ARTEMISIAI didn’t know what I was doing. I believed most times my body works faster than my brain because there was no way I could have stopped the same person I was angry with a few seconds ago.The person I didn’t want to be in the same room as well.But then, I guess I needed to cut him some slack. The dark shadow underneath his eyes couldn’t be ignored, and I wonder if he was suffering the same way as me.As I clasped his hand, he tilted his head to stare at me. “I don’t think being here is a good idea.”“I don’t think so either,” I mumbled. I got a little comfortable and scooted towards him.I ignored all the alarms resounding in my head and nudged him.“You should get comfortable as well,” I said, then bit my lips as his eyes stayed on mine.A blush found its way to my cheeks, and I averted my gaze.For a while, he stared at me, not saying a word, and when he didn’t comply with what I said, I let my hand fall and turned away from him.But he gripped my shoulder.“What?!” I snapp
ARTEMISIA I groaned as my back came into contact with Sin. I didn’t know if he was doing it on purpose- stopping and making me hit him, but it was getting annoying. “Perhaps, you should walk in front of me.” He suggested, and I glared. “Does that matter? I was at the front when you overtook me and you were doing the same thing over again.” Sin sighed and shook out his hair. My eyes lingered on him as the sun shone on his dark brown hair. It seemed longer. I couldn’t remember the last time he shaved it. Still, it didn’t take away his sexiness. His eyes twinkled, and I furrowed my brows. “What?” “What, what?” Sin asked. “You have this knowing look on your face. It makes me want to slap you so bad.” He rolled his eyes. I guess because he knew I couldn’t do what I said. It wasn’t the first time I had threatened to smack his face, and I doubted it would be the last. The last time we were together in the room, I believed it improved our relationship as we had been tolerating each o
SINWe were in the Blood Moon pack, but no one had noticed anything. I sensed Laurent, and the others were a short distance from where Artemisia and I were hiding.'Wait for my call.' I sent a mind link and received chorus feedback in return.I heaved a breath and stared at Artemisia at my side. She fiddled with the chain she donned and attempted a smile on her face.She was frightened. I felt it, even from her sweaty palms and the way her eyes flitted around.She was freaking nervous. I wished I could pick her up and take her back home.But then, it needed to be done.I took her palms in mine and tucked a strand of her hair beneath her ears.I was relieved she didn't slap my hand away.“You'll be fine,” I said, staring into her eyes. “Everyone would be…”“How about you?” She asked, cutting me off.“Don't worry about me.” I chuckled. “I don't mind dying for you.”She glared at me, and her fingers flick my temple.“What was that for?”'We are in the enemy zone and all you can do is act
SINAs I had said, Artemisia was one of the factors keeping me alive.If not for her, I was certain I could have died.Not seeing her at that moment felt as though I was in the middle of a sea… Searching relentlessly for something I believed I wouldn't see.When I heard her voice, my wolf was the first to calm. And I followed suit.“I am okay.” She flashed me a smile.The smile didn't reach her face, but I didn't look further to ask, as I believed she was with the other witches.Again, we were still in disagreement. She smiled at me genuinely sometimes and the other time; it felt as though she'd rather see me in pain.When the number of werewolves in the hall increased, I gazed at Laurent. “You need to take care of things. I need to find their Alpha.”“I'll follow you.”“I'll be fine,” I said. “Watch Artemisia.”Laurent nodded and mumbled, “Be safe.”I knew before I didn't want Laurent near Artemisia or even to breathe the same air as she does.But then, I was certain if anything happe
ARTEMISIA POVI attempted to follow Sin as I glimpsed him running into the building, but Mila tugged me back and insisted we did a barrier spell in the vicinity No one would get out and no one would come in as well if we did.I believe it was the perfect plan, seeing as some of our members were down. Yet, we still stood strong.I noticed the pack we were trying to fight off had transformed.They could do so, and I reckoned it was because the moon was with them.Unlike the pack, I was in.And I feel as though they had that advantage on us as well.They seemed stronger and more energetic.I sighted some werewolves in our pack panting whilst some were down and didn’t bother standing up.But we tried our best. With the help of Laurent and Allison also, the witches and the Blood Moon pack werewolves outside were down.“The hall is next. The Alpha is in there!” Laurent yelled, darting in without waiting for a response.It wasn’t the first time I had seen him doing something impulsively. It
ARTEMISIA 'It's not time for you to die yet.'I turned, shielding my eyes from the bright light.“Goddess Trivia?!” I asked and blinked as she appeared before me.Unlike the first time I had seen her, she was wearing a cape and her hair was concealed. But she still held her torch, and the polecat and she-dog were still at her side.“I died?”Panic surged through me as her black eyes twinkled. I turned around, but didn't see Sin or the people we had been fighting.“What is going on? Am I dead?!” I asked once more, but all I got in return was a smile.“I wouldn't say you are dead, more like say you are unconscious.”“Where is Sin?” I asked again, and Goddess Trivia snapped her hand in front of me.'See him…'I bit my lips as I glimpsed Sin in the crystal ball I was staring at.He didn't look like he would die soon. Heck, he seemed revitalized and, by coincidence, he had transformed into his wolf form.He should not be able to shift. How did that happen?'You helped him, child. They curs
ARTEMISIAA smile spread out on my face as my mind drifted to Sin.It was a week after the battle with the Blood Moon Pack.And a huge celebration for us since the werewolves had been suffering for a long time and Sin's curse got broken as well.I was glad everything had turned out well.We had been attempting to work out everything that happened between us, and it was going well.Although we rarely slept in the same room, I wouldn't object if he came to me.It was Sin who suggested we sleep separately the last time I saw him, and I assumed he was trying to take everything slow. As he had said, and didn't want to overwhelm me.I climbed down from the bed and walked towards the wardrobe.I grasped the nightie Julie and Allison had picked out for me when we went shopping.Seeing it now, I blushed as I thought of all the naughty things that had both said.I slipped into the lacy thigh-length nightie before I changed my mind and slipped into my robeThe last thing I needed was to run into
ARTEMISIA“Please, don't kill me!”I stretched out my hand in front of me, shutting my eyes.My heart palpitated, and my life literally flashed before my eyes.I bit my bottom lip so hard to stop myself from letting out another scream.I imagined how it was going to eat me, disjoint me, and leave my bones on the forest floor to be seen.Likewise, I wonder who was going to find me first and goodness, I couldn't ignore the gloat that appeared on Emma's face in my imagination.And I wanted to kill her more than ever. But I couldn't. I was going to get killed instead.My eyes watered and once again, tears I thought had finished from my eyes poured out.I yelped as I sensed the wolf. Its head was close to my hand, and slowly I opened my eyes to peep at it.My breathing stilled. I sniffled, and I gazed at the wolf once more.The scar by the eyes couldn't be mistaken. I recalled encountering it the last time.Goodness, it was the black wolf! Perhaps I should have looked at it before yelling.
