Archer and Issac returned to the pack at the crack of dawn, both exhausted.
"Where the hell is the canal?" Issac wrung out his wet clothes, "We searched around the water area of the island and found nothing.”
He pushed his hair back irritably, “Let’s just dress as the Dark River guards. We can drive a boat straight to the island."
"No way. We don't know the pack well enough to act as their people."
"Ask your mate! It’s her pack."
Archer gave him a blaming look, “It’s not.”
"Sorry.” Issac rolled his eyes, "How lucky my mate has a good pack and doesn’t have trust issues."
“Issac!” Lydia’s voice came through the mind-link.
“Honey! We’re talking about you.” Issac replied with a perky wink toward Archer.
It was Archer’s turn to roll his eyes, but Lydia threw a bomb to shock them:
“Kitty is missing. We need you and Archer
A reward. That was something she never had had; her life was more like a punishment before she met him. What would it be? Elena didn’t like Archer’s dominant attitude. But she couldn’t resist his temptation, and her own curiosity. So still, she talked as he asked: “Kittymusthaveshifted for the first time last night. ” She explained how she got such a conclusion according to her disastrous past. “You have a big security breach. ”She looked around from the wolves to Archer, “You appoint young girls as enforcers to station at the border, including those who don’t even have a wolf.” “Kitty is as competent as us! It doesn’t matter whether she’s shifted or not.”Ada protested. “Sure she is, but Kitty shouldn’t have been on duty this year since every wolf knows that the general shift happens at her age and the first shift will make her suffer.”Elena replied coldly, “Your pack is too safe for a
After finishing a new round of exploration of the entrance to the Full Moon Island, Archer burst out to the surface and floated on the sea, squinting at the dazzling sunlight and thinking about his Luna. She was in his pack now, training hard according to the training plan he had set up, with her wolf. More than a month had passed since the last meeting in the auditorium, and he still hadn't seen her wolf. From what Lydia said, it was a rare little red wolf, which he had only seen it once in his life, even rarer than a silver wolf. Crimson, cherry and orange made up her gradient coat color with a tuft of snow-white fur on her belly, just like his. What a sweet coincidence, they were just made for each other. But she just wouldn't let him see her wolf, even though he had made no reservations about her. In annoyance, he rolled over and faced down like a floating corpse, trying to let the sea drown his disappointment. "You don't have no reservations about her, b
Elena wrapped her arms around her legs, sitting in front of the French window. Tonight is another full moon night. The glass reflects her in the moonlight. Her hair had become longer, which she just found natural curly. It curled around her small face and fell over her thin shoulders, making her look so much like Eliana now, a beautiful doll, only she didn’t dye her hair blonde. Elena's heart swelled with mixed emotions when she thought of Eliana. Eliana andElenawere inseparable as children, doing everything together. They shareda room, playing games, chatting witheach other without reserve, and exchanging their imaginations about future life, especially future mates. Twins are telepathic, seeing each other as the only soul mate in the world. Eliana and she did the same when they were children, until Eliana discovered that their fate was in Xavier's hands. But Elena wouldn't give in, so she severed their mind bond. That was a f
Elena climbed onto Archer’s thigh like a nimble cat, never missing any reactions from him. The man beneath her couldn't help but tensed his muscles and breathed heavily when she just pressed her hands against his abs; his pants even bulged a spot immediately. She gripped the bulge out of curiosity, and Archer gasped so heavily as if he was startled a lot, “THIS would be too fast, babe.”He tried to pull her hand away but she stopped him. “You said I could try anything. Is it a lie?” Archer’s turquoiseeyes almost turned greenwith a turmoil, “No. But I’d suggest you slow down.” “OK.”The look in his eyes was unfamiliar, so Elena decided to accept his suggestion to avoid any danger. She embedded herself in his embrace with a hand climbing up his thick shoulder, and looked over it. There was a long scar on his back. “What is it?”She scratched the scar slightly with her nail. Archer closed his eye
When Elena woke up again, Archer was asleep beside her. They were both naked, sharing the same quilt. He contributed his shoulder to her as a pillow, two thick arms around her, a long leg across her body, like a little boy holding his beloved teddy bear. Funnily enough, they had intimate interaction for so many times, but she had never looked closely at his face. Perhaps it was because his eyes were too deep and too fiery, hiding feelings she could not understand or bear. But now, with his eyes closed, she could indulge herself without burden and take a good look at this man, who had been always considerate to her from the very beginning. He was perfect as a statue carved by the most brilliant artist. He had a square face, high brow bones and a straight nose, displaying an unmistakable manliness. He didn't have a beard, but he was obviously in good health with abundant male hormone. So only after one night, his stubble had sprouted, which tickled her as his chin pressed against the c
The two couples assembled at the auditorium. Elenafelt a little awkward when she met Lydia’s insightful eyes. Congratulations. Lydiamouthed ather with a slysmile, confirming to Elena that she’d been told about what her husband witnessed at their room door. Elena lowered her head, refusing to show her happiness, although her rosy face and pouted mouth hanging a bashful smile had already revealed her mood. “OK, everyone is here. And here’s what we got.” Issac opened an eye-link, which allowed Archer and Lydia tosee the memory video recorded and sent by the mermaids. “See the boat leaving the bank? Now listen.” With a swipe of two fingers in the air, he seemed to magnify something. While the others were staring at the invisible picture, Elena frowned confusedly, “Um...Sorry but please hold on for a sec. What are we looking at?” Issac turned to her with a numb face, “Xavier’s b
Elena’s conjecture was too scary to make her companionsbelieve, but she had a reason. “Xavier was never a good father.” With everyone sitting around a table in human form, she started to tell her previous Alpha’s story: Xavier had a Luna before, who was called Camilla. He mated with her because she was the best Gamma of the Dark River Pack. Her courage, battle-wisdomand maternal qualitywere exactly whatan Alpha sufferingfrom years of war needed. And Xavier himself hadbeen august, resourcefuland far-sight as well. Under his leadershipandCamilla’s defence, the Dark River Pack was so united and concerted that they could always win, not annihilatedby other packs trying to expand their territories. Camilawas Xavier’s perfect mate. But Elena didn’t havea chance to meet this busy super warrior until her funeral. Shediedin a battle for protecting her son Julian. He was
Early in the next morning, Elena, Archer and Issac set off for the Dark River Pack, while Lydia stayed at the Silver Mountain to continue her daily duties. Before they left, they discussed their division of labor: Archer and Elena would follow the plan they both agreed on at the intimate full moon night, to go deep inside the pack and rescue as many victims as possible; Issac would station outside the border forest, collecting intelligence from the Full Moon Island and preparing to and receive victims with the mermaids lurking on the bank of the Dark River. Upon arriving at the border, Elena metOlivia. "Hello, Archer's Luna!" The gorgeous and shrewd siren queen, still lazily lying on the reef,looked at her up and down before flashing a meaningful smile at Archer, "You're so lucky that the moon goddess didn't assign you a she-wolfunworthy of you to continue your suffering. " "I am. And hopefully I won't be unworthy of my Luna." Archer
