Clarissa stood up from her seat and looked at Archer in shock. Why would he take such a decision without telling her? It was so weird to her. Stacey’s words about Archer being dominant came back to her, and she was beyond pissed that it was true.“Clarissa, do you have a problem with that?” Archer asked easily.Clarissa scoffed. “You go ahead and do things without clearing it with me, and you ask that? Of course, I have a problem with it,” she snapped in anger.He touched her shoulders lightly. “Mate, I took that decision with your best interest in mind.”“It’s your best interest to throw me out of my workplace?” She asked in shock.He shook his head. “I did it for your safety. It’s important that you are ok. I want to make sure that nothing untoward happens to you. I need to make sure that you’re ok. It’s very important to me that this is the case with you.” She sighed as she looked away from him. She couldn’t imagine being without her job. Quietly, she took her purse and walked tow
“Come in now,” Archer mumbled softly.Clarissa dragged her box into the small cozy cottage that buzzed with electricity. She was really feeling so strange and weird, but she was trying to make it less noticeable.Archer had done so much for her already, and the least she wanted was to make him regret his generosity. Or, his feeling of love. She knew he loved her as he shouted it at her. She walked behind him, marveling at how broad his back was. The energy was spooky, but she didn’t care much about it. All she thought about was what Sam had said. She wouldn’t be able to see him anymore if he died at the time that had been specified.Time was speeding, and it was nearly time for his death. It amazed her that Archer wouldn’t say anything about it. He was the strangest man she had ever met, and she loved him so intensely because of this. She decided that she was going to do anything to save him.“You know, I like it when you look at me so intensely like that,” he said softly.Clarissa s
“It’s going to be fine. She would be fine,” the doctor said softly.He had been saying this for the past hour, but Clarissa had not woken up. Archer was incredibly worried and was about to shake the life out of the “Are you sure?”“Arch…” Clarissa mumbled, jarring the men to look at her. Archer jumped on the bed and held Clarissa close to him. He pulled back, looking into her eyes, and making sure that she was ok.“Are you alright now?” He asked quietly. She nodded, too weak to speak. “Doctor, please, do anything for her to be ok.”The doctor smiled. “The worst is now over. You can rest assured that she will be fine now. All she needs is complete rest, and everything would be fine. I will take my leave now.”“Thank you, doctor,” Archer said calmly.He nodded, and Sam walked him out. Alone, Archer turned his attention back to Clarissa. He held her and, pecked her consistently on the forehead. He couldn’t imagine a life without her. He just couldn’t.“I’m fine,” she said weakly.He sh
His tongue sought entrance into her mouth, making her moan into his mouth.Something inside was throbbing so hard and seemed to be trying to get to the surface, and somehow she didn’t care about it. She didn’t care about what she may or may not have seen these past few days. All she cared about was that a handsome man was kissing her so hard, and making her wet.It was all that mattered.Her fingers went around his neck, and she pulled him closer to her. Her lips parted slightly, and his tongue sorted hers. There was a battle of wills. But, she slowly let him win, and he pulled her in his mouth with his teeth, making her moan. “Arch,” she said softly.His fingers went underneath hers, and she was cooped up like a doll and carried over to the sand. She had no fear that anyone would come around at this time of the night.She only wanted one thing, and that was to be lost in Archer. Clarissa didn’t care who saw what. All she knew was that she was living her best life with her prince. He
Archer and Clarissa’s hands entwined together in the sand, as they looked toward the moon.They were both spent, but they couldn’t deny the feeling that they had toward each other. It was so intense, and pure, and it was real. Clarissa realized she had told him during the most heated lovemaking that they’d ever had that she loved him.“I want to stay with you, and not move a fucking inch from where you are,” he said suddenly.She turned to look at him, and their eyes collided. “I want to do the same with you. I love you, Alpha Archer,” she said softly.He leaned closer, and they kissed. “I love you, Clarissa.”Her heart almost exploded at those words. She couldn’t contain how it made her feel. She was beyond happy, and she wanted to feel full in so many beautiful ways.She pulled him closer, and they kissed once more, acting like lovebirds who couldn’t get enough of each other. Technically, they loved birds, and that made it, even better than it was before.“Let’s go in. I don’t want
Clarissa smiled as she lazily stepped out of the shower, and dressed for the day in blue shorts and a white t-shirt. She packed her hair up in a messy ponytail. That look always made her more sexy than normal, unlike some women who had tried to achieve that.And, she really needed to be a bit sexy today. She climbed on the bed with a sigh. What she needed also was a power nap. The marathon sex she had engaged with Archer was amazing, but it was also tiring. She felt like she needed to put herself back together for her sanity.She had succeeded slightly when she felt peppery kisses all over her cheeks, and jawline.“Arch,” she said fondly.“Beloved,” he said softly.She sighed in pure bliss. “I love you, but I love this sleep more,” she pointed out.He chuckled, which made her open her eyes, and hit him playfully on the shoulder. He laughed softly, thinking that it was such a fun thing to do at such a dicey point like this.“Arch, stop making fun of me,” she groaned.“I haven’t even sa
Instinct took over, and Clarissa felt her hand move of its own accord and then hang upwards in a stop sign.“Stop!” Her voice was filled with authority.Just like that, magic flowed through her hand and the surrounding turned blue. Clarissa turned to Archer, afraid he had seen her like that, but he stood at the spot in a frozen state.“Archer. Arch,” she called, but he didn’t turn.She turned back to where the spooky woman had been and she had vanished. She felt like she had transcended into an alternate universe. Nothing was making sense, and she felt a cold hand of a fear slice through her hand.“Oh, my goodness! What had she done?” She asked aloud.Clarissa believed that she would never forgive herself if something were to happen to Archer. She wouldn’t forgive herself one bit. She wouldn’t.Her eyes turned around recklessly, wondering what she could do. When she turned around for the tenth time. She saw a version of her coming out of a withered tree.Clarissa wondered how she didn
“Don’t leave me,” Clarissa cried.Archer pecked her on the forehead, holding her close to him. She held him harder, as those words came to her in full force. There was something in them that she couldn’t ignore. She had no idea where she would start when she looked through her history, but she would do it. It was important for her, and her future.“I won’t, beloved. I won’t.”He pulled back, and she looked at him slowly. Her heart was filled with love as she looked up at Archer. With the way he reacted, he didn’t know anything. Yet, he wanted to keep her safe, and away from the pain in her heart.“I’m so sorry for being so emotional,” she said softly.“You’re allowed to be. Now, stop apologizing for simply existing. I was telling you if you saw that skeleton over there?” He asked softly.She looked back at the same skeleton that had almost made the spooky woman attack the love of her life and sighed. Clarissa almost glared at it, but she controlled herself. She wished she could discus
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
