Archie’s POV
Sexual dysfunction?Damn it! How dare she slander me?Did she forget who begged me to stop on my bed? This fucking bold girl! I must teach her a lesson!“Come on, buddy. Who let you refuse her and left the bedroom this morning? You deserve it!” My wolf gloated in my mind.“Shut up! You should go to sleep now!”“No, I am not sleepy at all. I prefer to mock you now. Archie, you’re healthy enough, right? But I also wonder how can you refuse Alisha on the bed this morning! If you are surely troubled by erectile dysfunction, I advise you to see the witch doctor or the human doctor. It’s said that the human doctors have made great progress in this field. I believe you can…”“Fuck off!” I snapped angrily in mind. My wolf was normal at usual, but it would become blabbering when it got excited.Now, it was obvious that it wouldn’t miss this chance to mock me.“Archie, don’t be so furious. Maybe Alisha was terrified by you, so she ran away to avoid seeing you.”“If you dare say one more word, I’ll cut off the mind-link with you for the next week!” I threatened with rage. Mind-link was a special ability for the werewolf, by which we could share our vision, words and even thoughts with our pack members as well as our wolf.Sometimes, it was annoying, like now, and we could choose to cut off the link. For this chatterbox wolf, it would be a severe punishment.But my wolf didn’t give in this time, “I don’t care. Alisha has left, and if you block me in your mind, you will be the poor guy with no one to talk in this home. Besides, you need me to help you get her back!”“I don’t care whether she comes back or not! What’s more, she has irritated me, and she must pay the price for that!”“Calm down, Archie, I have to remind you, with this attitude, it’s impossible to get Alisha back. You know, girls love to hearing the sweet words.”“Don’t give me your shoot!” I didn’t want to waste time on my wolf, for I had a meeting today, so I walked into the cloakroom and started to change my clothes. But…“Wow, there are too much clothes, which one do you want to pick today? I recommended green, which can help you to control your temper.”I ignored my wolf’s words and tried to find a suitable one for myself.“Oh well, if Alisha didn’t run away from home because of you, she would prepare everything well for you now, including your shoes, tie, suit, belt, and even the soft underwear! I like her taste.”I closed my eyes then chose a suit randomly to put on it.I didn’t care about outfit. I could live well without her.When I got the dining room, I took the sandwich and bit it, but…“Oh, it tastes strangely. I bet it is made by Mireya. That’s terrible! We have used to the food cooked by Alisha, delicious and healthy, and the most important thing is that she is clear about your taste! You know you are a finicky customer on food, right? But since you married Alisha, you needn’t worry about what to eat anymore.” My wolf’s voice sounded again in my brain. “It seems that you have no chance to enjoy her food. It serves you right!”I paused, and then forced myself to finish the sandwich.“It’s not a big deal.” I pretended to be fine, but my stomach betrayed me. I felt disgusting. How could Mireya make it so awful?Mireya turned terrified to see my sullen face, apologizing right away, “Sorry, sir, it’s always Alisha who make meals for you every day, so I … I can’t…”I could hear my wolf’s big laughter, but I pretended nothing happened and left home quickly.But this annoying wolf kept blabbering on the way to my company.“Archie, you should beg her to come home as soon as you can, otherwise, I am afraid that you will starve soon. Poor boy.”“Listen to me, as the saying goes, happy wife, happy life. Hurry apologize to Alisha and get her back.”“Aren’t you afraid that she may love others when she lives outside?”I slapped the wheel with rage. “Nonsense!”At this time, my phone rang, “Hello?”“Archie, I’m Erma, are you free tonight?”“No.”“I have something important to talk with you, please.”"You can speak it now."“I heard that the internet celebrity Theresa has sold her composition to your company, so can you give that song to me? I really need it.”I frowned and then replied, “Fine, you can contact my assistant Brad and he will help you to deal with it.”After hanging up the phone, I parked my car and walked into the building.Before I encountered the elevator, I caught a familiar figure in front of me, Alisha!Why did she appear here?Did she come to my company to apologize to me? I knew she must give in soon. The rejection was just her little tricks to threaten me. I had already seen through her.I stepped forward to come close to her. Then I found another girl next to her. I had seen her before. If my memory serves, she was Alisha’s human friend, named Nova.“Alisha, although I support you to get rid of this fucking marriage, but I still feel pity for you. Loyalty aside, your husband is a perfect man, handsome, wealthy, powerful… Will you regret for your divorce decision?” What’s the hell this human girl talking about? How could Alisha have such a jerk bestie? I must ask Alisha to stay away from her later!“Even though he is a man of man, for me, my husband is less useful than a female vibrator.” My fucking wife answered in a flat voce and my wolf laughed loudly in my mind.Alisha’s POVThis morning, I received a piece of good news from Nova, “Alisha, I have sent your demo to a familiar music director, and he is interested in your work and invited us to talk the details today!”“That’s terrific! Nova, thank you so much!” I hugged Nova in glee. I never expected that my work could be recognized by other so quickly.“I did nothing. It’s your music that moves him! When he knew the composition comes from Theresa, he agreed to see us immediately. Alisha, you should thank yourself!”I was afraid of reveal personal information, especially as a werewolf, so when I published my song or sold the copy right to others, I always used the name “Theresa”. By the way, I had several millions fans on twitter, and I thought this was one of the reason that the director would like to give me a chance.We got to the director’s company and chatted with him. He had bought the copyright of my song and said that he would recommend me to sign me as a singer in his company. If every
Alisha’s POVI felt embarrassed, apologizing to him immediately, and then I ran away as quickly as I could before he opened his mouth. This might be impolite, butI don’t want others see me in a sorry state.I rushed into the restroom to wash my face and Nova just came out."What's up, Alisha?" Nova stepped closely, helping me clean my face."Don't worry. I met Archie just now and I ... I am getting a little worked up with that bastard." I answered after a sigh."Fuck, why does he come here? Isn't he supposed to accompany bitch Erma to comfort her now?" "What happened?" I caught a hidden meaning in her words and asked immediately."Oh, Erma becoming a hot search topic on Twitter, but…" Nova paused here on purpose, raising her eyebrow with a smirk, "I think you should watch it by yourself."I hurried to take out my phone and checked on Twitter.Erma had accepted an invitation to a benefit dinner for ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), but she finally broke the promise to attend with a
Alisha’s POV When I was hesitated whether I should ask help for Archie, Joey questioned closely, “Alisha, will Archie and his mother will come together, right?” No, he wouldn’t come. He even didn’t appear in our wedding anniversary, so how could he come here to celebrate your birthday? What’s more, I never informed Archie this thing, and I bet he wouldn’t remember your birthday. How should I answer Joey’s question? I wanted to cheat Joey that Archie was too busy to attend his birthday party, but I was afraid that Joey might call Archie personally to invite him. Then Joey must know I wanted to leave Archie. Evita added, “Dad, maybe Alisha ignored your words totally. Or, Archie is unsatisfied with Alisha, so he vents his anger on our pack. After all, since she married Archie, Archie never came to our pack. Dad, I warned you, it wasn’t a good idea to allow Alisha to be Archie’s wife!” Joey squinted after hearing Evita’s words, and then he became impatient with my silence, snapping,
Archie's POV After hanging up the phone with Alisha, I couldn't help but complain, "She's really audacious. She clearly needed a favor from me, but her attitude was so terrible. I wonder if she had a bad experience somewhere else and is taking it out on me. She only dares to vent her anger on me!" “Boy, cool down. I know you're unhappy and hurting, but you should reflect on yourself.” My wolf started to blabber on my mind. “Come on! What do I need to reflect? I have already seen through her. She needs an excuse to come back.” “What? Your wife has left home and wanted to divorce you, don’t you forget that?” “No! It’s just her tricks to get my attention. I know I was too busy these days, which might get her unhappy.” “Buddy, I think you are too optimistic. According to her attitude this morning, you are supposed to say more sweet words to get her back as soon as possible. Or I am afraid that you will be dumped poorly.” “Nonsense! She loves me very much! How can she leave me? I bet
Alisha’s POV After reading these two messages, I was immediately disgusted and started to retch. While I had already come to terms with the failure of my marriage, I couldn't tolerate Erma's provocation. I sat on a bench with a stern face, staring at these two messages for a full 10 minutes. I gripped my phone so tightly it seemed like I might crush it. Then, I narrowed my eyes and thought about the song I had just sold. Since Erma had snatched my song, I, as the creator of the song, could teach her a lesson when the time came. After all, Erma had always portrayed herself as a singer-songwriter. Hmph, she was nothing more than a thief. No matter how reluctant I was to see Archie, I must go to the Black Furies with him together. Or Joey must doubt my relationship with Archie. Just hold on a little longer, endure a bit more. I need to keep Joey calm, don't let him suspect me. Once I have saved up enough money, I would immediately find an opportunity to get my grandma out of the Blac
Alisha’s POVI had to maintain the facade of a perfect wife in front of Joey, so I forced myself to respond to Archie's question with a smile, "I'm sorry, honey. I was asked to help with the cooking." I said this deliberately, knowing that Archie would be upset if he found out his wife was being mistreated by others. While he might not care about me personally, as the ruler of the Golden Crest pack, he wouldn't tolerate anyone challenging his authority.Indeed, Archie glared at Joey and Aunt Patria after hearing my words. He snapped, "Why do you need my wife, the Luna of the Golden Crest, to serve you?""No, Archie, I... I just thought that Alisha is good at cooking, so..." Patria tried to explain, her face turning pale under Archie's intense gaze.I was pleased to witness this scene, but Joey hurried to come to my aid, saying, "Alisha, we treat you very well, don't we?"Suppressing my laughter, I replied, "Archie, I was more than willing to help. You've always enjoyed the dishes I ma
Alisha's POVAfter I got into the car, I expressed my gratitude to Brad, saying, "Thank you for your help just now.""It's no problem. I was simply following the Alpha's orders. He had some urgent matters to attend to, so he asked me to take care of you," Brad replied.I smirked and asked with curiosity, "Really? So, what was it that he needed to deal with?"Brad glanced at my expression through the rearview mirror and hesitated before speaking, "Um...actually, I...I guess it is a business meeting."I caught his gaze in the mirror, but Brad quickly averted his eyes and focused on the road ahead. It was evident that he was helping Archie conceal some embarrassing secret from me, which made him feel guilty.There was no point in pressuring Brad further. After all, he wasn't my husband. With that in mind, I turned my head away and stared out of the window. However, it soon dawned on me that we weren't heading towards Nova's house but..."Wait, Brad! Where are you taking me?" I asked imme
Alisha's POV"Miss, can I assist you?" he stepped out of the car, extending a black umbrella over my head. I flinched slightly as he approached, my uneasiness apparent. Sensing my discomfort, he promptly halted."Don't worry. I too am a werewolf from the Deep Moon pack. I can sense our shared nature. I won't hurt you. Please trust me." He locked his genuine blue eyes with mine.As I beheld those eyes, familiarity struck me—I had encountered him before! After a heated argument with Archie, I had fled and inadvertently collided with this man. To my surprise, he held no grudges and even offered me a tissue to wipe away my tears!A sigh of relief escaped me as I recollected the encounter. At least he wasn't a malevolent individual.As my tension eased, I couldn't suppress a sneeze.It was an embarrassingly awkward moment. Lowering his head, he asked with concern, "Are you alright?"Before I could respond, another sneeze erupted, intensifying my embarrassment.He furrowed his brow and gall
Alisha's POVI saw under the night sky, my pack was covered in flames everywhere, and the air was filled with the constant cries of pain. My warriors were being attacked by rogues, their blood staining the ground, but they remained fearless, bravely picking up their weapons to continue the fight.However, the rogues seemed to possess an undead-like ability. They were shrouded in an ominous black mist, making them seemingly impervious to attacks. Even when bleeding, they felt no pain or avoidance. These rogues had become pure fighting machines.Gray and Orathe activated the Dyess fam
Alisha's POVThe intense pain left my body numb, but for some reason, my consciousness remained clear. The next moment, a black wolf broke through the window, biting into half of Louie's body, causing him to collapse to the ground.I even heard the sound of bones being crushed. Louie's hand was pulled out of my body, and blood spurted out, staining the entire carpet red.My wolf immediately transitioned from the Bay to reality and began healing me. I heard the sound of blood flowing out of my chest, the angry growls of the black wolf, and people downstairs rushing up upon hearing th
Archie's POVAfter I woke up, I saw Shaunda's concerned expression. "How do you feel, Archie?""I'm okay. Where am I?" I tried to lift my hand to rub my forehead but felt a sharp pain in my arm. The memories of what happened earlier flooded back, and my expression darkened."Don't move. Your wounds are deep; you need rest," Shaunda quickly stopped my actions. "We were planning to go back to Golden Crest, but your injuries were too severe. We had to find a place to treat your wounds temporarily. You had a high fever and were talking nonsense all night. It scared me. If your condition
Archie's POVI was carried away from Blood Dawn by my wolf, blood oozing from my wounds. Yet, the physical pain couldn't compare to the agony in my heart. My heart was dead; how could my body still feel?Alisha's determined face as she stabbed me haunted me. The piercing coldness seeped through every pore when I recalled that moment. She was willing to kill me for another man—her husband, as she emphasized. Husband, a title I once scoffed at, now tore me apart.My wolf seemed distraught too, incessantly muttering and complaining in my mind. "What have you done this time?" "I a
Alisha's POVAfter the wedding ceremony, considering Louie's health, I chose not to attend the evening party. With Nova's assistance, I changed out of my wedding gown and took Louie back to the room to rest.Tonight was the first night of our marriage, and as we entered the room, I felt a hint of nervousness. On the night I married Archie, he didn't sleep with me; instead, he slept in a guest room. Now, looking at our bridal chamber, I felt a bit lost.Louie seemed to sense my nervousness. He comfortingly smiled at me and said, "Sorry, because of me, you can't join the evening gathe
Archie's POVI had fantasized countless times about what my mate had described as her wolf. I wondered what it would look like. Now I knew. It was the most wonderful creature in the world, a gift from Moon Goodness to this world. Moonlight fell on its pure white fur, making it shimmer as if it had walked out of a fairy tale.I opened my mouth, staring motionlessly at the white wolf not far ahead. Its eyes, as clear and beautiful as jewels, met mine, and a breeze carried a delightful scent from its fur. It was the light in this dark world.With just one glance, I knew it must be Alis
Alisha's POVI never thought Archie would appear at my wedding. Why is he here? My palms were instantly soaked with cold sweat.Louie kept staring at me, noticing my tension and unease. He took my hand, holding it firmly as if trying to warm me. In a soft whisper, he reassured me, "I'm here. Don't worry."I tried to ignore the piercing glances behind me, following Gray's guidance with a stiff body, step by step, until I stood opposite him.Before me was Louie's face, but in my mind, Archie's face flas
Archie's POVI looked at the person in disbelief, and it turned out to be Louie! He was dressed in a suit, and although he looked a bit pale, he seemed lively, radiating joy. Yes, today he was going to marry Alisha, how could he not be happy?What were my feelings when I was going to marry Alisha before? I seemed to have forgotten, and back then, Alisha was just a command from Shaunda to me. I didn't care at that time, and I don't even have memories of our wedding.Thinking about it now, it fills me with profound bitterness. If there were a time machine, I would definitely go back and tell my indifferent self: you will fall in love with your bride; please treat her well from now on.Unfortunately, time doesn't rewind. Now, I could only, in regret, watch Louie in a groom's suit approach me step by step. I felt like a defeated person, trying to maintain pride and dignity in front of the winner.Upon hearing Louie's words, Gray frowned and said to Louie, "Why are you here? Go back and pr
Archie's POVHowever, as I was about to enter Blood Dawn, a shout suddenly came, "Stop!"I followed the voice and found Gray. I frowned and then calmly explained, "I'm here to attend... to attend the wedding." It was really hard for me to speak out this answer.Gray hurried over, shook his head at me, and said, "Today is an important day for Alisha. I don't want to fight with you at this moment. So be sensible and leave on your own."His voice was cold and full of hostility. I knew about his relationship with Alisha, so from his perspective, he had a reason not to like me. But regardless, today I must see Alisha, and no one, not even her brother, can stop me."I mean no harm. I know my actions hurt Alisha, and I just want to see her and apologize.""Put away that disgusting face of yours. Alisha is about to start her new life, and she doesn't need your apology or to see you again. Leave immediately!"Though I was prepared, hearing this response was
