Clarissa had arrived at her hometown, away from her mother’s knowledge. She needed to meet some of the elders of her family, and find out the truth about who she was. It was taking so much time to unravel. She was also very clueless about the whole thing. It didn’t really make sense that all these would be happening to her when she was supposed to be a human.There must be something missing in all these, and she would find the missing piece.Clarissa stepped into the Jones family home. It was home to her mother’s father. But the old man was late now, which meant that the majority of her mother’s relatives camped there.The gate opened even before she had stepped closer to it. Her mother’s aunt, Jemima rushed out and pulled her into a hug.“How do you know I was here, and I didn’t knock?” Clarissa asked suspiciously.The short woman shrugged. “It’s just a premonition.”“Or, you’re a witch?” Clarissa countered.The woman looked around in worry, and then, in one move pulled Clarissa int
The phone buzzed loudly.Alpha Archer shot out of bed. It had been a week of hell. He had missed Clarissa insanely. He went to his landline which was connected. He had made sure the whole place had been wired because they had to flow with the times now.An unknown stared back at him. Who could it be at this time? “Hello?” He asked tentatively as he picked up the call.“Archer? Baby?” Clarissa said at the other end.Hearing Clarissa’s voice almost pulled him to his knees. He couldn’t believe how long it had been since he heard her voice. He clung hard to the phone, closing his eyes slightly. Staying away from his mate was torture. It had to be done, but he wasn’t so happy about that.“Babe?” She asked once more.He leaned against the wall. “My mate,” he said in a voice that sounded almost primal.He could hear a moan. The sound of that was enough to make him so hard. He was so obsessed with being with Clarissa. She was pure magic and made everything so beautiful. He wondered what she
“What?” Archer asked as he stood to his feet, making his mother’s hands slide off his shoulders.Sam nodded fiercely. “Yes, Alpha. Another one of us has been brutally killed.”“Take me there right now,” he thundered.Archer didn’t look back once as he followed Sam out. He was beyond annoyed and upset about all these problems coming up. The worst was he hadn’t been able to get a specific person to actually own up to what they had done wrong, and that made him very upset. He was aware that his mother was behind him, but he didn’t stop her. If she wanted to come along, she was free to. He had no time to argue with her, or make her see things from his perspective. He was already angry because of all that had been happening.“Where is the damn place?” He snapped in rage.“It’s at the mahogany tree, Alpha,” Sam said softly.Archer broke into a run. He got to the place in 5 minutes. There were dried leaves everywhere, but an unmistakable scent of blood hung in the air. It was pervasive and
All pairs of eyes looked at their Alpha in shock. They had not been expecting this one bit. Alpha Archer looked around them. He could sense the desire to fight the battle. It was completely perfect.“Alpha, if they find out that we were a part of the people who want their death, they would stop at nothing to destroy us all.” Ryan pointed out.Alpha Archer looked at Ryan fiercely. “There is no room for fear in the Blood Moon Pack.”Ryan immediately went to his knees as Alpha Archer’s domineering voice rang out. He said nothing, other than writhe in pain.“Mavin,” Archer called out.Marvin stepped out from the crowd. He was a part of the omegas, and he was completely ruthless. It was insane how much power he held in his tiny body.“You will lead the selected thirty to the Wizardry clubhouse in the next community, and slaughter them all. Take them unawares, and wear masks. Ryan would spray you with scents to mask you for this job,” he said calmly.Marvin bowed to the ground. “Yes, Alpha.
“Don’t even think about it,” Archer grumbled as he took a shot of whiskey.He was back in New York after they had successfully done the revenge. He had heard about the absolute fear that trumped the witches’ camp. It was purely delightful. The best part was that they had no idea that it was the werewolves that did it.Clarissa had been right. He needed to believe in his ability to make the most as a leader. He had never had a doubt before, but his mother’s words had been taunting at best. But now, he felt so much better that he had done what he did to the witches.“Alpha, I was just joking,” Sam said with a smile.Archer didn’t return it but stared at the whiskey instead. Marvin had narrated what had happened to the witches, and how he had happened, and each time he pictured it, it was even better than before.“Alpha, I don’t mean to prude, but I would like to know something,” Sam said softly.Archer looked up. “Ok, what is it?”“Eh, when would the luna be coming with us? We can’t sta
Clarissa felt butterflies in her stomach looking at Archer. He was so adorable and manly. She almost wanted to call him cute with the way he had been looking at her, but she stopped herself.All she knew was that he was intense, and when he bit his lips while looking at her, she almost lost her sense of reasoning. He still made her blush, and feel things, but more than that, there was something else. Ever since she had been initiated into the witch clan using werewolf meat, and blood, she had gotten an insane craving for it.She pulled back almost at once. “I’m really tired. Can we go home now?” She asked softly.He looked slightly disappointed but nodded still. Clarissa was grateful that they could actually agree with something. It was too intense knowing that he was something that she was craving.His hands slowly encircled her hips, and against her will, she felt safe. She looked at him, and he smiled softly. He had not changed. The phone call had been weird, but he was still the g
The image of looking back at Clarissa wasn’t so fun. It creeped her out so badly. There was no way she was going to enter the shower with Archer when her back looked like that.He would ask so many questions that she didn’t know the answer to. She heard his footsteps draw close, and she quickly used the robe to cover her skin and turned to face the door.“Ok, babe. The water is ready. Let’s get in and get cozy and fresh.” Archer said immediately as he stepped out of the bathroom.She looked down and noticed he was butt naked and hard like no man’s business. This made her so worried. Would he be able to understand that she could not have sex with him because she…“What are you thinking about? Come on, let’s go in,” he said softly, moving slowly in her direction.She pulled back slightly, but he was faster. His hands caressed her shoulders slowly, and she shrieked away from it, in fear he would see the very thing she was trying so hard to hide.“I… Go and shower, Archer. I think I would
Clarissa took careful steps back into the room and waited. She stood in the middle of the room and crossed her hands around her. Her eyes were bright and fierce.Whoever that soul was would need to come directly to her. She would not fall for any more mind games because she was definitely stronger than that, and she was going to prove it.Her eyes turned toward the door, and she noted a misty aura coming right at her. Whoever this person was, she was definitely a witch. Clarissa braced herself for what she could feel would happen. Fear was the number one weakness of a witch in danger.A figure stepped into the room, dispensing the mist as if it had never been there. It was covered in hoods completely, and Clarissa struggled to see the face behind it, but she couldn’t.“Who are you?” She asked calmly.The figure didn’t say a word. She simply walked toward Clarissa and tried to touch her, but the energy from the portion made her bounce back and hit the floor with a thud. Clarissa watche
Thunder rumbled all throughout the house and suddenly, lightning struck right outside of his room. “Oh, goddess, I hope it doesn’t strike right here.”The lightning struck right outside his room. It cracked like firecrackers in quick succession.Archer stopped dead in his tracks, feeling as though he’d seen something horrible. Then, slowly, he stepped away from the door. He stood staring at the door, feeling uneasy. He didn’t understand why he was so unnerved or what exactly he could sense. His instincts were telling him to run, but he shakes it away, and walked through the door. What he saw in the hallway shook his core. Clarissa sat there on the floor in front of the bedroom door with her knees tucked to her chest. Her long red hair fell over her face like silk in a dark waterfall and her eyes were closed shut tightly. A pool of blood dripped from her chest onto the carpet which appeared black in the gloom of the room. He stood there motionless at the sight of his wife’s lifele
Clarissa and Archer sat down opposite each other at the dining hall as they dug into an apple smoothie and chicken rice with sauce. It was so delicious to Clarissa and she found that she was eating more than was required. Who could really blame her, it was a bit too much, and she liked the whole vibe of it.“It’s so good sitting here being silly, and trying to mind our business. I truly love it for us, and no matter what people say this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m glad I met you, babe,” Clarissa said softly.Archer rose her brows at him. She honestly didn’t understand what he was talking about. Though, she was trying to do so. It was so weird all the things that were being said today and she wanted nothing more but for things to go on smoothly.“What do you mean by this statement? Are you saying that there are some people who don’t want us to be together right now?” Archer asked angrily.Clarissa bit her lips as she realised what she had said. She shouldn’t hav
Who was calling right now? Archer groaned slightly as he sat up in bed. He pulled his hand slowly away from Clarissa and tried to grab his phone. It was sitting at the side of the door and he picked it up casually. The caller was his mom. Archer smiled slightly as he rolled out of bed, and walked over to the window. The morning sun was so refreshing on his skin, and he wanted nothing more than to have peace of mind at such a deadly time. He craved it so much. It hurt.“Mom?” He asked softly as he picked up the call.She sighed. “Yes, it’s your mother. How could you not call me even once to know how I was doing these few days? I’m always the one calling you every time. Yet, you answer the call like you have no idea that I’m the one. Jeez! How can you be so mean to me now?Archer sighed. He was feeling a bit bad, but it hadn’t completely been his fault because so many things had been happening that he needed to put under control. He wished that everything would be normalized so he coul
Later that day, Clarissa came back up the room. She noted that Ryan was leaving, and when she saw him, they smiled at each other. There was no bad blood towards him from her side, and honestly, she didn’t care about the majority of things, and one of those things was the present situation on the ground. Archer had been asking her what she thought about making a new legacy for Luna. She didn’t really care for that yet.Clarissa believed that he was rushing things too much, and trying to prove a point. Though, she didn’t know what point that was yet, she was positive that he wanted to create an impression by using her as bait.If he didn’t like some of the practices that Luna made then he had a choice to nullify them and make better decisions on the subject. Yet, he chose not to do so. Clarissa honestly didn’t care about the whole thing, and she was only trying to fit in because of him. If not, she had no business being here, and being a part of their home. She really didn’t care about
It’s been 5 days. Alpha Archer was seated in his room, wondering when he was going to officially make Clarissa the Luna of his pack. He couldn’t wait anymore. His mother was the only one delaying the whole thing.He knew for a fact that he loved her so much and that was on period. He couldn’t think of another woman who could fill up his life as she did. She made everything so beautiful and amazing. She was his rock in more ways than one, and he was proud of her for that singular reason. There was nothing as beautiful as the care that she exuded.Archer sighed as he walked to the mini bar at the side of the room. He took one of the empty glass cups and poured a shot of gin into it. He drank it in one swoop. There were so many things that he needed to put in place, and that was the troubles he had come from. It was not fair that he had to think of so many things in a moment. Clarissa needed attention, and he was not there to give her that attention. Archer really felt bad about this. H
It’s been two days of staying indoors, and Clarissa was so hungry and tired, but trying to put herself together. But, she was on the brink of exploding. This was too much for her, and she couldn’t understand why she had to stay there like she was happy.A knock…This has been going on for two days. The maids had been trying to seek her attention, but she was always turning them away. She was just sick and tired of their nonsense, and she wanted them to get lost, but they didn’t seem to wish to leave her alone.The knocks became persistent.“Get the fuck…”“Clarissa,” Archer’s voice rang out.Clarissa jumped out of bed in shock. Alpha Archer was back? She ran to the door and sprang it open. Despite everything, she couldn’t help the feeling of pure joy as she looked up at him. He was right here with her. She threw her hands around his neck, hugging him hard. His fingers slid to her waist, and he grabbed her back with shameless abandon. There was such intensity in the way he did his thi
The next day, Clarissa spent the day in bed. She could not sleep, but the thought of the witch's murder hunted her. The worst part was that she had to stay here and be careful as she implemented her plans.Clarissa shifted from one side to the other. She was not able to sleep at all. The thing was that she had the fear of being discovered by these people, and it would destroy all of her chances. Though it may look unfounded, it was not.A knock…She shifted in frustration on the bed. Could they just leave her alone for now? She hated everything that they signified for. But, the knocks on the door were persistent.Clarissa got up from the bed and walked over to the door to see Ryan standing there, holding out a candy floss to her. Really? After killing a witch, the next thing was to offer candy floss like it was such a heroic act. It didn’t make any sense at all, and she wanted to tell him that, but she kept mum. She would not wear her feelings on her sleeve this time.“Future Luna, I’
Clarissa knew that she couldn’t risk it. No matter how much the witch looked at her for help, she just couldn’t do anything. The odds were against her, and if she tried anything now, she would get it from the pack.She could only watch with pain in her heart as Ryan poured the boiling water on the witch. Her body seemed to cake with the effect, and they pour more things on her. Clarissa could hear the painful whining coming from the witch. It was evident that she had lost her voice.Oh, my goodness!“Luna, can you help us to cut off her hair? The future Luna of a pack must cut off the hair of a witch if she was caught in her presence,” Alpha Ryan said calmly.Clarissa wanted the earth to open up and swallow her. The request stunned her. She couldn’t really believe they expected her to partake in such things. She had no idea where Archer was when she needed him the most. This thing wasn’t funny at all. She felt suffocated, and like she would die on a spot.She could hear them ask thems
The whole of the procession went to a halt, and Beta Ryan called that they should bring the witch to the front of the pack. He was livid at the audacity of the witch to come to the pack. Did she want to kill one of them? He hated the whole process with a passion. He couldn’t understand why this was going to happen and why?Clarissa, on the other hand, did not know what she could do with the whole thing. She was so disappointed with everything that was going on, and she had no idea what she could do to salvage the situation. She was a Luna, and her opinion was not respected one bit.Two werewolves brought the witch over and dumped her on the ground like she was dirt. They had tied her in the worst way possible. Clarissa’s heart bled with pain as she watched one of her own being treated like an animal.Beta Ryan stepped forward and hit the witch across the face, then he grabbed her hair and proceeded to spit in her face. Clarissa's eyes widened in shock. She had not expected him to reac
