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
Artemisia “So, you are a doctor?” Matt’s eyes sparkle as he questions me. “Erm… yes,” I say shyly, scooping my potatoes from one side of the plate to the other. My eyes keep snapping over to Fynn, who is eating all by himself at a table in a corner. His unpleased frown about his momentary situat
I panicked for a second as I don’t do well with huge crowds, and I was amazed at how comfortable I felt with them sensing my discomfort. They explained to me that we have a lot of entertainment rooms on our floors as well. And as nobody is allowed on this floor other than us, we can enjoy our time i
Artemisia I walk through the living room, looking into the other rooms. There is a small kitchen, a large bedroom with a king-sized bed and large windows, leading onto a terrace, as well as a gorgeous bathroom, walk-in closet, and small library. The happiness that I feel while checking my new sma
Artemisia Turning around, I stare at Fynn agape as I take a step back. “What the fuck?! Fynn, how did you get in here?” “Ah, those stupid locks.” He groans, shaking his head. “As if they could stop me.” I know that I will just entice him when I turn my back to him to walk away, but I can’t seem
Artemisia I dress myself quickly into a sundress before sprinting after them. I follow my mate’s voice that booms through the mansion as his brothers are carrying him into the main mansion and downstairs. Pushing through the crowd that forms on the stairs and in the halls to watch the spectacle,
Artemisia “How is it?” Matthew asks me with big eyes. Gulping down the bite I just took off my sweet crepes, I smile happily. “It tastes delicious. But I never eat with so many eyes on me.” “Glad you like it. And yeah, sorry about that. But they will stop staring as soon as they have gotten us
I shake my head, ignoring Cassy’s insult and attracting Matthew’s attention. But as usual, he doesn’t say anything. For a short moment, I think about asking him about the wolfless woman who was executed, but I refrain from it at the last second. Wanting to change the subject, I finally ask him m
Emma. *** Ace - 5 years ago I observe Emma as she stares in awe, a happy smile plastered on her face. She inspects the many little colourful lights that are hanging from the ceiling of our treehouse and honestly, I am glad she likes them so much because it took me hours to put them up. I scoot
Ace My anxiety grows exponentially as I follow Gregorius into the forest with fast steps. I know that my parents can handle the situation perfectly, but I’m not sure that me helping out Gregorius instead of staying at the pack house to help my father is a good idea. “Are you sure this is what we
Finnegan As I had anticipated, it doesn’t take long for Missy to come rushing down the stairs and reach me in front of the large doors leading to our sons’ quarters. I take a few steps to meet her halfway in the hopes that the smell of destruction and burned ground doesn’t reach her as the doo
I hold my breath as I take a step towards them, despite my racing thoughts and Drake raging in my mind, I can hear Emma’s heart beating, her feeble breathing signalising that she is still alive. “Kai?” “I stopped just in time.” His whisper paired with his lost expression and his saddened grin has
Finnegan “And if we take a few men from here,” Gregorius, my head warrior, reaches over the gigantic map laid out on the table, pulling three figurines to move them to the other side of our territory. “We could cover a larger territory. I know that the Judge doesn’t like this, but we could stop an
Emma“Kai?” All I get as an answer is a growl, his suppressing aura making it hard to breathe and as I can’t seem to access my wolf, who just seconds before was practically running wildly in my mind, I’m beginning to panic. Is he locking my wolf away? I gulp painfully, resisting the urge to take
“Alpha Guerrieri, Alpha Saviano, as you surely already know, we aren’t in need of any support. But we appreciate your offer, and I would suggest that I let a few omegas prepare two guest rooms for you in the east wing so that you can participate in the festivities with the Judge. But I have to ask y
Emma I get startled awake by another nightmare, waking up just at the perfect moment to escape one of the guards of my dark cell piercing a silver knife into my skin. Groaning, I push my hair out of my face, scanning the bedroom. To my disappointment, my mate is still gone, and I push out a breath
Emma I flinch as a set of red eyes come closer, shining through the pitch-black darkness of the cell I’m sitting in. Shuddering, I clasp my mother’s long dress for comfort as I can still smell her scent. Even if it is slowly turning sour, her skin’s coldness only adds to the one seeping into my b
