My Lycan Prince
Chapter five.I‘ve never in all my life seen a place so beautiful. Isla Martago is far from a small island, it's a huge island in the middle of the ocean. It's so breathtaking….the beauty of it.The breeze that comes off the water is cool and it ruffles through my hair as I hang further out the window to get a better view of the city. Buildings stand tall along with statues and a flag. It's a gold flag with a black crest in the middle along with the name Isla Martago. Archer hasn’t said a word since we got into the limousine but that goes two ways I guess and I haven’t said anything to him either but I have been kinda busy staring at this beautiful place that I get to call home.The limousine maintained a good speed as the driver whipped in and out of lanes earning some honks from cars he had cut off. The sun was setting making the ocean look like the burnt orange sky. I inhaled a deep breath closing my eyes, imprinting this picture in my mind.Wyatt would have loved this place.A tear escaped and fell down my cheek as we passed by all the buildings night had fallen but the limousine hadn’t stopped yet.“Where are we going?”“Isla palace,” Archer replied.I glance over at Archer. He hasn't looked up from his phone and I take this moment to stare at his beautiful sculpted face square jawline sharp pointed nose perfect plump lips. Archer was definitely hot.“Like what you see?”My eyes widened and cheeks heated. He caught me gawking at him….great.Ignoring him I stare back out the window but it’s too dark to see anything now and I sigh.“Sedrick can take you on a tour of the city if you’d like,” Archer says as he places his phone inside his jacket pocket.I turn to face this beautiful creature and my brows furrow.“Why can’t you take me?”“I’m afraid I have meetings and paperwork to attend while my father is away,” He replied.I nod.“I can get Wade and Jenny to show me around,”“I’ll still have to send a palace guard to make sure your protected,”“Archer, I'm not royalty, why do I need a bodyguard?”His eyes changed color so fast they went from blue to green and his body stiffened and he stared down at me like I’m something to eat.“Archer?”When he didn't respond I scooted back toward the door to put some space between us.Archer grabs my hips and pulls me on his lap. I tried to move but his grip tightened, holding me in place my heart was pounding so hard. Archer leans the tip of his nose rub softly against my neck as he inhales deep.“Archer,” I whispered but my voice faltered.I’ve never been this close to anyone before or sit on a man’s lap for that matter. My stomach was twisting in knots and this uneasy feeling bubbled through my veins.“I’m not Archer,” Archer's mouth moved but that was not Archer's voice or his eyes.Archer told me on the plane that Lycans wolves can talk through them which sets the Lycans apart from werewolves but Archer told me I couldn’t meet his wolf because he thought I wasn’t ready.So why is his wolf here now?“Your Archer’s wolf?”“My name is Lunar.” He nods.I tried to move from his lap again but that only caused him to grip my tighter.I stare up at him through my lashes.“Archer said I couldn’t meet you. He said I wasn’t ready,”Lunar grins.“Archer isn’t happy with me right now. You see Lily, he sees you as a delicate flower that must be handled with care. I on the other hand want to pluck away your soft delicate petals to touch and savor you, for I have searched for decades for you,” Lunar exclaimed and a deep rattle lingered in his chest.“How old are you?”“Two hundred and sixteen,” He answers calmly.I swallow and the lump in my throat grows.“Why have you been searching for me?”“Perhaps I could explain another time. Archer is fighting me for control back.” Lunar says. His voice is rough and raspy yet it sounds so alluring.Not knowing what to say I nodded my head and moments later Archer Blue eyes were staring back at me.It takes me a second to regain my composure. I attempted to move yet again but still failed. I looked up Archer.“What did he say to you?”“You couldn’t hear him?”Archer shakes his head.“Not when he blocks me out. Now answer the question Lily, what did he say to you?”“He only grabbed me and forced me to sit on his lap and told me his name was Lunar,”Archer raises his brow.“He didn’t say anything else? Did he..”I shake my head.“He didn’t hurt me if that's what you're asking,” I replied.Archer sighs in relief.“Should I fear him?” I ask.“No,” Archer shakes his head.“Only when his eyes are black should you be afraid,”I chuckled but Archer wasn’t laughing.“I’m serious,” He says.I shake my head.“They were green. But he did tell me you think of me as a delicate flower that must be handled with care,”“And you believed him?”I shrug my shoulders.“I don’t know you well.”“You know me enough,” Archer replied.“Can I move now?”“Of course,” Archer removed his hands from my hips and I slid back into my seat.“I’m sorry that you had to meet Lunar that way. That’s not how I wanted you to meet him,” Archer apologized.“It’s okay,” I shake my head.“You should sleep we won’t be at the palace for a while,”I nod and lean my head against the window and close my eyes.I sit for a while trying to fall asleep but I couldn’t get comfortable enough to doze off I stretched on the seat and laid my head on Archers lap he was on the phone but my sudden movements caused him to tense and he stopped talking mid sentence it only lasted for a second and he started talking again and me? I finally got comfortable enough to fall asleep.My Lycan Prince.Chapter six.Archer softly squeezes my shoulder.“Lily, we’re here,”I open my eyes and sit up.“Sorry I fell asleep on you,” He shakes his head.“It wasn’t a problem. Shall I show you to your room so you can shower and lay down for the night?”I nod my head.After being on the plane for hours my legs are killing me along with my back.Archer climbs out of the limousine and reaches his hand for me. I take it and thank him as I climb out.It’s dark, very dark but the ‘Palace’ as Archer called it was lit up and what he called a palace was a castle-like mansion that looked to be centuries old. Archer doesn’t let go of my hand as he leads me through the old and very heavy doors.I stopped in my tracks and my eyes widened.The main entrance had not one and not two but three grand staircases and the ceilings went on for miles. The palace was filled with ancient artifacts and paintings and it was decorated with modern architecture with wooden floors. “Wow,” I breathed.Ar
My Lycan PrinceChapter Seven.My eyes flutter open and I close them at the blinding light of the sun coming through the window. I groan and roll over covering my head with the blanket. I'm still exhausted. I wasn't ready to get up…not yet. “Are you going to get up and get ready for the day?” The sound of Archer's voice I snap my eyes open and glance around the room until my eyes land on his crystal blue eyes staring at me with amusement. That’s when I noticed I wasn’t in my room then I remembered I came to ask him for water last night and I ended up staying with him because I couldn’t sleep without seeing Wyatt’s face but laying in his arms and I was able to fall asleep without the recurring dream.“You must be wondering why I slept here,” Archer shook his head.“The thought never crossed my mind,” He replied.“Really?”He nods.“Bad dream,” Archer doesn’t say anything as he stands there staring at me. He’s dressed in a dark gray suit with a blue tie that brings out the color of
My readers I am so sorry I have not updated I have been diagnosed with Lupus and it’s really taking a toll on my body as well as my mind my hands have been hurting so bad I can’t write my doctor is going to start me on treatment on march 27th 2023 and hopefully once that kicks in I’ll be back to normal again I do apologize for any inconvenience and if all goes good I will be back up and writing soon but as of right now I am physically and mentally exhausted and I’m always in pain but I wanted to let you all know what was happening and that I’m not just ignoring you all or the updates I’ll reach out soon With love Bj
My Lycan Prince Chapter Eight.Archer was busy this whole week and I’ve barely seen him. I’ve also been doing research on price schools and they all have outstanding programs. Since Archer is going to pay for it I’ll let him choose the campus. As long as I get to attend a school it doesn’t matter which campus I go to. Wade and Jenny are coming over soon for some lunch by the pool and cooling off in clear blue water. Wade wants to get to know Archer better honestly so would I but he is always working and it’s hard to know someone if they are never here.The way my mother always talked about Archer scared me. I wanted to run away but he explained to me I was never going to be a pet and he had no plans to buy anyone that day but something made him change his mind and he brought me. I no longer have the desire to run away from him. He wants me to get an education and chase my dreams- whatever that might be.I still haven’t forgotten what Riley did to Wyatt. If it's the last thing I do,
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Nine.Two weeks have passed since my swimming accident. Two weeks since Lunar kissed me. I was shocked and had no idea what to do next since he stole my first kiss but that didn’t stop my eyes from closing or weird sounds that came from Lunars chest. I never told Archer what happened, just simply said I accepted his apology and we were on good terms again.Archer has been busier than ever lately but he did manage to pick my campus and I start tomorrow. Sedrick is taking me for my uniform fitting today then we are meeting Jenny for lunch.As the tailor measures me Sedrick watches my discomfort as the tailor measures my waist to my knee. Private schools they go all out.“Shall I drop you off at the venue to meet Jenny?” Sedrick asks.“Yes please. You're coming with us?”“I’m afraid I cannot miss Lily. I’m needed back at the palace,”I nodded my head. Archer sure keeps Sedrick busy all the time as well.……..Jenny and I had a great day. We went back to her house
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Ten.Today is my Seventh birthday and I can’t wait for the final bell to ring any minute now. Wade and Henny are going to pick me up from home and take me to do something special and I’m excited about it.The bell finally rings and I make way toward my locker to get my things.“Hey,” I look to my left and a boy with tousled blonde hair is leaning against the locker next to mine.“Hi,” I replied and grab what I needed from my locker.“Do you wanna hang out with me tonight?” He asks.He was taller than me but not too tall . He wore glasses and he had soft brown eyes.“Uh,” “My name's Johnny. I’m president of the glee club,”“I’m Lily,”“I know,”“My brother and his wife are taking me out for my birthday if you wanna come with that’s fine,” I tell him.I’ve never been asked out on date before and Obviously Archer isn’t interested in me and the best way to get over him and date someone my own age.“Yeah that sounds like fun. Happy birthday,”“Thanks,”“You can m
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Eleven.The car came to a stop and the driver opened the door and Archer climbed out and extended his hand for me. I took it and exited the car and strolled into the palace main entrance.Archer followed suit as I walked up the stairs to my room. I was thankful Archer defended me tonight God only knows what the guy was capable of. I was glad that Johnny also tried to help me but the man was too strong and shoved him back into the crowd. “I’m sorry your night was ruined,”It wasn’t ruined not to me if that guy hadn't done what he did. I would've never held Archer close tonight and that alone made tonight worthwhile.“It wasn’t. I had a good time with everyone,”Archer looks away and his gaze falls on the star charm that Johnny gave me tonight his jaw tics.“Archer,”He looks back at me. My stomach twisted as I walked closer to him.“Lily,” “My parents had my sister and I party early because she was leaving. And they didn’t know when you would come for me, my
My Lycan Prince.Chapter twelve.Archer Carried me to the car and I laid flat on my stomach in the seat and he sat across from me.He still hasn’t spoken to me, probably angry with me as well. I know what I did was wrong but I needed Rose and I needed my twin.“He hates himself,”I look over at Archer with puffy red eyes and he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.“Why did you do this? Why did you run away like that?”“I didn’t run away. I needed to see my sister, it was important,”Archer fists his palms trying to control himself but it wasn’t working. I could see it in his eyes.“Important? You snuck out without telling anyone left the island to go to a place I specifically said wasn’t safe just because you needed your sister?” Archer scolds me.“Yes,”“Well tell me Lily, was it worth it? Was it worth turning Lunar into that monster that beat you?”“Yes,” I cried.“And I would do it again,”Archer stays silent but he calms down some.“I’m not mad at him,” I say, breaking the sil
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.
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 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
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 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 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-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-Six.It’s been three months since I accepted Mattie’s proposal and I have hated myself ever since. Clara was excited and started planning the wedding the next day. The date is set for only four months from now. I’m not sure what I’m feeling at this point. I’m too numb to let it all sink in.Avery was happy with the news as well; he thinks of Mattie as a father. I don’t know why that breaks my heart like it does ... .but does my heart ache watching them throw a football back and forth. Clara wanted me to meet her for wedding dress shopping today. I didn’t wanna go but you know Clara she would have just dragged me here whether I like it or not. “Wow. Lily, this is the one,” Clara nods.“I agree,” Rose smiles with tears in her eyes.Jenny couldn’t make it today. I wish she could have been here.The dress is beautiful. Ball Gown strapless heart shaped neckline, with lots of crystals. This wouldn’t have been my choice of dress but I don’t care I just want
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifty-Five.The whole island was talking about the accident that happened two days ago. The deadly crash that took two lives. Why was everyone talking about it? Well you see one of the men that died? Was very well known on the island; his name was released hours after the crash. Archer Martago.My whole world came crashing down when Clara called me with the news. I was in complete shock. I mean there was no way that Archer was dead, it just couldn’t be there had to be some kind of mistake. But there wasn’t. Archer was gone.Avery didn’t take the news well, and he hasn’t stopped crying since. Me? I’ve been back in that dark place. I haven't eaten or talked that much since. Trapped in my own twisted head that has led me back down this darkness this time around I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.How could there be any kind of light for me after this? How can I ever find happiness again? Archer and I were doing great. He kissed me and told me that h
