Twisted Fates NINETEEN
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
