last update Last Updated: 2024-11-07 15:05:05

The space around us fell into one of the tensest of silences I have ever experienced in my life, the way my dad looked down at the ground with silent little growls escaping his lips now the realisation that mother had told Hadwin to keep such a secret away from him did laps around his brain.

“I have wanted to tell you both about the card for years, there were many times I almost did, but I couldn’t break one of the promises mothers had made me make with her just before she died. I understand that you must be angry father, but you have to see it from my perspective, mother asks me to make a series of promises with her, most at the time a little odd but with my age, I agree. Only to have my mother die days later, I didn’t have any other choice but to keep things away from you not only because of the situation but the heartless, cruel and inhumane beast you turned into after her death.” Hadwin says hoping to back himself up but with his final comment, I couldn’t stop the shock which fi

    After allowing the doctor to run more intense tests and exercises, he did express that he’d much rather me stay in hospital overnight but with the situation we were in and the promise that once I return home, I’ll go straight to bed and take it easy for the next few days, he allowed me to leave. This I could see didn’t make my father the happiest, but he also knew he didn’t have any other choice. Somewhere in the terrifying experience which somehow led me to be sat in this hospital, I had lost both of my heels and ruined my dress to such disrepair, it was soon apparent that it would begin to fall from my body. My father of course said I would need to change before he allowed anyone to see me. I knew this was only him stalling time to keep me here longer, but I didn’t mind, the dress was lovely but certainly very restrictive after the ordeal it had been through. As I waited for the pack member which was heading back to my old room to fetch me some suitable clothes and footwear, it

    Once I had overcome my dizziness spell, the large number of questions I knew would be hounded at me the first chance they got began to be asked. My father and brother alike seeming to be so confused, shocked but also wildly impressed that I was able to bring Jeff who was at deaths gate back to life. “How did you do that?” My father asked as I slowly walked from behind the curtain after getting changed, my ruined dress laying on the bed behind me. “I don’t know if I can answer that question because I haven’t a clue either.” I say with a little smile leaning against the wall using that as my support, I was weak due to the accident anyway but now I had helped Jeff, it was as though I had given him all my strength and I was surviving on the almost empty tank. “Alright, how did you learn you could do that?” Hadwin asks rephrasing my father's question, where I had to chuckle a little looking at the pair. “As I said, since being with Archer, we’ve been looking into my wolf and the ki

    My eyes didn’t leave Archer’s as my father and brother soon make us come to a halt, they had told me they didn’t think it would be a good idea if they walk me straight over to the border after the third invasion, but it was as though I couldn’t make it over there myself. “Will you manage?” Hadwin asks after seeing for himself the considerable amount of distance I would need to travel alone to reach Archer, on a normal day it would take me mere seconds but due to my injuries, most I was keeping to myself, the journey would not only span much longer but be much more painful. “There’s only one way to find out.” I reply whilst telling my body that it needed to suck up the pain until I reached Archer, but I knew such an order would be much more gruelling than what I expected. Taking a deep breath in, I start my journey closer to my mate who waited in anticipation on his side of the border. At first, the walk was not too strenuous, I knew for the sake of my body I could not rush over

    The longer that my father's hand remained outstretched and Archer only watching as though he was waiting for an attack, the more the fear mixed with worried tension clung to the air and each person's mind. I would have assumed after seeing Archer hadn’t gone to shake my father's hand, he would have retracted and realised Archer wasn’t going to fall for whatever sinister plot was afoot, but he didn’t, his stance remained firm, and his eyes looked into Archer’s showing he wasn’t going to take no for an answer. With my hand still on Archer’s arm, I nudge him a little telling him to either shake my father's hand or tell him why such an interaction would never take place, my feelings wouldn’t be able to take any more tension. I didn’t know if it was due to Archer being my mate or that I stood so close to him, but I could feel his outpouring of uncertainty but also, curiosity as he too didn’t know where this was going to go. With a look of concentration, Archer too reaches his hand out

    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.

    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 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.
