“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
Artemisia I take a deep breath as I step into the dimly lit office, even though I didn’t get an answer at my knocking. “What are you doing out of bed?” Cayden asks me as I close the door behind me. His eyes are still glued on the papers in front of him as I clear my throat. “I wanted to talk t
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
