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
SIN“This isn't you,” She said, stumbling towards me. She shook her head, blinking several times.“Who were you entertaining dressing like this?” My eyes narrowed, scowling.“No one.” She mumbled, grinning.“Why do you look so much like my darling, Sin?” She asked, poking my chest.Glancing around the room for the first time since I stepped inside, I noticed the atmosphere was different. It seemed I was in a clubhouse, rather than the room I had spent most of my teenage years in.The sofa that was in the middle of the room was now at the side, close to the window. Disco light flickered from the lamp which stood on the nightstand, creating a naughty setting.Where had she got it from?Although it was the same on the outside, I had heard the seductive music and her giggling. I had waited for a few more seconds whilst I thought she was with a man in the house. I trusted her. Yet, she might have planned on how to betray me whilst away.It wasn't the first time women pulled out such a trick
ARTEMISIA“Hello, Queenie.”Laurent smirked as I ran into him in the hallway.I rolled my eyes at the sarcasm dripping in his voice. It was his usual way of referring to me. At least it was better than him staring at me like I had fallen off from somewhere and tagging me Sin's Queen rather than my given name.He had said I was too inexperienced to be a queen to him. When he said inexperienced, he meant, I wouldn't be able to handle the supernatural world as time went on. That I would flee in no time.He said so in front of Sin, which had ticked him off.I wasn't bothered. It would not be the first time Laurent was making snide remarks about me.Ignoring him was the best I could do, and I realized doing so also made him furious. But then, whether he was furious or not, I didn't care about his feelings.Swiftly, he gripped my hand before I could round the corner.I gasped as he yanked me, “Let go of me!”“Stop acting as if you are a mighty human because you happened to be Sin's mate.”“W
SINI drew in a deep breath and let it out. Despite that, my thoughts were muddled.I stiffened as I felt Artemisia's hand on my shoulder.“What is going on?”I heard the concern in her voice, and I didn't need to turn to know how the expression on her face would be. She tends to crease her brows and chew her button lip whenever she was worried.How should I explain it to her, and where was I going to start from? I mused.Perhaps I needed to clear my thoughts first to make her understand what was going on with me. Because explaining some things to her could be quite difficult sometimes, before and after telling her about my situation, she was going to bombard me with questions. I need to be prepared for that.Yet, it doesn't matter if I told her later or not. I was certain she would get to know, and it might be a bit too late.“Why would anyone want you dead? I mean, Laurent is your brother. He should not say things like that.” She mumbled, caressing my back.So naïve, just like how my
“Sister dearest.” Emma grinned as I passed by her in the hall.“Emma,” I mumbled, ignoring the scorn in her voice. We weren't still talking to each other like before since the event that happened back in her room.I was fine with it, as I didn't need to hear her constantly talk about my husband.“It's a surprise to see you quite cheerful this morning. I mean, you are always grumpy.” She mumbled, scrunching up her face.I rolled my eyes at her assertion; I wasn't always grumpy. I guessed it was when Sin and I often fought with each other. She was talking about. I usually look furious and took it out on others.But ever since we sorted our difference, everything seemed better. Although not better, as there were times he lost his cool.I know it wasn't his intention to hurt me. And I wished I could help him deal with his raging emotion. But it was better to leave an enraged Sin alone than get in the way, which might seem risky, as he frequently goes overboard.“Well, I noticed you aren't
ARTEMISIAI frowned as Emma giggled at whatever Adrina was saying.Since when did Emma and Adrina become close?Well, Emma was more social than I was, but I had my share of friends I moved around with as well. So, I didn't mind not being that social.However, it was weird seeing my little sister with the witch vibing as if they were old-time pals.“It's so odd she's getting along with her.” Julie grimaced, voicing out my thoughts.I nodded. The fact that some days ago, they were almost at each other's throats was what made it odder.Anyone Emma made as an enemy on the first day, she never gets together with them, whether they changed or not.They'd be her foe for life.Even Adrina, the first time I had seen her at the reception, didn't look like the person that was enthusiastic about keeping anyone as a friend. Or maybe she was not just interested in me.She had immediately loathed me. But, I believe it was because of Sin.As if she knew we were talking about her, Adrina nudged Emma. B
SINDamned Nightcrawlers!‘Nightcrawlers’ were the term used for nocturnal supernatural creatures. Especially the werewolves since they shifted only at the full moon and could only be seen when it was dark.They seldom moved by the day in their wolf form.The vampires, too, were in that category. Without a spell to protect them from the ray of the sun, they wouldn’t be able to move out.There were many others as well.A twig snapped and my thoughts shifted back to what was before me.Artemisia’s scent still lingered in the air even though it was faint. It was a reminder that she was here.Why did I ever agree to be out with her?I knew something was off the moment we entered the woods. Even before then, the air had been chillier, and the moon was weirdly brighter than normal.I should have talked her out of it, but I guessed I couldn’t resist the way she stared at me whilst pleading. I found it adorable. The way her almond turquoise blue eyes enlarged and how she pushed her lips forwar
SIN“Well, I guess we should…”Laurent trailed off as the door to the hall creaked open. Artemisia stepped inside, and she halted in the middle, glancing at everyone before proceeding to my side.She had been doing this lately. Since I told her about the supernatural world, she wanted to know everything that was going on.Hence, her frequent visit to the meeting hall.Even though I left some information out for her good, she often tried her best to get to the root.“Proceed,” I mumbled, glaring at Laurent as he continued staring at her.Laurent smirked. “Since the attack seemed to be against the Packs, I believe we need to know what exactly is causing it. We can’t just rush into a battle without knowing the cause.”First time hearing Laurent being reasonable and thinking of everyone other than himself.Normally, he would prefer we charge and annihilate every opposing force. Now it was otherwise.I gaze at him for a few more seconds before shaking my head. There was nothing different ab

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
