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
Artemisia “Did you just jump down from the roof?” I gasp but Fynn just grins at me. “Oh, dear,” Ramona chuckles as she holds her hand to her chest as she sits back down. “Is that the brute who came to pick you up?” I shake my head, rolling my eyes. “Don’t call him that.” “Why? Is he this sensiti
Artemisia I kick my legs nervously as I’m sitting on my little couch, waiting for Ramona to finish changing into her pjs.She leaves my en-suite with a deep sigh and comes to sit down next to me. “Wow, your mates are totally nice. I really enjoyed dinner. It was so much fun.” “Yeah, we really have
“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.
