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
Artemisia Unfortunately, even with his brother gone, Matthew doesn’t regain his old bubbly self. Something must be bothering him as we finish our ice cream in silence before he accompanies me to my room. My heart breaks as he doesn’t even look at me properly when saying goodbye, and I can’t poss
Matthew Keeping my head low, I try to avoid Cayden’s gaze while I dig in. It might be my guilty conscience, but I feel like he is suspecting something. But even if we made the deal that we would be open about anything that might happen, I am set on keeping the last occurrences with Artemisia my
Artemisia I’m biting on the nail of my thumb as I’m watching the most ridiculous action movie that I have ever seen. But still better than the romantic ones they wanted to watch because they thought I would like them. As Cayden apparently accepted the invitation of Logan and tagged along as we
Artemisia Ignoring her, I jump down the cold stairs, cursing myself for not having put on any socks. Still pondering over how stupid I have been to just sprint off in the first place, I’m shocked as I stand in front of a mountain of a man. “Oh, hello.” “My lady,” he bows, making the big keychain
Shaking my head, I hope that I’m not blushing too much. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let me go.” Just as I pull my arm back, he lets go of me, making me stumble back. After landing on my butt ungently, I glare up at him, getting a mocking grin in response. “You have to be careful if
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
