I turn to Ramona again before I wet my lips with my tongue, “Now? Are you serious?” “Dead serious, princess,” he hisses, and I groan. Throwing my blanket back carefully, I scoot out of bed and grab his wrist to pull him into the kitchen. I close the door softly, and face him, looking straight int
Artemisia I get awakened brusquely from my sleep because of repetitive knocking. “What the hell,” Ramona groans, rubbing her eyes. “Must be our make-up and dressing team,” I say, lying back down. “Oh, my Goddess!” I jerk up as Ramona practically jumps out of bed, “What the hell is this?” “It’s
“I sent them home, I said.” He looks back up at me with an annoyed expression as he clenches his jaw. “Why? They were meant to not only be here for Ramona but also look for me,” I try to argue, fighting to keep my voice calm. “You have enough Omegas here who look perfectly for your well-being, I d
Artemisia My cheeks are already hurting because I can't stop smiling as Fynn is waiting for me at the end of the staircase. I pray to the Goddess that I don’t stumble as I walk down to reach him. After an awfully hectic day during which I was dolled up by a crowd of overly joyful Omegas, everybod
Suddenly, Ramona halts, clasping my arm as she turns around hastily. “Did you smell that?” “What?” I laugh as I continue to bump into her side with my hip. She takes another sniff in the air as she distorts her face, “Did you plan another round of desert?” “Why?” I crack up as I dance around her.
Artemisia ‘Let’s shift anyway!’ Cassy snickers in my head as I’m running through the labyrinth. ‘No, he said we couldn’t!’ I groan back at my wolf, making her giggle in my head. My long gown rustles over the pavement as I run along the path of the labyrinth. ‘Honestly, running away was the stupi
Artemisia My heart skips a beat as Matthew steps behind me and starts opening the zip of my dress slowly. The gown glides down my body to pool at my feet, causing the cold air to graze my skin and raise goosebumps on it. Fynn observes me as his brother proceeds to untie my flimsy corset, my body y
Artemisia Logan repositions himself behind me as Cayden moves his hands up and down my sides. “Spread your legs apart,” Fynn instructs me and as soon as I do so, Logan pushes my hips back, opening myself to him. He positions himself at my entrance, pushing into me slowly. “Fuck, finally.” A moan
“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.
