Chapter Twenty-One: Duty

last update Last Updated: 2024-09-27 13:16:34

Once we had concluded our little adventure at the training grounds, Archer began to take me back in the direction of the pack house once again, letting me know it was now time for me to be put back in my cell like room. But even with that realisation in mind, I couldn’t take the smile which graced my lips off. This had been by far the best day I’ve had whilst being here, the many hours of fresh air and getting to look at the beautiful nature was all that I wanted, and getting the chance to show some of these men that pack members from my father's pack should not be underestimated was a great feeling too.

Even though a tiny part of me hated to admit it, I also loved getting to spend some one-to-one time with Archer, where we weren’t either fighting or him forcing marking upon me. I truly felt as though I saw a different part of Archer which allowed us to bond that much more.

As we continued down the path to the pack house, an achy sort of feeling began to spread up one of my legs,

    After the situation in the bathroom with Archer, he helped me out of the bath still without looking at my body and even organised some comfy clothes for me to change into, I was placed into bed by him with a kiss before drifting to sleep. The situation I had found myself in yesterday drifting from my mind. Waking up to the sound of two knocks on the door, I open my eyes to find Archer walking into the bedroom with a smile on his lips and fully ready to start the day. Feeling unusually tired, I turn to look at the clock and was shocked to see what time looked back at me, 4am! “Why are you waking me up at 4 in the morning?” I ask in my croaky morning voice, my brain seeming to not fully come with the world at this hour, I was still exhausted. “There is an appointment that both you and I will need to attend this morning, so you need to get up and ready, so we’ll arrive in time.” He begins to inform me but with how tired my mind was, all of his words drifted away as I slowly slipped

    Once I had gotten ready into some fresh clothes, I wonder into the bedroom to find Archer, laying down on the bed with his eyes closed, I guess he was also not used to getting up at this time. With a smile, I walk over and poke him gently in the head to see if he was simply resting his eyes or had fallen asleep whilst waiting for me. “Wakey wakey Mr Alpha, I thought we had an important appointment we needed to attend.” I smile still continuing to poke the side of his head, but suddenly, arms wrap around my waist, and I’m pulled towards him. Rolling me over so I was now laying beside Archer, he snuggles into my neck with that same devilish smirk on his lips. For a moment, I was a little discombobulated, not a second ago, I was on my feet but now I’m laying in bed snuggled up as though it was time for sleep. “Allow me to lay here for a moment with your scent.” He grumbles into my neck as I lay there staring at him, instinctively, my hand began to slowly run through his silky hair,

    It was as though my brain couldn’t quite comprehend what it was seeing and who it was seeing all at the same time, my feet causing me to come to an abrupt halt as Hadwin and I locked eyes. Such shock filling my face but on his, such happiness and relief now he had seen me in the flesh once again. Tears pricked my eyes the longer that I would look at him, I had sort of accepted in my mind that I may never get to see him or my father ever again, as much as it caused such pain to spread through me, I knew I couldn’t dwell on those feelings. But now he was stood only a few feet away from me, the hurt that I once felt came right back. I slowly turn my head to look over at Archer, who was already staring down at me as like he knew what was going around my mind. With a silent nod of his head giving me permission, I waste no time, bolting away from Archer and his men and into my older brothers open arms, who picked me up and held me so tightly. Even the regular smell of my brother allowed

    Walking back through the much lighter woods due to the sun fully rising, a very different feeling spread throughout my body than last time. Before, I didn’t have any idea where we were going or why we were going there, I assumed it would be to meet some people that Archer knew and wanted to introduce me as his mate, not my own brother! I had been so worried about my family since I left, I have seen first hand the dynamic between my father and Hadwin, there have been so many times I’ve had to jump in the middle before a huge physical altercation began to break out between the pair. I had worried that now I wasn’t there to be the referee, that one of them would step out of line and a huge fight would occur and with both of their mentalities, I knew neither would back down until it was too late and one of them was killed. But now I had seen Hadwin and knew that he was doing okay without me, it was as though I could let out a breath of fresh air and relax a little. Well until my fathe

    Archer walks through the pack house on the way to his office for the meeting with Emmett, the invisible rumble of such immense power as his feet continue to pound on the ground under him. Any person in his vicinity instinctively back away due to the black cloud of power, anger and such a pure outpouring of hatred which oozed from him like a deep wound, such a feeling that sent shivers down the spines of his enemies and strangers alike. But one thing which most noticed was different in that moment, was the smile on his lips. Normally, whenever the pack members would look to their Alpha, he wore a deep snarl on his face and truly, seemed to resemble someone you can only describe as a ticking time bomb, one wrong move, he could blow up in your face without warning. So, when people saw the happier emotion on his face, they all began to wonder if their new Luna was able to change the Alpha and his view on the world, all hopeful that the dynamic the pack has been under for longer than the

    After I had arrived at the training grounds, as like I expected, the trainer Greg began to ask me once again if I wanted to help train some of the fighters. That topic was still a sore subject for me as I truly, didn’t want to feel as though I was betraying my fathers pack and its members by helping the individuals who have invaded twice already. Seeing that I was still a little apprehensive, Greg begins to show me around the training facility and explaining how things work and what he would want from me. I do have to say one thing, the training grounds here compared to those at my fathers are the most advanced I have ever seen. They have an endless amount of equipment and open space to prepare any person for battle, in some ways, I wanted to agree to help just to try out the equipment. “I have to believe that with your training and knowledge, you would help our fighters strive to even bigger heights than they already are. It is clear that you have such an intimate experience of h

    I continued marching down the path closer to the pack house, the same lecture that my father would repeat any chance that he would get whilst I was growing up went around in my head continuously. I should have known the topic of my wolf would come up at some point, how do I approach the situation with Archer without him thinking I’m hiding something, which I definitely am! Before I could reach the steps to begin my climb into the pack house, my hand is taken from behind me, and I’m pulled right back. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was, I heard him following me the entire way back and the sparks were a dead giveaway. “Where do you think you’re going, we were having a conversation.” Archer informs me as I’m turned around to look at him, but I simply shake my head pulling my hand back out of his grasp. “I said what I needed to, I don’t want to go on a run and that’s final.” I tell him coldly before beginning my climb up the steps and arriving in the lobby of the pack h

    I remain where I stood staring at Archer for any reaction, but the longer that he continued in his silence, the deeper the fear that he was going to scream that he hated my wolf was all I could think about. Seeming to snap out of his shocked trance, he begins to slowly make his way closer to me, my entire body not moving an inch in case it sets him off. But when his hand reached over and began to run through my fur, the sparks which I always feel whenever we make contact were increased to such an intensity, I could have dropped to the floor. My wolf seeming to draw even closer to his touch, a smile soon filling Archer’s lips as he watched over me. “Sweetheart you are beautiful, I have never seen a wolf such as yours in all of my life.” He tells me still looking amazed which was the best compliment I could receive, being from him, it meant that much more. “You are truly the most beautiful creature I have ever had the privilege to lay my eyes on.” He smiled looking me in the eyes as

    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

    Once Alexander had agreed to speak to me, he sat back in his seat silently, by the look on his face, I could see he was attempting to organise his thoughts before he spoke to us, so I watched patiently. “I’m not quite sure how much you know about this situation, so to help us all get a better understanding and for myself to remember correctly, I will start from the beginning.” Alexander said with a sigh sitting forward in his chair after taking a moment to himself. “You were only a small baby when your mother approached me, I had visited your pack to offer my congratulations to your family for your birth as how many Alphas do when an ally gains another family member.” Alexander began to explain looking down at the table to remember, but what he said shocked me for a moment. “The Dark Warrior Pack and The Blood Moon Pack used to be allies?” I ask in a shocked manner, I had no idea before the death of my mother, my father and Alexander got along, I always assumed The Dark Warrior

    Once Alexander was chained up, we’re led off into one of the back rooms of the 7th floor, a place I assumed was for the guards when they needed a break whilst working down here. It was in much better condition than the cells outside, even a heater sat on the side which had been turned off due to Alexander being brought in, there wasn’t a single puddle in sight on the floor whereas back in the main section, puddles of old water are all you can see. Alexander was placed down on one of the tables, his chains wrapped around the table leg so he could sit with them on the table in front of him but not enough to moved. The King had to step out to speak with one of the guards which left Alexander and I alone with the guard which had been following us around in case anything was to happen. As I took my seat at the other side of the table, I watch Alexander looking down at the floor under him, his entire body shaking uncontrollably from the shivers of how cold he was. I know he’d done such

    My breath hitched in my throat as the darkness of the 7th floor truly showcased itself to me, I am not only referring the little light which could be seen dangling from the ceiling, but the sick feeling which clung to each wall. The smell alone from me simply standing in the elevator made me want to vomit, the stories regarding the flooding of the cells I was seeing first hand may not have been stories after all, the portent smell of stagnant water mixed with the unmissable smell of death and faeces even had the King screw his face up a little placing his hand to his nose as though that would offer some kind of blockade. “This way.” The guard leading us through this hell hole said, now also grasping a flashlight in his hand and switching it on, this light seeming to ignite slight chaos down in the cells before us. Loud screams, shouts and clanking of metal from the cells echoed through the tunnel like system, one I was about to walk right in the centre of. Following behind the g

    Once we arrived back at our pack, Hadwin, Emmett and Archer all stood waiting in his office, the same word of warning that we only had an hour and I was to give Archer many updates as to what was happening, was given to me before I left. Whilst the King and I set off for the dungeon, neither of us going to speak as I guided him out of the pack house and towards the dungeons. This was the first time he and I have been alone at all, even when I was a child my parents hid me away from him and ensured he never seen me even once. I mean he was the man who had sent men over to kill my mother, even though he relentlessly tells me how it’s something he wished he never did all of these years later. He was the one who put not only my family, but the entire pack into such a dark and sinister place, once my mother left, the pack we all used to know, and love was gone. While he could live it up in the palace, we were forced to live in nothing but sadness, grief and resentment. “Have you decide
