Artemisia My mouth still feels incredibly dry as I walk behind Rachel, who leads me through the large hallways to my doctor’s appointment. As if it wouldn’t suffice that I’m crazily agitated because of the check-up, I have Hendrick’s words resounding in my head. I gasp lowly as I suddenly realise
I take a deep breath, knocking against the door and a muffled voice invites me to step in. After opening the door, I make a small curtsy as I spot one of the judges standing next to the doctor. ‘The asshole judge,’ Cassy gasps, making me shake myself to keep me from rolling my eyes. “Luna Blackwo
Artemisia He scrunches up his nose, raising his gaze to the door. “It looks like your mate is already waiting for you in front of the door.” I jerk up, turning towards the door, questioning my senses as I didn’t pick up on that. ‘Sorry, I shielded that one from you because I thought it might make
As soon as I’m sitting comfortably, he leans down to kiss me and walks around to sit in front of me. But he has barely pulled out his chair as my brother approaches us, making him halt in his movements. “Blackwood,” he nods towards Cayden, who straightens his spine, grumbling. “George.” I roll m
Artemisia Even if I would like nothing more than to go to bed, I force down my dinner and act as if nothing were as I stroll through the garden of the palace with Cayden. They need to see us together as much as possible, so I let the stress scroll off my stiff shoulders, and try to enjoy the time
Cayden “What? No!” “Are they fucking kidding?” “This can’t be real!” “I’m going to fucking get their heads!” The outraged voices of my brothers mix with the cracking of my heart as it drops the broken pieces into my stomach.Aiden growls in my head, making it hard for me to think straight. Thi
Cayden“We are out of here. NOW!” I growl as I carry Artemisia, who is still passed out, to the cars. “Pack up everything. I’ll get her out before they pull another stupid trick.” Ramona nods, and she runs back inside with Matthew and Hendrick to pack our things while Finnegan and the warriors shif
Cayden The pressure weighing on my heart is nearly unbearable as I pace back and forth in the hallway of the pack hospital, waiting for Doctor Davies to finish running all the tests. Finnegan has his head buried in his hands as he claws at his hair, causing my chest to squeeze even more. “What th
Ace slumps down in the armchair next to the bed, sighing. “Kai,” he says lowly, making me open my eyes to look at him. His eyes are set on Emma, but they seem directed into a void where he lost himself in. “I know that you hate me for what I have done to you. But you need to know that I didn’t plan
Kai I play with the chain of my necklace, sitting, leaning against the headboard. Emma is sleeping peacefully next to me, and I let my fingers glide through her light hair, wrapping a strand of it around my finger. “Are you done playing the asshole?” Ace says as he steps out of the shadows into t
Emma “I’m never going to forgive you,” I pout as Kai gets back on me, after throwing me onto the bed. He is kissing my belly up to my breasts even if I would like him to go in the other direction. “I just couldn’t believe that he would follow us and then hide his scent. What a dickhead. They want
Emma “Cayden said that we could bail out on the Judge's visit if you want to.” Kai is caressing my hair while I’m lying on his chest. “Hmmm…” I keep my eyes closed, too tired to open them. “I don’t know. I would love to stay here until their visit is over, but at the same time, I don’t want to see
“I want to feel you cum while you clamp down on my dick,” he growls, pulling me to impale myself on him. My breath hitches in my throat as I lower myself on him, my pussy stretching around his thick cock. My skin burns under his intense gaze, as he observes me taking him in and adjusting on him. “
EmmaDiving into the water, I let my sorrows slide off, washed away by the water as I swim as far as I manage to hold my breath. Inhaling deeply, I resurface and I push my hair out of my face, turning to watch Kai lying on a beach bed on the patio. White fabrics hanging from the pergola flow in th
He scrunches his nose, keeping himself from attacking his brother again as he tears himself away from me to reach Emma. Kai grabs her wrist, pulling her with him, she only looks back once before being led down the stairs and out of the pack house. Turning around, I point towards Ace who is still lo
Finnegan - Only moments before “Stop it,” I hear Artemisia giggle as I enter the quarters. “You can’t provoke me to do it just like that.” “Wanna bet?” Cayden chuckles, and as I enter the sitting room they are in with a broad smile, I must notice disappointedly that I totally misinterpreted their
“I—“ I start, my stutter killing my voice at the top of my throat. Kai takes a step forward, pulling me behind him, but that only triggers Ace’s rage. “Do you think you could stop me, brother?” he chuckles darkly. “If I wanted to get to my mate?” “As for now, she isn’t your mate,” Kai says, puffin
