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
Artemisia I gulp as I look back up, my gaze locking with Logan’s. “Why did you sneak to the Dungeons, babe?” He asks me, and I struggle to make my brain assemble a coherent sentence as I feel Matthew move against me. “I was just worried,” I respond, my voice failing me. Logan hums, as he ste
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
