Clarissa sat beside Alpha Archer at the back of the vehicle as they headed to the governor’s venue. She was beyond nervous about the outing. It wasn’t every time you had a date with a big shot who took you to the governor’s villa.She doubted she will have this opportunity again. It was not like she had completely come to terms with her wolf side, but Archer made her feel so relaxed, and it was possible she could forget for a moment that he was not a part of the fantasy world that she was finding it difficult to believe existed. Clarissa spared a look at him. Who was she kidding? He was a true werewolf, and there was absolutely nothing normal about him, and definitely not his beauty.Her eyes traveled down the length of him and smiled. He bodied his outfit very well, but she couldn’t help but see that something was wrong. She leaned in closer, and she noted he went stiff.“I’m sorry I’m getting into your space,” she said quickly.Archer slowly turned to look at her eyes. For the firs

Clarissa felt butterflies tingle down her belly as she looked at their hands entwined together on the car seat. She had no idea how to react to it. Should she remove her hands or lean in closer to him? The butterflies seemed to intensify causing a tingle to go through her hands. Before she could react, Archer pulled his hands away from hers.“I’m so sorry… I mean, I shouldn’t have touched you without your permission. I mean…”A knock.They both jumped out of their skins and looked towards the glass flustered. Sam was peering at them through the glasses. Clarissa had no idea what he was mumbling, all she knew was that there were butterflies in her tummy, and she was definitely not herself.Archer mumbled something that she couldn’t quite pick up and walked away. Clarissa swallowed hard as Archer turned to her. She looked at him earnestly, and her stomach tightened for some reason.“We’ve arrived,” Archer said softly.Clarissa turned immediately to open her car door, but a touch on her

Clarissa felt her body shake in ways she couldn’t describe. Being in Archer’s arms was exhilarating. The most intense was the way he looked at her. She felt like she was the only one in the room.He swirled her around, and she leaned in closer at the end of it all. Something in her head made her wish he would kiss her. Despite his temper which was right, she wanted him to claim her, and make her his without a second thought.The thought stunned her, as she rose in the air in a sort of choreography. Archer looked completely immaculate and the intensity of his gaze didn’t seem to waver even for a moment.“I’m sorry,” she mumbled when her legs touched the floor, and she held his shoulders in a firm grip as they kept swaying to the beat.He angled his head sideways. “Why are you sorry?” He asked softly.“I stupidly left the party because I felt like there was no one I knew here, and I was feeling suffocated. I shouldn’t have done that,” she said quietly.He swirled her around once more, a

Zachary didn’t turn once. Clarissa had no idea what she was going to do. Archer’s hands on her arm made her acknowledge his presence. A couple of people were taking their seats, but she stood rooted to the spot.“Who are you calling, dear?” He queried softly.She couldn’t respond. Instead, she moved slightly away from him. “Zachary!” She called once more.It may have been madness to make him know she was right there, but it was definitely better than playing chase with him. She could feel Archer’s hand on the small of her back.“Clarissa, tell me what the matter is. You don’t know anyone here,” Archer said with worry.She turned to him slightly, her throat tight. “There is someone I know. When he comes just act normal and stay out of the conversation. Sit down, Archer,” she said stiffly.He didn’t obey her but stood by her side instead. The least Clarissa wanted was to drag Archer into her problems. She had come earlier to ask for his help, but she hadn’t dared to stick to that reque

“Come,” Archer said softly.Clarissa looked at him slightly. She felt so exposed to the drama that just happened. Normally, she would slink away, but Archer was literally leading her back to her seat, and she didn’t heart to refuse him.People were also losing attention to them, and it made her sigh slightly in relief. Clarissa hated being the center of attention, no matter what happened. She didn’t have the heart to tell Archer this though.As she collected a glass of water from Archer, she realized that it was ok for her to stay here too. It was better than being close to danger. Zachary was still out there, and God knows.“Relax,” Archer said softly.She looked at him and felt so much worse. “I’m sorry that I’m ruining your night,” she said quietly.He shook his head slightly. “Don’t be ridiculous. Having you here with me has made this night much better. Don’t think about anything. I’m here to protect you to the best of my abilities,” he said softly.Clarissa smiled slightly at him

The maid or servant unlocked the glass and brought out the diamond. Archer took it from her and turned to face Clarissa whose face was red as the whole of the partygoers were looking at her in amazement.“Do I have the honor of wearing this on you,” he asked softly.She swallowed. “Yes.”He maneuvered around, and slowly, she lifted her hair. His fingers brushed her neck ever so slightly, shooting waves of pleasure through her. She didn’t understand what was going on. “Done,” he said suddenly.His fingers leaving her neck made her feel so empty. She wanted him to touch her even more.“Thank you.”He smiled. “You’re beautiful, and it’s beautiful.”She blushed red. Without a word, he grabbed her hand and led her out of the party and towards their car.Unknown to them, Zachary’s men were at the party and knew what was going on. He informed his boss at once about the whole thing.*****Outside, the wind was brutal. Clarissa leaned closer to Archer in a bid to take his warmth. At first, he

“I think they are bandits. Oh, my goodness! Do you think they found out about the diamond, and want to take it?” She asked in shock.As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she removed the necklace immediately and placed it in Archer’s hands. He looked at her then. He was about to say something, but his eyes diverted again.The lights from the other car were down, but Clarissa could clearly see four men move toward them. They were holding guns. Then, as they advanced, she saw another man come down from the car.The first four took their position in front of Archer’s car, and then, the other man moved through their midst.Zachary?Clarissa couldn’t believe that her brother was standing right in front of them with guns cocked. She knew he was dangerous, but this was definitely the limit to it all.Taking a deep breath, she decided that the best thing they could do was talk to him and this madness would stop. She looked at Archer and could see he was seething.“I’m so sorry that I dragg

“What the fuck!” He said in front.And, almost at once, he turned everywhere, cocking the gun everywhere and looking for who to kill. Clarissa was shocked at it all, but she couldn’t help the smile that touched her lips. Alpha Archer was not dead.Zachary kept cocking the gun in almost every direction. And, when they thought that things wouldn’t get creepier. A howl sounded, then another in quick succession.The night seemed to have taken a drastic turn. Clarissa knew it was Archer. She knew it without being told twice. This night was the longest night of her life, but somehow she liked it was happening this way.She needed Zachary to get out of her life for good, and maybe this would be a way for it to happen. Knowing that Archer was ok gave her more strength than she could have possibly put into words.“What the fuck is going on?” Zachary shouted.Beneath it, she tasted fear.At that exact moment, the lights that shone from the car went off, and the only light in the night was the s
