Fates Hands

Chapter 104

Chapter 6–Book 3

The Beast was on the hunt, he stayed in the shadows where he blended in. He was back at the parking

lot and found the place in the trees where she hid. She wasn‘t alone though, he could tell that there

was another with

her.

He couldn‘t make out the smell, that meant only one thing. A Shifter. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He wasn‘t happy about that, it wasn‘t going to stop him though. He had a demanding mistress and he

didn‘t enjoy her punishments. He went to the place in the parking lot where he noticed where a car was

parked last night.

Her scent still lingered at the spot where she got into her car. He sniffed the area where the car was, he

got a track to follow from her tires. It wasn‘t an exact kinda thing but it will give him a direction to focus

on.

At that moment he changed into a man, he was tall and bulky with muscle. His hair was long and hung

about his unshaven face. Giving him a dark and wild appearance. He wore black jeans and boots with

a long black leather coat, no shirt.

His dark eyes focused on the building it was the only logical place she could have been coming from.

He decided to go inside and see what he could find out about the woman. Perhaps some information

on where she lives.

He wasn‘t concerned about having any trouble with getting information, it was his special ability. Just

by touching them, he could put a human into a state where all he had to do was ask a question and

they would answer it.

Once he was done they would be confused, they would not remember anything at all. Not even

meeting him or what he looked like.

Anna stared at her sister in disbelief. She had been trying for years to get her sister to date. With no

hope for success, she finally gave up trying.

Then one Saturday afternoon she comes home early to fix her sister a surprise dinner and ends up

being the one surprised instead. Just as she enters the trailer she sees a naked man running down the

hall and her sister’s face the nice shade of a tomato.

Anna couldn‘t hold back her smile. She was going to have soo much fun with this.

“Well, Well, Well, was I interrupting

something?”

Rachel didn‘t say anything at first, she just looked at her sister sheepishly.

“Ah, no you didn‘t interrupt anything,”

“Are you sure Rachel, that didn‘t look like nothing to me, cause that looked like the naked butt of a man

running down our hall? Is there someone you should introduce me to perhaps? I understand if it

slipped your mind.”

“I probably wouldn‘t have been thinking about my sister either if I was looking at that.”

“You do know that he ran into my room? Perhaps I should go in there and see if he needs any help

finding the right room.” 2

She started to wiggle her eyebrows with a big cheesy grin on her face, it

was clear she was enjoying Rachel‘s predicament.

“Anna! that is enough ok.”

At that moment Archer came walking out, fully dressed, and stood behind Rachel. Kissing her on the

cheek.

Anna‘s eyes widened in excitement, she came over to Archer and held out her hand.

“Hello, I am Anna Stevens and you are?”

He shook her hand, smiling like a cat with all the cream.

“My name is Archer Bennet, It‘s a pleasure to meet you.”

It was at that moment that Rachel realized how big of slut she had been, she didn‘t even know his last

name or anything about him other than his changing into a lion.

Like he could sense what she was thinking he leaned in and whispered so she could only hear him.

“Don‘t worry Catnip, soon you will know more about me than even my mother does.” D

She blushed again and her sister started beaming with happiness.

Rachel let out a sigh, there‘s no fighting with fools she said to herself and gave out a little laugh. She

decided that she was going to let things unfold and see where it leads her.

“Well I was going to sneak home early and fix you dinner as a surprise but I see you went straight for

dessert.”

“I am going to go to a party and leave you two to Ummm, finish what you started.” She snickered.

“Don‘t worry it‘s a nerd party, we all

.built robots out of spare parts and we are going to have a cage match at the basketball court at school

to see who is the best.”

“I will stay the night at Sarah‘s house so you can have some more fun. She laughed as the door closed

behind her.”

Rachels phone went off, it was a text message from her sister, I am gonna want all the details.} Rachel

shut off her phone with a sigh.

Rachel was ok with her staying with Sarah her buddy from science class. Her father was a police

officer and Sarah‘s mom was a third–grade math teacher. They lived on the other side of town so she

should be ok for now.

When she turned around to look at Archer he was lounging on her couch as if he lived there. She found

she kinda liked it.

“Will Anna be alright, that thing isn‘t going to get to her, is it? She isn‘t in any danger, is she? I don‘t

know what I would do if something happened to Anna. Please tell me she will be safe.”

“She will be alright for now, I am going to have to move both of you to a safe house, just for a while till I

figure out what it is that is killing people and hunting you.”

Archer patted his lap for her to come to sit on it. She didn‘t move at first but decided what the hell at

least he is dressed this time.

Jessica Winchester was over the moon happy, one of her friends gave her some incredible information.

The location of Archer Bennet‘s apartment.

She was going to show up at his

doorstep and demand why he ghosted her. No one ghosted her and got away with it. Then she was

going to seduce him, she knew that she was going to have to be done up special though, Archer gets

bored easily.

She started to make all kinds of beauty appointments, nails, hair, waxing the whole nine yards. Then

she was going shopping for a kick–ass dress and shoes. He wasn‘t going to know what hit him.

She hummed happily as she went to her closet to see what she should pack for when she would spend

the night with Archer. Perhaps she should pack extra just in case he wants more than just one night.

She was going to hook this fish and then she would be able to lord it all over her so–called friends. Her

mother would be so happy, she will get to plan the wedding of the century.

Her father won‘t want to pay for it but he was easy to wrap around her finger. She called her two best

buds to tell them that she was going to be Mrs. Archer Bennet soon.

August was at the apartment going through camera footage of the parking lot, hoping to get a good

look at this creature. Every time it was recorded it was fuzzy it was almost like one of those horror

movies where the people‘s faces are all blurry.

He was finally tired of looking and shut it off. He couldn‘t help but feel that there was more than just a

rogue on a killing frenzy.

He had been hearing whispers of gossip the last month about some of the community talking about a

beautiful woman who was influencing some of the shifters.

He had no proof though, only gossip. Still, things have been strange lately. I will have to keep my ear to

the ground and see what I can find out.

His mother texted him about an hour ago saying that some of the vipers are slinking around the town

looking for Archer.

He laughed at that, sometimes it is a great advantage to not be born first. He knew he was still a target

but not the prime target.

Still, it was another complication in the mix. Especially if Archer has found his mate. He would love to

watch how all those nasty pit vipers are going to take that news.

He was so far confident that none of them knew where they were hiding

out. He didn‘t give it long though before some stupid gossip finds out and spreads the word.

They will end up looking like someone trying to eat french fries at a seagull park. He shivered at that

thought. He hoped that he would also find his true mate as well. He had hope though, both of his

brothers found theirs. So he should be able to as well.

He did wonder though how the community was going to take Archer‘s mate being human.
