Alpha Sin 70
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“I believe there are a lot of humans here with extraordinary abilities. Wow, it's so nice to see a shapeshifter." The man with the buzz-cut asserted.A Shapeshifter?I knew what it meant. But how was Julie a shapeshifter?I had been with her my whole life, and I hadn't for once thought of her having supernatural power.Also, it didn't seem like she was just knowing as well because she was so comfortable shifting!And I recalled the several times she came into my room saying she'd protect me and I had laughed it off.I had brushed it off as well and thought her to be powerless.But she wasn't the person I thought she was. She wasn't powerless.“Shapeshifter or not, you stand no chance, b*tch!” The lanky blond yelled and charged.Julie did the same as well. I heard a howl after they collided with each other. Also, a bone-crushing sound. Maybe Julie had broken a bone, or the person she was facing had. I didn't know.Startled, my eyes rounded and followed the movement of all that

SINThe moment Artemisia's eyes shut, it felt as though it was the end for me.I wanted to let go of everything and freaking go to the werewolf Pack that had cost me my mate.But I couldn't go unprepared, and I was aware it was my fault. Everything that happened was my freaking fault. I had let her down.I grunted and yanked at my hair in frustration.Not only that, but I had let her be in harm's way. Whereas I could have easily protected her.And I was the Alpha for crying out loud!It was pathetic. I kept on shoving her in front of the danger. Although I did not hurt her on purpose, I couldn't help but feel I was the one who orchestrated everything.It wouldn't be the first time she was getting hurt.And each time it happened, I had the power to not let it.Gazing at her pale face, I recalled the attack.They warned me before it occurred. Nico had f**king informed me to get prepared, as they were coming for Artemisia.They had the information beforehand, and he had relayed it to me,
