The food which was prepared for us was so incredibly delicious, there were items on the plate I had never even heard about before. In my father's pack, even though I was a part of the Alpha’s family and in most, you have cooks that prepare each of your meals, my father didn’t want Hadwin and I to grow up entitled so as soon as we were old enough, we made all our meals. I don’t know about Hadwin, but I knew I didn’t have the culinary skills to pull dishes such as this off! I thought the room would be filled with an awkward tension, Archer and I have only recently had the capability to sit in a room and not be at each others' throats, metaphorically and literally. Since arriving here, I have always eaten my food alone in the bedroom I now call home, so being invited into a rather posh dining room with an elegant looking table was certainly, different. But I had to admit it, getting to sit down and eat with Archer and discuss whatever came to mind in that moment was great. I knew we ha
Spinning around in Archer’s chair as I waited for him to return, I was left with a smile on my lips, I thought the first time I would do such a thing with a man, even though we hadn’t gone the whole way, I would feel embarrassed, but I wasn’t. I couldn’t help the feeling of pride which spread through me that I was able to make Archer feel that way. A knock on the door snaps me from my spinning glee, Emmett pushing his head through the door in a cautious manner in case Archer and I were doing the dirty in some way. With a laugh, I wave him in allowing him to see that nothing was happening in this moment. “The Alpha is just getting changed, an explosion occurred so he needed a change of clothes.” I explain with a little chuckle as he walked deeper into the room, a little shake of his head but a smile on his lips as Emmett takes a seat just in front of the desk, throwing a pile of paperwork onto the table in front of him. “You still haven’t said his name yet?” He asks sitting back
After explaining the once purposeless memory I did not even know I held, the room fell silent as we all attempted to understand the scene I explained and make any kind of sense of it. “What did the King mean, how did he help create me?” I ask breaking the long silence which clung to the room, Emmett shaking his head as though that would aid him on understanding. “That is something I also do not understand, it’s clear that your mother never had any kind of affair with the King, the most pressing kind of evidence is how alike you and your father look but also, your mother was quick to correct him stating your parents created you but the King had done something while your mother was pregnant that changed you.” Emmett explained after analysing what my mother had said, whilst I could only sit on Archer’s lap feeling so lost. “Could that be why my wolf is so drastically, different to any others and also, why my father demanded that I keep myself a secret to stay safe. As the King said
Once I had finished my initial cry, Archer instructed Emmett to begin his search into my wolf and what my mother may have meant when she told the King he had forced something into me when my mother was still pregnant. Whilst Archer and I remained in the office, he had some important paperwork to fill out whilst I lay down on one of his comfy sofas staring up at the ceiling, a few sniffles from my moment of tears escaping my lips every now and then. Normally, when I’m feeling some intense emotions which would lead me to tears, I would lock myself away in my bedroom, so no one would be able to see me, not even Hadwin. Even though he would look at me afterwards and see immediately, that I had been crying but knew better than to question. Since my mother passed, my father became an emotionless creature, so whenever Hadwin and I would show some valuable emotions, he would demand that we toughen up and would put a stop to the emotions. But as I sat in this office, being on my own was th
The loud thumping sounds of the door being smashed through jolt me from my sleep, my heart pounding in my chest as my wolf prepared herself to defend us against whatever attacker was about to pounce, I look around the room in a panic. As I went to sit up to get a better look at what we were facing, arms tighten around me keeping me in my sleeping position down on the bed. Due to my eyes being open before my brain had time to fully wake up, I was a little lost on where I was and who it was I was sleeping beside. Turning to face the mystery person a little worried, I spot Archer, sleeping peacefully beside me as though we weren’t about to go to war with whoever was on the other side of the door! “Mr Alpha!” I whispered pushing at his shoulder slightly, I didn’t want to speak too loudly in case the monster on the other side of the door heard me and knew the battle was to begin. But no matter how many times I pushed at his shoulder; Archer didn’t seem to be waking up from his slumbe
Once I was ready in my workout gear, I wave goodbye to Emmett and Archer, who still was half dressed with Emmett hounding at him to get ready before I left the room. I did worry that I would get lost in this new private lobby that Archer had shown me last night, but it was even more simple than the previous layout that I was used to and ended up walking out of the pack house doors in record time. The sky was slowly inching closer to the light as I walked through the path and towards the training grounds, but I had to admit it, I loved being alone with nature. It felt as though I was truly the only person around which allowed me my first moments of peace in so long. Yesterday, had been a lot for me to handle emotionally and mentally, I still couldn’t quite believe that Archer allowed me to have a moment with Hadwin. I knew it was exactly what I needed and fully allowed me to pull some of the bricks from the walls I have around me, perhaps it wouldn’t be a bad thing if I allow Arche
After remaining at the training grounds for three full hours, I walked into my own bedroom to wash up before I was due to meet Archer for breakfast in the lobby. A few more of the fighters after I had shut the first one up did try to kick up a fuss, but after the third punishment that each fighter had to endure, they all began to shut up and listened to each instruction I gave them effortlessly. After the fact, Greg asked me if I had made my decision if I wanted to fully jump in and become their regular trainer, for me it was an easy answer, after getting to see each of their progress in the couple hours I was there, I couldn’t wait to see what we could accomplish, so I agreed. I was now to meet him every single morning at 5am for my training before I train the fighters. I thought walking into this I would hate having to help train the individuals that hurt and killed so many of the people I called friends, but I actually enjoyed myself. I didn’t know if it was due to the feeling
As I looked over at Emmett who stood in the same position with his hands on his hips and a smile on his face, I truly didn’t know if I had any words. I mean I have always known since shifting and doing the tiny research that my father allowed that I was a hybrid, but I had never had the chance to look into it and see what. But now Emmett had told me I’m also half a sorcerer, it was as though my brain wasn’t fully comprehending what it was being told. “Emmett it is vital that you are correct, I have never heard of a hybrid of a werewolf and sorcerer before, you must be sure?” Archer asks speaking for me when I didn’t go to speak, his hands on mine as I sat there like an emotionless statue. “Of course I’m sure, I wouldn’t have called you here if I didn’t know without a shadow of a doubt who Fern was. Since you allowed me into your father's library, I have spent each moment that I could looking through any books of mythical creatures, other well-known hybrids to see any similarities
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
