Twisted Fates FORTY-SIX
Clarissa sighed in frustration. She wanted to live. She wanted to see Archer for one last time. The urge was intense. It snuffed her senses and made her restless. She tried to move, but at the same time, Zachary turned his face toward her. She could see the cuts on his forehead, which made her gag. It was almost like a deep gash. But, what frightened her the most was that she was trapped, and he wasn’t about to let her go so easily.She tried harder to get herself free but failed.“Stop trying. You’re hurt. I will get us out of here,” he said softly.She shook her head fiercely, causing her head to spin so hard. “You won’t do that. I won’t let you get to me, because this is all your fault. What was the need to do all these?” She cried.Zachary grunted as he tried to bring his legs out from the under-seat, but he was trapped. He couldn’t move an inch. Clarissa could hear his heartbeat surprisingly. She knew then, that he was afraid, but she didn’t care. She only wished she could get o

Archer watched as Clarissa fainted. He growled in the night in rage and anger. All he wanted was to keep her safe, and not harm her. He wanted her in the best condition ever. “Take care of her,” he mind-linked Sam as he looked towards the road. “Yes, Alpha,” Sam bowed his head to the ground.Archer moved quickly, only to hear a scream. He was torn between going after Zachary and staying closer to Clarissa. He turned his head slightly behind and noted that she was trying to free herself from Sam. Her scream was so hysterical that it tugged at his heart.“Let her go,” he mind-linked almost at once.Sam placed her on the cold earth using his mouth. Archer watched as she picked herself up on the floor, and ran so fast. He had no idea what he was going to do to stop her. She wasn’t slowing down, and it would be risky to change to his human form in this situation. He growled as he turned his head in the direction that Zachary had vanished in.He would get him later, but now, he needed Cl

It’s been two days, and Clarissa wasn’t eating properly. She had been discharged from the hospital and was cooped in her apartment. The hotel manager had been kind enough to give her some days off, and she wasn’t about to take that for granted.But, still, she felt so hollow. Archer had not called even once. She had no idea where he was, and what he was doing. It drove her half mad. She had not expected that she would feel his absence so deeply.She had grown accustomed to being with him and the last two days didn’t feel like they belonged to her. If she knew where she would be able to meet him, she would have gone there. She knew that the hotel was the best place he could, but she wouldn’t go there.She didn’t have the courage. Clarissa stared at the TV blankly. It was nice to have a device at home that took your mind away from certain things, but she wasn’t feeling it so much this afternoon.Everywhere felt clogged, and she was on the brink of losing control of all her inhibitions.

“God, where is this man?” Clarissa shot out in frustration.She dialed his number once more, and it went to voicemail. She slammed the phone on the nearby desk in frustration. She had no idea why this was going on like this. The thought of something happening to him almost crippled her. She wasn’t sure she would be able to take that if that were to happen. She took a deep breath and decided to leave the house. She needed to clear her head. So many things were happening that she didn’t understand. She didn’t know when she became so attached to Archer. She didn’t understand anything, and worse, he wasn’t here to listen to her worries, and pacify her like he always does.She grabbed her black coat from one of the doors, and then, walked out of the door. She wasn’t sure where she was headed, but anywhere was better than stewing at home, and wondering what was going on with her.She crossed the intersection and stepped into a park. There were kids aged ten to twelve running around and jus

The question hung in the hair between them. It was a good question, but once again, there was tension between them. Archer walked over to one of the benches at the park. It was evening now, and the kids and their families had all gone home. Clarissa watched him closely. He didn’t seem like his normal self.She walked slowly to him and sat down beside him. She wasn’t sure if she should hold his hands or not. It was a weird feeling because they had hugged so deeply moments ago.“I went home,” he said flatly.Clarissa sighed. That one statement didn’t seem to be coming from a place of happiness. What could have happened? Archer always spoke about his people and country with so much love. Then, why did he look so gloomy all of a sudden?Clarissa sighed, and she slowly enclosed his hands with hers. The electricity she felt was so intense, but she didn’t pull her hands back. She didn’t wish to, and she felt so safe sitting there, right beside him.“Tell me, what was the matter? You don’t l

Clarissa’s fingers grazed the rare diamond necklace that sparkled like the sun as she used the other hand to stir the lasagna and broccoli concoction she wanted to eat for dinner.“I really can’t believe that he gave me all these?” She said more to herself than anyone else.A smile lingered on her lips as she remembered how Archer had given her the necklace a day before. “Close your eyes,” he had said softly.She had pouted sweetly, not wishing to be so obedient all of a sudden. She had to stress him slightly for leaving without informing her, and there was no other mischievous way that she could think to do it.“Come on, Clarissa,” he said softly.“I don’t want to. It’s so dark out. What if you…”His fingers clasped on her eyes, and she shut them on impulse, her smile going bigger. He just knew how to get what he wanted no matter how much she whined.“That’s cheating,” she whined.“Ah, that’s all fair then,” he teased.Clarissa couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped her lips.

Sweat tickled down Clarissa’s hair and face. Her body jerked from left to right as her hands clutched at the thin mattress. Her eyes were shut tight and she could barely see what was in front of her. All she knew was that there was so much intensity and darkness that was around.The windows flapped and the lights had gone out, leaving just darkness to reign. Her lips formed an o, but no words were uttered. It was simply a relentless turning and jerking of the body.Suddenly, her hands went to her necklace, and then, went back to clenching the sheets. In minutes, the light glowed, illuminating the whole room in so many colors.Clarissa sat up in bed with a start, and the light died immediately. Her fluttered to the necklace, as her heart pounded erratically. What was that?It was the scariest dream she had ever had. The worst was that she wasn’t even sure it was a dream. It had felt so real to be one. It felt like it was a part of her soul and body. Like, someone was trying to tell he

The bark of a dog disrupted the trance that Clarissa had stepped into. Her fingers slightly uncurled from the knock, and then, she turned. It was like she didn’t see anything at first, and the overly bright area had turned dark.But as her eyes adjusted, she realized that there was a stream of light coming from somewhere around the area. The dog barked once more jolting her slightly. She looked down, and caught the blue eyes of a dog looking right at her, as she kept barking. Clarissa swallowed the sudden lump in her throat.“Tommy, what are you doing out there?” A voice echoed through the walls.Clarissa turned and found herself staring at a cop. He was looking at the dog, obviously unaware that someone else was in the ally with him. Clarissa swallowed hard as she looked right at him.The dog barked again.This time, its owner followed his gaze to Clarissa. She noted the frown on the cop’s face and watched with a sigh as he pointed the torch everywhere around her like he wanted to b

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
