which is coming between our path we will definitely find her but I guess we have to go back. I think there is something which we are missing." "what do you think? we have to move to his pack village to known what is actually going on there? "" You are right! "Cleo was agreed with me. We decided to go out from here. I clenched my fists as I thought about Azalaic and his betrayal. He had taken Aisling away from me, the only person who ever understood me. She was my soulmate, my partner, my everything. We had met when we were both young and lonely, wandering the streets of the city. We had bonded over our shared love of protection and care, and our hatred of the oppressive regime that ruled over us. We had joined the resistance together, fighting for freedom and justice. We had risked our lives for each other, countless times. And then he came along.Azalaic was a wolf shift
Hazel said, " I Know it is difficult for you archard but I know you can do it."" I don't understand that what happened to her suddenly her attitude start getting changed. I don't understand what actually happened to her? "hazel replied softly," What do you mean her attitude changed? did you notice something? "" Yes last day she was suddenly disappeared in the morning and than she came back at night. I don't known what happened to her. Aisling was worry and confuse and she never told me that what happened to her. "" You mean you don't have enough information. Archard you have power's you can easily known about her. "Cleo came forward to me and said," May be she is disturb or maybe someone kidnapped her? What do you think?"" I have no idea but I think last day I spend whole day with her and she never complained about anything."" You mean there is something which is coming between you are her?"" ofcourse don't you think?"Cleo word kidnapping hit in my mind, I known there is a l
AZALAIC ( POV ) It's being a long time I don't see her which is killing me inside. Nothing is pleasing me. I am feeling the pain that I lost her. I betrayed her I was not the one who lose her. I Known we have the strongest bond but things never worked according to my expectations. I known there is only regret in my life. I am sitting in a spacious meeting room with a large glass window that overlooks the city skyline. The room is well-lit by natural light and has a modern design with white walls, wooden floors, and sleek furniture. I am at the head of a long rectangular table, facing a wall-mounted screen that displays a presentation. I have a laptop, a notebook, and a pen in front of me, and I am wearing a formal suit and tie. I feel confident and professional as I address the other participants in the meeting, who are seated on both sides of the table. They are listening attentively to my words, nodding occasionally or asking questions. I was sitting at the head of the long table
I known she have done something wrong with me. I known there is a kind of issue with her. I Known she wants to ruined my plans and I can't afford it. I have to solve it out as soon as possible. After a long argument with Aisling. She agreed with me to go for breakfast. She came with me. I walked downstairs to see that where is whole family that where they are? I took a deep breath and walked downstairs with Aisling, holding her hand tightly. I knew my family hated her, but I didn't care. I known they have to accept our relationship so than I can fully out of Valentina. I Known she is planning something big which will definitely hurt us. I have to be careful so I can tackle the situation. I have no idea about her plans, she already ruined my plans but this time she will pay for it. I will never allow her to do anything. Aisling and my fake marriage will always be hidden and I will kept this secret always in my heart.I looked towards her, She was casually dressed up in a blue denim
" What the hell you are doing? "" Nothing I'm just here to warn you?"" What do you mean you are my best friend and you are here to warn me? you already helped me a couple of minutes back."" I help you because you were crying but what you done with archard is beyond my imagination."" ohhh come on aria it us just a part of game Don't take it serious. I will just blackmail him nothing else so don't worry about him. "" Game ! are you serious it was a game for you? you are forgetting that you just make a video of him."" So what!... please aria now shit up I want to sleep you can see I'm fucking tired. "" May Alpha God give you right path .. "She went out from the room after saying bye to me. She smashed the door over my face. I could see the fury in Aria's eyes as she glared at me. She was not going to listen to anything I had to say. She grabbed her coat and stormed out of the room, slamming the door so hard that it almost hit my face. I flinched and heard the lock click. She was
