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
Artemisia “No!”Corvina’s shrill scream matches the vibrations of my heart as I feel like my throat is too hoarse to even make a sound. My eyes are set on Fynn who is glaring at me with pitch-black eyes, his chest heaving as he shifts back into his threatening appearance. I thought I would be afra
Finnegan My chest burns as Corvina lets her hands hover over my chest, making a feeble purple light stream from her hands into my body. I grit my teeth, praying to the Goddess that it will be over swiftly as I clench the edge of the table with my hand. Corvina hums, reciting spells in a fore
I never imagined they could feel so good. “Maybe you could ask Fynn about the major signs for you to look out for,” Cayden says to Artemisia, making her nod while her eyes are still on me. Suddenly, a fantastic image flashes up before my inner eyes and my heart halts in my chest as I see Artem
Artemisia “This is amazing,” I gush as I turn myself in front of my mirror. The skirt of my long gown dances over the floor as I halt, and flows back into place smoothingly. “It’s like brand new! Thank you, Alberta!” Alberta laughs as she stands up to pick at the dress to adjust it. “It looks so
He smiles sadly, caressing my leg as he chuckles bitterly. “Yeah. I feel how you are pushing yourself to act normally towards me, but as soon Finnegan enters the room, your body just melts away.” “I’m so sorry,” I lean forward, touching his knee as he shakes his head. “This is exactly it. You don’
Artemisia “Kiss? What kiss?” “Don’t lie to me, Logan,” I say, trying to stay calm as his touch starts scorching my skin. “I don’t know what you are talking about,” he says with a chuckle, making my blood boil. I pull my legs back, wanting to get away from him but he holds me in my spot. Gulping
My eyes snap open as another uncomfortable sensation ripples through me, and I guess that the Judge must be just seconds away from pulling my mate’s mark off me. Sobs escape my throat as I feel my consciousness slip away from me, and I must be hallucinating as I see Ace staring down at me with his
EmmaMy stomach churns and an awful sensation streams through my body and not only because the Judge is holding my chin. Something is terribly wrong. As my head spins and my mouth turns dry, I barely hear his voice, my body screaming at me to run as it must register subconsciously that what is abo
Ace‘We will just stay calm and leave everything to your family,’ Aamon purrs, wanting to calm myself as I gulp down the bile rising in my throat. The greater good. The greater good. The greater good. I keep repeating my mantra in my head, taking a deep breath while I tune out Aamon laughing and
Chuckling at my brain thinking that he isn’t as heavy as he seems, I close my eyes. He is going to crush my spine. But I don’t fucking care. I can’t. My eyes follow the Judge talking with Emma as she looks at him terrified. ‘We need to get her,’ I plead, ignoring my bones crushing under the wol
Kai A nauseating sensation wafts through me, causing me to look for my mate through the fighting warriors.I spot my mother making an elegant gesture with her hand. One that might seem irrelevant or random to someone who doesn’t know her, but I know better than that. Just as Emma does. My thought
Emma After the welcome dinner for the Judge, things only got awkward. Artemisia and I showed the Judge and his warriors to their quarters, my stomach churning as we had to be respectful. And sickenly kind. On our way back to our floors, Artemisia had put her arm around me and we had climbed the s
I do a small curtsy quickly, fearing I might throw up if I don’t move instantly. “Me too, your Honour.” ‘Brilliant. You are doing awesomely. We got this, he can’t hurt you if we are here,’ the voice calms my panicky self, even if I can’t wrap my head around who he might be or think about the fact t
Emma “It’s Blackwood,” Kai mumbles, making me giggle. Is it? I shake my head, flashing the Judge my best smile. “Just a little bit, your Honour. Nothing to be worried about.” Wrapping my arm around Serena who hides behind me while clasping my dress, I watch him laugh while holding his belly. “We
Now I finally manage to smile, leaning slightly towards her as Judge Attwood nods, his happy expression growing. “I see, Kai Blackwood and Emma Silvester will be a fantastic couple to lead the pack. I can already picture it perfectly.” “Thank you, Judge Attwood. I feel immensely honoured by your co
