Chapter Ten: Terms

My legs began to ache as I walked through a thick, dark and spooky forest, each turning looked to be headed into even more unforgivable darkness. I didn’t quite know where I was or where it was, I was heading, but my legs simply carried me the way they knew.

The feeling of ominous eyes watching my each and every move were hard to ignore, I couldn’t see anyone or anything for that matter watching me, this only adding to how terrified I felt in this moment.

“Hello!” I call out into the darkness hoping to either get a reply from someone I knew letting me know I’d be okay or even a chance to hear someone I didn’t and start my plan of escape before anything could happen.

But my little call was met with even more deafening silence, not even one bird seemed to be sitting in its nest deep in the trees, as though all the creatures had seen something they didn’t like and made a run for it. But apparently, I didn’t get the message.

Right on the horizon ahead of me, what seemed to be some

    It was as though my brain couldn’t quite comprehend what was happening, I knew what that device had the power to do and saw first hand what it felt like to be on the other end. There were many times I would need to beg my father to stop causing his prisoners so much harm and if he was simply going to kill them, put them out of their misery and not drag it on for them to feel even more pain. Most times my father wouldn’t listen and Hadwin was forced to drag me out of the room worried that I would vex my father so much he’d turn around and use it on me! But there were a small handful of times he actually, listened to me. I didn’t know if he was just feeling nicer those days or actually listened to me, but he’d let the person go, well in his way anyway. My breathing was fast and panicked as I watched Archer pace the little room with the weapon in his hand, as though he was mocking me in a sense. With a smirk, I knew he could see I was very much aware of what was in his hand and what th

    The way Archer walked up and down the room felt more threatening than anything, he had a weapon in his hands which could kill anyone in a matter of minutes and here I was chained to a chair not being able to fight him off. I knew he told me he’d never use such a device on me but how do I know that? Each time I keep turning down his requests to mark me, I see him grow even more angrier than before. “Now Fern, I believe we’ve had enough back and forth on this matter and little Harriet over here does not have the strength to endure another zap from this especially, now I have increased the power.” He smiled in such a dark tone playing with the device in his hand whilst turning it on, lighting bolt type flashes begin to erupt from the device lighting up the room. “This is the last time I’m going to ask, my little Fern, can I mark you?” He asked taking backward steps to stand beside Harriet, who didn’t even have the strength in her body to hold her head up. In this moment I should ha

    Moments continue to go by as I remained in my delirious state, I didn’t know much about marking as my mother never had the chance to explain things such as a mother should, but I knew you can remain in a high like state for hours after marking. This is due to your mate pouring your body with his toxins and many other substances which only allow your wolves to begin to make some deeper connections with each other. As your body didn’t have any warning that such things were happening, it sends you into a dream like state as it attempts to regulate your levels once again. Archer seemed to enjoy that I was now unable to open my mouth and deliver him some snarky comment or even stop his attempts to draw closer to me and was taking full advantage of that. Laying beside me on the bed, he caresses my cheek with his thumb, a few soft kisses getting placed on my cheek and neck while I lay there with the world spinning around me. But I hated to admit it, him being this close whilst I was in a s

    As I stood in my place with the rippling feeling of sickness, I wondered if this was the mark continuing to do havoc on my body once again, but the feelings weren’t the same. In that moment, I felt as though I was going to pass out but also, throw my guts up at any moment. Having to place my hand to rest on the wall behind me to keep me up, I begin to panic a little unknowing of what was happening and if I was sick in some capacity. I didn’t even take the time to look at what Archer would be doing, my eyes tightly shut as I hoped I would slowly begin to feel better. “This is happening due to you refusing to eat or drink a single thing since arriving here! The mark which mate has placed on your neck has taken the last of the nutrients from your body, you need to eat!” My wolf demands in my head but at least was giving me the explanation as to why I felt this way, but the way she said would make me feel better, I didn’t want. “No! If I finally, accept the food and drink from Arche

    Jolting awake from my sleep, I discovered I was no longer in the room that Archer had set up for me, but to my utter surprise, I was somewhere else I knew very well, my own bedroom back home. Feeling utter shock rippling through me, I get to my feet and jump up from bed, the destination clear in my mind, I needed to find my family. Running out of my door and down the stairs of the pack house, I rush into my father's office finding him and Hadwin having some kind of conversation over his desk. “Great for you to finally, join us Fern, it took you long enough.” My father grumbled before looking back down at the papers in his hands, Hadwin sending me one of his smiles before turning back to our father, but neither of their reactions to me made any sense. “Aren’t you guys happy or even surprised to see me, it’s been days?” I ask looking at both of them with shocked expressions, whilst Hadwin just turns to look at me with such confusion on his face. “What are you talking about Fern,

    When I awoke in the morning, I had never felt so drained in my life even though I had been asleep for so many hours. The more I thought on the matter, the more I realised I wasn’t physical drained but mentally. These past few days had been a lot, my mind having to consume so much information whilst my heart hurt so much due to missing my family, this sending my emotions on a downward spiral. Pushing myself over to sit by the huge window in the room, I bring my knees up to my chest and watch as the many pack members get on with their days. What I couldn’t wrap my head around was how normal they all looked, none of them seemed to be the way I thought they would be. Growing up and hearing from my father what this pack was like and what they had done to my mother, I had always pictured this pack being a dark, decrepit, evil looking place where each person is as merciful as the next. None of them seeming to care about anyone else but themselves and this pack, a dark cloud hanging over

    Archer stood in his office with his arms crossed over his chest, the information that he learnt about his mate but also, the complete unknown of what his mate was hiding had been swirling around his head all night. But that was not the only pressing matter at hand, he and Emmett had just returned from an important meeting regarding his mate and the oncoming attacks from her old pack his spies have found out, each official advising him of what they believe should be done. Some say invade whilst others suggest using Fern as a piece treaty, neither side agreeing and only shouting abuse from one side of the table to the other. Emmett sat on one of the chairs looking through even more records to see if there was any way he could look more into Fern, but he kept coming back with nothing. Archer was more than determined to learn the truth, no matter how many bricks walls they hit. “I don’t understand why you simply don’t ask Fern why there is so much secrecy regarding her and her life?”

    Harriet returned a half an hour later telling me I needed to get ready, at first, I kept protesting as I thought if I’m simply staying in this room all day and only her and Archer will get to see me, what’s the point of putting any effort in? But she insisted and pulled me into the bathroom to help with my hair, telling me she had the perfect idea for my hairstyle. I could see in her eyes that she knew something but each time that I would ask, she would simply play dumb and not tell me a thing. This only leading me to question what Archer may have wanted to see her about, is this why she arrived and was so keen for me to get ready? After doing my hair and handing me some fresh clothes, she excuses herself and leaves me alone in the room with my own thoughts again. The main one which was swirling around my head was what could be happening, why was Harriet acting so shady after her meeting with Archer? Was she told of what was about to happen but not allowed to tell me for some reas

    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. 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
