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 Prince.Chapter thirteen.I can’t believe that time has flown by so fast and spring break is already here. Archer arranged for me to stay with Rose for a week I’m so excited to see her and Archer and I have been talking a lot lately and the more I know about him the more I fall in love with him I try my best not to let him see it and if he does notice he doesn’t act like he does.He still hangs around Clara a lot even bringing her to dinner and Dwayne loves her too as to when he acts like I’m non existent. Although Dwayne’s rules were simple and consistent of me sticking to myself and not meddling into Archer's affairs. Rule 1 I must keep my grades up.Rule 2Don’t speak unless spoken to.Rule 3Keep my hands off Archer.Simple rules really only one is gonna be hard and that would rule number three.Archer is flying with me today. He's going to stay the night then fly home tomorrow morning. He wants to make sure that Lunar didn’t cause any issues with them and make sure th
My Lycan Prince.Chapter fourteen.“I can’t,”Archer was right. He is never going to have feelings for me so why do I keep doing this to myself? “Why?” I heard the words leave my mouth before I could stop them. I'm exhausted but the main reason I cut my night short was to talk with him even though deep down in my soul I knew I would regret this conversation. I shouldn’t want this as bad as I do. I shouldn’t keep pushing myself on him knowing how he feels. Yet I keep punishing myself and it’s not like I grew up unloved. My parents and siblings love me though it’s not the love I want so desperately to have.“I just can’t,” Archer finally says.“Why not Archer? Give me a reason and I’ll stop asking you,”And I would stop asking if he would tell me the truth. I need to know why he can’t kiss me or get too close. Maybe then I’ll finally be able to move on.“Lily,”“Why?” I replied. I watched as Archer's jaw clenched and his palms fisted. I could tell he was getting angry.“Why do you wa
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifteen.Zero never slowed down as he drove as fast as lighting through the bends and turns of the road. I held his waist tightly because of the mountains and big drop offs on the one side. I’ve never seen a place so beautiful even at night with the light from the moon and the way the fog covers the peaks of the mountains is breathtaking. Colorado is beautiful, it's no wonder why Rose loves it here.Zero finally comes to a stop on a cliff side and he hides his bike behind some trees.“Follow me,” He tells me and starts walking through the trees. I followed him and froze just on the other side.We were on a mountain overlooking the city of Denver. The way the city lights up and looks so far away it’s a stunning view.“It’s beautiful,” I tell Zero.He nods.“I used to come here a lot after my mom died. My dads a bad buy and kept wanting me to join him but his lifestyle wasn’t something I wanted so I left home,”“What is it that your father does?”Zero was quiet f
My Lycan Prince.Chapter sixteen.“Lunar,”His tear filled eyes met mine and he smiled.“I’ll never forget you little Mate,”Little? Mate? I didn’t think too much into it as he placed a soft kiss on my lips and he got to his feet.“Grab your bag and go, I’ll try to hold him off as long as I can,”I zipped up my suitcase and hugged Lunar and pecked his lips before leaving the room. I dragged it quickly as I could down the stairs and before I could reach the door Archer jerks the suitcase from my hands.Everyone Rose and Twyla were sitting in the sitting room and when Rose saw Archer she quickly made her way toward us along with Ethan and his father Bruno.“I told you that you were not going back home,”“Yes I am,”“Riley wants to use you for his own personal benefit,”“I don’t fucking care,”“Language,” Archer warns.“I’m going back home to my parents whether you like or not,”“Do you really want to go and be a whore to Riley?”“I’d rather be his whore than live another minute with you
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
