The Warrior's Mate Chapter 29: Broke up
"Just talk when you're ready," I whisper, rubbing his back as I feel him shake, his face buried in the crook of my neck. His lips tremble against my skin, his eyelashes becoming damp as they brush against my skin. Something happened and I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive the future king. I hold the youngest prince in my arms, telling him he doesn't have to talk, to just not hold back anymore. I've seen him cry before, but barely much. Emotions are hard to see from this male, but for me, he doesn't hold back."Art," he whispers, taking in a shaky deep breath. "Can we get out of here? Just run away for a few days? Go somewhere to do something?"He's wanting to run from his problems just as I was doing weeks ago and still am."Why? Where will that get you? A short break from reality? You will only return weaker because you know running will let you escape for a little," I explain, trying to not speak too loud, his hold loosening up. Soon, he pulls away, his eyes red as he nods hi

My mother watches me as I head up to my room, closing the door behind me as I don't bother to lock it. I know he's going to try and get in here anyway. He always finds a way. I can hear them downstairs, wrapping up their conversation as I plant myself into my bed, the covers thrown over my body as I enclose my body in the sheets. My hands fly to my mouth, muffling the sobs that follow as my eyes are filled with tears. I did this all because I love someone else. I did this and have yet to reject him.I can hear the footsteps, how he gets closer every second. I now wish I had locked my door, to at least feel him by two minutes and collect myself. Rolling onto my stomach, I close my eyes, my eyelashes wet as they brush against my pillow. The door opens, his scent strong as he enters the room, striding in as if he owns the place, but I know he's here because he knows I'm in a bad state now."Artemis?"I pull the covers down a tad, bunching the ends just below my nose to hide my trembling

A blush creeps up on my cheeks, my head cocking to the side as my eyes widen.Zero had playfully bitten my neck. It means something more in werewolf culture than human. It symbolizes someone's want to mate. It symbolizes someone's want to not only mate, but also claim. He wants to claim me as his.He's moving too fast. Faster than you should as a non-mate. Do I mind? A little because it scares me. It scares me how fast we are moving."Are you okay?" He asks, concerned lacing his words as I nod my head."I'm good, just zone out," I explain, offering Zero a soft smile as he nods."Let's head back to shore."Within five minutes we are back, the music loud as the group has a bonfire going. We walk up to the group, mingling with everyone as I greet people I haven't seen for what feels like ages.Green eyes. Bright green and red hair."Artemis," Mia greets, fixing a smile onto her face as I respect her. She's being mature and not holding a grudge when I would. Hell, if I were her, I would h

Higanbana pack, the special force of wolves dedicated to protecting the kingdom of werewolves. The pack members came from the bloodline of Fenrir, the guard of Selene. It said they were skilled in any fight in both human and werewolf form. They were the warriors that once fought the hunters and vampires that wanted to eliminate werewolves. They were the most respected pack even if their existence was purely kept hidden. Only when the king summons them do they answer in secrecy.What made the Higanbana pack strong? It was because their blood was pure and never mixed with any other werewolf blood. They never had a mate. Moon Goddess made sure of that. For warriors like Higanbana wolves, mate was the last thing on their minds. But for the last twenty years, Higanbana never produced male offspring even the Alpha.And that’s why, I, Artemis Knight, the next Alpha was being paired with an outsider. “Dad, this is unfair!” I screamed at him. “Do I not have the right to choose my pair?” I co

I stopped my tracks as I smelt something so strong, so desiring to me that made my nose twitch. The scent had such an amazing smell… It was like a combination of citrus and yet a rainforest scent. Oh no..oh no no.. I don't have a mate! I'm not destined to have one!My wolf whimpered, begging to go close. I was confused by her statement. I shook my head. My wolf barked at me in order to hurry up. I walked through the hall, sniffing everyone that passed through me. A female nurse with strawberry hair walked past me. She seems like one of those types of nurses that are extremely exhausted seeing her darkening eye bags. She looked like she'd collapse anytime. I shrugged. In reality I didn't give a shit. This isn't my world. Human world doesn't exist in my eyes. I can't have feelings for them or interact with them. It's a part of werewolves, especially Higanbanas’.The fresh scent drove me insane. I couldn't pay attention to Charlotte anymore because my knees were shaking.“Damn it. We

“That’s absolutely no, Artemis!” Dad said in the final tone. My wolf was never submitted to anyone but when Dad became serious, she chose not to ignite fire. “But Dad, this human is my mate. My soulmate and other half,” I replied, determined to have him no matter what. “But he’s a human! We do not mingle with humans. The other pack yes, but not us. There was a reason why we can’t! What if he’s a member of Hunter? What if he’s a spy?”I started to sob. My wolf whined. “Please, Dad. Please, I’m begging you,” I said. Dad inhaled, trying to suit his wolf that was now trying to come out. Mom started to suit him, helping him to calm his wolf. “Okay,” he said after a couple of minutes, and finally his wolf calmed down. “If you really want to have your human mate, I’ll give you a chance. I’m giving you a year. You have to convince the King and the whole Higanbana. Prove them that this human mate of yours can be trusted. If he’s not, you know it means his death and you will be the one who

“Where have you been? Mary told me you filed a leave for two days,” Eliot told me when I went to work two days after staying in my apartment and pretended that I was not home. Eliot has been checking out for me for the past two days and although I was inside, I never answered his calls.He’s with his girlfriend, the girl who had been rumored to be his fiance and who was also a nurse. She was already transferred to the hospital we work at on the last day. “Oh sorry, I was with my family,” I replied, masking my pain with a smile. “Oh, okay. By the way, this is Mia, my fiance,” he proudly introduced his girlfriend to me. “Mia, this is Artemis, my best friend and the one who saved me when I was a child,” he proudly said. “Fiance? I thought-”“I’m pregnant,” Mia replied with her sweet smile. I looked at Eliot, confused as my heart broke into a million pieces. He gently took my hand, tingles exploded but I wasn’t longer happy about it. “Mia and I have been in a relationship since coll

Eliot’s Point of ViewWhen I was a child I used to believe my grandma was the best woman in my life. She was kind and gentle but I guess you would never judge a person by their outer appearance. She was the worst and she’s not even related to me. All I knew was that she was something and my mom entrusted me with her. “Eliot!” I heard her screaming out of my room. “Get up!”As soon as I heard her voice, I woke up and scrambled on the edge of my mattress, under my threadbare blanket. The scuffs on the walls were all too familiar, as was the shabbiness of the few items carefully set in their places. But as miserable as it was to look at, I'd prefer to stay in the unkempt little room than face what was outside of it.Unfortunately, I didn't have the luxury of doing that. I swung my legs down to the floor and quickly dressed. I wasn't fast enough."Eliot!" The harping screech of my name echoed from below. Not wasting time, I hurried down before she had a chance to get even angrier with m

The Warrior's Mate Chapter 28: Love
"Come on," I whisper, placing a soft kiss onto his cheek, helping him to his feet. With an arm around his waist, I led him to my car, helping him into the passenger's side. Getting in, I pull out of my parking space, turning on the radio as a small smile crosses his face with the song that plays. It's a song I've watched him bang his head to and sing along with. He hums to the tone to keep himself calm as I drive, the road lit by my lights as I try to get back fast.As we pull into my driveway, I turn off the car, unbuckling as I lean back in the seat. Turning my head, I met his gentle gaze. "Why?""Why what?" Zero asks, trying not to move his mouth too much as the blood is starting to dry up."Why do that? Why stand up to him if you knew what he would do?"He shakes his head, getting out of the car as I let out a deep sigh. Hopping out, I help him to the front door, telling him to stay silent as we enter. By the time we're in my room, I sit him down on my desk's chair, rushing into
The Warrior's Mate Chapter 27: Confused
"How about I ask you something now," Elior changes the subject. He's not ready to know the truth yet. "What do you think about taking a day off from town and heading to the beach?"It's a four hour drive. I would be with Eliot for four hours one way and going to the beach."I was wondering if you would want to go?"I don't hesitate. "Of course!" He smiles, taking a hold of my hands as we fill the night with conversations about the future and the past. The past holds bitter memories and sweet memories. The future holds bitter memories and sweet memories. "When?""It's in three days.” he informs, leaning back in his chair as I do the same. We look out upon the night, fingers interlocked, "Count me in," I add.Within ten minutes we are back to his car, Eliot helping me in as I kick off my heels for the night, blisters already present. Sometimes being a woman can suck ass. As Eliot hops in and pulls out of the parking garage, we hit a red light, and I take no time to waste as I pull

I stop in my steps, raising an eyebrow as Zero walks forward, his thin black tie still on yet loose, his white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, his tan skin on display as I know that shirt hiss a well-worked body. After all, no one who has been with him keeps anyone from the details that he's got a great body. Hell, it doesn't take 20/20 vision to know that."Tell me that you love only Eliot and no one else. Tell me that no one else holds a piece of your heart except him and you'll never have to deal with me again." I know Zero's wolfsbane mixed alcohol limit, and I know he's drunk himself enough to drown in it. All because of me. All because I cannot be unfair to my mate."Artemis?!"I tilt my head to the side as he stands right before me, his fingers under my chin as I look up at him through my eyelashes."You know the answer," I whisper, leaning into his touch as I offer him a sly smile. "You don't need my answer to be sure in the matter." His eyebrows knit together as I know wh
The Warrior's Mate Chapter 25: The Other Fate
"When did your feelings for me even start because four weeks ago you were taking the girl Jessica home." Jessica, the raven-haired girl I watched him drive her home after their date."She told me to date him." I raise an eyebrow. “Seriously?”“What? Is there something wrong about dating someone who wishes to be dated?”“Playboy.”“I’m not. I’m a gentleman.”I rolled my eyes at him."And then I realized the strong girl before me who loved her mate so much that she would not interfere with her mate because he was happy with someone else. I realized you were strong, kind, brave, and so much more." He pauses. "Jessica never made it to my house. For I could not drop the emotion of hate for Eliot as I watched what he was putting you through."I shake my head, my eyes tearing up. "I am with Eliot and I need to see if we are going to work.""So you'll think about us?" Zero asks, a ghost smile spreading across his face."I'll think about Eliot and I because he is who I am with."Zero's smil
The Warrior's Mate Chapter 24
"Artemis, mates are important, but sometimes, fate doesn't intend for a happily ever after,” Zero said. “Especially for Higanbana. Mates are nothing.”He's right. But I don't want to admit it. My parents weren't mates but paired, even so they loved each other like mates. They were head over heels for one another. Yet again, Zero’s parents are mates and barely survive to mask their true relationship to the pack before. But I will never take my chance for granted. "I've waited for a mate for so long. And that was Eliot," I whisper, my voice weak as I look over Zeros shoulder, unable to look him in the eyes. “I didn't interfere with him and Mia because I knew he loved her. I respected that and let it happen because he deserved that happiness. But now he and Mia are done and I know he is happy."Zero shakes his head, running a hand through his thick locks of hair as I take in a deep breath. "I love him.""What is love?""What?" I ask, rather confused."It's a simple question," Zero ex
The Warrior's Mate Chapter 23: Fate
Artemis’ Point of View“Wow, this is such a huge forest. The trees are too thick and I can’t barely see the sun,” I heard one of the teen wolves say as she looked up.“This kind of place where vampires roam. They hate the sun. This would be perfect for them to thrive,” said the other one. “And don’t forget about the witches. Ughh. Why does it have to be here?”“Kids these days,” I said, shaking my head."Honestly, I see their reasoning,” Charlotte said as she walked beside me watching the youngsters dislike faces. “That’s why this is the perfect place to train,” I said. “Higanbana is meant to be a warrior and warriors fear no one. We can defend them if those pests appear. Although it's not too common to run into a witch or vamp here because they knew who owned this territory.” Charlotte nodded in agreement, looking out the window to see people around and chatting. By the end of the night Zero will tell all the rules and be on the run for warm ups.For the past week I've gone on a r
