Artemisia“What the hell were you thinking?” I’m chewing on the nail of my thumb, as I’m leaning against the wall, wrapped in a dressing gown. After Cayden nearly broke down my door to fall into my room and interrupt us at the best moment, he risked his life as Fynn and Logan were ready to attack
Artemisia As I step into the office, my heart stops. Cayden has his face buried in his hands, and I feel so much desperation at seeing him like this, that I could cry. I would like to step around the desk and hug him, but that would hardly be appropriate. “Please take a seat,” he says with an
I gulp, staring at him agape. My mind is a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts, and my brain can’t keep up with trying to untangle the mess, failing to let me form a coherent thought. “Is it true?” I whisper finally, my throat feeling dried out. “The rumour, I mean.” Shaking his head, he gets m
Artemisia Matthew is working on a sculpture. His stained clothes make him look like he escaped some secret fantasy of mine. I stare drooling a bit too long before his chuckle gets me to finally force out something. “Didn’t you want to have breakfast?” I ask as he rubs his hands clean with a rug.
And he doesn’t look happy. Concentrated, sweaty, and incredibly hot, but not happy. With a deep sigh, I decide to not push my luck, and continue to walk down the hallways. Finally reaching the dining hall, I find it completely empty, which doesn’t surprise me at all. As I start rumbling throu
Artemisia Getting through the day without having my mates talking to me, and Daisy wanting to make sure I ate right, was an absolute nightmare. I still don’t know how I managed to get through it as I finally got the plan from Cayden for today’s activities and had an excuse to shake off Daisy bef
“Oh, the pleasure is all ours, Missy,” the elder teacher says in a melodic voice. “I’m Astrid, I’m the director of our little daycare, and this is Celeste. She is the main teacher as she works full-time, but we have other teachers that help out periodically.” “That is wonderful,” I gloat, shaking
Artemisia The pups are all awfully cute. But also awfully exhausting. I get to experience their energy firsthand as after dragging me through the house to see all the rooms and after getting shown all the appliances, I get invited to play different games. Fun, fun. But so exhausting. At l
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
I straighten up, nodding repeatedly. “Oh, I’d love to.” “Awesome, let me fetch the carafe I have put on ice,” he says happily. He is just about to get back into the house as an angered voice booms from the other side of the street. “Hey!” We jump on our spot as Kai slams his car’s door and storms
Emma - Five Years Ago “They are searching the forest once again,” Artemisia tells me while pulling the curtains of my bedroom open. “They aren’t giving up. They will certainly find him.” I wipe a tear off my already sticky face, my eyes concentrating on the dust twirling through the air. “I don’t
Emma“Where is my son?” Artemisa says, determined, the guards bearing their necks as she approaches the entrance of the hall with the cells. “I want to see my son.” It is funny to see how those huge guards cower as they show the way to Artemisia to reach her son’s cell. As it was pretty difficult
Emma“How are you feeling?” I sit still, my hands folded in my lap. It is still unclear how she will react when waking up and if she is really back to being herself. And only the Goddess knows how hard it was to make her mates wait outside the door to be able to talk to her in private and peaceful
