Artemisia “I can’t find my dress,” I murmur as I look through my clothes, feeling like I’m about to pass out from exhaustion and pain. “Which one?” Matthew wraps his arm around my waist as he steps to my side, stabilising me. I hum, leaning into him. “The red short one. The one with the white dot
Fynn chuckles into my ear as he hugs me closer, “He is so old-fashioned that he thought he couldn’t ask you directly about what you liked but had to talk to your lady in waiting.” “Argh, shut up, Finnegan,” Hendrick growls, making Fynn grin against the back of my neck. “He is nervous.” Hendrick s
Artemisia “Where are the spices we bought?” Ramona asks as she looks through my special cooking bag. I sigh sadly while I watch her go through the bag, which must be the best protected bag in the universe. “I had to throw them away. They were left behind with my pot.” “Oh, damn.” She pouts as she
Artemisa “What the hell is that smell?” I watch Hendrick contort his face in rage as Lisa clasps the edge of the tray, making her knuckles go white. “It’s… It’s a sweet tea, just like Missy likes it,” she stutters, trying to make excuses. “But I… I don’t know what is in it. Alberta prepared it. I
ArtemisiaI gasp as it hits me like Lisa took out a knife to stab me right into my stomach. Clasping my clothes, I fight to keep standing upright, forcing my brain to stop making my surroundings spin.“Bella donna?” Ramona asks, scrunching up her nose. “Are you tripping? This isn’t the moment to fli
He lifts his hand, his desperation showing in his eyes as he justifies himself. “I didn’t know that she was poisoning you?! I just felt sorry for her because she kept crying about being left alone to me repeatedly! I felt pity for her, damn, never would I have wanted her close to you if I knew that.
Artemisia Tonight I slept the worst possible way. In my dreams, I kept being haunted by Logan, transforming into different monsters wanting to slash my throat, and my family dragging me back to their pack. Several times, I jerked out of my dreams in the middle of the night and needed a frustratin
“I’m pregnant,” I shrug, smiling happily as their eyes widen. “No way?!” Cayden has barely uttered his surprise as he skyrockets out of his seat, charging towards me. Wrapping his arms around my legs, he lifts me up, and I squeal as I hold myself onto the collar of his shirt. “You aren’t kidding?!
Emma. *** Ace - 5 years ago I observe Emma as she stares in awe, a happy smile plastered on her face. She inspects the many little colourful lights that are hanging from the ceiling of our treehouse and honestly, I am glad she likes them so much because it took me hours to put them up. I scoot
Ace My anxiety grows exponentially as I follow Gregorius into the forest with fast steps. I know that my parents can handle the situation perfectly, but I’m not sure that me helping out Gregorius instead of staying at the pack house to help my father is a good idea. “Are you sure this is what we
Finnegan As I had anticipated, it doesn’t take long for Missy to come rushing down the stairs and reach me in front of the large doors leading to our sons’ quarters. I take a few steps to meet her halfway in the hopes that the smell of destruction and burned ground doesn’t reach her as the doo
I hold my breath as I take a step towards them, despite my racing thoughts and Drake raging in my mind, I can hear Emma’s heart beating, her feeble breathing signalising that she is still alive. “Kai?” “I stopped just in time.” His whisper paired with his lost expression and his saddened grin has
Finnegan “And if we take a few men from here,” Gregorius, my head warrior, reaches over the gigantic map laid out on the table, pulling three figurines to move them to the other side of our territory. “We could cover a larger territory. I know that the Judge doesn’t like this, but we could stop an
Emma“Kai?” All I get as an answer is a growl, his suppressing aura making it hard to breathe and as I can’t seem to access my wolf, who just seconds before was practically running wildly in my mind, I’m beginning to panic. Is he locking my wolf away? I gulp painfully, resisting the urge to take
“Alpha Guerrieri, Alpha Saviano, as you surely already know, we aren’t in need of any support. But we appreciate your offer, and I would suggest that I let a few omegas prepare two guest rooms for you in the east wing so that you can participate in the festivities with the Judge. But I have to ask y
Emma I get startled awake by another nightmare, waking up just at the perfect moment to escape one of the guards of my dark cell piercing a silver knife into my skin. Groaning, I push my hair out of my face, scanning the bedroom. To my disappointment, my mate is still gone, and I push out a breath
Emma I flinch as a set of red eyes come closer, shining through the pitch-black darkness of the cell I’m sitting in. Shuddering, I clasp my mother’s long dress for comfort as I can still smell her scent. Even if it is slowly turning sour, her skin’s coldness only adds to the one seeping into my b
