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,
ARTEMISIAAnguishIf there was something better to describe the way I feel at the moment, I would gladly be use it.Not only did it feel as though I was carrying a weight which wasn't mine, but also, in between, my legs throbbed and my stomach ached.It felt as though something had been ripped out of me forcefully.My back was another story. I couldn't describe the aching feelings that shot through me at intervals whilst I turned.It even made me wonder if the bed I was on was made of spikes.But then, I knew it wasn't.Also, all I desired was for the aches within me to end as soon as they could.I tapped on the bed and gripped the duvet whilst attempting to lift myself.“Artemisia…”My eyes flickered open as I heard my name. It was more like a whisper but due to the proximity of the voice, I heard it clearly.Sin.He was holding my hands, and his head bowed. I heard him sniffling and wondered if he had been crying. When his head came up as my hand brushed his messy hair, he stared at
ARTEMISIA“No, it can't be,” I croaked out as soon as I regained my sanity.My throat was sore from having yelled too much, and I clenched my hands into fists.I was certain I was hearing things.There was no way Sin could have said those words to me.He didn't look as though he was joking, nor did Julie look like she was.The tears streaming down her cheeks were a signal that it indeed happened.Also, I didn't think any of them could play a joke as expensive as that on me.“It's my fault.” Sin said.“It is,” I replied, turning to him.My eyes narrowed, and I gritted my teeth. “It is your f**king fault, Sinclair!”It was my first time saying his name in full, and it sounded awful.I hopped down from the bed, and snapped. Or rather, something inside of me snapped.I stretched out my hands and shoved Sin into the wall with all the strength that was left in me.“Artemisia!” Julie yelled. “What has got into you? It isn't his fault. You should let him go.”Despite Julie's plea, I didn't let
SIN“What do you want now? Are you ready to apologize for what you did earlier? If yes, just know I am not having it.” I said, not turning to glance at him.“Apologize?” Laurent scoffed. He strode from the door post into the room. “That's the last thing I will ever do.”“Then what the fuck do you want from me? From Artemisia?!” I shouted.I couldn't help myself. The anger was still in me. And now, Artemisia was sleeping. I believed it was the right time to finish what we started.“Whatever is going on in your mind, I wouldn't do that if I were you,” Laurent said.I halted in my tracks, glaring at him. “You need to stay away from Artemisia. She isn't even your mate. I don't know the number of times we are going to fight on this. She is freaking mine.”“She isn't mine,” Laurent affirmed with a nod. “But you don't deserve her, either.”I let out a relieved sigh. At least he wasn't claiming to steal her away from me. I don't care what he says.So far, it wasn't about Artemisia. I believe w
ARTEMISIA“No…” I cried as the woman flashed me a wicked smile. A veil of some sort concealed her face, but I could see her pearly white teeth as she grinned.“Please, spare the child!”“Too late, darling.” She cackled. And tossed the infant wrapped in a swaddle in the air.My heartbeat faltered. I was certain it did as I jetted forwards to catch the child as it descended.But I wasn't fast enough.I believed I could have met up, but something happened along the way, which made it seem almost impossible.“I---I…”“I told you.” The woman said. She tilted her head whilst I snatched the swaddle on the cool grass.The child wasn't in it. My baby wasn't in it!“W-what did you do?” I gazed at her. My eyes widened with each word I made, and my throat constricted.“I did what should have been done.” The woman said and yanked me away from the ground.She closed her hands around my neck before I could make meaning of what was happening.“Now, it's your turn to be extinguished.” She whispered in
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
