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
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
