I sat with my back against the wall watching as the wind shook some leaves from the branches and sent them away with its large gusts, the smell of the light rain which had fell from the sky entered my senses, each matter allowing me to calm down that much more.

Archer, who had been feeling the way I was through our mate bond attempted to mind-link me when the guilt and pain spread through my body to ask me what was happening. I of course wanted to speak to him, but after the memory of what he had said to me and the fact that even though I have allowed my walls down and trusted him, he still cannot trust me enough to let me out of his pack without constant updates, I couldn’t bring myself to talk to him. So, with a sigh, I block out his attempts and look down at my feet.

“Mate is worried about us! I thought you’d grown up since the mating but clearly, you’re still caught up with your feelings!” My wolf shouts in my mind once I’d blocked Archer out, but not having the energy to argu

    Before I knew it, I was on the back of Emmett’s wolf, holding tightly onto his fur as we headed for home. The sky much darker than it was when we left, the twilight sky showing us how long we had been at Alpha Aidan’s pack. The freezing wind whipped through my hair the faster that we travelled, thankfully, Emmett had offered me his jacket before we left, the warm fabric draped over my small stature preserving much more of my heat. The feeling of the shift in energy is what told me we had now entered back into Archer’s pack, a feeling I didn’t know I would miss as much as I have, I truly hated leaving but knew it was the best thing. If only Archer would understand that. Emmett didn’t go to stop until we were right outside of the pack house but oddly, around the back of the building and not in the front like I’d become used to. With a smile, I throw my legs over his wolf and jump down to the ground, leaving Emmett to rush behind a tree to conceal his body as he shifted. Leaving me t

    After his outburst of information which didn’t seem to make sense in the moment, we stood in place against the door inches from each other. His breathing fast as he looked in my eyes, but in the same breath, seemed to be looking straight past me. His hands still held mine in place up against the wall, it was a though he was here with me but his brain in a completely different location. “What do you mean?” I ask after a moment of silence, the longer that we stood in the same position with none of the questions I’d hoped for getting answered, the more I worried for what may be ahead. As soon as I spoke, Archer seems to snap out of whatever trance he was in and pulls me away from the door and closer to the bathroom, a sense of urgency in his step. “That is no longer important, you must begin to get ready for what I have planned for us this evening, I would suggest you wear a more formal yet casual gown for dinner.” He responds dismissing my question entirely, his body still pushing

    I couldn’t quite believe the story that was being told to me, I knew I didn’t know much about Archer’s family, but I assumed it was only due to me yet to be announced as Luna or some other simple reason, I didn’t think it was due to his father killing them all! “Why?” Is all I could seem to say as I looked over at Archer, whose face was still plain as he relived the horrendous day he found his entire family dead. “That is something we have yet to understand if we ever will, my father used to leave detailed notes on everything he did as you already know. But this incident, there is not one piece of writing, no map showing when and where it was to take place nothing. In hindsight, I believe he intended it to be that way, if I couldn’t find any evidence which pointed to him, everyone would continue to believe that it was me.” Archer sighs looking back down at the ground, but that was still the subject that wasn’t making any sense to me. “But I still don’t understand, why did your f

    After showering and picking out one of the beautiful dresses the maids had collected for me, I stood in front of the mirror fixing my hair. I had assumed Archer would have some of the cooks fix us up a meal and we’d eat it in the dining room, but he was quick to tell me he had planned something special for my birthday that I had to wait to see. It was an odd feeling for me that someone was making an effort on my birthday, I mean Hadwin used to sneak me a birthday cake with a candle each year which again, meant the world to me but I always felt as though I was missing out. I would see others in the pack celebrating their birthday with friends and family whilst I was told to simply forgot about it, it hurt more times than others where in the end, I would forget about it entirely until Hadwin would be at my door with a cupcake and I sort of accepted that. But now to have Archer go out of his way to plan something for me, I could have cried. The man of the hour walking into the room w

    The party seemed to rage late into the night, I had the best time walking around the area and getting to speak to so many people, each sending me smiles and wishing me the happiest of birthdays. I had even ventured away from Archer and walked through the party on my own, but I didn’t seem to even notice, I was having such a lovely time. I was also able to see Harriet again, I was beginning to worry that something may have happened to her due to how long it had been, but she reassured me that all was well and after I’m announced as Luna, she’s actually going to become my personal maid! I was a little shocked to hear that I’d get my own maid, in my mind I was fully capable of getting the things I needed done myself. But she was quick to remind me that soon my Luna duties will begin, and I’ll be beyond busy, having her there to help me will take a bunch of the stress away from my mind. By around midnight, I had found myself in Archer’s office, at his desk flipping through the picture

    “What are we going to do?” I ask pacing up and down the office with my shaky hand to my mouth, Archer rereading the letter in his hands over and over again as though what was written would change in some way. “We will think of something I promise, I have sent a message to Emmett who is on his way here now.” He says in hopes of calming me down in some way, but from what I have read and the things that I knew now, there would be no chance that I was about to calm down. “I knew this was going to happen, I knew as soon as he caught wind that I was no longer with my father and brother that he’d find a way in to try and take me. What if he plans an invasion here?” I ask beginning to ramble as I paced up and down, the longer my mind had time to race with the thoughts of how many ways this all could go wrong, the more I began to panic. “None of that is going to happen, remember what I had told you the last time you were feeling anxious, he will have to go through me to get to you and tr

    The sun beginning to blind me is what jolted me awake from my sleep, sitting up a little more than discombobulated at what was happening, I find Harriet, dressed in rather posh clothing and her hair in a tight bun, opening up all of the curtains. This also seeming to wake the sleeping Archer beside me where he groans in annoyance, throwing the blanket over his face to hide from the light. Before I had time to even question anything, the door opens and in walks a dishevelled looking Emmett, his usually slick back hair now up in different places. His outfit was the same one he had slept in last night and his face looking as pale as a ghost. “Much to fucking bright.” He also groans before throwing himself onto one of the ottomans around the room, his arms proceeding to dangle over the sides. “It’s time to wake up Arc.” He groans but seemed to be half asleep himself, as I sat on my side of the bed with the blanket pulled up to my chest looking around, I truly didn’t know what was happ

    My hands shook as I followed Harriet down the corridor to meet Emmett, one that had never felt longer before. The weight of how big and important this event was sat on my shoulders causing me to grow even more nervous, this event is life changing for not only myself but those of the pack members, this was the official introduction of me becoming their Luna, the start of all that I will bring to the table as Luna, the start of everything, comes from this one moment and I couldn’t mess it up. As I reached the very top of the private staircase, Emmett, who looked much better than he did this morning, stood waiting for me. The suit that sat on his body looked more expensive and, in some ways, vastly uncomfortable, the way he played with his collar showcased that. “Having some trouble there?” I ask with a little smile as I began my journey down the stairs, my question seeming to snap him out of his annoyed war with his collar where he looked up at me. “I’m alright, it’s just this fuc

    As like he had said, Archer took me back to the pack house, ran me a warm bath, helped me get changed and was now off to find some medical supplies to dress the mini wound on my head. This meant I was sat on the edge of our bed alone, allowing my troubling thoughts to only spiral that much more. I still couldn’t quite understand why Darren would be there and how he would even know that bunker existed, it’s something I know not only my mother but apparently, Archer’s father took every precaution to ensure it was never discovered. I wish I could have stayed down there a little longer and saw for myself what Darren had been working on, but I knew how Darren even having access to that place was abnormal in itself and I needed to try and speak to him. The sheer panic which was on his face when he saw me also wasn’t sitting right, he and I had been somewhat friends for many years, I had met him the many summers I would stay at Alpha Aidan’s pack. He was truly one of my best friends back

    It was as though we were both frozen in place as we stare back at each other, the water around us flowing by our feet and the shouts of Archer’s orders to return in my mind seemed to fade away as he and I continued with our eye contact. I was much too overcome with shock at who I was seeing and for him, he was shocked that someone else had learned the location of this secret bunker and joined him down here. “FERN!” Archer’s loud shout now not in my mind rumbles from the entrance of the bunker and traveled down the halls, the water seeming to rush as the power of his voice rippled through the tide. This seems to snap Darren from his trance where he steps forward in a panic and throws me out of the way, my body and head smacking into the walls of the tunnel and landing with a scream and a splash on the bottom. Instantly, I’m covered in the most freezing waters I have felt which sent a shock wave through my body, my scream only alerting those at the surface that much more. Now I wa

    None of us moved or even spoke a single word as we looked down at the little hole in front of us, the more I would look, the more lost I became due to how pitch black the hole was. With a closer look, I spot there were a set of metal stairs dug into the wall of the bunker allowing one person at a time to walk down there. “By the looks of it, it seems as though it’s a rather tight fit.” Emmett said who was still standing over the deep hole looking down, but his comment does snap me out of my thoughts and allowed me to walk forward to see for myself. “It’s clear none of you will be able to fit down there but I think I will.” I say looking into the deep hole where I couldn’t even see the bottom, who knows what could be down there, it’s been deserted for maybe twenty years, what if other things have claimed it as theirs? “I am not allowing you to travel down there alone, we do not know what could be waiting for you at the bottom.” Archer tells me taking my hand as though I was going

    With the map tightly in my hand, I lead all the guys over to where I predicted this bunker to be hidden. Archer walked beside me with his hand tightly clutching onto mine, Emmett stood beside him with a shovel in case we would need to dig it out and my family stood beside me. We all saw the confused or surprised stares from the many pack members we would pass, it was common knowledge especially, after I came here that these two packs and Alpha’s hated each other. So now to see us all walking in a line and Emmett even holding a shovel, I knew most were coming up with some outlandish theories as to what they believed was happening. The closer that we came to the bunker, the more my brain began to try and work out what could he down there. My mother gave me hardly any information, only that this folder would give me all the answers that I needed, but as I held the contents of the folder in my arms, I was more than confused at what I found. The sound of the rushing water from the ri

    “What is?” Emmett asked who still stood beside the shelve looking through his own box, while I got to my feet and hurriedly, made my way over to him. “I remember seeing that symbol when I was sorting through everything, I had seen it on the front of some old folder deep in a mountain of paperwork. I thought it looked cool but still had a ton more paperwork to sort, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.” I explain before coming to a stop right beside Emmett to stare at the box in question, as like the time I had climbed to reach the final box when I sorted through it all, the box was right at the very top. I once again began to mentally ask myself how I was going to get the box down, now I’ve had experience with this shelve, the idea of climbing each section as though it was a set of stairs seemed like the best option. Archer seeming to know exactly what I was thinking, gets up from his chair behind his desk and swiftly, makes his way over to me. “With what happened the last time

    When that sentence left my lips, each man held a mixture of shock and confusion in their expressions, before they subsequently, looked at each other asking if they all thought the same thing, I was going crazy! Ripping the blanket from my legs, I begin to play the dream out and all my mother said to me around my mind, so I didn’t forget a thing, whilst Archer remained in his crouched position looking over at me with worry in his eyes. “What do you mean?” He asks taking my hand in his as he spoke, whilst I knew I was sounding crazy for believing it all, I knew in my heart of hearts that I had spoken to my mother, she was saying things I don’t believe my mind in that sleep state would be able to dream up. “I was speaking to mother; I know how that sounds, and you all will either say I was dreaming, or the stress of this situation is playing with my head but I’m not. I woke up laying here and none of you were with me, but mother was, I was panicked but she soon calmed me down and tol

    The sound of such intense ringing in my ears jolts me from my sleep, jumping up a little from the mini sofa which Archer keeps in his office, I come to find that I was the only person in the room. Not my family, Emmett or even Archer remained in the room with me, this not only worrying me but also angering me slightly, how dare they leave me in the room whilst they’re off gallivanting somewhere! Before I had time to boil in my anger and turn around to go and find said disrespectful men and tell them a thing or two about manners, I feel a second presence in the room with me. Such a feeling made goosebumps begin to form along my back and down my arms as though I had walked into a freezing cold freezer and my body was reacting in a way to preserve heat. But this time as I did a second scan of the room in hopes of finding the source of this off feeling, I soon find something that not only confirmed why I was feeling the way that I did but shook me deep to my core. My mother, the one

    The hours seemed to tick by ever so slowly, due to the past relationship the two packs held, it was vital that we go over each and every section of the treaty to ensure each understand the terms to prevent any confusion or anger in the years to come. I had used my powers today more than I had ever before, back at the training grounds with Archer and now when I needed to teach that disrespectful asshole a lesson. I had yet to fully grasp my powers and understand how to control them, this meant each time I used them, I was taking more and more of my energy and throwing into the sea! Now I was left sitting back in my chair forcing my eyes not to drop close as Emmett’s voice continued to read the terms out loud whilst we all followed along. “The reasoning for such a treaty was due to many factors, Alpha Cameron’s Daughter Luna Fern, now mated to Alpha Archer. But also, the growing threat from the King, this section of the treaty will not be public knowledge for obvious reasons.” Emmet

    After Archer and I had concluded the special kind of discussion, he wished us to have, he was called away to go and deal with some rouge that had been found at the edge of the border. We were both a little confused for a moment, normally, the border guards deal with rouges and only give a report to the Alpha and Luna at the end of the month detailing how many had appeared in case it becomes a problem. The guards expressed how this rouge had been saying some peculiar things, so they deemed it appropriate for the Alpha to go and speak with the rouge and find out what was happening. So, whilst Archer left to deal with some odd rouge, I went along with Emmett to his office to prepare for the peace treaty meeting we’ll be having with my family, which had already been postponed for an hour. All I could seem to do was sit on Archer’s chair, staring up at the ceiling with my mind doing many laps. I had been so overcome with an ungodly amount of rage when that man was speaking, I didn’t ta
