Fates Hands

Chapter 106

Chapter 8–Book 3

The Beast trailed the scent to a schoolyard. There he sniffed the air, yes the scent is a little different but

it is the same. He focused on a young girl who had the same kind of features as the woman he was

hunting.

Yes, it was a sibling it was at that moment that someone screamed and everyone turned to look at him.

He climbed the fence focused on the girl, he was going to get her to tell him where the other woman

was.

Before he could reach her a younger boy hit him hard with a rather large stick. He turned to look at the

boy, the boy hit him again. He saw red, no one hits me and gets away with it. Forgetting the girl at that

moment and chasing after the boy with the

intent to kill.

He chased the boy into a corner it was as always easy, at that moment he came to his senses he had

been distracted and now had to track the girl again.

He stalked up to the boy and swiped his claws across its chest. Not enough to kill but enough so he will

never forget this lesson.

With that, he was off to find the scent trail of the girl.

Finding it he took off sniffing the ground as he went not caring if anyone saw him at this moment. He

managed to track her to one of the trailers in the trailer park about five blocks away.

He sniffed around the trailer and then the car parked in the drive. This was definitely where that woman

lived. He went behind the trailer

where the neighbors couldn’t get a good look and shifted into his human form.

He walked up to the back door and ripped it open, walking into the hallway he sniffed the air again, yes

this was it. This is where she lives. There was another scent in the air it was the same as the parking

lot only this time it was much stronger.

Male shifter, Lion. That is an unfortunate complication. I will have to tell my mistress that she has to

stop the pursuit of this, she can’t go against the Lions.

Still, he will track her as far as the trail goes and then report back to wait upon his mistress.

Rachel fell asleep halfway to where ever it was they were going. She and

Anna were asleep in the back seat while Archer and August talked.

“I saw the way you were looking at Anna, care to explain?”

“It is too messed up Archer, I think she is my mate but she is too young. I have decided to wait it out for

the time being and focus on the problems at hand for now.”

“Besides I saw the mark on Rachel’s neck, does she know?”

“She knows that I can shift into a Lion but she doesn’t know what that mark means yet. Things have

been happening so fast, I am a little worried about how she is going to take it all. Not to mention that

she is Human, that isn’t very popular within the community either.”

“First things first August, we get them to the safe house and settled in

then we go hunting for that creature whatever it is. It has to be stopped.”

“Agreed, Archer.”

“You are going to need some alone time with your mate Archer, get to know each other as it should be.

Make the bond unbreakable, she has to mark you. Though I am not sure if a human has the bite

compacity to do

“We will figure it out, I will have to call Mom and tell her about everything that is going on. I know you

have told her a lot but I want to tell her myself everything else. She will keep Dad informed and he can

look into all those odd rumors.”

With that they were turning down an old desert road, heading to a place called “The Sun Estate”. It had

been in the family for generations, no one other than the five of the Bennets

knew of its existence or its location.

It wasn’t anything fancy but it is a large estate where their kind can roam freely without being seen.

It has all kinds of surveillance cameras and alert systems as well as a hidden bunker. There were also

all kinds of weapons and two dune buggies.

The house itself was a five-bedroom three-bathroom cabin with a kitchen, dining room, living room, and Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

an enclosed pool. There was plenty of open spaces and privacy. Something for everyone.

Archer decided to call in some help, for some reason he didn’t feel good about calling on his own. He

called Jack Dawson instead. Jack couldn’t come because Nova was pregnant. However, he was

sending his second Sam with two other enforcers and an

expert tracker from Duncan’s pack that was visiting to help out.

One of the enforcer’s mates was a witch she insisted on coming along as well. Perhaps she can also

answer questions the ladies might have about the whole shifting and magical world. 9

They should be here by tomorrow night. They will be on motorcycles so be on the lookout. Jack was

happy that Archer had found his mate. He wanted to make sure that he was able to keep her.

August told Archer that if all those shifters were coming they were going to need some serious supplies

of food and other essentials.

Archer agreed that August should go into the next town down the road and get what they needed. If

worse came to worse he could call Dad to send in

the helicopter. 2)

Rachel and Anna looked around the rustic but very expensive cabin. Their trailer could fit inside at least

four times and that was just the ground floor.

Anna was excited about the pool she was trying to forget the horror that started this journey as was

Rachel. Rachel wasn’t interested in the pool, she was wanting to know what was going on.

Archer had been acting strange since they arrived, it was almost as if he was trying to avoid her. She

rubbed the place on her neck where he bit her, she wondered about it. It took a shape that looked like a

sun.

Every time she touched it she would instantly remember the pleasure it

gave her when he made it. She finally decided to stop touching it just as she felt eyes on her

Archer was there leaning against the door frame his eyes were dark and he was staring at her intently.

She raised an eyebrow looking back at him in defiance. Thinking to herself…Oh, now you wanna talk.

Well, maybe I am just too busy now.

He raised an eyebrow back at her reaction, Lord he was sexy. He was a fantasy of creation and it

pissed her off cause she knew he was using it on

her.

The reason she was mad was that it was working. She turned and left the room the only defense she

had against him.

She knew he would follow, she went outside to look at the grounds. He pulled her back inside and

surrounded her in his arms. She stood there for a little bit taking in his warmth.

“Archer, when are you going to start telling me everything, you have been just bouncing around on the

edges not telling me too much of anything. I have accepted that you are some sort of supernatural

being and I think your Lion, Solis is cute and charming.”

Solis perked his head up at hearing that…

“You hear that she thinks I’m cute and charming.” (2

Solis was strutting around inside his mind making poses here and there as the strutted about.

“Great, our mate is turning you from a hardened killing machine to a sappy boob.”

Solis just laughed at that and went back to what he was doing.

“Come inside my little catnip and we will talk, I will tell you all that you want to know and more. We also

are going to have to tell your sister, during the coming days she may see strange things and will need

an explanation.”

They went inside and up to Archer’s bedroom, he wasn’t trying to lure her or anything, he just felt more

comfortable there and it was private. He had a lot of explaining to do and he needed a place where if

she decided to run he would get to her fast.

August will be back in about an hour or so. We will take that time for some privacy. She nodded her

head and sat down on the large black leather sofa, why this was in his bedroom she didn’t know. There

was no way

though she was going to sit on the bed.

Perhaps being here was a mistake, all she could think about was his naked body and that bed.

He went over and sat on his bed, Lord almighty she was in trouble now as her heart started racing. She

was moving around on the couch trying to think of anything else, the more she tried to block it out the

more it would invade her thoughts.

Archer’s head came up instantly, she was aroused he could scent it in the air and her heart was racing.

He smirked at her.

“I only brought you up here to talk, but if you want to seduce me I might be open to letting you try.”

“Archer perhaps you can tell me why I am so out of control when I am near

.

you? I mean I can be attracted to you but not want to pounce on you and rip your clothes off.”

She cursed as soon as she opened her mouth, did she just say all that out loud?

His smile widened at hearing that.

“So, my little catnip you want to rip off my clothes?”
