33 SICK OR NOT

Archer POV

Wesley and I run the border of the coven in wolf form. Lazlo was driving me crazy about shifting for a run this morning. It’s been quiet since the day of the first attack, but I don’t trust that it will stay that way for long. That ba**ard Milo is too stupid to realize he is going to end up dead for trying to hurt my family. I worried when I took my place by Danica’s side that we would lose more vampires to Milo. Thankfully, the remaining coven members have accepted us and are fiercely loyal. Danica is amazing and I’m grateful every day that she accepted me after all I know about her father now. She is nothing like him. I feel her worry and fear through our bond, even though she doesn’t show it to everyone else. She is worried about my cousin, despite my reassurance that my family and pack will protect Ella with their lives. My Aunt Serina may be sweet, but she will go all mama wolf when it comes to her pups. She is a very special wolf and based on what we have learned, Ella will be too. I feel Lazlo start to slow down. Axe comes to stand next to us along with Bennet. Three men step off behind the trees across the border and I growl low. I can scent wolf, but they are definitely not rogues. They raise their hands to appease my wolf. “We aren’t here to make any trouble” the tall man with wavy blonde hair says to me. I shift and despite his size, I am still bigger and more muscular. I may not have the title, but I am an Alpha in every other way. “What is your business here?” “We are here on royal business. Our king has a vested interest in protecting your pack and the coven by association.” “What king do you mean?” “I believe we both know that there is only one king of our kind.”

“Why would the King of Werewolves be interested in protecting our pack or a vampire coven? I was always taught that it is the pack responsibility to maintain our own safety. The king only involves himself

in wars among our people or with other supernaturals.” He nods, confirming everything I just said. “How did they know we were here? Why didn’t they just go to the pack” Lazlo says. My eyes darken and I wonder if this is some type of tactic to gain our trust. Maybe they are working with that f**ker Milo. Maybe they know of the prophecy and want to hurt Ella. I would think royal wolves would scent differently, but having never met one, I don’t know. “Why would you want to speak with me before my father, who is still the Alpha of our pack? How did you even know that you could find me here?” He smirks like I just asked the stupidest question. “I’m sure you’re aware that the king is not an ordinary werewolf but a hybrid. There are many things the king knows about the Scarlett Rose, Archer. It is not an ordinary pack and he makes it a point to watch special packs like yours. He would like to meet with you, your sisters, and their mates to discuss his vested interest in the pack.” “I don’t mean to sound disrespectful, but how do I know you can be trusted? How do I know you are even who you say you are?” He waves his hand and Lazlo growls low. He isn’t just a wolf. He is a wolf-warlock. “I know you can scent my lineage now that I have allowed it. Had I wanted to hurt you, I could have done it before you even knew we were here. My brother and I mean you know harm. His intentions are truly pure for wanting to protect your pack.”

“You’re the king’s brother.” He smiles and nods his head. “My name is Maddox and we will be in touch, Archer.” Before I can say anymore, the three men are gone. “Holy sh*t, that was crazy” Bennet says. I can’t help but laugh. I turn to Wesley. “We need to talk to my dad and Ruby.” “Why the hell do you think he cares about our pack?” “Honestly, Wesley, I’m as lost as you are right now. Bennet, can you and Wesley finish the patrol while I go and talk to Danica.” “Of course, sir” Bennet says. “Bennet, unless we are in a formal setting you can call me Archer. You are basically the gamma of the coven.” He looks at me like I’m crazy. “Werewolf packs have an Alpha, which would be Danica. Constance is the Beta and you are the top warrior, which makes you the Gamma.” He smiles “I appreciate that, Archer.” I nod and shift heading back toward the mansion. I start up the stairs and hear a scream. My heart sinks and I take the stairs two at a time. I rip open the door to our room and Danica and Constance jump. Danica rushes over to me and wraps her arms around my neck. “Archer, what’s wrong?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Danica POV

I woke up alone this morning. It’s the first time since Archer and I have accepted each other. I turn to see a note on the nightstand. I smile and open the note.

Note

You looked so beautiful sleeping, I couldn’t bear to wake you. I will be back soon. Lazlo was driving me crazy to go on a run, so I joined the patrol. I will miss you while I’m gone and I’ll show you how much when I get back.

Love you

Archer

I smile and giggle, loving how sweet my beloved is. Did I really just giggle? What the hell is wrong with me? I still can’t believe that he is mine. I sit up to get out of bed and my stomach rolls. What the hell? I rush to the bathroom and empty my stomach into the toilet. Thankfully, my stomach is pretty empty, so it’s more dry heaving then actually throwing up. I head to the sink and throw water on my face. Vampires don’t get sick. I know all this sh*t is weighing on me, but I can’t believe it’s making me sick enough to puke. A knock sounds on my bathroom door and I know before I open it that it’s Constance. “Did your man leave you too this morning” she starts to say before she looks shocked. “What’s wrong” she says in a panic. “Nothing, I’m fine.” “Bullsh*t, your eyes are red with blood lust.” I look back into the mirror and I notice a red tinge to the white of my eyes. “Holy sh*t, Constance. That is far from blood lust. You act like my whole eye is red. I just need to drink and I’ll be fine.” “Danica, I have never seen your eyes turn from thirst. You are the strongest vampire I know.” I smile at her compliment.

I walk out of the bathroom and grab a bag of fresh blood from the frig in our closet. I pour it into a cup and take a long pull from the glass. Normally, I wouldn’t even finish the whole bag but this time I do. I put the cup down and join Constance, who is now sitting on my bed. “Danica, you are not responsible

for what our father and Milo had planned. You can’t keep blaming yourself.” “That ba**ard and our father are the reasons that all this is happening. I should have tried to figure out why he was so hell bent on attacking the pack when he was still alive. I might have been able to stop all this from happening.” She shoots me a look. “I love you, Danica, and you are an amazing leader, but that a**hole would never have let you in on his plans, no matter how much you pushed him. He never valued women and we were no different.” I know she is right, but that doesn’t make me feel any better. I’m just about to say more when another wave of nausea hits me. I rush to the bathroom but thankfully the blood stays down. Constance is rubbing circles on my back and I know she is worried. “I’m fine, I’m just stressed. Don’t say anything to Archer or Wesley”, I say giving her a pointed look.

“I won’t say anything, but I wonder if this is really stress.” I look at her with confusion. She takes my hand, leading me back out to the bedroom. “Danica, I have never seen you puke when you are stressed out. Besides that, you just drank a whole blood bag and the redness has not left your eyes.” I go back to look in the mirror and she is right. That bag should have satisfied my need. I walk back out with concern swirling in my mind. What the hell is going on with me? I look at Constance and she is smiling. “What the hell are you smiling about?” “I know what’s wrong with you. You may know all about strategies and running the coven, but you are acting really stupid right now.” I shoot her a glare. “What makes a woman puke and a female vampire’s bloodlust increase?” My eyes widen and I feel a little light headed. Constance screams and the door flies open, scaring the hell out of me. All my previous thoughts leave my mind when I notice Archer’s eyes are black. I rush over, wrapping my arms around his neck. “Archer, what’s wrong?”

Sherman POV

Brooklyn and I are in a room in Luca and Jade’s wing. I’m so glad he finally got his head out of his a**. Jade is going to be an amazing queen. “What are you so deep in thought about”, Brooklyn asks me as she lays Luna in her crib. I pull her into my lap. “How lucky Luca and I are to have found our amazing mates.” I press a soft kiss to her lips, loving how she feels in my arms. I’m just about to deepen the kiss

when a knock sounds on the door. Who the hell could that be? She hops up before I can say anything and goes to open the door. A guard is standing there with a worried look on his face. “I’m sorry to bother you sir but one of the rogues is in the hallway insisting he speak to the king. I was afraid to bother him so I came to you first.” I walk over and pat him on the shoulder. “The king isn’t to be bothered right now. I’ll handle it.” “Thank you, sir” I see relief on his face. I kiss Brooklyn before I follow the guard down the hallway. When we leave Luca’s wing and enter the hallway, Felix is pacing. “Felix, what’s going on?” “Sir Sherman, there is a problem in the back of the castle. Victor linked me that two council members are trying to take the former king who is unconscious, out of the castle. My blood runs cold at his words. I don’t even wait for him to say more. I run as fast as I can and link guards to meet me outside. I’m strong, but the council members are too. I try to get through to Luca without success.

I link Brooklyn. “Love I need you to go get Luca and Jade. Tell them to meet me at the back of the castle.” She doesn’t ask any questions and I couldn’t love her more for that. As soon as I break through the doors, I see an unconscious William being pushed into an SUV. Victor, Felix’s son, is lying on the ground and I can see he is burned. I growl and shift. William may be an a**hole but he is still Luca’s father. I wouldn’t want to see anything bad happen to him. Five guards bust through the door and head toward Ernest and Jacob. They close the car door. The SUV starts to drive off but I can’t see who is driving. Maurice, my dragon, takes to the sky and follows from above. After a few minutes of the SUV driving and making multiple turns, we start to fly lower. The SUV pulls off to the side of the road and we swoop down, landing next to it. Thankfully, William is safe inside but whoever was driving is gone. How the f**k is that possible? I can’t even scent the species of supernatural that was involved. I shift and climb into the driver’s seat heading back toward the castle. I link more men to scour the area for the accomplice that tried to hurt the former king. I pull the SUV back behind castle and Luca looks like he is ready to kill. Both Ernest and Jacob are lying on the ground, but I have no idea if they are even alive anymore. Luca pulls the door off the SUV. He scoops William up into his arms. I follow behind them as he heads for the infirmary. “Where is Victor?” “He has already been taken to the infirmary” Jades says.

Luca lays William down on the gurney and he is surrounded by doctors and nurses. Jade turns noticing that only a few people are with Victor. Without a word, she heads for Victor’s bed and begins to work on the wolf. I smile at how capable our queen truly is. I knew she was a nurse but to see her in action is amazing. Luca looks like he is a million miles away as he stares at his father and my heart breaks for him. They may not have the best relationship, but he is still Luca’s father. I place my hand on Luca’s shoulder, giving it a squeeze. He looks toward Jade for the first time and he smiles as she helps to care for Victor’s burns. Dragon burns are much worse than a regular burn. I pray that Victor survives after what he just did for William. Felix will be devastated to lose another pup. “She truly is amazing”, Luca says, watching his queen. “Yes, she is Luca.” He looks back at William. “He is going to be alright, Luca. Have faith in how strong and stubborn he is.” Luca chuckles and nods, but I can see the worry and fear in my friend’s eyes.
