Chapter Seventy: My Fault

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-12 14:41:39

After managing to have four hours of restful sleep, I’m awoken by Archer who seemed to already be up and dressed waiting for the King, I did begin to wonder if he’d managed to get any sleep himself. But before I could question him, he had already gotten me out of bed and into the bathroom to help me get ready as I was still injured.

With the hours I was able to catch, my wolf had enough strength to return and slowly begin to heal me, my leg was pretty much already healed whilst the bruising and broken rips took a backseat on the healing side.

“At least I’m able to walk straight.” I say as Archer slowly helped me into the long-sleeved top I had decided to wear, even the slightest sudden movement caused a ripple of pain to spread through me, so it was lucky I had Archer here to help me.

“None of this should have happened, I can’t help but feel I am responsible for this.” He sighs once my hand had slipped out the other end allowing me to pull my shirt down, but his comment confused

    Once Fern was safely kept away in the basement of the pack house, Archer stood on the pack house steps looking out into the trees of his pack and the single road which the King would drive down. He didn’t want to showcase to Fern how worried he was, or anyone else for that matter, but he too knew how important this meeting was, it would either make or break the situation they had found themselves in. In his mind, if the King wanted to start any war in order to take Fern, Archer would not hesitant and the biggest of wars would unleash, it was his mate for Christ's sake! He had waited years to find her and even when he did, she put up the biggest fight, one that he worried would never end! So now they were presenting and acting the way mates should, there was no way he was going to allow some entitled crown wearing, get whatever he wants at a drop of a hat King to take her away from him! “He’s at the border.” Emmett said in a quiet but deep voice himself, he stood just behind Archer

    The pack house due to the meeting was deserted, Archer didn’t give his pack members the reasoning for his orders but said that no one was to be present in the pack house until he gives them the order to return. It was a shock to the pack members and most wanted to question him, but with Archer’s reputation and the odd amount of confusing situations that had been brought to their attention over the past months, none dared to question their Alpha, and all left the pack house the night before. “Hmm I was expecting to see more of your pack members walking the halls.” The King remarked as Archer led him to his decoy office, this was the one he’d use when he had visitors, the one Fern had been in countless times was his personal one, only Emmett, his mate and whoever he deems worthy of such a honour are allowed to step foot in that office. “My pack members are aware of the times I allow them to conjugate in the social areas and the times I deem that inappropriate. With such an important

    The smirk wouldn’t leave Archer’s lips even if he tried, the way the King looked over at him gripping the arms of the chair with such force it was close to snapping all together. Archer didn’t know what was going to happen in this meeting, but he didn’t expect for the invasions and the purpose of them to be brought up so early on. The tension in the air was thick with anger from the King but for Archer, such a sick feeling of pleasure washed through him as he looked over at the man sat right at the other end of the desk. “I’m a little unsure of what you mean sir, what do I know exactly?” Archer asks as the office door is opened and in walks Emmett, who once again bows his head in respect to the King before walking to stand beside Archer. “This is a closed meeting.” The King said in such a dark tone not breaking eye contact with Archer, who didn’t even feel an ounce of fear as he looked back at the man who was struggling to contain his anger. “I believe it would be in the better

    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. I sat on a little metal bench type of structure, Harriet sat on the one beside me with her hands in her lap and a tiny sm

    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 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

    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

    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

    ~Four months later~ I always love driving through beautiful countrysides, the way the landscapes whizz past you showcasing a glimpse of the beauty they hold, it can be so magical. My hands placed in my lap, the beautiful diamond ring my mate had gifted to me two months ago sat proudly on my finger. I had never given marriage much thought growing up, when living with my father, it was more about survival, making sure we were always two steps ahead of another outburst. So, marriage and mates weren’t frequent visitors of my thoughts, I couldn’t sit in dreamland. But that was all before I met Archer. It took some time for me to warm up to him, but the moment I told him how much I loved him, the schoolgirls bubbly feelings of marriage and what it would look like was all I could think about, well aside from the war of course. So, when he got down on one knee surrounded by all our friends and family, my heart could have burst from joy. As you can probably guess, I said yes. But sitti

    The sounds of the battle still roared behind me as I rush towards the edges hoping to get a glimpse of Aidan, I knew he had to be around here somewhere to control his creatures, but I couldn’t see him. Catching my breath, I begin to look around the landscape, as the sun slowly began to rise above a hill, I see him, stood at the very top watching the battle happen below. With a smirk, I decide to take the denser part of the woods in hopes of blending in and catching him in surprise. As I climbed the steep hill, using the fallen trees and debris to help me climb up, I begin to ask myself why he did this, he was my father's best friend and allowed him to die without a second thought. He could have called the flesh eaters off that day and none of us would have known, but he didn’t, he allowed my father to die because of his selfish desire. The higher I climbed, the angrier my anger began to boil and the image of finally, making this man pay for all he had done forced me to climb even

    The sounds of nature around us were all we could hear, each of us knelling down and waiting in our last moments of peace before the blood hungry battle begun. If I’d allowed myself to go into my head, I would begin to panic from the fear of losing so many, but as like I had learnt, when walking into battle, nothing else had space in your mind apart from the battle in front of you. I crouched down behind a broken tree staring at the clearing before us, Archer beside me with his bright sword in his hand and our men scattering the land waiting for my signal. Each agonising moment which ticked by, the more I repeated to myself that I was born to do this, it was set in the stars from my first breath that in this battle, I would reign victorious. It was time to fully round up the book I was written into, the final chapters were before us. “If you’re here mum and dad, I could use some help.” I whispered looking up at the changing sky above us, this is what mother had meant in her card, s

    It’s been a few days since I spoke with Alexander down in the cell, he and Archer spent hours talking in his office about everything, I excused myself to speak with the King and the guys to give them privacy. The King had explained all we learnt from Alexander regarding Alpha Aidan, so imagine how tense the air felt in that office when I entered. Emmett was of course angry, we had been led down the river by Aidan, someone posing as a friend who wanted to offer his assistance, was really the man who was posing us the danger! Whilst I could see Hadwin felt the same as I did, we had grown up with this man thinking he was one of the purest around. He took us in when our father was too much to bear, we even addressed him as Uncle Aidan on so many occasions. But now to know he was the opposite of all we thought he could be and if we boiled it down, was one of the main factors which led to our mother's death, it was a hard pill to swallow. After having a chat surrounding Aidan, we began

    The silence of the area took hold of each person that stood to witness it, not one of us knowing what was about to happen next with the notorious angry Alpha which stood right beside me with his arm around my waist. This was something I know Archer had always wanted to happen, to have his father finally, take the blame for what had happened and make everyone see that he’d been telling the truth from the start. But due to everything, it was something he thought would never happen. But now to have his father fully clear his name, I don’t know if he understood what to do next. After a long pause of tense silence, Archer takes a step forward standing in his Alpha stance looking over as our pack members who looked back at little worried and some even sympathetic, now they knew what I’d been trying to tell them since I arrived here was true, they felt bad. “Pack members, I also want to thank you at how swift you all listened to your Luna’s order and gathered here without a second tho

    After explaining to the two men with me what my plan was, both seemed more than doubtful that it was going to work but when I looked into Alexander’s eyes as the guards returned and I’d given them my new instruction, I could see the hope but also such gratitude as he looked back at me. “Why are you helping me, it would be much easier for you to walk out of here and pretend we never spoke?” He asked as the guards stood him up and wrapped the suitable chains around his arms and legs. “As I said, this is not only going to help you but will also help Archer and with all he’s done for me, it’s only right I repay the favour.” I say with a smile placing my hands behind my back before a chuckle escape my lips. “And my father used to always say, taking the easy way out may seem simple but it only brings you more trouble down the line.” I joked thinking back to all the times my father had me take the difficult path on jobs he’d send me, at the time I thought he was doing it to pick on me bu

    Alexander looked down at the table with a look of sorrow as the King, knowing I wasn’t planning on going anywhere until I heard what Alexander had to say, took his seat beside me and got comfortable to hear what else we needed to know. “I know many will refuse to believe me when I say, I truly did not have any other choice but to kill my family. That is such an outlandish claim, but it is the truth.” Alexander said looking up at me with tears in his eyes, where the vulnerability of this former heartless Alpha broke my heart in a such profound way. “As like you did when we spoke about the flesh eaters and how you helped my mother, start from the beginning.” I say hoping to guide him through telling us the truth, I know this is something he’d been forced to keep to himself for so many years, so actually saying the words is probably so incredibly hard for him. “It all started with your mother's death, as like most of all the awful things that have transpired. I know you may find me

    As his words marinated in my mind, the more hurt and confused I became, how could Aidan do such a thing? When Hadwin and I were growing up after our mother died, he was our only source of happiness and peace, he was the brightest beacon of light when our lives were anything but happy. He truly was like a father figure to us, which why even thinking that he could have told those creatures to do that to my own father, it hurt deeply. “H-how do you know that for sure?” I ask after a moment silence to better my thoughts, I know he had already explained why he thought it was Aidan, but he had to be certain. “It can’t be anybody but Aidan, each time one of those flesh eaters attacked, it suspiciously benefited Aidan in some way. The first attack for instance, Aidan’s pack and another called The Full Moon Pack were having a dispute of some sort, Aidan was claiming the Alpha at the time had stolen some of his land, but the Alpha was insistent that no such incident had occurred.” Alexander

    When that sentence left Alexander’s lips, I sat silently for a moment not really having an understanding of what he meant. I had always been under the impression that these flesh eaters were like any other wild animal, just a whole lot eviler. Once I turned my head to look at the King who still sat beside me, I spotted the confusion on his face too. “You are under the impression that there is a person who controls the flesh eaters?” The King asked seeming to have the same questions as me, where Alexander only nods his head. “I have been dealing with these creatures for many years and have had the most trained investigators looking into this and never once did we suspect these creatures were being controlled.” The King said explaining what he believed to be true, where Alexander shakes his head with a sigh. “That is the assumption that Beatrice and I made when we first looked into this, I mean who in their right mind would want to control such evil creatures and do such heinous act
