Clarissa woke up sometime during the day and dressed up for the day in a mini crop top and fancy shorts. She was tired from this sex, but she was equally excited. It was almost as if everything was falling into place for her, and she couldn’t help the smile that touched her lips. She was so glad that all these were happening to her. Finally, she was happy.Archer had been remarkably sweet to her this morning and the early hours of the morning, and she was so happy about that. Everything was really looking up.He was right, she didn’t need to be too hard on herself because she was doing all she could to make the relationship work, and it will work. They loved each other, and they understood themselves too.Not many people can boast about the type of love she shared with Archer, and that made her happy. They were an unnatural couple, and they needed each other to make it work.Yes, she was hiding so many things from him, but it was for his peace of mind. She packed her hair up while loo
The power seemed to glow from Clarissa’s hands and pull her like it was a hurricane, and her fingers went directly to her doppelgänger. The force was enough to pull her doppelgänger from her feet and toss her on the tree branches.She came slamming back down.Clarissa had one thing in mind, and that was to end her. She didn’t care anymore. All she knew was that the disrespect was too much. She had to do something about it before things went out of hand.It was not just Archer who was in danger, she was also in danger. If she didn’t do something, everything would go downhill and disintegrate into a million tiny fractions that she could not put in a spot.She watched as her doubled and pulled back to her feet. Her eyes were blue and it was glowing too. Clarissa ran towards her with force and hit her on the stomach repeatedly.She had learned how to fight a bit at the witchery school. It was important when you were trying to bring someone down badly. She was about to hit again, and her d
Clarissa stared at where her double had lain and felt a sense of triumph. She had done it. She had destroyed the evil without too much work. She felt incredibly proud of her achievements. There were so many things she was, but one thing was for sure, she was not a weakling.It was funny that she believed that she would die if she took care of that bastard. While fighting, the thought had come to her, but she had gone on. To her, nothing was more important than Alpha Archer. He was her soul and her partner. A king and more, and she would never trade him for anything as long as she lived.Clarissa used a spell to blend the smell of death with that of rubies and lilies. She felt stronger and bolder, and the energy that hummed inside of her made everything look more beautiful.Later that evening, Clarissa set the table with spaghetti Bolognese and ice cream. She was so excited to have dinner with the man that had been chosen for her by the gods. He was her soul mate, and she didn’t think
Archer could barely sleep all through the night. He kept thinking about Clarissa’s reaction to his proposal that they return his pack with him. It was evident that she did not want to go, and it had nothing to do with her fear of werewolves.She was now more comfortable with him, and a few of his gammas. So, the problem was that she was hiding something, and he needed to find out what it was, but how?He turned away from the windowsill to Clarissa’s sleeping frame. They had made love again, and now, she was sleeping peacefully. He couldn’t put his hand on it, but she seemed like she was glowing in the dark. It was so weird but true.He shook his head. He had obviously had too much wine, that was why he was talking a lot of crap so confidently. Tomorrow, he would figure out the truth. ***Clarissa packed her hair in a ponytail and ran downstairs to meet Archer who had his head stuck in a book. She had realised one thing, and that was Archer was a reader.It made her smile because she
Clarissa slightly touched Archer’s hand as she made a move to distract him. At that moment, his phone rang. Without waiting for his bidding, she collected the album from him, together with the book.He was too focused on his phone to notice what she was doing. “I have to take this,” he said softly.“It’s alright,” she said calmly.Clarissa waited till he had gone out of the room, and placed the album down on the bed. There is no way she would keep it back in her bag, so there had to be something she could do.The book seemed so heavy in her hand suddenly. She heard the shuffle of his feet. Damn! He was coming soon. What was she going to do now? In a moment of anxiety, she placed the book back at the bottom of the bag, and though she had said she wasn’t going to put it in that bag, she was seriously running out of choices.She used her right hand to make a zen move at the same time saying some chants. It was quick and fast. The book became invisible, despite being in the bag.It was j
Two days later, Archer and Sam had just finished running through the woods and decided to eat some breakfast at Time-square in town. They shifted back to their human form and wore their clothes quickly.The whole place was abuzz with customers going to and fro. The truth was that the playful blue and pink color of the coffee shop was like a magnet to people.No one really cared if the coffee or the cupcakes were delicious. They only wanted to feel included. Though, the coffee shop served delicious dishes. So, it was a win.Archer and Sam decided to sit out in the open. They’d been running so much, and they needed the cool morning air to make their skin feel like it still belonged to them.The waitress served them some hot coffee and strawberry and vanilla-themed cupcakes. Archer really wasn’t hungry. He thought back about what had happened two days ago with Clarissa.The way she had flared up was not like her at all. It was almost as if he were seeing another person and not his mate.
Archer sighed in frustration. He was so tired of shopping, and he almost wanted to collapse. He hadn’t envisioned that it was going to be like this, but here he was carrying all these bags.“Babe, I’m home,” Archer called out.Clarissa came out of the house in a blue pantsuit and helped him carry one of the bags. Archer sighed in relief and followed Clarissa into the house. She was so sweet as she kissed him on his lip immediately after they had dropped the bags on the floor.“I have prepared your favorite dish,” she said softly.He grinned at her. I like the sound of that. She smirked at him and walked into the kitchen. Archer took some of the bags in, and then, he walked up the stairs to his room. He needed a good shower. He was really feeling so awful right now.Downstairs, Clarissa was done with setting the table. She was glad she and Archer had gotten past their initial trouble. She was definitely going to spoil him today. She would make sure of that.She chuckled slightly as sh
Clarissa couldn’t believe what she had just read. She felt like her life was disintegrating. Ok, maybe she was exaggerating, and for some reason, she thought back to what her doppelgänger had said about Sam. It made her shiver slightly.Had she been right?She licked her lips slightly, still holding the phone in her hands. “Archer, how far along are you?”Archer chuckled. “Babe, I’m still fixing this thing. I just hope that you weren’t right about me spending the whole day in here,” he said softly.She smiled. “You can always hope for the best.”With that, she took the phone out of the room and clicked on the message. It popped up. She glared at it in anger. He really had a lot of guts to tell Archer that he had some information about her.She texted rapidly on the phone, asking Sam to tell her what it was like if she was Archer. He told her that it was best they see, and discuss it because anyone could be spying on them.Clarissa informed him that she had no time to waste and that sh
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
