Chapter Forty-Three: Letter From The Dead

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

The room remained silent as the card which held my mothers beautiful handwriting looked back at me, normally, holding a card your mother had written for you wouldn’t be that shocking. But considering, mine has been dead for twenty-four years, my brain wasn’t quite understanding how any of this made any sense.

“Could this be an old card from when your mother was alive?” Archer asked thinking the same thing I was, my dead mother isn’t going to rise from her grave and write me a birthday card, is she?!

But I knew what each and every card my mother ever wrote for me looked like, each year on my birthday or whenever I missed her, I would look through my keepsake box where all of my most precious memories stood. I have read those cards countless times but have never seen this one before.

“As I only got to share two birthdays with my mother, she would buy me beautiful cards with little fairies or princess castles. I have truly never seen this card before.” I explain still holding the p

    After reading the card from my mother and receiving her necklace, the thoughts of what she may have been hinting about the future battled in my brain. We had suspected all of this mess and why my life was forced to be so secretive was due to the King, but now she had confirmed it herself, it terrified me. What if the King’s planning some wild attacks and wants me by his side so he’d be invincible?! Was that why he turned so deadly when my mother refused to hand me over? But if that is the case, why did he not return after she died to come and get me from my father? Was that why my father made his pack so dreadful to live, to scare away anyone who attempts to break in and take me again? I knew at the moment, I didn’t know how I was going to get any answers to my questions but the longer that I allowed them to spiral, I would only worry more. As I sat on Archer’s lap while he worked, I scanned the room in hopes of finding any distraction from my thoughts, even if it was only for a m

    Both men looked at me a little confused initially, before Archer seemed to think he knew what I meant by this and shook his head with a look of annoyance. “This is not an invitation for you to go back to your fathers pack, yes you may be marked now, and my trust for you has risen, but I do not trust that at the first chance after seeing your old home, you will run.” He said in a stern voice as though that idea went into my mind, where I only stood up with my arms crossed. “Okay first off Mr Alpha, do not speak to me in that tone and second, I wasn’t talking about going back to my family and asking them, they probably wouldn’t even show me anyway and make it seem as though such things didn’t exist. I was actually talking about going to visit one of my father’s good friends, Alpha Aidan of the Beacon Hill pack. It’s a small pack in a rather secluded area around twenty miles from here.” I explain placing the papers which were in my hand back in the box, Emmett nodding his head whilst

    Emmett leads me out of the pack house and towards the wooded area, I knew shifting would be the quickest way but with how unique my wolf was and the constant reminder from my father that I was to hide her at all costs, I knew I couldn’t partake. Once we reached the edge of the east side of the pack, one of the border guards throw Emmett a bag which I will assume is holding his clothes so once we arrive at our destination, he doesn’t have to walk around naked. “Alright, I’m gonna shift and you’ll ride on my back, okay?” He asks looking through the bag to make sure it holds everything he needs before zipping it up, sending him a tiny smile and a nod of my head letting him know I understood, I look down at the ground. “I wouldn’t take what Archer said to heart, he’s just a little cautious due to the way in which you entered the pack and now are leaving without him, I know if I had a mate, I would act the same way.” Emmett explained attempting to stick up for his friend, but I knew th

    Walking through the pack house and towards Aidan’s office, I couldn’t help but begin to compare his pack house to Archer’s. It was tiny compared to the one I had become used to, the walls and furniture were beyond outdated and dusty, I had never thought about this place in such a way before, but I couldn’t help it. “Please take a seat.” Aidan smiles as we enter his office, the same pictures and décor on the walls I remembered as a child, a smile on my lips as I’m transported right back to sitting here with Hadwin after playing in the sun all day. I have repeatedly said what it was like to live at my father’s pack once my mother died, there was no place for us to have fun and laugh, but only sadness, anger and resentment clung to the walls like an inescapable odour that even if you wanted to have fun, you couldn’t. That is why Hadwin, and I would count down the days until Aidan would pick us up for a few days to stay with him, his pack vastly different to my fathers to such a degre

    Within a few moments, one of Aidan’s pack members had walked into the office with a laptop in hand, Emmett seeming to tense a little watching this man’s each and every move as though he’d pick up the laptop and start attacking us with it! “Back when your mother first discovered that she was pregnant with Hadwin, she wanted to document everything, it had always been her dream to be a mother and she didn’t want to forget anything.” Aidan says whilst his pack member got everything set up on the laptop for whatever it was, we were about to watch. “But due to the back breaking pregnancy, your mother could not get out of bed most of the time so perhaps one or two photos were taken. So, when she found out she was pregnant with you, she made it her duty to document each and every moment, whether it be hard or easy. This meant each milestone that she would hit in her pregnancy, each appointment all of it was captured.” He smiled as the pack member bows in respect to his Alpha before exiting

    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

    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

    The longer my hands remained clenched, the more this malicious, evil and dangerous creature in front of me clawed at his throat as though his attempts were going to release the pressure. The once vibrant room seemed to grow darker with each passing second, with a freezing wind and dark invisible clouds over our heads, it was as though we were in the middle of a storm. Emmett and Archer remained either side of me, both in a state of shock as they watched me use my unearthly powers in a way none of us were expecting. “I hadn’t come across this being one of your powers through my research.” Emmett spoke watching as the man in front of us was close to passing out all together, but neither man went forward to do anything to stop it. “It’s just how I said when we first met dearest Emmett, never show anybody your full hand.” I say in my own dark and twisted voice, I had yet to use my Luna voice, but I had to imagine we were seeing a little glimmer from her in this moment. With a smir

    Once that sentence had left the repulsive man’s mouth, it was as though someone had thrown me in a lake of freezing water, my entire body felt like an ice block. I suppose I had never given it much thought on who would have dealt my mother her last blow, when you’re thrown into a sea of grief and given my young age, I was more focused on my mother no longer being there. But if I were to think of it, I would have guessed it would be the Alpha, I mean he was the Alpha after all and the man the King had appointed to get the job done. But now to hear this man tell me he was the one that truly took my mother away from me, it was as though I was hit with her loss all over again. “I remember the day well, I was the lead fighter at the time so when Alpha Alexander came to me the previous night and explained the mission, I was more than ready to heed his orders and do what I could to ensure the mission was a success.” The man begins to say recounting the day, whilst I still stood frozen in p

    Once the training session had concluded, Archer and I didn’t have time to sit down and rest, we had to get back, showered and off to our next task of the day. I had offhandedly told Archer the night of my birthday that I wanted to attend one of his meetings with the officials, I had forgotten all about it until Emmett let it slip that I was attending after the King’s visit. I wasn’t too sure what kind of things are spoken about in these meetings, I know with me being an Alpha’s daughter, I should know all the intricate details that come with running and maintaining a pack. Most things, yes, I could write a book on but others such as official meetings, I knew nothing about. Once my mother died, my father went insane as like you already know which in turn, changed everything our little pack used to be. The first thing to go was the number of officials and the power the ones who remained had, in most cases, the Alpha and the Luna of each pack set the rules and decide what they should

    After getting to train with Archer a little more one to one and attempting to theorise what other powers I may have and what emotions could trigger them, Archer explained how he wanted to stand in and see what progress I had been able to make with the group of fighters I train with Greg. It’s always nice to hear what positive things people have to say about the men, I could see first hand what they were like before, the disrespect that some of them had shown to me when I first arrived, I did worry they would never accept me. After some work, they are now some of the nicest men I have met and are always the first to offer me some help in training. I knew when Greg gave me the fighters, not many people held high hopes for me or them, but I’m glad we’ve been able to prove them all wrong. Archer and I stood in the little equipment building as the men began to file into the training ground, most were laughing and joking with one another whilst Archer watched. “Are you coming out with

    The feeling of someone placing long kisses on my neck begins to stir me out of my sleep, groaning in annoyance and turning away slightly to continue with my beauty rest, I attempt to ignore it all. But the longer this person trailed kisses all over my skin, the more my wolf purred in excitement filling my body with such a rush of energy that I couldn’t have fallen back to sleep even if I tried! “I know you’re no longer asleep.” Archer’s raspy morning voice whispers into my ear, his action sending such intense shivers to rush through my body allowing my eyes to open. “Yes Mr Alpha, how can I help you?” I ask turning my face to look at him laying beside me with the biggest smirk on his lips, his face drawing even closer to mine. “In the past, that name had the ability to fill me with such anger, but now you have used it in some of our most intermit moments, it tends to have the opposite effect.” He whispers but now such a deep feeling of desire clung to each of his words, where I

    Walking towards the pack house to go and see Archer, I was hit with many differing emotions. The first was such a wave of relief and happiness, this meeting had been held over our heads for days now, with what we know about the King and the awful acts that he’s inflicted onto me and my family, no one was to know where this meeting was going to go and how far the King was planning on heading until he got exactly what he wanted. But now I was walking back and didn’t see any damage to the exterior of the pack and buildings from some kind of King filled rage, I had to assume the meeting had gone well or ended civilly. But due to the many unknowns, I was left asking myself what the King truly wanted to talk about, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to predict it was all about me and the powers he had forced onto me all those years ago. Could he be here to tell us that what happened was a mistake, and he was going to leave me alone? I knew likeness of that was slim to none, but I had to t

    The longer that I remained down in the basement, the more my entire body shook with such fear and anxiety for what may lay ahead. The man who had sent men over to my father’s pack all of those years ago to kill my mother, was now stood above me speaking with my mate. If the King had turned deadly when my mother told him I wasn’t leaving, what’s he going to do with Archer for that reason, he has had many years to sit in his boiling anger for what happened and for what didn’t go his way! The room we were in resembled so much of the cellar Hadwin and I hid in years ago, the light flicking from the ceiling swaying back at forth. The concrete of the walls and ceilings left me feeling more enclosed and worried than ever before, I was too young before to know what was happening but now, all I wanted was to be with Hadwin so he would keep me safe as like he did before.
