❝ What did I do to deserve you? ❞
❝ Nothing, nothing at all, ❞
Irene Rose didn't want to be tied down by a mate, but fate was cruel when she paired her up with an Alpha who would not take no for an answer. The plot twist is, he's blind and all h...
"He is treating me well, almost like a princess actually," I told her, feeling my whole body blush at the thought of Archer.
"Mum and dad still don't like him, but as long as he keeps you happy, I don't mind him. He did allow us to come to his pack, it is really beautiful here," she expressed out, looking around her to see what the pack looked like.
"I know mum and dad don't like him, they expressed it just then, I won't be surprised if they asked me to come home with them," I scoffed out, staring at my parents who shot daggers at Archer who was standing close to the table, talking with pack members.
"He did forcefully mark you, it's practically a sin to do that! Plus, he's treated you unfairly, but I'm glad you've sorted out your differences with him, I'm glad," she smiled before directing her attention back to Eva.
"Irene, your father and I have been discussing if you'd like to come back home for a while, you know, just to get away from being a Luna and all, it must be stressful for you," my mother says, my father, nodded slowly.
I shook my head.
"I can't at the moment, Archer and I are going out for a vacation a couple of days after this, then afterwards I become a Luna," I informed them, still uneasy about becoming someone so important.
"We know you don't want to be Luna, but it would be nice for you to come home," my father pressed on, trying to convince me to come home.
"Well I've accepted my fate, I can't keep running from it and I guess it would be nice to come home, but I have got a lot of responsibilities about becoming a Luna that it is becoming stressful," I told them truthfully.
"Is Archer pressuring you into becoming his Luna? I told you, honey, he's not good for her," my mother said, the last sentence directing to my dad who nodded in agreement.
"He's not pressuring me into anything mum! Archer may not be the kindest of mates, but he certainly is trying to become the best he can be for me. I've accepted him and even though he may not bear my mark, he is still my mate!" I exclaimed loudly, thankfully we did not attract much attention because everyone was minding their own business, but I saw Archer look towards me, worry lacing his eyes, I just nodded in reply.
"How can you be so sure? After everything, he has done to you? How could you accept him?" she continued stressed out, her hand clutching my father who was shaking his head, disappointingly.
"I am sure of this decision, he is my mate, the Goddess had given him to me. He may not be perfect in your eyes, but he is perfect for me. He's trying to help someone when no one helped him. After everything he has done, he's given my space, the kindness I could ever receive and the care that I've needed since I met him, I do care for him," I proceeded, my parent's expression not changing as I continued to defend my mate.
In the corner of my eye, I noticed Archer giving me a proud smile, obviously hearing everything. I gave him a small smile in return before he took several steps towards our table and came up behind me, placing his hands on my shoulders and rubbing in soothingly.
"Is everything okay here?" he asked my parents who gave him hard glares, obviously not like his presence.
"Everything is perfectly fine Alpha Archer, we were just discussing with Irene about her new life," my father said, dismissing his question quickly.
"Of course, transitioning to a different pack must be hard, but I assure you, my pack members are doing their best to help her transition," he assured them, rubbing my shoulders softly, relaxing me.
"Yes, but your pack members have been quite busy with therapy because of you, right?" my mother said, getting ready to drop the bomb as she sat poised and ready to strike when needed.
"Of course, but Mrs Rose, I promise I am getting my pack back on their feet, my family has been accompanying Irene when I am not there," he continued on, their air was quite tense at this time. My parents and Archer was having a stand-off by glaring each other down, but I knew that Archer wasn't going to do anything rash. Elena and the rest of my siblings were already gone, getting the hint that something was going to go wrong, leaving me in the whole war between Archer and my parents.
"Are you sure about that? You obviously have been incompetent to notice that our daughter has been isolated from the rest of the pack, we've been informed that most of the pack has yet to properly meet Irene until today," my mother told him, her right eyebrow perching up.
"She has been busy with her Luna duties, not only is the stress of becoming a Luna, but also getting to know the pack. She's been training with some of the pack members, trying to become a Luna for the pack," Archer stressed out, trying to reason with them as best as he could.
"So my daughter has been stressing quite a lot about becoming a Luna, have you not seen how worried she is? How has she been lacking sleep? How can you say you are taking care of our daughter when you have been gone for two months and not noticing the stress you have put on her?" my father reported.
"Trust me, I have been trying to let her off her Luna duties, for now, she is still learning and I have been trying to get her relaxed and comfortable since my arrival," he continued, his voice becoming firmer this time.
"Yes, because she has been so relaxed since you forcefully marked her," my mother said sarcastically and then everything went dead silent between us, the bomb had been dropped.
