CLARISSA

"IT MARVELS ME when you say things like this without making it sound like you are lying to me.

"During those times I find myself believing in your words, even though, maybe I should not, because we have only just met. Worst of all, no matter how I try, I can't read you," she sighed.

Archer nodded in understanding. "You do not have to worry about reading me anymore because all your questions will be answered. But before that, I want you to promise to keep an open mind."

Clarissa would be lying if she said she was not freaked out a bit. She did not know what to expect and the uncertainty made her worry.

However, seeing him so nervous and worried was unsettling, so, regardless of how she was feeling, she plastered a reassuring smile on her face.

"As long as you are not a spy, a murderer, a rapist or a criminal, I think the rest can be understood."

Archer shot her a thankful smile but she could still see the anxiousness behind it. It still lingered, even as he started speaki

    ARCHERAS THE CAR arrived at the hotel, Archer took his mate up to his penthouse. He placed her on the huge bed which seemed to make her appear smaller than she was. Time flew by slowly with Archer not leaving Clarissa's side for a second. Sitting beside her on the chair beside the bed, he could not believe how incredibly fragile she looked at that moment. It made him think that if he held her a little too hard, he would break her. "So small, yet so powerful, " Archer whispered. Although she was not aware of it yet, she held the power to bring him to his knees. The protective feelings from his wolf seemed to have increased overnight. Hunter was not one to show up and let his feelings show but at that moment, Archer could feel Hunter's anger like it was his own emotion. Hunter was angry at itself and the Alpha King for causing their mate to be this way, even though it understood Archer's intentions were not intended to cause harm. Archer took her left hand into his, noticing how

    CLARISSACLARISSA LISTENED TO his words, letting her mind drift at the sound of his voice, and feeling the rise and fall of his chest. She wondered why despite everything he just told her, she was still so calm. Perhaps it was the magic in his voice that compelled her to calmly listen to him. "One day, the Alpha King of all wolves visited a neighbouring pack to help them solve a rogue problem when he scented the most beautiful scent. He traced it to the daughter of the pack doctor. "The cold-hearted King fell in love at first sight and took the female back home with him as his Luna Queen. They were the first mates in history. Later on, more mates were found and wolves stopped taking humans as wives. "The existence of mates changed the wolves as all werewolves waited and searched for their soulmates. Every wolf has a soulmate gifted to them by the moon Goddess. "And that soulmate is who we are destined to spend the rest of our lives with. Our mates are our weakness; they live and w

    CLARISSAAS CLARISSA CHANGED into another set of clothes, she wondered what could be the reason for her mother's strange behaviour. Clarissa knew Tessa to be a temperamental and short-tempered person but Tessa was always straightforward about what she wanted and did not want. Not once did Tessa try to control her life. Besides showing up once in a while, Tessa pretty much left Clarissa alone. Even when Clarissa would act up to get her mother's attention, Tessa would never reprimand or punish her. Everything Clarissa knew was taught by her aunt, Caroline. At the age of fourteen, Clarissa just stopped caring. "You did not come home last night," Tessa said from the door. "Where were you and who were you with?"Sighing, Clarissa veered around to face her blank-faced mother with her own blank face on. "Don't you think you are seventeen years too late to be a mother and ten years too late to care?" Clarissa asked, not intending to sound taunting but she did anyway. Tessa looked taken

    CLARISSASTARING AT THE woman in front of her, Clarissa was unable to recognise the woman who gave birth to her. From the start, she knew her mother loved her adopted son more but Clarissa never imagined her mother would deliver her to Zachary this way. With hurt-filled eyes, Clarissa poured out her thoughts and emotions. "You know what, Mother, I tried so hard to convince myself that you sending me away was not because you hated me but because I was not good enough. "It took a long time for me to build my self-confidence which your so-called family brutally smashed. "I endured the blame for being weak, I endured the pain of being sent away, and I endured the judgement from members of the town. "What I refuse to endure is that once again, I have to accept and give up my freedom and happiness for the very same people who did not care about me to begin with."You are the most selfish person I have ever met and the only thing I regret is being born from your womb. You should have j

    ARCHERFROM THE OUTSIDE, it looked like nothing out of the ordinary was going on but no one would expect what was going on under the layers of the abandoned underground parking lot. Archer arrived at the entrance of the fighting ring with Sam and another soldier named Greg. At that moment, Archer was not the King of werewolves but a wealthy businessman slash underground lord, called Diviner. They passed through the hallway that was seemingly empty but with his wolf's eyes, Archer could see the scanners and cameras all around. If an unregistered person was to pass through the hallway, they certainly would not pass the first scanner before surrounded by security. At the end of the hallway, a buff man stood in front of a door. He was dressed too casually to look like a security guard. "Name," the man growled. "Diviner," Sam responded. "G-code," he growled again and Archer almost chuckled. If that was what humans called a growl then they really needed to be educated on what growli

    ARCHERSAM TOOK ARCHER'S jacket and Archer climbed up to the ring and stood by the side, leaning against the edge of the rope and rolling up the sleeves of the white shirt. Mayhem came to stand face to face with Archer. Sam was right, this fighter had no scent. Mayhem stared Archer down, obviously trying to scare him but failed miserably as Archer's blank stare did not waver. When Mayhem saw that he failed to intimidate Archer, he moved back to the opposite side of the room, resigning to glare at Archer from the distance. Then, the announcer walked up to Archer and asked for his name. "Diviner." The announcer went back to the middle of the ring. "The last match for today would be between our Champion, Mayhem and the brave Diviner!" The crowd erupted in more cheers and the announcer stepped out of the ring as the bell was rung. Like before, Mayhem rushed at Archer first but Archer saw his intention before he moved, and stepped out of the way. But to Archer's surprise, Mayhem h

    ARCHER "SAM, WHAT DID you find out about the clinic?" Archer asked. "Alpha, you were right in thinking the fighter was not fully human. He probably was, some time ago but someone is making him into something else. "When you made his nose bleed, I know you smelled the scent of vampire blood and that irritated your wolf. "Once Mayhem was taken into the room before the door closed, I was hit with the scent of blood and it was not just any kind of blood, it was the blood of a vampire. "I suspect that they are replacing the blood in his veins with the blood of a vampire," Sam explained. Archer nodded. "I thought as much. It seems like the blood is beginning to effect. "They must have drained him of all the blood in his body and replaced it with vampire blood. However, for this to work, it must have been done over a long period. ""But isn't it that the blood of a vampire turns to dust once it leaves the body of the vampire?" Greg asked in confusion. "True and that is why I think th

    CLARISSA"S... S... STAY B... BACK," Clarissa stuttered, fearfully pointing her index finger at a smirking Zachary who appeared in front of her, as she shuffled back. "Too late now, little Rose. You lost your chance to bargain when you disobeyed my orders in the first place," Zach calmly said and in a blink of an eye, his smile vanished. Without thinking, Clarissa took off, trying to rush past Zach and possibly catch him off guard.However, it seemed like he was already prepared for whatever stunt she might pull as he kicked the door close and grabbed her at the same time. He began carrying a struggling Clarissa into her living room."Let go of me now, Zachary!" Clarissa demanded. He deposited her onto the couch and stood over her. Clarissa tried to stand up again but he held her arm, pushing her back onto the couch. He breathed out exasperated, sounding like he was tired of her. Clarissa hoped he would get annoyed and go away. "Save your strength, Rosette, I will grab you befor

    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
