➸ CHAPTER 10
Archer Black's POV

I wanted Kendra. Badly.

I was desperate for her.

My wolf would send some projections of us together in an intimate position. It's frustratingly pleasurable.

I'm positive that Kendra hates me for what had happened. Basically, she hates me for all the shit I put her through. I can't believe I just realized this now. I'm so stupid.

I decided to change into some white buttoned down shirt, sleeves stopped around my elbows, paired it with some black pants and dark brown boots. I checked my appearance at the mirror.

I guess I look damn good.

'Don't get too cocky. Do you think our mate will like our appearance?' My wolf said popping my happy bubble. I didn't think of that!

I started to get self-conscious. Would she like it? Would she forgive me now? I brushed that thought away first.

I went to my mother and father's chambers to bid them goodbye and to wish me luck. I'm going to need it. I opened my garage and hopped into my car, going straight to the pack house - where the party was held.

You're probably wondering why I don't live in the pack house. Well, every werewolf family can either choose to live in a town house or in the pack house, as long as they don't make a ruckus and my family chose to live in a private mansion.

I'll probably transfer to it when I take over.

Maybe, just maybe, if Kendra forgives me, we could live in the packhouse together.

As I arrived, I stepped out of my car and was instantly greeted by my friends. I noticed that the pack house is already in a party mode. The energy is in full blast.

The jamboree was still starting, yet there was a lot of people already.

Kendra's party is surely going to be the talk of the town. I could feel - even myself - get excited at the thought of partying as well the pack members.

When I was walking around the living room, girls started to crowd over me. Which, I didn't appreciate. I didn't even paid attention to these girls. I'm here and only here to look for my mate.

Where is she anyway? I haven't seen her yet.

Suddenly, everyone turned to look at the front door. Is Kendra there? I pushed past the girls, only to find me lost for breath. I didn't know I was holding my breath till I saw her.

There she was.

My gorgeous mate, Kendra.

She was wearing a gorgeous, short white dress and her legs looked like it could go forever. Damn, her body had the perfect curves, I swear.

Holy Shit! In a matter of days, she has managed to transform into a cute little nerd into a hot fucking model.

I never expected her to change.

I could feel my eyes turn black with desire. I couldn't take my eyes off of her and so is every unmated male here present. I could see her blush from all of the lustful stares she has been receiving.

I smiled. Her appearance might have changed but her personality, her shyness never did. It stayed with her. Though, I could feel my possessive instincts kick in. It doesn't help that she looked desirable enough to eat- every unmated wolf was looking at her right as of this very moment. I will crush their eyes in front of her if they don't stop staring.

I watched her as she greeted Kenneth, then proceeded to the DJ station.

Kenneth got everyone's attention and passed the microphone to Kendra.

My wolf's ears perked up as I heard her melodic voice. I could listen to it forever like a lullaby.

Everyone cheered when she said that the party was about to begin. After her birthday speech, she then went back to her friends and started a conversation with Scott Anderson.

I felt my eyes narrow.

Why is it that everytime I see him, he is always clinging to her. He then gave her his gift.

Oh no, is his better than mine? I shook my head. I have got to stop being so insecure.

Suddenly, Brandi appeared out of nowhere and started to touch my arms. My wolf then wanted to rip her head off because he felt that cold, odd chill when she touched us.

"Hey baby, I missed you." She said with a seductive voice. Which is not, may I add. I might have fallen for that look a few weeks ago but now, I will never touch her again.

"Brandi, not now." I snarled looking back at Kendra who was now, dancing with that dickhead, Scott. If Kendra wasn't my mate, I would go after Brandi.

A lot of things have changed now. People change.

I got distracted for a moment when Kendra started swaying her hips sexily; then, unexpectedly, Brandi pressed her lips on mine. Everything happened so fast and I was confused at what had happened.

I pushed her away and glared at her.

"What the hell was that?" I shouted and then removed Brandi's clinging arms. I wiped my mouth onto the sleeves of my shirt.

"Come on, don't be like that baby, I know you want this." She said as she pointed out her tight, revealing outfit. I guess, to other men she looked hot but to me, it didn't appeal at all.

"Let's go somewhere private." She whispered to me.

I shuddered. If I didn't found out that Kendra was my mate then I would have liked her touch but now, it made my skin crawl. Like I really wanted to get her miles away from me.

"Get the fuck out of my way Brandi and stop touching me or I will banish you." I ordered with my alpha voice. I knew she felt the tremors of my command and it worked because she looked scared and cowered away.

Good. I thought.

I turned to look at my mate, who was still dancing, and her arms were wrapped around the guy's neck. I scowled at them. It didn't please my wolf at all seeing her in his arms when she should be in mine.

She was always the center of male attention. And when she was rubbing herself on Scott, everyone can't keep their eyes off of her.

Kendra was the perfect dream woman every male craved. I craved. I can't believe I fucking rejected her.

Damn, I really needed to stop moping around and start getting her back.

She suddenly made eye contact with me, never breaking our gaze. I know she could probably see the lust in my eyes but I couldn't take it anymore. Seeing her with another male just set me off so I just hid in the corner and waited whilst grumbling.

When she was done dancing, I purposely followed her to the kitchen. I needed to talk to her.

Surprising her, I pinned her to the refrigerator when she was getting a drink.

I felt sparks and it feels so damn good.

"What the f-" She said but I cut her off. "Why were you dancing with Anderson?" I demanded.

She just ignored my question and said "Damn it! Stop doing that!" Placing a hand on her heart.

"Answer my question. Why were you dancing with him?" I had asked with a scowl.

"Why not? Scott is my friend and I wanted to have fun and let loose." She replied with a shrug.

"You have to stay away from him! You're mine damn it!" I exploded.

I apologized to her and vowed to win her back. But then she counter argued saying it was just my wolf that wants them. But truly, no, it's not just my wolf. I want her so much, that I need her. I started to calm down when she went near me.

I handed her a small box which contains the necklace that my mother gave me earlier.

I could see her eyes bulged when she saw the necklace. She looked surprised at the item, handing it back to me. I reacted quickly. I told her that the object had been in my family for centuries. I really wanted her to have it.

"May I?" I asked her. She didn't reply and just nodded my head. She then turned her back on me. I touched the nape of her slender neck and clasped the necklace around her neck.

I placed my lips onto her neck. Pleased, when I heard her wolf purr as I kissed her sweet spot. She moaned.

Oh, what a pleasing sound that sent me and my wolf to hysteria. My canines was grazing the skin of her neck and I know she could feel my boner.

"Stop." She gasped out before we could do something naughty. I never wanted to stop. I knew her body doesn't want to as well but I needed to control myself if I wanted to forgive her.

She then spoke, her breathing ragged, "Archer, thank you for the lovely gift but I still haven't forgiven you yet."

She walked out of the kitchen, forgetting the beer she was suppose to get. I then made my way to the living room to check the dance floor and maybe getting my groove on. This was a party. I should stop overthinking a lot.

I then smelt her scent.

My mate was back at the dance floor, thankfully. dancing by herself this time. I was about to approach her when another dude went up and rubbed himself on her.

Great. Another prick to deal with.

I started to get angry because she didn't do anything to push the man away. In fact, she welcomed him and danced with him. With that, I yanked her away from the guy and heard her groan.

"What do you want?" She asked me through the music.

"Nothing, just dance with me" I said huskily and looked at her with lust. I just wanted to feel her up.

The old song started to end and was replaced by a song called Body Language by Kid Ink ft. Usher.

Perfect. I thought.

We then started dance to the beat whilst she wrapped her arms around my neck and swayed.

"Your mine." I whispered in her ear and continued once more.

"All mine." I wanted to touch her so I ran my hand up and down Kendra's curves making her gasp. Her soft body pressed to mine was one of the best feelings in the world.

I spoke to her with a husky voice. "Dance with me like the way you danced with that other guy." I said the last part bitterly and turned her around so her backside was pressed on to my body. I guess this position was making her flustered, seeing as a red hue tinted her cheeks. I now rubbed my body on her. I could feel myself getting turned on again judging by the bulge in my pants.

Damn, everything she does drives me wild. She then started moving seductively, making sure our bodies touch. It was mind blowing and I think I just went to heaven. I placed my hands on my mate's hips and my lips on her ear making her shiver in delight. She moaned when I started nuzzling my nose on the skin of her slender neck though we were still dancing to the beat.

She smelled delightful.

Squeezing her hips, she whimpered.

"Archer." Kendra moaned out my name like it was a prayer.

I released a growl. My wolf was on edge here. Hearing her say that wasn't helpful at all.

Shit! My wolf was gaining control but I kept him at bay.

It didn't help it when she said my name so breathlessly.

"You're so fucking sexy right now. I want to peel that dress off of you." I groaned. She didn't respond and just bit her lip.

She needs to stop this tortuous teasing.

I growled again. Much louder this time.

"Stop biting it or I'll bite it for you." I told her giving her a mischievous smirk. Her wolf released another purr.

Then, unexpectedly, my wolf took over. He was looking at her now with a hungry expression. I'm pretty sure my wolf wanted to fuck her hard.

Hey, in my defense, she looked like a fuckable goddess.

Hearing her wolf's purr drove him out of his shell and took control. I took her face in my hands and was about to kiss her when she suddenly screamed. She closed her eyes and was about to fall but I caught her. Hearing her scream like that snapped my wolf into reality and gave me control back again.

I shouted, "Stop! Stop the music! She is shifting!" The music died down and her brother appeared.

"What had happened?" He asked looking worried at his sister's agonizing state.

'Mate. Our mate is shifting!' My wolf said excitedly for he wanted to see her true form.

"What are you waiting for? Bring her outside!" I didn't like to be ordered around but now is not the time and I would gladly lower my pride for my mate. she needed to get away from people, away from the house.

I did what Kenneth instructed me to do and placed her down on the soft brown soil. She was in pain. My wolf was whimpering because we couldn't do anything to help her so I whispered sweet loving things in her ear knowing that when your mate is with you while shifting, the pain lessens. I could hear her bones cracking and was shifting.

I experienced this before but it might be painful to Kendra because she was suppose to shift two years ago.

I waited and waited. I will be here for her.

Suddenly the screaming stopped and I took a look at my mate. I was so shocked to see her in all fours. She finally shifted after two years. Everyone was staring at her jaw-dropped again.

Seriously, wolf or human form, she is beautiful and eye catching. Her wolf was just gorgeous and unique. I could feel my wolf growl, nodding his wolf head in agreement as he appreciated the thought about his mate.

She was a huge golden werewolf with a red thunder streak at her side. She looked like she was glowing. Does the red streak have a symbolism? I thought. Suddenly, she fainted. I ran up to her and she unconsciously shifted back to human form.

If she was awake I would have wanted to see her naked but I have too much respect for her and she might kill me if I did something.

I unbuttoned my white shirt and wrapped it around her. I scooped her up in my arms and walked back inside the pack house.

"Where are you taking my sister?" Kenneth growled menacingly. I growled back, hating the disrespect.

"Know your place Kenneth. I'm taking her home with me." I told him, nonchalantly.

"The hell you are!" He shouted loudly.

"Don't worry Kenneth, I won't take advantage of her. I'll take care of her." I said calmly. She was my mate after all.

By the look on his face, it's seems like he was still not convinced but knowing I'm her mate, he silently agreed.

I would probably do the same if I had a sister though.

"Okay, I trust you but if she comes home crying then Alpha or not, you're dead to me." He sneered with a warning. The threat in his voice didn't go unnoticed. I just waved him off, placing my Kendra to the front seat of the car and drove home.

When we neared my mansion, I scooped her up in my arms again and carried her all the way to my room. I saw my mother's worried face as I passed her.

I explained to her, "She just shifted. I'm going to take care of her." I said sincerely. My mother smiled, pleased with my decision. I'm sure my dad was still in his office working on the pack business.

I opened the door to my room and placed her on my king-sized bed. I closed all lights and opened one lampshade. The light was dim but made her skin look radiant. I took a step back and admired the beautiful view. Even though Kendra was sleeping, she was a true beauty. Witg her wearing my dress-shirt, her luscious brown locks flowing freely, I almost lost control again.

She looked like a fucking angel if I must say.

How come I feel this way? I truly felt complete everytime she was with me.

I think I'm changing now.

Why? I never felt and never acted this way before. The constant mood swings, the over protectiveness, and the jealousy I felt 24/7. I now understand the feeling...

Love.

I remember, that I didn't care about having a mate. I just wanted to fuck girls.

I never did believe the word love too because I was heartbroken by my first love and with that experience, I never wanted to have a relationship. But now, I know I hurt Kendra a lot with the rejection and having sex with other females but I swear I'll be good to her.

I'm tired of arguing and hurting her. I would never try to bring her pain again. I don't want to think about that again.

The past is in the past.

I then took my jeans off and went to bed in boxers. Looking at her angelic face, I pulled her body close. Absentmindedly twirling a piece of her hair, and getting a whiff of her coconut scent. She forever smelled good.

'Good enough to eat.' My wolf thought cheekily.

'Damn, stop thinking about lustful thoughts! She is sleeping!' I hissed at him.

'You know you want her.' He was arrogantly stating. Yes. She was turning me on without even trying.

My wolf was ecstatic when he realized that he has his mate by his side. I was too. I yawned. I don't know how she'll react when she wakes up beside me.

I pulled her body closer to mine and turned off the lamp.

"Goodnight, mate." I whispered and kissed her forehead.

Later that night, with our skin touching, scent surrounding, and the sound of our heartbeats at one, I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
