I was terrified with Artemis being gone. We couldn't get any trace on either of them and I knew she was going through pain. Tafari refused to stomp whimpering and howling all night long. We were both worried about our mate so I wasn't sleeping. I wasn't able to stomach much food either, but I didn't let my pack see me be weak. Jax was a crying mess most of the time and I knew he was trying to be the Beta he was supposed to be. His wolf ended up taking over after the second day just so he could function."Alpha, Luna's parents have arrived"Titus said in a gruff voice. I turned to face him and saw the flash of pain in his eyes."Thank you, Titus, I know this isn't easy for you either"I told him as he put a hand on my shoulder."I don't think either of us will see
I was trapped in my mind after that child looking witch had stood in front of me. I could only scream when she was done. I was stuck watching my son be killed in front of me on endless cycles. The images changed to every pup I had ever lost asking me why I didn't want them. It was heartbreaking, but it got worse when I felt Arya be ripped away from me. Her being gone didn't last longer than maybe ten minutes before she had returned. We couldn't talk, but I could see her. She looked horrified by what she was pulled back into. I hoped Armand wasn't feeling any of my pain because it was explained to me about fully mated mates being able to feel each others pains. I had done what I could to block him from feeling most of this until I was unable to. Arya let out whimpering noises as we tried to get back to reality. "Artemis?" I heard a soft voice calling out to me. I couldn't place the voice though because it was mingled with my screams. When I opened my eyes again I could see Valerian.
Two days had passed since the witches last visited us. Valerian didn't sleep and they weren't feeding us. I knew they planned to separate us at some point, but I was hoping they wouldn't get the chance. Camilla, the witch that looked like a child, came into the cell with a smile."It's time to purge you again"She said as she faced me. I wondered what she meant for a moment before I felt pain like never before. I looked down at my arms that were suddenly both bleeding. My eyes widened as I looked back up, but I realized that she didn't make it so I couldn't move. Valerian looked at me with wide eyes as my blood hit the ground. I moved towards Camilla slowly which earned me a wicked grin from her."Time to play you filthy mutt"She said as she made her way towards me as well. I let out a growl and glare
I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know I am so sorry that I haven't updated at all. I have been dealing with a lot in my personal life that has kept me from writing. I want you to all know that I am trying my best and will endeavor to write more. I am sorry for letting you down in my writing as of late. I can't wait to be in a place that I can write more freely, but I am not there as of right now. I hope you are all having a great life and that you continue to enjoy reading. ~A*i~
I got a call from Andromeda telling me that I needed to come get Artemis early. When we walked down into the basement I was surprised to see how big her wolf was. I knew that I would never be able to control that beautiful she wolf. "What a shame" I mused out loud as the witches forced her to shift back into her human form. She was even more beautiful than I remembered her. She passed out and hit the concrete floor as I watched in silence. My wolf was barely there anymore, but I still had my strength. Artemis's wolf was taller than an average alpha wolf and the most unique colors. I knew she was special, but my mind was still trying to wrap around her colors. Her fur was the most interesting shades of purples, pinks, and blues with pure white paws like socks. "That is one big wolf" I heard Andromeda s
I was just as shocked as Tafari when Arya reached out to us. It felt great to hear her voice in my head even if it was just for a little bit. I knew exactly where the witches were, but I had to make a call before going there. I picked up the office phone and called the alpha of that territory. He answered after the third ring. "Hello Armand, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked upon answering the phone. I normally wouldn't mind calling him and doing small talk since we are friends, but now was not the time for that. "Alpha Kincaid, I need your help" I told him using a formal tone. I could hear him moving around on the other end of the phone call. I hoped he would help me since we were friends. After explaining what was going on I let out a breath of relief. He agreed to help and told me he would arrive in a few short hours. When he arrived we briefly discussed our plan of action. I knew that Jax was eager to get Valerian back just as much as I was to get Artemis back. By the
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few moments before I heard a scuffling sound as if the phone was transferred to another person. "We will be there in two hours, please wait for us" I heard in the soft feminine voice of my mother-in-law. I nodded once before remembering they couldn't hear a nod causing me to respond verbally. "I will wait two hours, but after that I am leaving to get Artemis back it has been way too long already." I said before hanging up the phone and walking out of my office. I ended up pacing the floor, in the main living room, as everyone else returned using Alpha Kincaid's vehicles. I looked up briefly as Jax and Valerian entered the room. They were holding onto each other like they would disappear any second and I didn't blame them. I returned to pacing only pausing when Valerian spoke up. "I want to go with when you go to get Artemis back" He said while meeting my eyes with his. I could see a swirl of black in them before I looked away
When I woke up I was chained to a large bed in a dark room. I could just barely feel Arya in the back of my mind and I knew it would take time. I didn't know how long I had been out for and felt extremely weak. I looked around the large room and almost gagged when I smelled my old alpha's scent lingering in the air. I began to wonder if he had done anything to me while I was asleep, but didn't want to the answer to that either. I looked down my body and realized I was still in the same clothes from before. They were ripped and covered in blood, but still mostly covered me.-"Arya, I know I can't really contact you right this moment, but I hope you hear this. I promise to get us out of here"-I mentally told her just hoping she would hear that. I didn't know what the witch had done, but it had a long lasting effect it seemed. I took a moment before I began to try and unlock the padlock that kept the
After dinner we cleaned up and all went to the living room to watch a movie. I smiled as I snuggled against Armand’s side on the couch. We picked out some Disney movie to watch, but I wasn’t paying attention to it. My thoughts had slipped to the darkest part of my mind where the memories of last year lay dormant. I tried to suppress the vivid images that would plague my mind. I tensed for a moment when I felt movement on my arm before I relaxed remembering it was just my mate. “Are you alright love?”He asked softly as our eyes met. I forced a smile and nodded. He frowned before pulling me even closer. “Love, I know you’re not. I will not force you to talk about it; however, please don’t tell me you are alright when it’s written in your eyes and on your face that you aren’t”He stated before placing a soft kiss to my forehead. I closed my eyes and rested my head on his chest thankful he didn’t force me to talk about it. I smiled as he rested his head on top of mine thankful he was
Valerian and I had been planning on how to tell Jax for a few hours now. By the time our plan was set it was already 4pm. We quickly got the items together so we would be ready by dinner time. I had asked Armand to invite Jax to dinner here. He was happy to do so.“This is gonna be so great!”I said with a huge smile as we put the last baby item into the box and closed it. Valerian yawned softly as I began to wrap the gift. He smiled at me as I put a nice gold bow on the top. “Do you think he’s going to be excited?”He asked as we headed downstairs to begin making dinner. I nodded as we took the steps slowly so neither of us tripped. “I think he is going to be thrilled!”I said with excitement in my voice. Soon enough we entered the kitchen. Valerian sat on a barstool by the counter while I got out the ingredients. We were making one of Jax’s favorite foods. “I’m scared though”Valerian said as I mixed smashed up avocados with some salt and pepper in a bowl. “I know, after everyth
Hi lovelies,First and foremost I wanted to apologize. It’s been so long since I updated any stories and for that I’m terribly sorry. My personal life was flipped upside down and not in a good way. I’m slowly working on new chapters, but my personal life and health are still not where they need to be. I also went through a long time of writers block on where to go with the story; however, I know which way the story is headed. For those that continue to read my stories, I am thankful. You all are amazing. ~Ari~
I looked next to Valerian where Jax stood and my smile faltered. The forefront thought that came to my mind was that we had all lost our pups. I felt like my heart was tugged on tightly by a spiral of barbed wire as the images of what the witches had done flooded into my mind. I didn't realize I had zoned out in thought until I felt the sparks spread across my arms and chest area. I inhaled deeply and leaned back just a little trying to be as close as possible to Armand as I could while the world around me came back into sight. "Are you alright, My Love?" I finally heard him ask after a few more moments of me inhaling deeply using his scent to help me calm down. I didn't realize that I had been digging my nails into my hand to the point of almost bleeding until my vision came back into focus. I inhaled once more before I responded to him. "I...I'm fine" I said softly unsure of how I actually felt. I looked around again and noticed my parents were also there staring at us. They loo
