CLARISSA"I STILL HAVE a job to do, Archer. My shift has not ended yet, I can get fired for leaving the hotel in the middle of my shift." Clarissa glanced at her wristwatch. It was not even evening yet. "It's not that I do not want to go out with you, I just can not leave work now."Archer nodded in understanding. "Then as your new boss, I am relieving you of your duties for today. You can report back to work tomorrow." "I forgot that you could do that now," she said more to herself than him. "But even so, I will be leaving Stacey alone at the desk," Clarissa added. "I have instructed Sam to keep her company. Trust me, she will not notice you are gone," Archer responded and she chuckled at the thought of Sam and Stacey arguing with a guest over clashes in ideas. Putting those two together was probably the worst thing to do at that moment but she knew that Stacey would not let Sam walk all over her without putting up a good fight. With that in mind, she went into the staff room

CLARISSABEING LOST IN their thoughts, the couple ate in silence for some time. When Clarissa raised her head, Archer had already finished eating and was watching her eat. "You have something on your face." he pointed to her chin. She quickly grabbed the napkin and wiped her face, bowing her head in humiliation, and wondering how the food reached there. "I'm sorry, I did not mean for that to happen," she quickly rushed out. He frowned. "That's alright. There really is no need for you to apologise for that." "So, where are you from?" She asked, wanting to change the topic. "Montana," He responded. "My ancestors first settled in the state of Montana centuries ago. The land was given to us by the U.S. government. We built and developed the place into what it is now." "Montana is the state that no one knows what happens inside. There aren't any information about it, except that it is a state in the U.S. Does your family rules that state?" He nodded in response to her question. "B

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
