JAXON’S POV

I felt disheveled, erratic, having to wait for Art to finish her stupid date with Velazquez was driving me up the wall.

‘Let’s go for a run, between your nerves and mine things could get ugly,’ suggested Ares.

‘Yea, that sounds like a good idea.’

We ran the perimeter of the island three times, and we still couldn’t get the anger and darkness to settle. I need to talk to somebody; I can’t wait any longer. Aidan, of course. He must know something, those two are very close. But why didn’t he say anything to me, we are supposed to be best friends?

‘Let’s go and find out, Aidan did talk about theories, I have a feeling your best friend knows more that he wants to say.’

‘You’re right, I think it’s time we find out exactly how much Aidan knows.’

I quickly went to my room to clean up and change then set off to find Aidan, I looked everywhere and couldn’t find him. The last place left to look was the library and thank the Gods he was here.

“Jax?” He looked at me confused.

    ARTEMIS POV My heart was beating fast, my breath shallow, that magnetic pull was there, drawing us to one another. We were staring at one another from across the field, so far yet so close to one another. Suddenly he was on me, his hands cradling my face, his thumbs caressing my cheeks, his eyes roaming my face as if it was his first time seeing it and he was trying to memorize it. I looked up and got lost in the green of his eyes, they made me feel as if I was roaming through a forest on a spring day. In the gold flecks around his irises there was fire, and electricity, a warm feeling of excitement, but there is also darkness, one that can overshadow his light. All thoughts were lost the moment his lips touched mine, for the next few breaths the earth stood still, nothing else mattered. We were running the risk of being seen, but at that moment everything was perfect. His lips molded perfectly to mine, they were soft, plush, cool, and tasted like pineapples; yum. He grunted, and ra

    JAXON’S POVI was in shock, I didn’t know what to think I that moment, I had so many questions, and I also had to clear a couple of things with her.‘Get to it, gods only know what other powers she has, next thing you know she turns us into a roach or something,’ said Ares while urging me to talk.“Why didn’t you say something on your birthday when I mentioned you seemed familiar, like I had seen you before?”“And say what, oh hi we had a bit of a connection six months ago, but I erased your memories so you might not quiet remember.”“Art, I’ve been looking for you for the past six months, trying to remember you, getting glimpses of our weekend together, but not your face, not your voice, not you. I couldn’t remember you. Can you even begin to imagine how frustrating that was?”“You were looking for me?”“Yes Art, I was looking for you. You’re my mystery girl!”“What?”In this moment her emotions were as clear to me as my own, she was confused, relieved, shocked, then happy, it was qu

    ARTEMIS POVOh my god, did that just happen? Jaxon said I was his mystery girl, we kissed and gods what a kiss. I’ve never been that intimate with a man before, makes me wonder how would going all the way be like with him. I’m so turned on right now, all I can think about is him, what if I went to his room? Would he rip my clothes off and make his devious ways with me? What if …‘Don’t even think about it,’ warns Selena.‘You know you want to!”‘Duh! But you know we can’t, and one of us needs to keep the other in check obviously, since your hormones are going haywire right now,’ she scuffed.‘Ughhhh, I hate it when you’re right,’ I groaned. ‘Besides I’m not ready to go into heat.’‘Although the idea of being stuck being nailed and pleasured by Ares and Jax for days sounds like heaven right now.’‘Ha, yet you talk about me, horndog!’‘Hey, you started it, with your perverted ass thoughts.’‘Yep, I need an ice shower. ASAP.’‘Please do, you’re starting to sweat pheromones. Do I have to

    ARTEMIS POVDonovan was right about one thing, I could not let him bully me and boss me around, after all I am a goddess. As I made my way into the kitchen, I noticed how dark his aura was and the fact that he was walking the perimeter of the kitchen in a never-ending loop.“What crawled up your ass and died?” I asked sarcastically.“Don’t! I can barely contain my rage and you want to joke about it?” He exclaimed angrily.“Well, I suggest you relax, and when you have calmed down, you can meet me in my office. Until then Jaxon, I won’t be having this conversation with you.”“Are you serious right now?”“Go for a run or something, I’ll be in my office.”He stomped out of the kitchen, slamming the door on his way out.Ugh, men!I needed to get to my office to go over email and work that I have neglected with so much activity around here the past few days. Yea, I think that’s what I will do. Plus, that should give me some reprieve before all hell breaks loose and Jax and I start World War

    JAXON’S POV I don’t know what to think right now. I feel there is a lot the elders have hidden from us; I’m hoping this conversation with Art will bring a lot of things to light and answer a lot of the questions I’ve been asking myself since we set foot on this island. I looked over at Art, her eyes clouded over as she was contacting Aidan through their mind link. “He’s on his way,” she says. I lost myself in thought, there is just so much I’m questioning, like why does Art not have a mate, or does she have one and just not realize it? Our feelings for her cannot be just a simple attraction, they go way beyond anything I’ve ever felt for anyone or heard about any normal mate or romantic connection. How do you explain that? Then there is all the secrecy behind who she really is, why keep her hidden all these years? Isn’t hiding someone right under our noses safer than keeping her locked up like some little bird, and then releasing her to all these wolves for feeding? Had she been all

    ARTEMIS POVHearing my father acknowledge and accept what and who I am so easily gave me the reassurance I wasn’t aware I needed. I looked over to my brother concerned with how quiet he was, when suddenly his face split into the brightest smile I have seen, one my brother has always reserved for me, “my sister if a freaking Titan.”“A what?” I asked.“A TITAN!” he exclaimed once again.I broke into a fit of giggles, “only you A.”“What?” He asked looking perplexed.“My mother is a titan, not I. I am something else altogether, something more. I’m not certain I know how to explain it. I’ve spent time researching old scriptures and books, and the Hindus were the ones that managed to best explain what I am; according to Hindu folklore I’m a Trumurti. An all powerful being wh

Selene sadden by Celeste misfortune wanted to help her, but didn’t see how she could be of help, or how Celeste could guarantee her promises. Seeing her confusion Celeste told Selene, “I am here to be held accountable for the mistake I made and from what little the fates have allowed me to see; you’re going to help me fix it.”“How, I am only human?” she asked.“You must, for if you don’t you will lose those you love most,” replied Celeste.“The gods having had their role to play on the unfolding events decided it was time to clean up the mess and kill all the Lycans and eradicate their kind from existence. So, the two paired up to try and work on a way to prevent the genocide from happening, work, and work they did tirelessly, but to no avail.

But one concern reigned supreme; Artemis, how do we protect her?‘We need more information!’ Suggests Ares.‘Really, what else do you need?’ I replied.‘Let me forward!’‘What? No, you can be extremely stubborn, and we are all here to listen and understand her, not to push her.’‘You all are not asking the right questions or any questions at all!’ he exclaimed.‘Jesus, stop yelling! You’re going to give me a headache. Fine! I’ll let you take over, just don’t block me out, I too want to know. And by the way, I’ve been asking the right questions,’ I scoffed.‘Sure!’ was all he said, before he came forward and pushed me back.It’s as if she sensed the minute he came forth, she looked our way and smiled.“Hello Ares!”ARES POVHow did she know it was me, and not that stubborn mule for a human counter part that I got stuck with?‘You know I can hear what

    ARTEMIS POVWe walked back to the pack house chatting while Aidan continued to work with his newfound powers. I quickly greeted everyone and came back home, my mother and I were due for a chat, so instead of calling out to her I felt for my tether to the Moon Goddess realm and opened a portal. My mother was sitting in front of the fountain of life, “I see you’ve come to get answers.”“I think it’s only fair since I’ve had to figure things out on my own.” She nods, “what do you want to know?”“Why Ares? Mom, I was devastated when he left, I remember it now.”“Yes, now! And you were devastated, but you were reborn and had a chance to start over from scratch. Now why Ares? Aidan gave you that answer, I swear everyday he impresses me more and more.”“Mom!” I shout.“Ares is powerful enough to contain the shadows after all they belong to him. They are the evil souls he’s killed. Hades uses them to try and break him, but Ares is a lot stronger than what Hades gives him credit for.”“So, you

I really like him A, but if he is a threat to my mission, then I will have to let him go. Too many lives depend on us. I can’t be a woman and think with my hooha.” He raises his hands, “your what?” I groan, “my hooha, yes that what I call it. Moving on!”He starts laughing like a maniac, “no way, do you tell it oh good morning hooha, how did you sleep last night?” I roll my eyes ignoring his question, “listen just be grateful Logan isn’t here and couldn’t hear what you just said, he would never let THAT one go.” He was now holding his stomach while cackling like a banshee, “Are you done yet?” I ask, clearly annoyed. He coughs, “sorry, that was unexpected.” I roll my eyes again, “like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. I need to think like the queen and goddess that I am, not the woman.”“My feelings and wh

    ARTEMIS POVI watched Aidan move, throw, hover, and fly rocks for a while, his enthusiasm was like that of a child in a candy store. I was able to recognize through the link how happy he was at feeling useful for me, what he didn’t realize was that he was more useful to me than he could ever have imagined. He wanted to continue to train and harness his newly found powers, but I was able to convince him to continue our walk. “I know it isn’t my place for me to divulge what I’m about to, but I can’t have my team look into it I would really feel like I’m breaking his trust.”“How about you open a portal into the wine cellar so we can grab a bottle, because from the conflicted feelings verging on anxiety that I’m reading through the bond; I’m going to need it.” It didn’t take much for me to open a portal into the cellar, as a child it used to be my favorite hiding spot. Aidan stepped in and seconds later steps out with a bottle of scotch that looks to be older than some of the elders. “Da

    ARTEMIS POVBack home I felt drained, all I wanted was a glass of wine and m bed. But I also felt the need to work through everything that had just happened, and who better to do that with than my brother. I quickly hop in the shower and then get dressed, once ready I made sure to mind link him, ‘hey, just making sure you’re decent before I pop in.’‘Were you planning on opening a portal into my room?’ he asks. ‘Why would I do that?’ I reply.‘Then how were you going to catch me with my balls in hand Art?’‘Eww, the image. I could really do without those.’‘You walked yourself right into that one.’I groaned.‘Get your ass over here already.’Picturing my childhood home, I open a portal right outside the packhouse, just seeing it makes me smile. This mansion will always be home to me. I made my way up the front steps and let myself in. “Hi Clarice!” I greet, Clarice is my brother’s nanny. She has been running the packhouse ever since I can remember. “Hello, my darling,” she rushes ove

    ARTEMIS POV“What brings about your Lycan form?”“I don’t know how to explain it, when the darkness pulls on my essence, I go into a place that I’m forced to be my truest, strongest self.”“That place where I found you earlier?” He nods.“The shadow realm. I was tasked by your mother to keep the doors sealed shut, to prevent Hades from releasing his hell on our world sooner than the Gods have planned for it.”“Does he know? “He shakes his gigantic head. “No Jaxon isn’t aware of what happens when I go there. I hid it from him. I lock him away, I’m protecting him.”“I don’t think you are.” He turned, looking at me with worry on his face. “I wouldn’t have survived that place without Selena by my side.” I sense her nodding in my head in agreement. “You need Jaxon when you go back there Ares. Your human is your anchor. As my wolf is mine.”He is pensive and quiet for a moment, then nods, “perhaps.”“Where is he now? Still locked away?”“Yes, once I get off the mountain and away from the de

    ARTEMIS POV I kept trying to reach out to him, but the darkness emanating out of his aura was dense, and it prevented me from reaching him. ‘Try Ares,’ suggest Selena. ‘If we can’t reach Jaxon then perhaps, we can reach out to Ares.’ She’s right, it won’t hurt to try. And so, we concentrated on Ares on our connection, on my memories with him and everything good that we have with him. The more we focused on the wood the more progress we made through the fog, the darkness becoming less and less dense our path for the first time in what felt like hours was finally clearing. What was once a wall of darkness was now a mist, with a very tiny flame at the end; and there he was Ares. Lost in his own consciousness his eyes black like this place, a place that lives in his own mind. “Ares? Ares can you hear me? I asked. I went to reach out and touch him, when I feel resistance from Selena, ‘no art, I don’t think that’s Ares.’ ‘I know its him. We have to snap him out of this trance. Gods kn

    ARTEMIS POVThe next few days flew by. With so much to get done prior to our departure my focus was solemnly on getting ready for what’s to come and ensuring the island would continue to run smoothly without most of my team. I had texted with both Jax and Donovan, but just briefly. Tonight, I’m supposed to join him for dinner and bring Ale back with me.“Ahem, no you won’t be going there.”“Mom? Why not?”“Because you are showing preference, and the fates are not liking it. Darling you can have your preferences, but you cannot make them so obvious. Your aunts a quite tricky, and you can tilt the scales in a manner that you won’t like. With them is act first consequences be damned, you have to be the opposite. Think first, plan, educate yourself, then act.”“Crap, I did something similar with Donovan.”“That was different.”“How so? I was in his territory, in his space, in his home.”“Donovan had essential information that you needed to know, Jaxon doesn’t have that for you, not yet.”

    ARTEMIS POV“I don’t blame you,” he replies. “My parents told me they were warned in a dream that I would be a special wolf, and that I would recognize my purpose when the time was right. So, we hid my powers from the council, and from everyone that posed a threat. My parents taught me from an early age how to hide my inkling for the sun. And I have kept true to their wishes. Well, that was until I saw you last week and I felt my pull towards you and the way my power swelled just by being in your proximity. I knew then, Donnie wasn’t mad, and that you were the person and the sign I have been waiting for all along.”We were so immersed in our conversation that when the chef announced the menu for the night, we were both startled. “In tonight’s menu we have tuna tartar in a miso soy glaze, followed by a fennel Frise salad, and filet mignon with roasted potatoes and creamed spinach.”Neither of us paid much attention to what he said, we were lost in each other’s eyes.
