ARTEMISIA“Where is Emma?” I asked Julie, who was still by the window side.She glanced at me and let out a sigh.“She is asleep. Again, she sleeps like a log.”“I agree,” I mumbled.If possible, anyone could steal her while asleep. I wonder how possible it was for a person to sleep without coming awake till the next morning.I had told her several times, and she had told me she needed enough sleep for her body to develop well.Moreover, she had said that I looked underdeveloped because I barely get a lot of sleep, and I was a picky eater.I didn't feel bad about her statement because I knew that was how she was. She liked using derogatory comments about me.Thinking about it now, I doubt if it was because of sleep, she was curvier than I.Julie was a picky eater, and she could stay awake the whole night. Sometimes, I wonder how she did because she was always cheerful the next morning. Whereas, only a few hours of missed sleep would turn me into a grumpy being.Yet, Julie was curvy, an
ARTEMISIA“What happened last night?” Emma asked, staring at me, then at Julie, who shrugged.I was in the room Emma, and Julie shared. I was assisting the other werewolves in knitting baby clothes.I had volunteered to do so the first time I stepped into the hall. Besides, I believe it was the little I could help in my way. They had limited helpers in the werewolf group because most just put to bed.I had left the room to come here so as not to meet Sin, who was not talking to me currently.As soon as he awoke this morning, he left the room after freshening up.He didn't even acknowledge my greeting when I did, and it was almost as if I was invisible to him.I wondered what was wrong. Although I had said I wasn't ready to deal with his straying emotion, I was worried about him.“An invasion.” Julie smacked the nail file she was using on the vanity table, interrupting my thought.“A what?” Emma creased her brows as she gazed at her.Then at me, “What happened, Missy?”“Don't call me th
ARTEMISIAAfter the Argument with Emma, I left the room. Well, I wouldn't call it an argument, but then, it felt like it, as she didn't want to speak with me any more.I placed the yarn and knitting needle into the last drawer of the nightstand, then walked towards the vanity.My eyes caught the calendar that was beside it as I stared into the mirror.“Today is the 28th of June…” I trailed off, whilst dotting the date with a marker.28th of June?!I flipped backward and noticed it was two months ago I had my period last. I had been with Sin for two months. It looked unbelievable that I had been under this roof for that long.“What is stopping it from coming?” I said to myself, patting my tummy.Perhaps it was due to stress. It happened to me in the past. Whenever I over-exerted myself, it didn't only affect me physically; it affected my period too.Shrugging, I stepped away from it, to the mirror again.Funny enough, I didn't feel the telltale signs of the oncoming period. No sore brea
SINI glimpsed the fear in Artemisia's eyes as she sprinted to the door.Why was she frightened?Oh yeah, it was because of me. I was aware of what was going on, but I couldn't stop myself even if I wanted to.“It's me, Artemisia, your wife.” The last sentence she made kept ringing in my head.I felt something snap in my head and I winced, clutching it as several thoughts flooded into it.I groaned, tumbling back on the bed. My eyes were hazy, and I blinked many times whilst trying to clear my vision. But it was futile due to the blinding headache I was experiencing.“Sin?”I heard Artemisia call out.After many minutes of going through agonies which I didn't know where it came from, I was my normal self once more.“What is going on?” Artemisia asked whilst walking towards me slowly.I noticed the hesitation in her eyes. I didn't blame her for feeling that way.If she hadn't escaped from my clutch, I was sure I would have done something I would have regretted when I was myself again.I
SIN“Hey Alpha.”I swirled, locking eyes with Jeff, a boy of about eighteen years old, or maybe he was older. He was one of the newly recruited werewolves, and he was a rebel, too.Ever since he arrived at the pack, all he ever does was go against the rule.Well, he hadn't done it openly in front of me. He had only done it to other werewolves who gave him orders, except for my Beta, Laurent, and the sentinels who were the training werewolves.Jeff's lips tilted in a lopsided grin, and his green eyes twinkled as he stepped toward me.“Hey Em.”“Annoying twat.”I glanced back at Emma as she snorted. She glared at him as he moved to grip her hand.“Touch me and die.” She threatened, shaking her fist at him.“Hey, I mean no harm.” He chuckled. “I'm just appreciating your beauty.”“Was that meant to be a pickup line?” She gagged, twisting her lips.“Take it whichever way you want.” He smirked, caressing his smooth cheeks.“Get lost, Jeff.” She gritted her teeth as he proceeded to grip her h
SIN“What were you discussing with that…” Adrina trailed off, wrinkling her nose. She frowned whilst staring at Emma, who was still in the spot I left her.She had the same look on her face as Adrina and I doubt if they were both in the same place, a fight, or maybe a showdown would ensue.Adrina was never one to back down, and Emma, too.“It's none of your business,” I said, attempting to leave, but she intercepted me.“It is. If you liked it or not, I'm still your freaking mate and not some nameless human from nowhere.” She gritted her teeth, then pointed to her neck to show me the fading mark.“What do you want, Adrina? You know we can't be together because of the prophecy, and you promised to move on.” I kneaded my temple as a headache began to form.“I did?” She asked, furrowing her brows. “I must be delusional to have promised you that.” She added with an eye roll.“You promised and swore. It is sealed, and you coming back to me means you are breaking it.”“Seeing as the bond mar
ARTEMISIA“The end,” I mumbled, rolling on the vast bed as the rolling credit came on the screen. I shut the laptop I had been watching a film on and gazed towards the white ceiling.“What next?” I asked myself. I stretched forth my hand towards a paper I had listed what to do for the weekend that was sitting on the nightstand.“Watch the night sky,” I mumbled.I hopped out of bed, darted to the closed window, opened it, and lifted my face towards the sky.It was very much the same these past weeks. Cloudless, full moon with a lot of stars decorating it.I enjoyed staring out of the window whilst letting the wind caress my face.But tonight, I wanted to do something different. Maybe something quite dangerous, as Sin would term it.Sin.Five days ago, he left home. Not only him, but he had assembled some werewolves of higher ranks to go hunting.I attempted to talk him out of going because the word hunting frightened me.He said it was for the benefit of the recruits. So they would adap
ARTEMISIAI rolled on the bed, not wanting to stand up because of the warmth. I had no choice but to, as the urgent need to use the toilet.I leapt out of bed as I couldn't hold it any longer. Luckily, I got to the toilet in time before I could embarrass myself.Whilst rubbing my tummy that felt bloated before, I let out a relieved sigh.I trudged to the mirror, glancing into it. It was a habit I had developed since I realized what the mark on my neck meant.Grinning, I caressed it.It still glowed and not fading as I had imagined. I was told if it began fading; it meant either my mate was forgetting about me or he had rejected me without my notice.Yet, I had to agree to the rejection as I was told for it to fade away completely.I breathed out as my mind drifted to Sin. I wondered what he was doing at the moment. Maybe he was thinking about me as I was.But I doubt it.I missed him, even though I wouldn't admit it in his presence. I missed having him around. Broody or not, he had gro

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
