Artemisia

A 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!”

    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

    ARTEMISIAI did not know how long I had been in the crossed-leg position, my favourite position now. All I knew was I didn't feel like standing from the spot I sat in.I let out a deep breath and clasped my palms in front of me.I felt nothing. Only the soft whistling of the wind that rustled the curtain and the warmth from the surrounding candlelight were the feeling that enveloped me.I was alone with no one to lean on.Yet, it was relaxing to know I was away from everyone. Away from the outside world and the reality of what my life was.The lies, betrayal, and all.Then it all came back to me.My teeth clenched as the memory I had been trying to shove aside surfaced. I bit my bottom lip as it trembled.Sin had cheated. He had freaking cheated on me with my little sister.I wanted to push out the thought, but it wasn't as easy as I expected.I had naively trusted him. Likewise, I thought he was different. He had shown me how callous he could be.I didn't know how I came to prefer him

    ARTEMISIAA loud bang woke me up from my slumber, and I sat up on the bed. I rubbed at my eyes, letting out a moan as my temple throbbed.My eyes were puffy. I didn't need a mirror to see how horrible I looked at the moment, and it seemed like I had cried myself to sleep.Gazing around the room, my brows creased as I noticed the curtains were up. Because, most times, I often slept with my windows covered.Perhaps it was Julie. I was certain she had been in the room as I slept.I lurched as the door went ajar abruptly.“Julie!”“What now?” I murmured with a glare.“We are under attack.” She said breathlessly.“A-attack?” I stuttered, sitting up straight on the bed.“Ye…”The door unhinged before she could finish her statement.I tilted my brows as I gazed at her, then at the people who had barged into the room.Five men stood staring back at me.Why was it all the time I had a problem with Sin that we'd be under attack?Out of the five men that barged into the room, two surged forward.

    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
