Artemisia I surely have gone through enough heartbreaking moments in my life, but setting down Emma while she is clawing on me, surely hits the top three. I even had to get Astrid to help me get her into her bed as she started sobbing as soon as she got separated from me. I figured that it must h
Artemisia “Stop it,” I whisper pleadingly, my eyes still glued onto the dolls panicky. “Make it stop!” Just as I have uttered my plea the voices stop and the dolls tipple over inanimate. Turning my head slowly to face Fynn, I find him watching him with one of his stupid grins plastered on his fac
I scrunch my nose, playing with his shirt. “I understand now why you were so triggered by me calling myself Beta-Female.” “Yeah,” he pushes out a dry laugh. “As I found you I couldn’t stop thinking about how stupid I had been. How you could have been my Beta-Female, and wouldn’t have to cope with a
Artemisia “Is that why you said you didn’t want me as your mate?” My tears well up with tears as he nods. “Is that why you treated me like I was dirt? To make me hate you? And so make me reject you?” I ask, desperation taking over. “Yes,” he admits. “But it didn’t fucking work. You couldn’t stay
Artemisia“How are you so wet already?” he asks with a smirk, circling my clit with his finger. I moan, clasping his t-shirt, “Oh, shut up!” His smirk just gets broader, and he lets go of my hair, moving his other hand under my dress as well. “Get this off,” he growls, and I comply hurriedly, pul
Artemisia I remain clung onto him desperately as he moves his arms to sling them around my body, making me close my legs slightly and wrap them around his waist. “Damn, princess,” he pushes out, his chest heaving. After staying like this for a second, allowing our heartbeats to sync with each oth
Artemisia The next day I wake up in an empty bed. Passing my hand over the now cold bedsheets, I sigh deeply. He must have gotten away from me as soon as he could. I know that he struggled at the fact of not marking me, but he was just too set on doing it with his brothers as their marks would h
Artemisia “Didn’t I fucking tell you to hurry up?” His shouting crawls right into my veins, reaching my heart feeling like a stab. “I- I am sorry,” I say, standing up, but he just clicks his tongue. My heart flutters still in total bliss despite his deadly expression as I watch him come closer.
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
