ARTEMISIA“Wait!” I hollered as I sighted a red-haired girl from afar.The figure halted and turned slowly towards me. Her face was down, and her long hair covered it, concealing her identity.However, I didn't need to see her face to confirm the identity of the person I had seen.A smile lit up my face as I skipped toward her.“It's been a while,” I said, and my eyes strayed towards the sky.I breathed out as the cool air caressed my face and I gazed back at the girl.“What is going on? Everything has been quiet lately.”I attempted to strike a conversation between us. Yet, she was mute, and she hadn't raised her head to stare at me.I noticed the long dress she donned was stained with dirt. As if she had been in a fight with someone in the mud.“Goddess Artemis?”Her face came up, and I wished it hadn't because what I saw in her eyes, I didn't think I'd be able to forget.The fury in the once beautiful blue eyes which had turned icy blue couldn't be neglected. Her radiant face altere
ArtemisiaA sweet fragrance wafted into my nostrils as soon as I stepped into what seemed like a dungeon of some sort.Warmth enveloped me and I let out a sigh as I stepped further in.My eyes wandered around the quiet hallway and I noticed some inscriptions on the wall, which was illuminated by the torch placed at the top of the wall.My brows creased, and my hands stretched out to touch each inscription. I didn't know what it meant, but I felt drawn to it.“I never thought I'd see someone like you here.”Swirling, my eyes landed on Adrina. Her eyes stayed on mine and a smirk formed on her face.I snorted, “Fancy seeing you too. If I knew you'd be here, I would not have come.”“It means nothing to me.” Adrina shrugged. She stepped toward me and her hand moved to touch my hair.I swatted it before she could do so.“The only thing I like about you is your hair. It's beautiful and just like fire.”“I hate yours.” I scowled.Adrina chuckled, shrugging. “Be appreciative for once…”“Hey!”I
SIN “How dare you?!” “What do you mean by how dare me?” Emma asked back. She glared and folded her arms. “I don't care if you are married or not. I am pregnant, and you are responsible. I won't hide the truth from you if that is what you want!” “Nothing happened between us,” I said calmly. I paced to the window and back to where she stood. “You are not conscious to know that.” Emma pointed out. Emma was pregnant? I couldn't stop thinking about what she said. She was pregnant with my child. How possible was that when nothing happened between us? “No.” I shook my head. I refuse to believe anything she says because most of her words were lies, and she was a manipulator. “Emma…” “Don't Emma me!” She scowled, slapping my hands away as I attempted to touch her. “Don't even think I'll abort it. I'd never do such a thing, and I am keeping the child if you want it or not!” “Abort what?!” I let out a sharp intake of breath as Artemisia stepped into the room. How much had she hea
ARTEMISIA Days went by, and I visited the dungeon each time to practice with the witches. Also, initiation night was around the corner and I needed my power, which seemed dormant, to show forth as it would be a rite of passage for me. Although Mila didn't say it was necessary, I wanted to, as I didn't want the others to feel as if I was treated differently. Again, the prophecy about the moon was becoming clearer; Goddess shall rise to help the chosen one in the quest for the moon and a rift between siblings shall bring the rise of nature. It was barely six months since I arrived in Merene and everything was in disorder. As the goddess Artemis had referred to me as the chosen one, I believed I was and needed to carry out the quest entrusted to me. However, no goddess had risen to help me bring forth my power. Not even Artemis, who wanted me to bring the moon at all costs. How could I do it without my powers? I was pregnant, and yet, I feel as if I was not. My tummy was as flat a
ARTEMISIA “I know you have a lot of things to ask me, darling child, but I don't think now is the time, as I have limited time here.”It didn't startle me. All the goddesses kept saying the same thing whenever they appeared about not having time on their side, and the goddess with me was no exception.“Come.” She murmured, and I nodded.I stood abruptly and followed her out of the room, then I was at the front of the doorway once more. She stepped into the one with the sign of the water bearer, and I let out a breath.The room was the same as the first one, but this seemed less cosy and slightly cooler.“Do I need to explain who I am to you? I doubt so. I see the knowing look in your eyes already.”“You are the Goddess Trivia, otherwise known as the Goddess Hecate by the Greeks.”“Brilliant, child. But I'd prefer if you called me goddess Trivia.” She said.“I know who you are, but my question is, why are you here? I mean no offence, it was Artemis the first time asking me to get back
ARTEMISIAI let out a breath as I twisted my finger for the umpteenth time. My heart rammed in my chest and I bit my bottom lip and dug my feet into the soil so as not to dart out of the crowd because that was what ran through my mind.That was the only thing I could think of, run as fast as I could and not look back until I get to the entrance of the castle for fear of being caught.I didn't know why I was this nervous about what was happening.It wasn't like I was going to be killed, or maybe I was in a sort of funeral.I was at my initiation. Likewise, the other newbies which I met at the coven meeting, and none of them looked as uneasy as I was.None looked like they were about to dash out of the hall with the little opportunity they got.Besides, I was past the difficult stage of the initiation. I believe I shouldn't be nervous any more.But I couldn't help myself. It seemed like with each second I stayed out; the nervousness intensified.My eyes shifted from the elders of witches
ARTEMISIABrushing past me, Emma jetted out of bed and darted into the bathroom.I wrinkled my nose as the stench of vomit filled the air. The urge to barf as well infiltrated my mind, and I shoved the thoughts aside as well as took in two huge gulps of air.I couldn't recall the last time I threw up. I was glad the baby in me was at least treating me in a better way than the father.Sin had become distant again after the initiation ceremony. He had returned to his beastly self, and this time he didn't hesitate to lash out at me.It seemed my coming out as a witch made him more furious with me.I could see the hate in his eyes each time he stared at me.Although he had said he didn't hate me, and it wasn't his doing, I couldn't help but think it was.I was certain if he fought it hard enough, he would become victorious.Rather, he let himself get tossed about and used as a pawn.Most times, like now, I visit Julie to stay in their room when Sin was around. And leave for mine as soon as
ARTEMISIA “Pregnant?!” That was what I could stutter as I gazed at Emma in disbelief. Also, I didn't think I heard everything she said right. How could she be pregnant? I had nothing against it; I had never imagined she was that careless. I heard Sin's name, followed by a cackle from her. My brow tilted, and I folded my hands in front of me. “Who is the father? And do you think you are free to do whatever you want…” “Oh, please,” Emma cut me off with a wave of her hand. “I don't think you heard me right. Perhaps the initiation ceremony made you dumber. I said that your husband is the father of my unborn child!” My world crumbled faster than it should have. I was glad my hand still held the swivel chair because I was certain I would have collapsed from the shock. “W-what?” I gasped out. My breath stuck in my throat and I struggled to form sentences. My eyes flickered to Julie, who didn't look as shocked as I was. Perhaps she had heard the first word before I did. “What do you
ALLISON POVWhat could be worst than having a powerful witch point a deadly torch at you, calling you a cursed child on your joyous day?I doubt there was anything worst than that."She has the cursed mark!" Her voice was so loud it almost deafened me. I staggered backward as she moved towards me.Stumbling on my feet, I fell on the ground and stuttered. "W-what do you mean?"My wide eyes moved around the hall, and I saw everyone was frozen in place.It was as if time stopped, and only me and the great witch could move.She snarled. "This is no place for you, the evil one.""I am not evil!" I said firmly, offended by what she was saying to me.I didn't understand what was happening, but I wouldn't say I liked it.More so, what angered me the most was she had jerked me away from my wolf and accused me of what I didn't know of!"You are, and you shall die!" She said and pointed the torch at me once more.I saw it glow, and fire spewed out of it."Leave me alone!" My yelling helped those
ALLISON POVI had forgotten what today was due to the appearance of the black werewolf.Today was my twentieth birthday celebration and a debut for all young werewolves like me. Also, it was a day to usher out our wolves and be blessed by the great witch.Wolf ushering ceremonies were initially for people who had just had their eighteenth birthday. I was past that age.I was absent from my ushering ceremony on my eighteenth birthday because I was in a coma for two years. I didn't know what happened, but I was told I was left lifeless at the house's entrance, and whoever left me had masked their scent.I kept having flashes about what had happened, yet I could barely remember.Again, I had met my wolf already, but I didn't know what she looked like physically, seeing as I never tried to bring her out. It wasn't as if I hadn't tried; I couldn't.And today was my best bet. I'd get to meet my wolf, Jacy, and unlock all the added benefits it was to bring forth one's wolf. Agility, enhanced
CHASE POVI was given two months to find a mate, or I'd die a slow, painful death. So, I thought of capturing the first woman that came into view and locking her up in my room, beating her up until she agreed to mate with me, or declaring I was looking for a mate in my pack and watching a lot of women wait in line.But I wasn't a beater. I had never hit a woman before despite how annoying they were, and many of the women in my pack were only good as fúck buddies.Kicking at the carcass of the fox I had finished feasting on, I stared at the night sky as several howls resounded from afar.Standing up, I stretched my aching limbs and sniffled as a new scent wafted into the air.The hair on my body prickled, and my ears perked up.I dashed towards an opening and halted."Mate!" Ajax growled.I stared into my mate's eyes and doubted she knew who I was.Five hundred years of being hopeless, roaming the world, and searching for the cursed mate that was talked about in the prophecy. 'The cu
A DELTA FOR THE LYCAN KINGWhen her life got threatened by the great witch, Allison Stone, the Delta of the Blue Moon pack was forced to take refuge in the mysterious Alpha Chase's pack, whom she rejected. Allison realized they had some things in common; they were both cursed and running away from their respective pack. Both had the choice to mate with each other according to the prophecy or let the curse run its course and bring doom to the people around them. They settled on the former, and things were partially going great until she stumbled upon the secret he was hiding. Also, the reason for the grudges between him and her brother. Would she forgive him for keeping it away from her? A great war ensued in the heart of Merene, which needed the intervention of the two most mighty packs. How would Alisson convince her brother Chase wasn't who he believed him to be? And how would Chase make Sinclair believe he didn't do what he assumed he did?◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍ALLISON POVWhat could be w

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
