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 It looks like Kai found what he was looking for, because he walks through a set of bushes. Kneeling, he puts me down gently, Ace following with a lost expression. “Go ahead,” Kai entices him, putting my head on his knees. “Spread your legs for him, babe.” My blush must be spreading to my br
Oh, fuck, yes! I start moaning loudly on purpose, wanting to incite him as Kai continues to fuck me gently, lifting me up and down on his cock. Ace’s fingers graze my hips carefully, causing hot sparks to dance on them. “Ah,” I jerk up, and he retreats his hands immediately. “No, wait,” I plead,
Emma I bite my bottom lip, my gaze jumping from him to the fire shining through the trees and back to him. “We can’t…” His grin grows, and he puts his hands onto my hips, letting them glide onto my back and down to my ass. I lose myself in his eyes as he locks his gaze with mine, my hands driving
Emma “This is ridiculous,” Kai mutters against his glass before taking a large gulp out of it. I sigh, tugging at my dress as I reposition myself. “But you wanted to attend the bonfire. Don’t you like it?” The crackling noises of the large fire accompany the witches' chants and laughter as they
Emma “See?” Corvina giggles as she turns around to me, Kai still looking at her as if he wanted to rip her head off. She looks back at Kai. “Are you okay?” He nods, but I get up to stand next to Corvina as something in his expression doesn’t convince me. And in fact, as soon as I have reached he
Emma “Nobody threatened me. Why would you think that? I entered a fucking contract. And I agreed to take a chosen mate. Do you realise what a pain it was to go through the candidates until I found someone that didn’t make my skin itch?” Goosebumps cover my skin, and I have to fight to actively cov
Oh, yes. The dreams are always the best, honestly. Taking the last few steps quicker, I chuckle to myself as my memory of the dream I had enhances my mood extremely. My heart flipping in my chest takes my breath away, and the next thing I notice is a mouth-watering scent reaching me. I stop in the
Ace “Wakey, wakey, sunshine.”I open my eyes, propping myself onto my elbow as I push myself up. Corvina is sitting on the edge of my bed, dangling her feet as she grins at me. “Aintín?” I push out a breath, my voice not more than a rasping sound. It’s still strange that I am allowed to still ca
Emma “I’m not drinking that.” I scrunch up my nose, taking a step back. “No way!”Corvina lets her arms slump, sighing. “Oh, come one, Emma. Do you know how rare this potion is? You should feel honoured that I want to give it to you.” “I don’t care how rare it is. What even is this broth? And why
