《The Rejected Mate》20 - First Snow
Advertisement
The days were spent going out , going here and there , doing this and that. Archer just basically does everything his sons wanted. And now it's another day again and we were outside once again. I am settled on the passenger seat while the kids are behind and Archer is driving the van. We're having a road trip and were already travelling out of nowhere
"Beach!! Beach!!"-Anna yelled pointing outside , Archer immediately came into a halt parking the van correctly. Its a beach but it is cold outside because of the pre November breeze.
"I think this is our stop then"-Archer said unbuckling his seatbelt and the kids immediately did the same , opening the door and going outside , and I did too. The kids run towards the cemented stair leading down the stony area , while I followed Archer behind the van where he took out a folding table and chairs and baskets containing the foods we brought. I took the basket from him and let him bring the folding table and chairs.
"Come on , they're already too excited."-he said leading me below where the kids are already on the sandy area running away from the water. We walked on the stony part before we arrived at the sand and set up the portable tables and the little chairs around it. I put out the chips , hot chocolates and sandwiches.
"Who's hungry?"-I asked
"Me!!"-the kids immediately run towards us and pick their foods.
"Does everyone are having fun?"-Archer asked
"Yes!!"-They said cheerfully with big grins on their faces
"I want to swim!"-Anna said
"It is so cold Anna , maybe next time when it is already not cold"-I said
"Okay"-she said
"Can we ride a boat?"-Marcus asked
"We don't have a boat right now though , we can try it next time"-Archer said
"Then we swim , then we rwide a boat?"-Anna asked excitingly
"Sure , then we will catch fish if you want"-Archer said and the kids cheered. After a while of eating we started to walk on the seaside with the kids running around playing a tug game.
"The kids like the sea"-Archer said
"They do.."-I said. If it wasn't just cold I guess they're already swimming right now.
"I have a plan"-Archer said with a big smile walking in front of me , he is walking backwards holding my hands.
"What?"-I asked
"What if..we'll build a house near the sea?"-he asked wriggling his brows
"And where would you find a property?"-I asked raising my brow
"Baby , I bet you forgot that I purchased worth a Billion of property at the bay side"-he said
"Oh! That property"-I said
"I'm planning to make it a island-village resort. With restaurants , hotels , shops , cabins..but now I guess I'll add a manor at the center..the kids will like it"-he said
"Are you sure we can occupy it?"-I asked raising my brow. We can't stay in an area forever. Noting that our age were slowly moving forward soon , people will get suspicious with us. Once werewolves reached adulthood their age basically stop moving , atleast our face and body stopped developing , we never get old. Me I guess I will stay like this ti'l I don't know when.

"We can occupy it , eventually when our kids turned 18 or something , they will introduce us as their older brother and sister to their human friends if they would have"-he said and I chuckled. Isn't it horrible? But that could be the reality.
"If only they can stay kids forever.."-I said. I'm not ready to see my kids looking as old as me..then they'll find their mates..then I will live alone when that time came. I feel sad. Cause let's face it , Archer has his own wife , he will eventually go back to her , we can't stay like this forever. Being with me is just escaping the reality for now since they have a problem.
"Baby , what are you thinking?"-I squeal when my face hit his firm chest. I did not realized that he already stopped walking.
"Nothing , just this and that"-I said
"Oh tell me"-he said
"It's really nothing just my own concerns"-I said
"You looked sad"-he said
"I'm not , see"-I said with a big smile that I know did not even reached my eyes. He glanced at the kids who were busy playing with the sand and capped my face with his hands. He immediately owned my lips with his. I moan and answer him back with the same fervor , but before he could deepened the kiss , something hit his head. He growl and touched his head to found some sand in there. His sharp gaze found the kids. They were fazed looking at him.
"Uh-oh"-Anna said
"Stop eating mom!"-Marcus said tossing a ball of sand on his hand.
"You little--"-before Archer could step Marcus threw a sand again that Archer immediately avoided. Making me catch the ball of sand on my face and we heard the kids laughed.
"Baby , are you okay?"-Archer immediately asked worriedly wiping my face. But then another sand hit his nape , he growl loud and turn around to the kids.
"You little trolls! Come here and I'll threw you at the sea"-Archer said marching towards them and they immediately scream and run away.
"Baby , you catch the others I'll catch the real culprit"-Archer said as the kids run on different directions. He run after Marcus , while I run after little Anna and scoop her on my arms , making her scream. Archer had already catched Marc too , who're screaming help towards Marcus. He easily got Marcus too as the little boy run towards them to rescue his twin.
"Bad move"-Archer said smirking and tossing the kids on his shoulders like some sack of potatoes. He then went towards the sea side making them scream loudly. I follow fort.
"Stop!! Stop!!"-Anna screamed
"Daddy!! Stop!! We won't do it again! Ahhh~"-Marc screamed
"Magic word baby"-Archer said attempting to throw them
"PLEASE!! IT'S SO COLD!"-Marcus yelled
"Wrong word"-Archer said
"Say it Marcus! You are the one who threw it to him!"-Marc yelled kicking his twin
"Why me? You made the balls!"-Marcus yelled back.
"Blaming each other eh?"
"Anna planned it!"-Marc pointed
"Not me!!"-Anna denied.
"Anna said she doesn't do it"-I said

"Let's just threw them all baby"-Archer said nodding to me , but they immediately screamed simultaneously.
"Sorry! Mommy! Sorry Daddy!!"
"Sowwy!"
"Please put us down now! We are really sorry!"
Archer eventually let them down and I did the same
"I'm not eating your mom okay? I'm just kissing her"-Archer said
"Why , do you love mommy?"-Marc asked raising his brow. Archer stiffened.
"Only people who love each other kiss each other"-Marcus said
"I..of course I love your mom"-Archer said stiffly not looking back. We became silent , not until Anna squeal happily.
"Snow!! Snow!!"-she said jumping up and down. I look up and found little sprinkle of snowfalls from the sky.
"Its the first snow of the year"-I said catching some snow on my palm.
"I guess we should go home now. It's already too cold"-Archer said
"Let's go to the car!"-Marcus said and his siblings followed him towards the car , while I helped Archer fix the things we brought a while ago. Archer remained quiet ti'l then.
"The kids might made you force yourself to say the 'L' word , don't worry I understand you doesn't mean it at all"-I said with an assuring smile. He sighed and did not respond to that.
"Do you miss Allisa now?"-I asked. He remained silent for a while before he respond.
"Actually..I don't know , she never came into my mind , until now that you mention her"-he said , I just nod. Its impossible that he never thought of her and I know it's just the safest way to say in this situation.
"Come on"-he said holding my hand and leading me towards the road.
∆°∆°∆°∆°
"Can we play with the snow now?"-Anna asked once again.
The kids were staring outside at the window. Waiting for the snow to fully cover the lawn. They wanted to play with the snow and we promised they would do it once the snow became thick already and here they are waiting for it. I never prohibited my kids to play outside during winter , sunny or even rainy season. They needed to experience it.
"The snow is just small baby"-I said as I warm my hands on the mug of my hot chocolate
"Can I drink that?"-Marcus asked looking at my hot chocolates
"Sure"-I said giving him the mug.
"Where's daddy?"-Marcus asked
"He's on the phone , he needed to attend his work"-I said. It's been two days since that picnic occurred and Archer and I became busy attending the business then. I was always on my PC while Archer were having phonecalls here and there.
"What is daddy's work?"-Marcus asked
"He is an Alpha of the pack"-I said
"Alpha?"-he asked
"Yes Alpha , Alpha is the one who lead the pack , his Wife is the Luna. Below him was the Beta who like his vice , and there are the pack warriors , then the Omega are the lowest rank in the pack"-I said and he frown trying to analyze what I said
"Uh! So the Alpha was like the President of the country? And the Luna was like the mistress and the Beta is the vice president? And the Warriors are the police? And the Omega are the citizens?"-Marcus said. I looked at him amused
"Yes , that could be the counterpart in human world"-I said
"Why are we werewolf?"-he asked
"Because we are born this way"-I said
"Do we transform like a wolf?"-he asked curiously
"Yes , once you reach the right age"-I said
"Cool!"-he exclaimed
"Hey..what are you guys talking about?"-Archer came and slumped on the couch beside me. He immediately wrap his arms around me and put his chin on my shoulder
"We were just talking about the werewolves and the pack"-I said
"Really? How is it?"-Archer asked
"Mommy said you are the Alpha"-Marcus said
"Yes little boy , I am"-Archer said
"How many werewolves were in the pack"-Marcus asked
"There's a lot of them , like 300?"-Archer said
"Wow..I want to see to pack and see a lot of werewolves"-Marcus said
"Someday kid"-Archer said ruffling his hair
"Are you alright?"-I asked when I noticed his mood wasn't too cheerful today
"Yeah..but something's going on"-he said
"What?"-I asked raising my brow
"My mom's birthday is tomorrow and she wanted me to be there..and also they said Allisa's health became worst"-he said making me turn my head towards him
"Then you should go"-I said
"But.. I don't until when can I go back again.."-he said almost a whisper
"Where are you going dad?"-Marcus asked and I realized he has been listening to us all along
"Baby , It is bad to listen to the conversation of other people"-I lectured
"Who is Allisa??"-he asked again and I sighed. My son is so pushy sometimes if he really wanted to know about something
"Allisa is..Anna's mommy"-I said
"Daddy's wife?"-Marcus asked once again. Urgh , sometimes it is hard to have a prodigy of a son , I sighed and I nod.
"Can I come with you daddy?"-Marcus asked
"Daddy's leaving?"-Marc asked taking his attention away from the window and going to us
"I am.."
"You are going back right?"-Marc asked once again
"I will"-Archer said
"You don't sound so sure"-Marc said suspiciously
"I will make sure to go back , but maybe it will take some time"-he said honestly
"Are you bringing Anna with you?"-Marcus asked
"Yes..maybe"
"Then I want to come too!"-Marcus said
"Baby you can't--"
"I want to come , I'm gonna pack some clothes! , don't leave without me"-Marcus said running towards the staircase
"I'm coming too!"-Marc said running after his brother
"Whewe awe we going?"-Anna asked innocently , Archer took a deep breath and scoop Anna on his lap
"We're going back to the pack , your momma is so sick right now , are you okay with that?"-Archer asked and Anna just nod
"Awnt Aveewa is coming too?"-she asked making Archer looked at me
"I don't think I should come"-I said
"Baby , your parents already know you have been there before. Allisa told them..and the kids will be there , so there's no need to hide everything now"-he said and I bit my lips. I guess I don't have any choice now. And I don't also want to leave my kids with him alone.

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
