“No!” Sam screamed as he was thrown up in the sky by the monster’s shoot and flung to the other side.His back hit the ground with a slam, and he groaned in response. This was definitely too much on him now, and he had to do something to make this bearable.He couldn’t afford to give up.Sam stared at the monster as it glided towards him. It was strange that no one had passed the vicinity. Yes, it was away from town, but at least someone would have come by, right?Ugh!There was no use thinking about that. What was important was that he destroyed this creature by its seams. Alpha Archer was not responding to his cries, so this was the best he could do to save himself.Sam slowly crawled, and he thought quickly about what he could use to harm the monster. He saw a red brick at the side of a tree and went to it quickly. His body was literally bleeding in pain, but he needed to do this. He couldn’t afford to give up now.With his hand closed in on the brick, and the tree moving in on him
“Please, let him go. I’m begging you to let him go,” Clarissa cried as she looked on at the scene.It was evident that the women did not hear her. They were focused on buying Archer alive. She could see her double and a strange woman in a weird costume chanting incantations as they buried him.He barely fought and was completely at their mercy.“Please, don’t!” She screamed once more.Clarissa's eyes sprang open in shock, and she slowly released her hand from the bedsheet. It was a fucking nightmare. There was something wrong. She had no idea if Archer was safe, and why he wasn’t back yet. Her double had not answered her when she requested to find out more information about the whole issue. She was seriously in the dark about it all, and she didn’t like the sound of that one bit.She turned the bedside lamp and looked at the time. It was 1 am. She placed her hands together and chanted protective wands to protect Alpha Archer and Sam. Clarissa thought she was a fool. She should have
“What do you mean that Clarissa attacked you?” Archer whispered and barked.Sam shook slightly on his feet. Archer watched him closely, trying to control his temper. He had come back with this nonsense after what had happened earlier in the day. It was crazy how Sam was thinking about all these conspiracies. They were lies from the enemies, and Sam was falling for them.“You can’t talk again? She was literally with me when you called for help, so how is she the one who did all this?” He asked in exasperation.He watched as Sam fidgeted on his feet.“I agree that she may have been with you, but she is a witch. She had come to me and asked me why I told you about her. It was her, Alpha. I wouldn’t share such expensive lies about the future luna, but this is indeed true,” Sam said firmly.Archer was stunned. Sam never told lies. There was something at work here. This was the second time that Sam had spoken about the doppelgänger. It would be foolhardy to ignore such an intense accusati
Somewhere in the dark of the night in the middle of the woods, fake Clarissa could be seen arguing with a woman. They were both in dark overalls and were visibly upset.“We need to move ahead to the second phase of the plan,” fake Clarissa was telling the woman.The woman frowned as she looked around. “So, the first part is a flop?”Fake Clarissa shook her head. “I wouldn’t necessarily say that, because I have sown the seed in her head, but it didn’t fulfill what we really wanted. This time, there would be no holding back,” she said calmly.The two women agreed to this and chanted their magical signs as a form of acknowledgment. The war was just beginning.***Clarissa sighed as she rolled around in bed. She was beyond tired, and she wanted to get enough some more sleep, but she really couldn’t. Her stomach grumbled repeatedly. It was evident that she had to eat more now. She sighed as her eyes fluttered open, and she looked around. “Babe?” She called in a small voice, but there was
The Blood moon warriors gathered around the monster in the cold chamber, poking at it with different equipment. They could barely understand what was going on with the monster, but they tried to pull their head above water.“I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this in my whole life,” Ryan pointed out, as he scrunched his nose in disgust.The tree monster was emitting a bad smell already. Ryan tried not to puke as he observed the thing. It seemed to him that it was part of an entity that was controlled by a monster.“Do you think that there are monsters like this around?” Craig queried.It was a stupid question. Like, the monster was literally in front of them, so what was the use of asking that again? Ryan couldn’t believe that there were such foolish persons that existed in their circle.“Craig, we are literally staring at one now,” Sam grumbled, with obvious irritation.“I don’t think that this monster is a single specimen. It could be the product of magic,” Ryan said firmly.Sam
Clarissa stared at the wall clock in the sitting area. It was 11 pm. She massaged her thighs in a bid to calm herself down. \Where was Archer?It was a question that she didn’t have an answer to. Heaven knew she was so worried about him. With everything that has been going on so far, she always wanted to make sure that he was safe.After the call earlier in the day, he had not called back. She frowned as she thought that she had missed the opportunity to ask him where he had gone. It was all because of her doppelgänger. With a sigh, she snatched the phone from the couch beside her and looked at her phone. There were no messages or missed calls. It was all blank. It was so unlike Archer. He always told her where he was going since they took their relationship a notch higher.She didn’t have an idea what she was going to do with his latest development. It couldn’t keep happening because she wanted to make sure he was safe. Her doppelgänger had openly said she was going to deal with Ar
Later that night, Clarissa woke up from a bad dream and tried to get some comfort from Archer, but he wasn’t there. She frowned slightly as she stepped away from the bed.This man would never change. They had spoken at length about going out without informing her, and he was still at it again. She knew he was still in the same house with her though. Slowly, she picked up one of his discarded t-shirts and quickly pulled it on.Her feet slowly made their way out of the room, and towards the living room. Everywhere was dark, except for the light coming directly from the moonlight.It aided her to move quickly. She was about to call his name when she saw his shadow standing right by the windowsill. What could be the matter? Why wasn’t he sleeping?She made her movements light. He was a werewolf, and they heard the slightest noise, and she was trying hard so that he wouldn’t know she was right there.Clarissa allowed her hands to move around his middle and placed her head on his back softl
“Ugh!” Clarissa groaned as her butt hit the edge of the bed.Archer shot out of bed at hearing her anguished cry. He softly placed his hands on either side of her and pulled her up till she fits right between his legs. He couldn’t think of other thing than to kiss and hold her tight in ways that he couldn’t put in words.“I want to laugh at you,” he said softly.She slowly hit him on the chest. “Don’t say that again. How mean can you be to me?” “I’m mean?” He asked incredulously.She sighed as she put her face on his neck. The truth was that he wasn’t actually mean, and she enjoyed how much he teased her and made her feel special.There had been so much drama of recent, and she had not been able to concentrate at all. Her love life with Archer was shaking and she was so sad to see it continually feel like she was fighting to stay afloat. She hated feeling like she wasn’t good enough, and that was what she was feeling now. Archer had done so much for her, for them, and…“What are yo
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
