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

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

Archer’s fingers went through his hair as he tossed and turned on the bed. His hands sought Clarissa, so she could make him feel better, but he ended up rubbing the bed instead.Groaning, his eyes fluttered open, and he shielded his eyes from the sunlight. It was already morning. Ugh!Time was indeed moving at a quick pace. He rubbed his eyes as he looked towards the other side. Clarissa wasn’t by his side, and he wondered where she must have gone. Slowly, he got up from the bed. The blanket covered the naked part of his body. The rain and weather had made it close to impossible to let go of Clarissa. He chuckled slightly. She was so intense in the bedroom. And, sometimes, he wondered if her sexual appetite was worse than his own. She could ride a dead man back to life.He giggled at his sexual pun. Clarissa was a breath of fresh air, and he didn’t want to lose her for anything in the world. He loved her so much and wanted her to have all the happiness.That made him wish to see he

Two days later, Archer and Clarissa sat at the tree house at the back of his recently acquired mansion. Clarissa remembered that Archer had told her it was good for their security. The hotel made it easy for a lot of people to come around, and it wasn’t really good for them. They needed to have some level of privacy in order to note who was a part of their group, and who wasn’t.“You seem so focused on that mail,” Archer said softly, as he sipped his fruit wine from its straw.Clarissa shrugged. “Not really. I’m just trying to take my mind off these last few days.”He nodded, as he slid deeper into his chair. “’ I understand.”Two days ago, they’d come back here thinking they would have some sort of clue on what her brother was up to, and how to stop things from escalating, but there had been no leads. Sam had practically lost the only lead they had without thinking twice.Now, they were stuck in the unknown. Clarissa didn’t like the sound of that one bit, but she really didn’t have an

It’s been a day since the incident, and Archer was still furious that he had been attacked by a hunter. He was back in his pack and was thinking of what could have made them attack him unprovoked. It was getting out of hand, and though, he knew Zachary had a hand in all these, he still didn’t understand why the men would breach the contract unprovoked. It didn’t make sense one bit.He stood up from the bed in his regal white outfit, taking his staff with him. He mind-linked Ryan to meet him at the council meeting in fifteen minutes. Archer knew his mother needed him, but he couldn’t dismiss the concerns that were arising.If they didn’t tackle the hunters now, it might get out of hand. He couldn’t afford to be hurt at this point when Clarissa badly needed him. He had to do something to protect them both.The walk to the council didn’t take much time. Ryan was standing at the door when he came. His friend and Beta looked as amazing as ever. Alpha Archer was grateful to have him in his
