Artemisia He can’t be my mate. His scent would have overpowered everyone else’s easily and signaled me that he was near. I chew at my thumbnail while my thoughts keep running wild about the fact that all of this just doesn’t make any sense. Also, how bothersome it would be to have a Blackwood as
Artemisia Before my panic can rise drastically, I calm myself down, as his scent must have been enough for me to spot him as my second chance mate. And even if his scent is mouthwatering, it isn’t screaming mate. “Is that a quirk of yours?” I look at him confused, finding him smiling. The hell?!
Artemisia “They were kissing!” Zeno shouts, making me gasp. “Liar!” Giorgio groans, passing a hand over his face. “This is enough! Zeno, I’ll be thinking about an appropriate punishment for you, and you will apologize to Alpha Blackwood appropriately.” After what had happened at the lake, and th
Giorgio The sun's rays make me open my eyes with a groan, and I turn around, laying my arm around my wife’s waist, and pulling her close. She giggles, turning around to kiss me, and I smile. “How are you feeling?” “Strange, but good strange.” I chuckle, hugging her tighter. “I’m glad.” “Are you
Artemisia “Have you lost your mind?” I gasp, clenching my cup of coffee as Ramona cracks up. “You are such a pervert.” She recovers from her fit of laughter, wiggling her finger at me. “Come on. He sounds like an awesome guy. I know that your family is scared about him coming to get you, but maybe
“I- You- I have patients here.” He watches me dumbfounded as if he wasn’t getting what I wanted to say. “I can’t leave them here on their own. I’m their doctor and they trust me.” I gulp again, trying to get rid of the lump forming in my throat. Goddess, why me?! His eyes narrow at me as I push
Artemisia I can’t remember a moment in my life when I felt more uncomfortable. Well, except for that rejection part. Forget that. But it is flipping awkward. As I climb the stairs to my room with my new companion, he takes his time to look at everything. And even if his stoic face keeps frownin
Artemisia “Relax, princess.” He says mockingly as he starts the engine and drives off after the others. “I won’t surely take your innocence in an Escalate.” “Ha!” I push out, turning my head to look out of the window. “Would be too late for that anyway.” As I’m expecting him to blow off, I’m quit
Emma The clacking of beads makes me jump out of my thoughts, Corvina entering the kitchen through the strings of wooden and glass pearls that serve as the door to her bedroom. “Having trouble sleeping?” I nod, clasping my cup of tea tighter. “I made myself a cup of tea, I hope that is alright for
Emma I wake up, my head feeling like little gremlins living inside of it are hammering against my brain. Groaning, I turn around, finding Kai completely knocked out. He is lying on his back, his bare body making my mouth water as its perfect muscular shape gets enhanced by the moonlight streaming
Emma “This smells amazing.” Kai’s eyes sparkle as he watches Corvina put down the plate filled with a deliciously smelling stew in front of us. “What is it?” “Something delicious, easy to cook, and also nutritious for the pup,” Corvina circles her hand around, sitting down next to me. Ace leans i
Emma “Are you sure that you have thought of everything?” Artemisia scurries around in our quarters, Kai looking at me while rolling his eyes. “Yes, Mom. I already told you.” Ace and Kai lift their bags and mine onto their shoulders and we walk down the stairs to leave the pack house followe
Emma “Good morning, my—” Hendrick is about to greet us happily as he gets body-checked and shoved out of the way. Kai appears in the room, his hair tousled and his shirt sticking to his chiseled body as he must be covered in sweat. “What is happening here?” ‘Oh, hello,’ my wolf purrs, the growl r
Emma The next morning, I get woken up by a purr vibrating through my mind. Blinking against the sunbeams intruding into our bedroom, I groan, wrapping myself into my blanket. Kai has long left for his training, and I blow into my cheek as I hate waking up in an empty bed. Especially after such a
Emma “Let me down,” I laugh, not being able to breathe as he carries me through our quarters. “Kai!” He chuckles, throwing me off his shoulder to make me fall on the bed. I crack up as I bounce on the cosy material, and he gets on the bed as well, pulling me beneath him. “Your wish is my command,
Emma As usual, Uncle Finnegan is the only one who is grinning. A smug face among a preoccupied and angry crowd. Kai and I, as the future leaders of the pack, had been called into a meeting with the higher-ranked members of the pack by the Alpha. I feel all giddy at the thought of it, even if it
Ace I feel like my entire body was set on fire and is now lying in a jelly-like extinguishing substance. Groaning, I try to move, but to no avail. My body is heavy, held by anchors drilled into the ground. As all I can see is darkness, I close my eyes again, taking a deep breath. My subconsciou
