Archer

I fucked up. I see it in hindsight. My words ruined that moment for her. I shouldn’t care. Caring is a weakness I can’t afford, but I can’t stop the mournful howl of my wolf as I run the perimeter of my pack lands. My wolf is angry at me. He doesn’t understand why our mate is upset. He runs on instinct and his instinct is telling me that I fucked up. I should care about my mates happiness do anything to keep her happy.

No howls respond to mine and it makes him even angrier. His mate should care about his sorrow but refuses to answer our call and he’s blaming me but I can’t say that he’s wrong. I shouldn’t have put my expectations on her while she was still so happy after our mating. It was dumb and she was absolutely right that I did it to put distance between us.

In the moments after I claimed her as mine my thoughts swirled with all the possibilities. We could have a good life together as the alpha pair of our pack. When the thought crossed my mind that I could even grow to love her a stern voice in my head had mocked me saying love is a weakness and only fools suffered from it.

I shut down all thoughts of the future and what it could bring and did the one thing I know how to do. I ruined the moment became the cold unfeeling alpha. She had been absolutely right to respond in kind and I found myself admiring her strength once again. She doesn’t fear me the way others do and speaks her mind when she knows something is bullshit.

Just the memory of her telling me she’d never been touched causes my body to lock up tight. I ruined that memory for her and my wolf howls again at the thought.

“What are you doing, Archer?” Angela asks from behind me and I growl as I turn toward her. I can’t believe I let my guard down and she was able to sneak up on me like that. I need to get out of my head.

She tosses a backpack to the ground at my feet and I realize she wants me to shift. I shake my head without thought. My wolf isn’t ready to turn back but the way he’s acting I have little choice. “C’mon, Archer. You need to talk to someone, so shift and talk. Why aren’t you with your mate?”

Finally my wolf calms enough to take back control and I shift grabbing for the backpack and grabbing the gray sweatpants and pulling them on. I run my hand through my hair roughly looking up at the night sky. Clouds are moving in and it’s such a contrast to the bright clear night it was merely hours ago.

“I let her know my expectations as alpha female and she got mad and asked to go back to my room.” My tone is hard and cold but Angela doesn’t even flinch.
