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
Artemisia “It’s lovely to see that you are getting along again.” I’ve just stumbled back onto the gravel path after tearing myself out of his arms with the last resolve I could find, as Celeste comments on our encounter happily. I don’t want to let the rumour spread about how fucked up it reall
Shaking my head, I feel like a tentacle wrapping around my heart. “This is just awful.” She nods, agreeing with me before we fall silent. The gravel scrunches underneath our shoes, and I listen to the little children blabbering happily as we continue to walk along the river. "To answer your qu
Artemisia “Where the fuck have you been?” Logan glares at me from the top of the stairs. I scoff, forcing a smile as I walk up to him. “Good evening to you too, Logan.” He exhales through his nose while he frowns. “Where have you been so long? You were supposed to finish with the pups about
“Do you have a lot of things to do tomorrow morning?” he asks smugly, and I purse my lips while shaking my head. “Then it’ll be alright.” I lift my nightwear into the air. “I’ll set them down real quick.” “Sure, make yourself at home,” he says, making my heart bloom. Stepping into the bedro
ArtemisiaBy the moment his lips finally claim mine, I become his hostage fully. He pulls me down onto the lounge sofa and shifts to have me lying beneath him. I moan against his lips as he moves his leg between mine and his knee further up, making me spread them for him. Oh, Goddess. Our glasse
Artemisia“What are your plans for today?” Logan’s smoky morning voice gets me to look up at him. He is lying on his back while I’m resting my head on his arm. “I promised Alberta to help her with the sewing work for the costumes for the summer ball to celebrate the solstice.” “You can sew?” he as
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
Finnegan waves dismissively, leaving us observing him while holding our breaths. Apart from some murmurs now and then, there is total silence, and we can literally hear the heartbeats increase simultaneously. “Fynn!” Logan shouts when he has nearly reached Artemisia, and I scoot closer to Ace, loopi
Emma “You are touching me!” Ace raises a brow, looking at me as if I was out of my mind. “You can touch me!” I squeal, wiggling in his hold. “And I’m not turning to ashes.” “You will fall,” he growls, annoyed, increasing his grip around me as I smile up at him. I notice that he has his other ar
Emma “It’s funnier this way anyway… Right, babe?” Bile rises in my throat as Ace, or whatever is controlling him, gets my attention back on him.Ace has pushed his shifted arm right through the Judge’s chest, ripping his heart out and holding it towards me. The blood drips onto the ground, the da
