Chapter 1007: You're Mine



After saying his goodbyes to Pamela and Josie, who were off to a photoshoot in Central London, Archer agreed to attend her next session. He left the dining hall and bumped into Nancy, dressed in her workout gear.

His eyes took in her toned, warrior-like figure, clearly appreciating her beauty. Noticing his interest, she smiled and teased, "Like what you see, handsome? Are you still coming to my fight next Thursday?"

Archer nodded before answering, "Of course, Nance, I will return to the mansion and travel with you unless you want me to fly us there."

Nancy shook her head, "We're traveling with my boxing team, and I want them to meet you," she said with a smile.

The two of them said goodbye before Archer cast the Gate to his mother's house in Rosemary Beach. He quickly stepped through it, appeared in the back garden, and noticed it was the middle of the night.

'Timezones,' Archer thought with a chuckle. 'I keep forgetting.'

He used Blink to appear inside, where everyone was sleeping except his mother. Michelle was sitting on one of the sofas while looking out the window. Archer approached and sat beside her before speaking, "Hey, Mom. I heard some suits were here for me."

When Michelle heard his voice, she jumped before shaking her head and replying with a smile. "Ellie thinks it's the government, but it could be anyone."

"We'll see in the morning," he replied, gazing at the starry sky.

Archer could feel her eyes on him, and after a moment, her curious voice broke the silence. "Was your childhood as terrible as Nyx and Maeve said?"

He turned to the woman who had once played a significant role in his life. With a bittersweet smile, he answered, "Yes, it wasn't easy. But it's shaped who I am today. When you have a mother who abuses you, you learn to cope. Eventually, the pain stops bothering you-at least, on the surface."

Michelle frowned, her concern deepening. She quickly took his hand, her voice trembling with nervousness. "Did they ever... lay hands on you?"

Archer winced at her question, but after a moment, he forced himself to push the discomfort aside. With a solemn nod, he replied, "Yes. Not as often as the verbal abuse, but it still haunts me to this day."

"Even though you're a dragon?" she questioned.

He nervously laughed before answering, "When something affects your psyche regardless of what I am. It will always be with me; I remember every time they hit me."

Michelle's frown deepened as she suddenly pulled him into a tight hug. Her voice, laced with sadness, trembled as she spoke. "I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, Arch. No child should ever endure that, especially after you gave your life protecting Alexa."

Archer leaned back, gazing at the sky as he mused aloud, "Life is beautiful... strange and full of mysteries."

Before he could think even more, the older woman gently pulled him toward her. With a playful smile, she guided his head onto her lap, her touch tender but confident, "Rest here, handsome," she whispered, stroking his hair. "I'll make sure you relax."

Hearing the warmth in her voice, Archer smiled, his head resting comfortably on her thick thigh. As she gently played with his white hair, a wave of calm washed over him. Her touch felt like home.

"I'm so happy you came back, darling," she said softly, her voice filled with emotion. "You may not look the same or act like you used to, but that caring side of you... it's still there."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Archer smiled as her words washed over him, but a shiver ran down his spine when Michelle's fingers grazed his ear. Goosebumps prickled across his skin, and he involuntarily tensed, which made Michelle giggle.

Her laughter made her chest bounce slightly, a playful ripple disrupting the peaceful moment. Without hesitation, she gently rested her soft curves on Archer's head, and the unexpected sensation made him tense up in surprise.

appearance.

Archer's eyes were drawn to her stockings, which extended her long legs and highlighted her shapely thighs. Maeve's smile was warm, and her grey eyes sparkled with affection, making it

clear how much she cared.

Nyx's teasing voice broke through his thoughts. "Are you just going to stare at us, husband?" She settled into the opposite sofa with the other women.

Archer's gaze shifted to Nyx, whose yellow nightgown accentuated her athletic figure. Her mismatched eyes shimmered with affection. With a playful smile, he replied, "Why shouldn't

I admire my beautiful women?"

They all smiled at Archer's response, but Michelle's voice soon interjected. "Would you ladies like some hot chocolate? I'm making some for Arch."

"Yes, please!" the three women answered in unison.

Archer chuckled at their coordinated response as they came over to greet him with a kiss. He got up and walked towards the window to look out while thinking, but something caught his

attention.

A storm was racing toward the coast, and he felt dread, so he warned the women, "Prepare to help if I call for you three."

With a surge of determination, Archer cast Blink, instantly appearing outside. Summoning his mighty wings, he launched into the sky, soaring toward the approaching threat. As he

ascended, he glared at a formidable figure high above.

'You're mine,' he thought with an evil smile.

The thrill of the hunt ignited within him, and with a roar that reverberated for miles, Archer hurtled toward the enemy. He collided with the foe, a nightmarish Cthulhu-like creature, and

unleashed his fury.

Teeth bared, claws slashing, and tail whipping, Archer tore into the creature with savage

intensity. The stranger was caught off guard, its surprise giving way to terror as he

dismantled it limb from limb.

But the battle was far from over-more monstrous beings emerged from the darkness, ready

to face his wrath.
