Artemisia “What’s with her?” He asks me, and I curse myself as I see the green sprinkles in his eyes disappearing. As he seems to perceive the change in the atmosphere, I’m disappointed to see how fast he adapts to it. He loses his flirtatious demeanor swiftly and replaces it with his usual car
“Matt!” I exclaim, my desperation growing. He shakes his head as he rolls his eyes. “And you were so convinced of your 'oh, so wonderful and perfect pack' that you wouldn’t ever have a chance to show you otherwise. Don’t worry, I get it.” “No!” I protest quickly but close my eyes as I am too fas
Artemisia “Do you want me to reject you, mate?” He asks me, sending a shudder down my spine. My breath hitches in my throat as I freeze, and he flashes me a wolfish smirk. “Do you want me to reject you?” He repeats, and now I shake my head immediately. “Then I don’t care!” He says, clenching
Nodding, I try to push down the uncomfortable feeling and cringe as Fynn’s image flashes up in my mind. No. No. No. He must be feeling my desire and me making out with him. Damn it! “Are you sure?” He asks again, making me force a smile. I figure that I can’t stop to think about my options
Artemisia I wake up feeling like I’m burning up from the inside. Clasping the sheets I’m entangled in, I draw a few steady breaths trying to calm myself and reduce the pain. What the hell? I was asking myself how long it would take me to get into heat when they would keep playing around like
“Looks like someone is as horny as I am,” he teases me, breaking our kiss to smirk at me. Pushing him playfully, I blush as a happy smile creeps onto my lips. “The fact that you still get to make me cum so fast is actually quite alarming.” His laugh rumbles through me, making my skin cover in go
Artemisia I can’t recognize the voice, and yet, it sounds incredibly familiar. It feels as if it had always belonged in my head. Is his wolf talking to me? Inhaling sharply, I open my mouth to say something but my voice fails me miserably. Instead, I chose to move my hand up to pull down the
‘Fine. Whatever, idiot!’ I say into my mind and smile as Fynn’s growl vibrates through me. “Maybe she is ready,” I hear Logan say and open my eyes to look up at him. Oh, you can bet on that. Matthew, on the other hand, seems to be still worried about me as he shakes his head. “I’m not sure abo
“How bad is it?” I ask lowly, and he tilts his head, caressing my head as he flashes me an encouraging smile. “It’s all good. You got burned pretty badly, but it will soon be better. Your wolf is doing a great job.” I sigh, closing my eyes as I feel tired. “I feel a lot better already.” “That’s g
Emma My body floats in the jelly-like water again, and I fill my lungs with a deep breath before I open my eyes again to focus them on the dark ceiling. Like the last time, the flickering lights aren’t enough to enlighten the room, and I sigh exhausted as I feel my wounds close with a sizzling se
Ace - Five Years Ago “We have to stop,” Emma whispers as soon as I break the kiss, only to claim her lips again. “We will get caught.” I chuckle, biting into her lip, making her mewl lowly. “Only if you keep talking.” “I’m serious, Ace. If they find us here we will hear it until the end of our da
Emma My heart pounds against my rib cage as I try to keep my breathing steady. I’m frozen to my spot as I stare up at him. “Mate.” Jax’s rough voice vibrates through me, making goosebumps rise on my skin. “You called for me?” I’m only able to shake my head slightly, my body shivering as if I had
“Sorry, I had to mix a new ointment as the one I had prepared was gone.” I try to sit up slowly as she halts in her tracks, sniffing the air, and closes the door behind her. “Don’t let them sneak into your room without taking responsibility for wanting to be with you. They got that from their fath
Emma I open my eyes feeling like I’m lying in gelatine. My sight slowly focuses, landing on Aunty Artemisia. She is smiling, her hands tucked flatly under her head. “Good Morning.” “Good morning,” I say with a raspy voice. She exhales, keeping her voice low. “Kai asked me to check on you, and I
My heart starts racing, my air getting cut by the lump forming in my throat. “Wait. My old quarters?” “No, Kai’s quarter,” he answers dryly, pushing the door open. “This is where you will be staying during your mission.”I laugh awkwardly, shaking my head at how he says the word ‘mission’ with a sn
Ace Cayden scoots forward, sitting on the edge of his seat. “So, how will this work? Kai told me you have become the head warrior of the Royal Army. That’s a remarkable achievement to accomplish in just five years. I’m very proud of you, even if I still hope that you will be coming back.” Well, ho
‘We will never bring her back. I’ll eat your heart from the inside if you even think about doing that.’ “What threats, Ace?” His tone is cold, and I know that they see me as brainwashed, but it’s so easy for them to watch it all from the outside without having to feel anything more than just pity.
