Artemisia Blowing my cheeks, I tap my fingers on my blanket. It’s already past midnight, and the last nurse came in hours ago to apply my last cool compression for my head. I feel so human, and I hate it! I also finally understand how they always use to say that a doctor is the worst patient
“A doll.” He repeats with a scoff as he starts moving again. “I’m being serious, Fynn. You have been nothing but condescending to me. Why did you come and fetch me in the first place?” I ask him, regretting the question the moment I have uttered it. “What do you mean? You are my mate. I had to g
Artemisia The coziness of the bed he just cuddled me in, doesn‘t help at him staring at me in disbelief. “I’m sorry, what?” I chose the rip-it-off-in-one-go kind of way, and am now doubting my strategy as I actually have to go on. I bite my upper lip nervously as I move my feet under the bla
“Who the fuck knows about this?” He growls, making me jerk back. “Well, my family does. My pack and of course, Ri- Alpha Saviano.” I stutter out as he continues to glare at me. “So, I’m the only one who knows here.” His voice holds so much disgust that my chest tightens. Nodding, I get him to
Finnegan I nearly rip the door out of its frame as I open it with rage streaming through my veins. Taking a few steps, I only catch my breath as I hear the door close behind me. I nearly suffocate at the sadness and pain wafting through me, and I figure that they must be Artemisia’s emotions.
Artemisia “It’s okay, Matt. I just bumped my head, I didn’t lose a leg.” I chuckle as Matthew carries me to my room and cuddles me into the blankets of my bed. “I don’t care. You need to rest, love. I’m just following the doctor's instructions,” he says nonchalantly, as he rearranges my pillows.
I sigh deeply after she leaves my room, and close my eyes to get some sleep. But even if I’m drugged up to the eyeballs with painkillers and I’m feeling drained, I can’t seem to catch any sleep. My anxiety keeps growing even if I do my best to meditate myself into calmness. In the blink of an e
Artemisia I wake up with a jump scare the next morning as all my windows get opened brusquely. I blink into the light streaming into the room as a blonde woman is blabbering nonchalantly while continuing to give me a heart attack. Turning in my bed, I blink my sleep out of my eyes. I can’t see
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
