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
Hendrick I sense Cayden wanting to move, and I take a step forward to lay a hand on his shoulder. “Think of Missy,” I whisper before grinning at the bitch. “Madam Patricia, how lovely to see you again.” Her smile falls only for a split second before she regains it again, “It’s still Rachel, Hendr
I breathe out exhaustedly, shaking my head. “I don’t know. But this does not look good.” Rachel leads us into the east wing, showing us the rooms where we are residing, and after reciting the basic pieces of information about the lunch times and general palace rules, she shocks us with the informat
Artemisia As the first day of the trial begins, I feel exhausted and depressed. Actually, perfect for standing in front of a bunch of old men with funny wigs, next to your own family who is attacking you, and concentrating objectively on a matter. After telling Cayden that Rick saw my wolf, it wa
“How practical,” I scoff, shaking my head. “Why didn’t you bring mom? She could have been a witness! She could have told the judge that everything was fine.” The judge sighs, scratching his forehead. “Don’t talk directly to the plaintiff, Luna Blackwood. Talk to me. What has your mother to do with
Emma It looks like Kai found what he was looking for, because he walks through a set of bushes. Kneeling, he puts me down gently, Ace following with a lost expression. “Go ahead,” Kai entices him, putting my head on his knees. “Spread your legs for him, babe.” My blush must be spreading to my br
Oh, fuck, yes! I start moaning loudly on purpose, wanting to incite him as Kai continues to fuck me gently, lifting me up and down on his cock. Ace’s fingers graze my hips carefully, causing hot sparks to dance on them. “Ah,” I jerk up, and he retreats his hands immediately. “No, wait,” I plead,
Emma I bite my bottom lip, my gaze jumping from him to the fire shining through the trees and back to him. “We can’t…” His grin grows, and he puts his hands onto my hips, letting them glide onto my back and down to my ass. I lose myself in his eyes as he locks his gaze with mine, my hands driving
Emma “This is ridiculous,” Kai mutters against his glass before taking a large gulp out of it. I sigh, tugging at my dress as I reposition myself. “But you wanted to attend the bonfire. Don’t you like it?” The crackling noises of the large fire accompany the witches' chants and laughter as they
Emma “See?” Corvina giggles as she turns around to me, Kai still looking at her as if he wanted to rip her head off. She looks back at Kai. “Are you okay?” He nods, but I get up to stand next to Corvina as something in his expression doesn’t convince me. And in fact, as soon as I have reached he
Emma “Nobody threatened me. Why would you think that? I entered a fucking contract. And I agreed to take a chosen mate. Do you realise what a pain it was to go through the candidates until I found someone that didn’t make my skin itch?” Goosebumps cover my skin, and I have to fight to actively cov
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
