Broken Artemis

One dark night in the middle of winter a lone male wolf ran through the snow. Eyes as dark as the night and fur to match. He carried a small bundle in his massive jaws. He fur painted red with the blood of the warriors from the Dark Knight Pack. The bundle in is mouth began to move and the whimpers of a young child could be heard in the gentle breeze. The male continued to run taking his prey with him. This child was worth the steal to him as she was powerful from birth. She was the only child of the Alpha and Luna of the Dark Knight Pack. He ran until he reached his own pack in the next state over. He had no children and his Luna had been killed months prior by his own hand. As he neared the pack house the child had begun to wail loudly causing other pack members to stare. His Beta met him at the bottom step of the pack house with a change of clothes in hand. He took the child from his Alpha and turned around so the Alpha could shift and change.   “Beta, ta

“I can’t believe we both found our mates at the same time.” I heard a male voice speak. “I am surprised of course, but it makes sense since we are pretty much brothers.” I heard another male voice speak. I could smell an intoxicating scent. It reminded me of books, the smell after it rains, and fresh coffee. I wanted to find the source of the smell. I could feel tingles and sparks in my left hand and wondered what they were from. I laid there trying to fight through the darkness to open my eyes. I smelt him before I heard him, Alpha Nate. I wanted to scream and cry and run away, but I couldn’t move. I was paralyzed. I heard a frantic beeping then an alarm going off. A few other panicked voices could be heard before I heard someone telling Alpha Nate to please leave the room. My eyes flew open the moment he was kicked out followed by the other male voice I heard. I tried to sit up but let out a yelp of pain and laid back down. I felt the sparks again as I looked down at the hand tha

I woke up to an irritating beeping noise. I growled at the noise before slowly opening my eyes. I heard a soft chuckle as my eyes took in the room. I made a confused faced as my gaze fell upon Alpha Armand.  “What?”  I asked softly as his eyes locked on mine. “You just growled at the heart monitor…unless you were growling at me?”  He asked with a smile. I looked over at the machine making the beeping noise and scowled at it. I heard him chuckle again and my heart did a flip. I sat in silence for a few moments before I answered him. “I was growling at the beeping because it annoyed me.” I watched as he laughed causing his shoulders to shake slightly. I let my lips tilt into a slight smile. Something in me loved seeing him laughing. “Can I leave yet?”

I had been enjoying a nice date with Valerian. We watched a movie, had dinner, and were in my room at the pack house making out when the doorbell rang. I let out frustrated groan and pulled my shirt back on before heading downstairs to answer the door. I plastered on a smile and a cheerful voice when I opened the door and saw Luna’s parents standing there.  “Good Evening Alpha Wyatt and Luna Claris, What can I do for you?”  They both gave polite smiles as I moved out of the door and let them inside. We went to the living room and sat down just before Valerian came waltzing in the room with his shirt messily buttoned back together. I averted my eyes as Titus, my wolf, decided to let out a low growl of approval. Valerian walked over and sat next to me with a smile. “Good Evening, who might this be?”  Luna Claris greeted Valerian and then asked me. I could

**Artemis P.O.V.**   I woke up to something heavy weighing me down. When my eyes opened there was a large black wolf with its head on my stomach. I wiggled uncomfortably as my body felt stiff. I winced a little as a pain in my ribs reared its ugly head to life. As I wiggled the wolf turned to look at me and I gasped when I saw its cobalt blue eyes.    ~ “That’s Tafari. He is Armand’s wolf”~   Arya said in our shared mind. I smiled down at the wolf and lifted my right hand to put it on his back.   “Hello Tafari”   I said softly as I ran my hand along his back. He let out a purr like noise and pressed his side closer to me. I could see in his eyes that he was happy I was awake. After a few moments I let out a sigh.   “Tafari, it
