Captain Archibald Novels & Stories

His heavy hand rested casually on his hip, right beside his worn leather wristband. "They aren't ready for what you're about to show them, Cassy," Karius added softly, his set lips relaxing into a rare, barely noticeable smile. "None of them are." I looked at the three of them—Elijah, the commanding leader; Chase, the passionate charm; and Karius, the stoic protector. They were three alpha hockey captains who could tear an entire arena apart, yet right now, they were hanging on my every word, waiting to watch me take over. The sheer raw attraction between us was a living, breathing thing in the room, tight and intoxicating.

He snapped a wrist shot into the top corner of the net so hard the black puck rattled violently inside the twine. Ethan slammed his stick against the plexiglass in celebration, cheering. Damon coasted backward, turning toward the stands to wipe sweat from his brow with his glove. His dark eyes scanned the perimeter until they locked onto me standing by the tunnel. Even from fifty feet away across a crowded ice rink, I saw his entire demeanor shift. The ruthless, cutthroat captain melted away. A tiny, quiet smile touched his lips—a private, subtle look meant entirely for me. My betraying heart gave a sudden, painful flutter. I couldn't help it. I smiled back.

But this was Vinn, he could see past what most people can’t. “Captain, you should give a speech!” Caleb yelled. I released the breath that I was holding, happy for the interruption that had come. Vinn glared at his teammates as they clapped, chanting for him to give a speech. When he finally relented, there was part of me that wanted to beg him not to stand up from where we were.

This caught him quite off guard. Meanwhile, the others paired off and began their own battles. Archibald faced off against Helena, whom he had been eyeing. "Pretty lady, just give in to me!" he said in a somewhat girly voice. "You're a grown man, why do you talk like that?" As a Holy Lord of Dark Divine Holy Land, Helena had encountered plenty of effeminate men before, but Archibald was the first to make her this disgusted. Hearing Helena's revulsion, Archibald dramatically covered his mouth in mock surprise. "Oh my, so you don't like me this way? How about like this?"

Arthur shouted face to face on the captain. Horrified, the captain suddenly dropped to his knees. Speechless on what he had just heard. He was just a newly assigned captain for the 12th squadron who guards the army on a marquess's domain further to the south west of the kingdom, which was near the Gluttire Forest. Most of the Captains were already informed through investigation in the selected few that Arthur had chosen.

Minutes later, Ichabod could hear a swift movement behind the shelves and out came a short man in a black tail coat and a large hat which made him look like all those wizards you see in movies like Harry Potter. “Ah! If it isn’t my old friend.” Johhny said cheerfully. “It has been a while since I last saw you. Are you having nightmares again?” “No.” Adams replied, “I would like you to meet someone.” He said, “this is Ichabod Nuel.” Johnny laid his eyes on Ichabod and scanned him from head to toe. A serious smile cracked upon his lips. “Ah. I can see you haven’t come alone young man.”

“Captain, have you seen the physician who was always with me?” “I apologize, Your Highness, but I have not seen the man,” the archer captain replies. “The enemy cavalry has damaged the rear greatly. When we were attacked, we could either die, escape, or run towards the rest of the army. A lot of our forces died, some were able to escape on time heading towards the direction of Macreigh, and the rest are here.” “Did you say Macreigh?” “Yes, Your Highness. The soldiers that escaped headed towards the direction of Macreigh.”

"You're alive." Caelan laughed. "Disappointed?" Alexander took a step backward. "You shouldn't exist." "Neither should you." The two stared at each other. Dominic looked between them. "What is going on?" Caelan answered. "Alexander was one of the first Alphas Blackthorn successfully conditioned." Dominic's face went pale. "No." Alexander said nothing. Caelan continued. "He was taught to obey commands." Dominic looked at his father. "Is that true?"

“I’m not mad at you Tori. You did what was best for the both of us. I’m glad you both are retired and that you’re with Adrian. I’m sure that you’re safe with him. You are welcome to the pack, for as long as you want.” I tell Tori, convincing her to stop blaming herself and to stop her from coming down to tears. Tori smiles as I say those consoling words to her. I hope we don’t have this conversation again. “Thank you Arthur. Even though it’s not possible for the long stay, we would come from time to time.” Of course I knew it wouldn’t be possible for the long stay. I just said it to stop the strength-draining, emotional conversation. It is said that when an Alpha retires from his pack, it is

"At the start yeah. Get close to the captain. Learn the weaknesses. Take down the name that killed my brother. But then you kept pushing back. Kept seeing me. Montreal changed shit. Your place changed more. I tried to end it because getting you killed was not part of the plan." "Yet you keep showing up" I said voice rising a little. "Every text every stolen moment. You sleep better when I am next to you. Admit it. This ledger is our chance. We do not have to tear each other apart anymore. We hit the real enemy together. Expose the owner the syndicate all of it."
