Cayden“Don’t move. I’m not ready to wake up yet,” I groan into her hair as I feel her squirming in my hold. Artemisia sighs, relaxing in my arms, making me increase my grip on her. “Won’t everybody know that we are in here, and still… I mean…” “Doing it?” I chuckle, and she buries her face agains
Cayden“Want some?” I ask with a grin, and he straightens back up, walking around my desk to sit down in one of the chairs standing in front of it. “Thank you, brother. But I guess you would bestow the most severe form of poisoning on me since the Black Death.” I flash him my canines in a broad gri
Artemisia Now I understand what my mother was talking about. With a smile, I let my fingers glide on my mark as I think back at the amazing feeling when I got it. This time it was painful as well, but the stinging was more pleasant, and the moment when his teeth sunk into my shoulder during my or
Artemisia “Oh, my Goddess!” I breathe out, putting a hand on my chest. A slender and pale woman stands in front of me as I turn around. Her white-blonde hair contrasts with the black gown she is wearing, her icy blue eyes inspect my face before she smiles feebly. “You must be Missy,” she says, he
Artemisia “Missy,” Cassy breathes out, the tone of her voice sounding awfully strange. “Missy,” she repeats as if she couldn’t say anything else. I’d like to answer her, but my throat is too hoarse to speak, my body paralysed by the sight before me. “What the fuck was that?” Fynn shouts, maki
“Thank you,” I breathe out, leaning back against his frame. Looking at Corvina, I sigh deeply, “So, he was ready to sacrifice my life to have some fun.” “What a bloody asshole,” Logan cusses while Fynn has a deadly expression on his face. “I’ll report this,” Cayden says angrily. “The fucking a
Artemisia“So many tears for such a small being,” Cassy snarls, dragging her voice. I guess she is still recovering from her parasite, but it makes me happy nonetheless as she seems to want to gossip with me, instead of belittling me. “Oh, you shouldn’t have sent out Finnegan when he is this angry
Logan charges forward, grabbing Corvina and slamming her against the wall to keep her from intervening. She gasps as she hits the wall full force, and I fear for Logan momentarily as I think a witch surely knows how to defend herself. But as I see her struggling against Logan’s forearm crushing her
“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.
