I stood in front of Archer's apartment door for what felt like an eternity. His bike was parked outside, a clear sign he was home."Why am I even here?" I muttered to myself, hesitating before raising my hand to knock. The door suddenly flew open.I nearly shrieked at the sight of him, shirtless, with only a towel draped around his waist.He looked serious as he saw me. "Come inside," he whispered, grabbing my wrist and checking something outside before locking the door."Your mother... is she here?" I asked.He nodded. "No questions anymore, please.""O-Okay..." I coughed, glancing around his apartment. It was small but clean and neat."What changed your mind?" he asked, crossing his arms over his chest. He leaned against the door frame of his room, and I hated how hot I found him at that moment.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I stammered, "I could use your comfort. In bed, obviously."Goddess, what am I even saying?!"Look, I'm so nervous right now. Can we just get down to busine
My parents had just returned from their business trip when they saw the viral video of Damien trying to win me back. In the video, I walked out of the hallway without saying a word after Damien attempted to serenade me."Katrina, I'm confused," my mother began, her voice calm and nurturing. "I thought you and Damien were doing well. You were so in love with each other. What happened?" One of our maids pushed a cart and offered my mother tea as we sat in the living room. I could hear my father in his office, signing papers for our pack."Katrina?"I let out a deep sigh before facing my mother. "He cheated on me."I heard an audible gasp from the maids who were clearly eavesdropping. My mother stood up, grabbed my wrist, and led me to her office, locking the door behind us."What did you just say?" she demanded, her voice rising."I said Damien cheated on me," I repeated.She crossed her arms over her chest. "I will never believe that. Did you hear his side of the story?"My brows furro
Archer.I knew Katrina left home even though she didn't admit it; the duffel bag was a dead giveaway.As I held her in my arms, I felt Berk, my wolf, talking to me. It was convenient being able to speak to him without saying it out loud."Get her! I want her!" he demanded."We already got her, Berk. What more do you want?" I replied."We have to claim her! You stupid fool didn't mark her that night, did you?"I bit my lower lip, resisting the urge to punch my wolf. "Are you crazy? Of course we shouldn't! Everyone in the pack will know she's mine.""She's yours in the first place! Get her!" he went berserk."What's so special about her?" I hissed at Berk, unable to understand his obsession. "She's a hypocrite, a rich girl, and a spoiled brat!""I like her scent. It's addicting. She shouldn't be touched by any other man! I can feel many of us want to claim her, too," Berk said seriously. I heaved a deep sigh and shut off my mind towards him."We're here," I announced to Katrina, setting
"After ten severe rounds of intense combat, we have a winner by unanimous decision. Tonight, our new champion is... Archer Ellington!"As the crowd roared in approval, my hand was triumphantly lifted by the referee, the gold belt gleaming around my waist.The cheers were louder than I expected, echoing through the arena like a thunderous wave. As I stepped out of the boxing ring, my friends rushed to greet me. I hugged Professor Evan tightly, tapping his back. "Coach... I won," I whispered, tears streaming down my face."Good job, Arch. I knew you would do it!" he said, gripping my hand firmly and lifting it high. Leon started clapping and whistling, and my omega friends from the pack hoisted me up, swaying me in celebration.When my friends finally put me down, I saw Teddy announcing to the team that the celebration was on his tab. "We’re partying at my bar tonight!" he shouted. We all cheered, our voices blending into the night.At the party, the atmosphere in Teddy's club was elect
Katrina.My heart pounded so loudly I was ashamed of it. I didn't want Archer to know how much he affected me, so I pushed his chest away with all the force I could muster."You're a crazy bastard! Why would I want you?" The question was more for myself than him.Did I really want him? I was so confused. My wolf kept twirling at the sight of him. If he could see my wolf, he'd see her eyes forming big, hearty shapes.He heaved a deep sigh and looked at me seriously. The playful glint in his eyes was gone. His hands were shoved into his pockets as he watched my hysterics. "Don't be so full of yourself. I'm leaving now!" I announced, hailing a cab.As I got inside, he didn't chase after me. I cursed myself as soon as I checked my phone and saw a hundred missed calls from Daphne.It was her birthday! She was celebrating with our friends at a bar. I followed her shared location pin but ended up at Teddy's—a bar where omegas partied. It was an honest mistake because our pack had two Teddy's
The redhead girl whimpered, her voice grating on my nerves. “I didn’t want to do it! Someone sent me a task to do that. I needed the money!”“Who?” I snapped, my anger boiling over. “Who sent you?”“I don’t know!” she cried, her tears streaming down her face. She glanced at Daphne before looking at me. “They contacted me anonymously! I swear to the Moon Goddess! And then they paid me a lot of money!""Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice a whisper, trying to calm down from what she had said."I was desperate! I really needed money! Please, don't tell them or else they'll kill my family!" The girl’s incessant whining made my blood boil. Every word she spoke, every tear she shed made me want to lash out. She was pathetic, irritating, and I wanted to crush her.“Enough!” I shouted, my voice echoing in the dim light. “I don't fucking care about your excuses."She shut her eyes. "I'm not lying to you. What I said is true..." The redhead cowered, her pleas turning into rambling gabbles
Damien didn't budge, his eyes locked on me as if I'd committed a crime. Mrs. Smiths arrived in the kitchen, making us both jump."What's happening here?" she asked, her curiosity evident. Her gaze lingered suspiciously on Damien's hand gripping mine.I plastered a fake Luna smile on my face. "N-Nothing! We were just bickering, Mrs. Smiths."Damien snickered, refusing to let it go. To cover up, I laughed and pulled away from his grip, intertwining our fingers instead. "We're okay, Mrs. Smiths," I said, showing her our joined hands."Alright..." she replied, still eyeing us suspiciously."Tsk." Damien withdrew his hand and walked out of the room. I heaved a deep sigh and looked at Lily. "He had a bad morning," I shrugged.We continued the Luna lessons until summer arrived. Damien and I agreed to act as a couple in public and ignore each other in private. I had no idea what he was up to anymore, not that I cared. I became busy when my father summoned me to take a summer job at his office
Archer.The sun scorched the construction site, relentless and unforgiving. Sweat trickled down my back as I adjusted my hard hat, the rhythmic clink of tools and hum of machinery creating a cacophony around me.The bell rang, signaling our break time. I wanted to check on Katrina’s condition after what happened earlier, so I headed towards the building and climbed the stairs. As soon as I reached the hallway, a familiar figure greeted me.“Archer Ellington?” she asked, and I nodded in confirmation. “You are…” I whispered, trying to recall her name, but she broke into laughter.“Oh my gosh! You look different! You don’t remember me, your physics partner?” she asked. I bit my lower lip and shook my head. “No, I don’t,” I replied honestly.She sighed but kept smiling. “My name’s Claire! Remember that time in high school with Professor Jacobs?" Claire chuckled, her eyes dancing with amusement.I shook my head, grinning as the memory resurfaced. "You mean the solar-powered toaster fiasco?
