As I try to relay the happenings of the pack to Blake, my heart sinks as I witness him locking lips with Hermione. My emotions are in disarray and I am left feeling stunned and heartbroken. Despite the urge to move, I remained still and drew in a long, steady breath."I'm sorry," I whispered, turning to leave, but I couldn't shake the feeling of his presence as he emerged from the restroom."Why have you come to this place?" He furrowed his brow and asked with a hint of skepticism. As they walked, Hermione could sense that he was eager to speak, but she gently took his hand and led the way.His eyebrow arched up, forming a quizzical expression on his face. "Is it acceptable for you to scrutinize us without our consent?""Blake, that was far from the truth. My presence is not intended for your benefit. I stand before you today, summoned by Luna herself. She has spoken to me of her deep desire to have you return to our pack, for she believes that you possess the strength and courage nec
Blake POVSuddenly, everything occurred with a thunderous boom.As soon as the words left my lips, she strode away, her expression unreadable. I'm left wondering if my words have wounded her or if she's simply masking her emotions. I used to feel a twisted sense of satisfaction when I would unleash hurtful words upon her.My hand was abruptly seized by someone. "Shall we leave immediately?" Hermione stood there, completely clueless as to what was happening around her.I give a firm nod of my head, my eyes locking onto theirs in a silent affirmation of agreement.—As I opened my eyes, I realized that I was completely bare, and my gaze fell upon Hermione lying next to me, equally unclothed. As I inhaled, my lungs expanded to their fullest capacity, filling my body with a rush of fresh air. My heart is racing and my palms are sweaty as I struggle to catch my breath. The weight of the world seems to be pressing down on me, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and anxious. The thrill of excite
My mother’s decision to put me down is overwhelming and difficult to bear. Her eyes blazed with an intense fury as she demanded that Blake punish me, though I couldn’t fathom what I had done to deserve such wrath. There was a palpable sense of unease in the air, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about her demeanor. The sensation is so indescribable that words fail to capture its essence.“I don’t know what’s the matter anymore—”“Artemis, your words are like nails on a chalkboard to me. Your behavior is so disgraceful that no one can overlook it. You may feel fortunate at the moment that others perceive you as a gentle and delicate woman, but it’s only a matter of time before the truth is revealed and your true strength and resilience are recognized–”“I am the flesh and blood that you brought into this world, the one who carries your DNA and shares a bond with you that transcends time and space. I am your daughter! Why do you have such a strong desire to see me
The statements made by Mother come as a complete shock to me, but Blake has already provided an excessive amount of evidence that breaks my heart. The thing that broke my heart even more was when he put a photo of Kade in a location where I was always there in a place where he was always present, and I don’t know what to say about that.I muttered, “I don’t know about this . . .”“Are you really that hungry for attention that you put up with a guy stalking you?” A question from the mother. Everyone fell into complete silence.I shook my head. “That’s not how it went down at all. You, Blake, you know everything, right? That I had no interest in being with him at any time. I am not always on his side, and I am not requesting anything from him—”“Artemis. That’s enough,” Blake cut me off, I don’t know why he did that, but it appeared like he was under the impression that I was always with Kade.I can’t stop shaking my head, and Blake said, “Artemis, you’ve always been there to protect hi
"You're being toxic, Blake," I hissed at Blake, but he refused to release his grip on me, trapping me in his grasp. His actions are like a foreign language to me, leaving me feeling lost and confused."Artemis, you fail to grasp the essence of my being. You must truly grasp the essence of my being—""No!" I let out a guttural scream, my throat burning with the effort of uttering those words, all while grappling with the undeniable truth that my heart still beats for him. Despite my best efforts to conceal my emotions, I couldn't help but shoot him a withering glare and maintain a stoic expression."You're completely under the spell of a man who's brainwashing you, and he's fervently preaching about the importance of protecting Artemis. That's when things took a turn—""Blake, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to extract anything from me." I looked him straight in the eye and spoke my truth. "I can sense your persuasive efforts to make me trust you, and suddenly, in the bl
I’ve made the bold choice to brush off the message as if it holds significance whatsoever. I’m sitting in a car with Blake, my heart racing as we speed away from Ced’s apartment. The events of the past few minutes have left me feeling disoriented and shaken. We left Ced behind as if he was nothing, even though Blake had just caused him harm. He’s the kind of disappointment that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth and a heavy weight on your heart.The wheels of his car have yet to spin under his control. The current actions he’s undertaking are a mystery to me. He wreaked havoc on numerous objects.“Tell me, with urgency in your voice, what action you desire me to take.” I inquired with a curious tone, eagerly seeking an answer. “I fortify myself with a protective shield, ready to repel any potential harm that may come my way–”“You did not,” he interrupted me sharply. I remained still and silent, offering no discernible response to his words.I stood there, gazing into his eyes, my
I felt a sharp pain as his words pierced through me. The uncertainty of his intentions leaves a heavy impact on my heart. The anticipation of whether he’s deceiving me is consuming my thoughts. I yearn to convey to him that I deeply respect and acknowledge his emotions, and I am not seeking to diminish their significance in any way. I refuse to reveal any hint of my feelings to him lest he exploits and manipulates them for his gain.“Stop accusing me of being the source of your pain, Blake—”“I vehemently deny uttering those words, Artemis. Others are also experiencing pain, not just you. I’m sorry, but I’m unable to visualize your circumstances.” My words were abruptly cut off as he barged in, leaving me speechless and bewildered.“Blake, what are your expectations? Do you expect me to trust the nonsensical words in your mouth? I always promise to acknowledge and respect your emotions, never belittling or dismissing them. I poured my heart and soul into winning your affection, but i
My body is tense, and my mind is uneasy. As I stirred from my slumber, a flurry of words danced in my mind, beckoning me to rise and seize the day.“I yearn to shield you from harm, Artemis . . .”The words emanated from Blake’s vocal cords, resonating through the air and reaching my ears. My eyes snap open, and I jolt upright, startled by the sudden awakening. Opening my eyes, I am immediately struck by the unfamiliar surroundings. The room is dimly lit, and the air feels heavy with an eerie silence. I take a moment to gather my bearings, but my heart races as I realize I have no idea where I am or how I got here. I find myself in an unfamiliar place, frozen in confusion, as I realize I’m still clad in the same attire from the previous evening. My mind is a blank slate, unable to recall even the slightest detail of what occurred.My heart skipped a beat as the door creaked open, revealing Kade standing there with a tantalizing aroma wafting from the dish he held.“What the hell?” I u
I yearn for a fresh start, where the path ahead is free of any obstacles or challenges that may impede my progress. I am devoid of any sensation or emotion. My heart swelled with pride as I was crowned the Luna of the Blood Pearl Pack under the powerful and commanding rule of the Alpha King, Blake Gaius Dutch. As the youngest Luna in the werewolf world, I possess an unparalleled power that surpasses even the most formidable of the deathless lords."Your Majesty, the grand hall is filled with the most distinguished guests eagerly awaiting your arrival." The maid informed me. As she spoke, her words pierced through me like a sharp arrow, causing my emotions to flare up. However, I mustered up the strength to smile and watched my parents entered enterTheir eyes are fixed on me, unblinking and intense. Their eyes gleamed with pride as they watched me become even more potent than they had ever imagined, underestimating me no more."Artemis . . ." they whispered in unison, their voices bare
The devastating news of Blake's parents' passing quickly circulated among friends and family. My mind is confused, and I feel lost, unsure how to proceed. I am writhing in agony, tormented by a barrage of sharp stabs that have left me reeling. Despite my desperate need for relief, I have yet to receive any adequate treatment to restore me to total health.I felt a sense of urgency to accomplish something with speed. The pack remains a mystery, and I am completely unaware of what transpires. My jaw dropped in disbelief as I overheard the juicy gossip that Artemis, the fierce huntress of the pack, was set to become the Luna alongside her Alpha, the formidable Blake. It was hard to fathom that this was all part of Hermione's cunning plan.Her heart yearned for the coveted position.I will ensure she never gets her hands on the position she desires. The pack was in agony over the loss of their leader, consumed by grief and despair. However, they seemed oblivious to the culprit responsible
As Hermione's mind raced with excitement, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that her plan had been flawlessly executed. Her heart runs with excitement as she savors the sweet taste of triumph. She can't help but feel a sense of pride as she reflects on the hard work and dedication that led her to this moment.She donned the same garments as the goddess Artemis, complete with a crimson stain that trailed behind her as she strode through the midst of the Blood Pearl Pack. Blake's sharp gaze immediately catches the sight of her as she fakes her tears.The name "Artemis" hung like a delicate mist, lingering with mystery and intrigue. His voice was barely audible as he whispered. He recognizes Artemis by the distinctive garments draping her lithe form, and Hermione's cunning move to capture a whiff of Artemis's scent proves to be the ultimate stroke of brilliance."Blake!" Hermione's voice echoed through the room as she let out a fierce yell, perfectly mimicking the
BLAKE POVI have gone to great lengths to safeguard Artemis. With a decisive click, I silenced the videos and quashed the insidious rumors about her. In a sudden turn of events, the shocking truth was revealed - Hermione was the mastermind behind the posted videos, and an unknown tracker uncovered her identity. Now, Hermione incessantly pesters me in my office."Blake! I want you to do something!" she yelled, and I kept drinking beer."Hermione, I need you to leave my office immediately. With a final, resolute statement, our relationship came to an abrupt and definitive end—""You are solely responsible for this! You were supposed to be my source of support and affection, but I'm bewildered by the sudden change in your behavior. What happened to you? The unpleasant aspects of your personality are not to my liking. I want you to be on top of me again!" With a stern tone, she ordered me to cut my words off abruptly.My gaze fixates on her, taking in every detail of her appearance. "Why
"I thought . . .""Every word that Blake uttered is correct!" He bellowed those words with such force that they echoed off the walls.My quivering mouth trembles uncontrollably as I notice his beta and gamma standing steadfastly by his side. The warriors are intensely scrutinizing every single move that I make."Every moment of every day, my thoughts are consumed by you. You are the sun that brightens my world and the air that fills my lungs. I am utterly captivated by your every move and every word you speak.""My heart beats faster at the mere thought of you, and I cannot imagine a life without you in it. You are the one I dream of, the one I long for, and the one I am completely and utterly obsessed with.""My heart is overflowing with love for you. I secretly followed your every move, driven by an intense desire to safeguard you without revealing my presence. My blood boils with fury every time Blake decides to rescue you, Artemis, despite his complete lack of concern for your well
I am currently situated within the confines of my apartment. The very thought of staying in this place sends shivers down my spine. I feel trapped in the depths of hell, with no escape in sight. Every moment spent here is filled with discomfort and unease, making me long for a better place. The Blood Pearl Pack's territory was once my refuge, but now I am no longer welcome there.I inhaled a lungful of fresh air, feeling the excellent breeze brush against my skin as I extended my arm to offer a morsel of food to the hungry stray cats. As I swung the door open, my arms full of steaming hot food, I carefully placed the dishes on the table. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Blake appeared before me, causing me to jump in surprise."Why have you come to this place?" I furrowed my brow and spoke with uncertainty. I remained stoic, my body rigid with an icy demeanor.His voice was low and soothing as he spoke, "Artemis, I want you to be calm." He appeared to be yearning for peace at this very moment
“Hello, may I inquire about the possibility of purchasing this item that has caught my attention?”“It is prohibited to make any purchases using this card. It appeared you have been prohibited from accessing or participating in a certain activity or community.”While I was in the process of speaking, the individual who was operating the cash register abruptly interrupted me. Upon reflection, it has come to my attention that my parents have taken the initiative to close my credit card several days prior.“What? It is possible that you could attempt to do it once more. At the present moment, I am lacking in funds and do not possess any physical currency.”“I am sorry to inform you that you can't obtain these items,” she interjected. “If you desire to do so, you shall receive a solitary piece of chips without charge, and subsequently, you are at liberty to depart,” she appended. Without hesitation, I promptly agreed to her proposal and gave a confirming nod.“Thank you very much,” I expre
“Artemis, my dear, I implore you to lend me your ears and heed my words. It is of utmost importance that you pay attention to what I am about to say. It is with a heavy heart that I must express my inability to bear witness to your departure from my life. .” He softly spoke in a low tone, barely audible to those around him. “Even the most skilled master of chaos would shed tears over the destruction they've wrought upon another, Blake.” After receiving the message, I took the time to compose a thoughtful response and replied to him.As he attempted to approach me, I instinctively and forcefully pushed him away once more. As I observe the situation before me, I can discern that Blake is experiencing a profound emotional response, as evidenced by the continuous stream of tears cascading down his eyes and onto his cheeks. As I gazed upon his tear-streaked face, my heart was rent asunder by the profound pain I felt, yet despite this, I remained resolute in my indifference."From the depth
"Blake, your indifference towards me is palpable, and it hurts deeply." My lips never formed those words. This consumes my thoughts. As I fix my gaze upon him, my eyes brim with tears that cascade down my cheeks. His eyes bore into mine, brimming with a profound sadness that seemed to defy explanation or understanding.His voice trembled as he spoke, his eyes filled with regret and sorrow. "I'm sorry, Artemis," he repeated, his words heavy with guilt. The air around them seemed severe as the silence stretched, punctuated only by his ragged breathing. Finally, he took a step forward, and his hand outstretched in a gesture of apology. "What do you mean by sorry? Did you have to ruin my life like this? Did you meticulously craft this plan from the very beginning? I am certain that Hermione purposely rammed the car, so I refuse to believe that you both were involved in it!" I let out a roar, snatched my trusty suitcase, and vigorously wiped away my tears.My cheeks flush with embarrassmen
