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
ARTEMISIAI turned to see Alisson sauntering towards us.She clenched her fists and scowled.“This isn't any of your business. Stay the f**k out of this.” Emma glared.She stepped in front of me as Alisson neared us.“Artemisia is my family, and she is my f**king business. You need to watch how you speak to her!” Alisson yelled. She got into Emma's face.I had to pull her away because I was aware she never wasted too much time in taking down her opponent.She looked as though she was going to punch Emma.“It's fine, Ally. I am used to her nastiness.”“Don't get used to it. I can't believe I will see someone who is even more awful than I am…” Alisson snorted.“You brought one of your bitches to fight me?” Emma asked as she stepped towards me again.“Emma, I don't want to hurt you.” I winced as she gripped my hair.“Hurt me! I do not care, but I won't let you off easily. A whore that knows nothing other than to open her legs for my man.”I gritted my teeth and slapped Emma's hand away. T

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
