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
Oh, they are so cute. I’m going to die. Emma is fast to run to my side and takes my hand confidently. I giggle, caressing her hair as we start walking around the pack lands leisurely. The children are chatting happily, and Astrid as well as Celeste can show me where some places are situated and
Emma It looks like Kai found what he was looking for, because he walks through a set of bushes. Kneeling, he puts me down gently, Ace following with a lost expression. “Go ahead,” Kai entices him, putting my head on his knees. “Spread your legs for him, babe.” My blush must be spreading to my br
Oh, fuck, yes! I start moaning loudly on purpose, wanting to incite him as Kai continues to fuck me gently, lifting me up and down on his cock. Ace’s fingers graze my hips carefully, causing hot sparks to dance on them. “Ah,” I jerk up, and he retreats his hands immediately. “No, wait,” I plead,
Emma I bite my bottom lip, my gaze jumping from him to the fire shining through the trees and back to him. “We can’t…” His grin grows, and he puts his hands onto my hips, letting them glide onto my back and down to my ass. I lose myself in his eyes as he locks his gaze with mine, my hands driving
Emma “This is ridiculous,” Kai mutters against his glass before taking a large gulp out of it. I sigh, tugging at my dress as I reposition myself. “But you wanted to attend the bonfire. Don’t you like it?” The crackling noises of the large fire accompany the witches' chants and laughter as they
Emma “See?” Corvina giggles as she turns around to me, Kai still looking at her as if he wanted to rip her head off. She looks back at Kai. “Are you okay?” He nods, but I get up to stand next to Corvina as something in his expression doesn’t convince me. And in fact, as soon as I have reached he
Emma “Nobody threatened me. Why would you think that? I entered a fucking contract. And I agreed to take a chosen mate. Do you realise what a pain it was to go through the candidates until I found someone that didn’t make my skin itch?” Goosebumps cover my skin, and I have to fight to actively cov
Oh, yes. The dreams are always the best, honestly. Taking the last few steps quicker, I chuckle to myself as my memory of the dream I had enhances my mood extremely. My heart flipping in my chest takes my breath away, and the next thing I notice is a mouth-watering scent reaching me. I stop in the
Ace “Wakey, wakey, sunshine.”I open my eyes, propping myself onto my elbow as I push myself up. Corvina is sitting on the edge of my bed, dangling her feet as she grins at me. “Aintín?” I push out a breath, my voice not more than a rasping sound. It’s still strange that I am allowed to still ca
Emma “I’m not drinking that.” I scrunch up my nose, taking a step back. “No way!”Corvina lets her arms slump, sighing. “Oh, come one, Emma. Do you know how rare this potion is? You should feel honoured that I want to give it to you.” “I don’t care how rare it is. What even is this broth? And why
