ARTEMISIA“What is that?”“What does it look like?” I retorted, staring at Sin.“I don't know.” He mumbled. “Besides, it's irritating when you answer a question with another question.”I shrugged whilst continuing with what I was doing. “I didn't say you could ask me a question, either.”Sin shook his head as he walked toward the massive mahogany wardrobe. “You seemed grumpy this morning. I doubt if it's because of the nightmare you had, or maybe that is the way you wake up each morning.”“I hadn't noticed because I barely sleep in this room.” He added. “What is going on with you?”“The thought of you and your presence makes me grumpy,” I replied, scowling.To be honest, I didn't know the reason I was. After using my phone the moment he left last night, I had eventually gone back to sleep.When I woke, my mood had been off, and I chose to do something worthwhile instead of sulking around the room.I doubt it was because of the nightmare, as it wasn't my first time having it.I believe
ARTEMISIAI trudged towards the locked door as a knock sounded on it.“Ma'am, this is for you.” A man, maybe in his early twenties, with a baseball cap on said. I couldn't see his face. So, I concentrated on what was in his hand.A smile brightened my face as I glanced at the delivery man that had brought in my order.I didn't know a pizza could get delivered in Merene. Merene was farther away from home, and I wasn't able to locate where I was exactly on the map. Or maybe my map reading knowledge wasn't sound enough.I had asked Sin, who had ignored me as usual and left without saying anything to me.Ever since the event this morning when he had seduced me, I hadn't seen him in the room. But I had caught a glimpse of him with Emma.Even though I didn't want to dwell too much on the compromising position they had been in because I was sure my sister would never betray me by doing some naughty things I had conjured in my mind.Seeing them from afar had infuriated me. I wondered if they h
ARTEMISIAI didn't know what happened after Sin gripped me. But, I was told I passed out. I had been out since an hour ago and when I woke, I saw Emma and Julie by my side tending to an injury I didn't know I had got.I groaned whilst sitting up. My body was sore, and it felt like I had been dragged out from underneath a truck.“You need to lay back down,” Julie said. “Your husband's order.” She added.Husband's order?Then it all came back to me. Everything that had happened, I remembered all.Oh god, my husband was a werewolf. Sinclair Steele was a freaking Werewolf!Okay, maybe he wasn't. But, not every human casually stuck their hands into a beast's chest pulling the heart out.I gagged whilst the image of Jamie's heart dripping with crimson liquid infiltrated my mind. Leaping out of the bed as the nausea I had been attempting to curb surfaced, I dashed into the bathroom and emptied the contents of my stomach into the toilet.Blood, Jamie, pizza, werewolf.I hurled more as images o
SINI growled whilst staring at the hole I had made through the wall.The distressed look on Artemisia's face when I saw her running surfaced in my mind. She had looked so frightened that I wanted to punch the one who terrified her.At first, I thought she just fled out of the room since she could be sometimes weird. Until I glimpsed her torn clothes.Was the bastard trying to take advantage of her? Under my freaking roof?!He should have known before coming here because I was sure if the b*st*rd had thought things through, he wouldn't have.Artemisia was not as safe as I had thought. It was because of her I had fled to come to Merene. I didn't want any harm to befall her, even if she meant nothing to me.I wasn't ready to answer some silly questions about her well-being. Hence, the reason I had brought her here.Also, I believe since Merene was my domain, and she was my queen, the people present would guard her with their last breath.I wondered where everyone was. Why weren't they at
ARTEMISIAAs soon as Sin left the room, I took the pills that were on the nightstand. It relieved the pain I was feeling.I climbed down from the bed slowly as I felt the need to use the toilet.I walked towards the white sink after doing the deed to wash my hands, and I let out a moan whilst cool water wetted them.Also, I winced. I glanced at my hand to notice an injury that was already turning purple.A grimace escaped my parted lips as I stared at the ugly mark lining my wrists.Jamie must have gripped me too hard for my skin to be bruised. Even though his grip hadn't been rough, I was sure the markings would show due to how pale my skin was. Besides, I hadn't noticed because I was trying to escape from him.Sighing, I kneaded my temple as it thumped. Perhaps I should rest more, as Sin had suggested.I wondered where he had gone. He had stormed out in annoyance. It almost felt as if he was going to murder anyone that had put me in the current position I was in.My heart warmed as I
SIN I slipped into the large hall we often gathered for meetings. It was situated beside the palace building, and it was a building of its own. Anyone that didn't know about us werewolves, especially the humans, would think the building was a large warehouse because they built it that way. Since I came back to Merene, I had renovated it, making it look newer on the inside. Whereas on the outside, anyone could tell it had been existing for a long time because of the structure that was beaten by the extreme weather. I crinkle my nose as the scent of acrylic paint drifted into it. I walked towards the round table and sat on the vacant chair that was far from the others, which signalled I was the leader. Clutching my hands together, I set them in front of me on the table and glanced around. I believe everyone in the pack was present. No one dares defied an order whenever I wanted them to gather for a meeting. Not even my mother, the dowager queen. I wasn't strict, but it had been a ru
SIN It was nighttime when I stepped into the room again. I saw Artemisia standing by the window side, staring up at the light of the moon. She tilted her head and placed her hands on the sill. The nightie she wore ruffled as the wind floated into the room, and her long waist-length ginger hair followed suit. I groaned as her delicious scent glided into my nostrils. My pants tightened, and I glanced at the already forming dent on it. It was just like always. I wondered if I would ever be free from the spell she had placed on me, as I didn't see it to be an ordinary thing. No woman had ever affected me this way. For others, when I felt like getting laid, I needed to be close to them, and initiate some sort of romance before I got turned on.Sometimes, I don't get turned on, I just do what I want and leave almost immediately. I wasn't the one to dwell on a fling or a one-night stand. I like to tell the women I wanted to be with beforehand, so they wouldn't read any meaning to whate
ARTEMISIA I watched Sin as he strode to the window side. He tugged his hair and let out a low growl, making me think about what was happening to him. Perhaps he was transforming? I mulled whilst remembering what I read on the internet.He had said I shouldn't believe anything that was said there. But I could not help but wonder how he often transforms. Would his bones break? Would he be in agony, as stated? And would he be bloodthirsty and look monstrous? I couldn't stop picturing the way he would be in his wolf form. I had only seen his eyes swirling from black to golden. It was terrifying when I glanced at him during the transformation. I doubt if I would want to stay in the same room as him if I see him in his wolf form. “If the question is too difficult for you to answer, you need not,” I said, catching his attention. Even though I know what the terms I asked him to explain meant, I wanted more clarification from him. He was a werewolf, and he would know how it works. “No

ARTEMISIA “Hey.” I flashed a smile towards the platinum blonde that was carrying a toddler.She looked to be in her last trimester, and I was told she was Sin's distant family wife.We were having a girls' day out and discussing the past event.I learnt about what happened to Emma and Adrina the night after Sin and I made love. We had taken the night to reminisce and even the day after.It had been a joyous reunion not only for me but for everyone in the pack.I was happy, overly happy to be back home.I wonder what would have happened if I stayed a day in Chase's pack.Sin had told me he lost hope and wanted to give up on everything after he assumed I was dead.I wonder who did it- stained my cloth with blood to make it look like I died. Perhaps it was Chase. I recalled he had been trying to make me stay in his pack.Moreover, I was glad I arrived the day I did, and Goddess Trivia had urged me as well.“Did you hear from Emma again?” Julie asked.“I did,” I said with a sigh.I had f
ARTEMISIAI didn’t know what happened and the reason I began crying.But I believed it was because of the past pain I kept inside of me.The hurt I had bottled inside of me and I hadn’t let go of it until now.“Artemisia?”I nodded as he asked. He took two steps toward me and I did the same.I wrapped my arms around him and inhaled his fresh scent.Just like the Sin I know. Although he was a bit thinner and kind of unkempt with his overgrown hair and beards.He still smells like Sin. I inhaled and exhaled slowly.“I am sorry,” I mumbled. Even though he didn’t hug me back, I only wanted to feel his warmth. I didn’t care about him hugging me back.I missed him so much and I doubt words were enough to say how much I felt at the moment.“I’m sorry,” I repeated. Then I raised my head and brushed my lips against his cheeks.“Artemisia.” Sin said again.“It is me. I came back to you. I want this to work again.”“You are not dead?”I refrained from the embrace and stared at him.The uncertaint
ARTEMISIAA Month Later I smiled whilst glancing at my back. I left the Moonstone pack earlier, and I was glad it was on good terms.Likewise, I rejected Chase's offer and told him I'd rather be his younger sister.Although he waved it off and laughed stating siblings never kissed each otherBut it was fun being with him. I regained myself. I wasn't bitter like I was once whilst in Merene.And I had trained myself properly and took away the negative energy from me as I learnt from Mila and Goddess Trivia.Also, I learnt some new spells which might have come in handy whilst I was in Merene, and it would have enabled me to be more discerning.Goddess Trivia still appeared to me. And it was by her wisdom I was returning today.It hadn't been an easy task, but then, I didn't think it was even easier whenever I thought of all that I left behind.My home, my new family, and my mate, Sin.I wonder how he was faring. Perhaps, he had moved on and forgotten about me…“No,” I mumbled to myself.
SINOut of everything that I wanted to hear from her, I wasn't expecting that. But again, it didn't surprise me.Nonetheless, I was curious how Laurent, and she, had done it. I hadn't seen her with Laurent before. They never spoke.It was confusing, and I didn't want to assume anything yet as well because, for all I know, Emma was a liar.“Laurent?!”Adrina was the first to break the silence.“He did,” Emma affirmed. “I am sorry, Sinclair. Everything I did, I didn't know why I did it, and I wish I could see Artemisia to apologize.” She fell to the ground and sobbed harder.“Bitch!” Adrina yelled. “Tell me you are lying about what happened between you and Laurent. He didn't father that bastard in you?”“He did,” Emma said. “I wish I can say otherwise.”Adrina bristled and yanked on her hair. “I am doomed.”I did not know what she was talking about, and listening to Emma's tears got on my nerves.I sighted Laurent strolling towards where we were at the end of the hallway.He halted as hi
SINI grimaced as I came awake. My head pounded and I winced.I groaned, feeling the sour taste in my mouth and shielding the bright light streaming into the room with my hand.As I lifted myself slowly, I rested my back on the headboard of the bed.I didn't know how much I drank yesterday, but I was certain Laurent had dragged my butt back home after taking too much blood.I frowned, recalling everything. It had been a while since I went on a killing spree and since Artemisia's arrival; I hadn't engaged in such activities, and I had vowed never to do so or show off my monstrous side.Now that she was gone, I believed it was coming back. It was only a matter of time before it hit me full force.And I would turn into a monster. A full-blown berserker.I let my head rest in my hands for some time before climbing down from the bed and trudging to the bathroom.I turned on the tap and splashed some water on my face to keep myself sober.However, I feel light-headed and as if I was walking
SIN“Hey.”I grimaced as a blonde whispered into my ear.She wrapped her arms around me and pushed her breasts to my back.My eyes strayed to Laurent, and I shook my head.He shrugged and mouthed, “I didn’t call her.”“I thought you were lonely, and I wanted to keep you company.” She murmured into my ears.I didn’t know why. Her voice made my skin crawl and made me feel like throwing up.I wanted to shove her hands off of me, but I didn’t want to be rough.Also, she reminded me of Emma. I guess it was the way she spoke and the silly scent of her that got on my nerves.“How about we play a game?”“Sorry, darling.” I said, “I’d prefer to be alone.”“Don’t be a spoilsport.” She said, “I came here willing, and letting my friends mock me would be awful. Do you want that?”“I want to be alone.” The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I bit on it.I doubted she’d let me go, even if I told her.She seemed like a clinging type. The one who never relented and wanted what they couldn’t get.J
ARTEMISIA POVI didn't know what to say to him.However, looked as though he would break down if I rejected his advance as I stared him in the eyes.But then, lying to him wasn't what I could do, and I didn't want to lead him on either. That would be awful if I did the former.“Perhaps doing this will make you see how I feel about you.”I huffed as I felt a tug on my hand. My hand spread on his shirt as he held the small of my waist and his head dipped.“What…” The word I wanted to say died in my throat as his lips covered mine.He was kissing me.Chase was freaking kissing me.But how do I feel?My heart raced, and I scrunched up his shirt, pushing my body into his.I heard him moaning as the kiss deepened.That was when I got back to my senses.“W-what…?” I stuttered as I nudged him.“I'm sorry,” Chase said, darting out of the room and leaving me speechless.My hand went to my lips, and I pinched myself.Goodness, I had kissed him, and it wasn't a dream.I didn't know the reason I le
SINI paced around the room and sighed. No sign of Artemisia yet, and it was going to be a week now.I could barely think straight as I centred all my thoughts on her, and it annoyed me I wasn't discerning enough the night she ran.I blamed myself each day for not chasing Emma away from the room as soon as I noticed her.Heck, I blamed myself for entertaining her shenanigans.I blamed myself for letting her stay more than her visit.The first time Artemisia had changed her attitude towards her, I should have sent her packingBut then, I hadn't because of Artemisia.I thought she could use a sister and friend in a foreign land.But she had destroyed everything. She freaking did it without caring about the lives at stake.I grasped the wine glass filled with bourbon and tossed it towards the door.“Sinclair!”My eyes collided with Emma as she stepped into the room in a tight, mid-length dress.It showed her baby bump, which was getting huge, and her ample breasts were on display.“You co
