Atalanta’s pov

‘Say something. You didn’t do it!’ Artemis growled inside my head, but I couldn’t. This woman had lost a child because of me. I told them about Belladonna; I should have warned someone when Archer said everything was coming to an end.

I should have known they had something planned.

‘You could not have known.’ Artemis argued, but by then Luna Grace had already stepped up and started to defend my honor.

It was very different from how Raiden would defend me. Luna Grace remained calm, stating facts and still showing sympathy. But she would not allow the grieving woman to call me names.

I had never been defended this way. It didn’t even seem like the way a werewolf handled anything. I was taught they were animals, violent creatures.

'While our sexy mate may have a more primitive approach to defending you, that doesn't mean we're incapable of using different methods to solve a problem.' Artemis said. Raiden is sexy, and his protective nature has always attracted me to him.
