My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifty-Seven.“She’s having a mental breakdown?” The voice I heard was not familiar and sounded like he smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. When no one spoke his raspy voice hummed.“They won’t tell you the truth. She’s family, they don’t want her locked up. But yeah I believe she’s having a breakdown,” I knew that voice. It was Mattie’s. How could he do this to me?I still can’t speak. I can’t even lift my arms or try to defend myself. I’m a helpless sitting duck.“I wouldn't say she’s having a mental breakdown. She just can’t seem to get out of the grieving process. It’s been years since he died,” Clara said.“Ah, I see. It’s not that she can’t get out of the grieving process. It’s that she has yet to grieve, she probably hasn’t let it sink in that he was gone. We can start her on some depression medication and I would suggest seeing a psychiatrist. This will be a long and painful process for her.” “Thanks Doctor,” It was Dwayne who spoke this time.“Th
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifty-Eight.It’s been three weeks since Dwayne gave me Archer's ring. Three weeks I’ve thought about nothing but Archer's death. I’m not sure why Archer felt the need to ask me to marry him. I never once mentioned marriage. I was just happy that he loved me.Mattie saw Archers ring the night Dwayne gave it to me. He asked me where I got it and I told him Dwayne gave it to me he only nodded his head, never said anything further. I asked Mattie why he wanted to marry me when he cheats every chance he gets it. His answer? Oh you’ll love this one.“I’m marrying you because I love you. But what you don’t give me they do, so it’s a win win for the both us,” I just rolled my eyes at him. For as long as we’ve been together I haven’t once slept with him. I don’t plan to either.With only a week to the wedding I’ve been spending time with Avery. He seems happy that Mattie will be in his life and he will have someone to look up to.Avery doesn’t know about Mattie’s c
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifty-Nine.I stood from the couch and walked to the kitchen and grabbed a glass and held it under the faucet. I gulped the water down, my throat was so dry.I heard the front door open and close and I sighed.“I’m in the kitchen Mattie,” I said loud enough he would hear me but wouldn’t wake Avery. I rinsed out the glass and sat back on the drainer.“Who’s Mattie?”I froze. I closed my eyes tightly and shook my head.No. It’s not him, don't let your mind play tricks on you. If you keep this up you're going straight to the psych ward.His finger wrapped around my hips and he squeezed. His hot breath tickled my ear.“Answer the fucking Question Lily. Who the fuck is Mattie?” Archer asked again.I shook my head.“This isn’t real. You’re dead.” I said aloud, it was more for myself than him.Archer flips me around but my eyes stay closed to be afraid of what I’d see if I opened them.“What?” He said.Tears had already begun to run down my cheeks. I know this isn’
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Sixty.As I stand in front of the full length mirror in my old room in the palace. The plain white mermaid cut wedding dress fits my body like a glove. This dress suited me better than the ones in my dream when I was Marrying Mattie. The dress may be plain with just lace but it’s beautiful. Archer has never asked me to change who I am. He doesn’t demand I wear makeup to make me look more attractive or tells me not to eat so much because I’m getting too fat. Archer loves me for who and what I am.Lily Monroe.I’m far from perfect but who’s perfect these days anyway? I helped Clara plan the wedding with Archer. We've spent the last six months doing nothing but wedding things. My hair is curled and falls down my back. Archer doesn’t care about my hair, he cares about what makes me happy. Clara applied a thin layer of eye shadow and mascara and a touch of red for my lips. I don’t like makeup but I made an exception for today. Clara and I decided to go with a w
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Sixty-One.Four Years Later…..“I’m so glad we’re finally having lunch with just the two of us. It’s been a while since we’ve had a girls day out,”ound i Clara said, taking a sip of wine. She’s right. It’s been a while since we’ve had a day for us. With being wives and mothers finding the time to be just us is hard. But I’m glad we found the time.“Me too.” I told her and as my eyes glanced around the room they landed on a familiar face, one I’ve seen from the dream where Archer died. I didn’t think much of it at first but now…it couldn’t be a coincidence could it?“Hold on. I’ll be right back,” I told Clara. She nodded and started looking through the menu. I walked over and stood at the table where the woman sat alone eating her meal. She was just as beautiful as the last time I saw her.Flash back from the dream.“Clara. You can’t be serious? I told you I wasn’t ready to start dating so soon,” Clara shrugs her shoulders. “Too, Late. Your date with Matthew
Epilogue Five-Years Later……“Lily, don’t forget Whitney is going with Sierra and I to the movies. Avery refuses to go,” Archer tells me.“He’s a teenager with mood swings,” I smile at him.Avery has changed a lot over the years, the things he used to love to do he hates now and he refuses to go anywhere with us as a family unless we force him to go. Since Sierra has Whitney going with her today I won’t make Avery go. “I know. We could have hung out while the girls played games before the movie,” Archer shrugged. Dwayne and Clara took a two day trip to the beach for their wedding anniversary. Archer and I are minding after Whitney.Clara hated to leave Whitney behind but like I told her she needs time to be with her husband and not have the baby around. Archer and I took a couple of days to ourselves last month. It was so nice and we enjoyed the little bed and breakfast.“I can try talking to him,” I tell him, turning to head up the stairs.Archer grabs my arm and pulls me back sh
My Lycan PrinceEpilogue two. Ten Years Later…Avery Cole.Coming back to the island was something I told myself I’d never do. Not after Grandpa Dwayne and My father wanted me to go into their business. I didn’t want to make a name for myself and that’s exactly what I did.I had my name legally changed to Avery Cole instead of Martago. That last name carries with it a power that I wanted to possess but I wanted to gain that power on my own with my own name.I left the island at eighteen and went to college in California. I haven’t left the state since. After I finished business school I got my first job and from there I went on to create my own company Cole Enterprise. It only took me six years to do it. Both my parents were proud of me for what I have accomplished but I still dreaded coming back to the island. But my sister Sierra is getting married to some high school sweetheart and begged me to come. There’s a reason I left the island. It wasn’t because of the family business.
Josephine When Kurt and I started our lives in a small town in Washington I thought this would be our forever home, our happy place.The town was small and quiet and Kurt managed to get a job working at a factory the next town over. After a few months passed our next journey had begun and we were expecting our first baby.It was the happiest time of my life. What I didn't know was that the town was owned and run by creatures that shapeshift into wolves.Who knew they even existed? Are all the dangerous predators real?I thought this town would be our happy place forever. A place where Kurt and I would grow old together but I was wrong, oh so wrong.A man dressed in a fancy suit showed up at our house one day. Kurt must have known the man because he bowed upon seeing him. The tall man entered the house, his brown hair was combed back nicely and his thick body barely looked like it got in that skin tight suit.“Riley,” Kurt greets.The man nods once.His eyes land on me and then trave
