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?!
Hendrick I cringe as I feel the sharp tip of the metal instrument pierce into my skin. “You were always my favourite.” The memory of his gravelly voice rumbles through my head, making me take a deep breath. I open my eyes, finding Artemisia leaning against my shoulder as she has fallen asleep dur
Oh, yes. The dreams are always the best, honestly. Taking the last few steps quicker, I chuckle to myself as my memory of the dream I had enhances my mood extremely. My heart flipping in my chest takes my breath away, and the next thing I notice is a mouth-watering scent reaching me. I stop in the
Ace “Wakey, wakey, sunshine.”I open my eyes, propping myself onto my elbow as I push myself up. Corvina is sitting on the edge of my bed, dangling her feet as she grins at me. “Aintín?” I push out a breath, my voice not more than a rasping sound. It’s still strange that I am allowed to still ca
Emma “I’m not drinking that.” I scrunch up my nose, taking a step back. “No way!”Corvina lets her arms slump, sighing. “Oh, come one, Emma. Do you know how rare this potion is? You should feel honoured that I want to give it to you.” “I don’t care how rare it is. What even is this broth? And why
Emma The clacking of beads makes me jump out of my thoughts, Corvina entering the kitchen through the strings of wooden and glass pearls that serve as the door to her bedroom. “Having trouble sleeping?” I nod, clasping my cup of tea tighter. “I made myself a cup of tea, I hope that is alright for
Emma I wake up, my head feeling like little gremlins living inside of it are hammering against my brain. Groaning, I turn around, finding Kai completely knocked out. He is lying on his back, his bare body making my mouth water as its perfect muscular shape gets enhanced by the moonlight streaming
Emma “This smells amazing.” Kai’s eyes sparkle as he watches Corvina put down the plate filled with a deliciously smelling stew in front of us. “What is it?” “Something delicious, easy to cook, and also nutritious for the pup,” Corvina circles her hand around, sitting down next to me. Ace leans i
Emma “Are you sure that you have thought of everything?” Artemisia scurries around in our quarters, Kai looking at me while rolling his eyes. “Yes, Mom. I already told you.” Ace and Kai lift their bags and mine onto their shoulders and we walk down the stairs to leave the pack house followe
Emma “Good morning, my—” Hendrick is about to greet us happily as he gets body-checked and shoved out of the way. Kai appears in the room, his hair tousled and his shirt sticking to his chiseled body as he must be covered in sweat. “What is happening here?” ‘Oh, hello,’ my wolf purrs, the growl r
Emma The next morning, I get woken up by a purr vibrating through my mind. Blinking against the sunbeams intruding into our bedroom, I groan, wrapping myself into my blanket. Kai has long left for his training, and I blow into my cheek as I hate waking up in an empty bed. Especially after such a
