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
Crossing the sterile halls, we get into her room as silently as possible. I practically feel the tension lift from my shoulders as I finally see her and get to hold her hand as I settle into the chair next to her bed. Finnegan takes the seat on the other side of her bed and lays his head on it whi
Giorgio “I can’t believe this!” I look into the void as Riccardo paces up and down in front of me. “Has the Blackwood contacted you already?” I shake my head, massaging my temples. “No, I didn’t hear anything from him.”Shifting in my seat, I stretch as I add, “But they are back in their pack, so
Artemisia “Where do you want this?” Matthew asks as he holds up a bag filled with books as if it was made out of feathers. I point to a corner in the living room, “Over there, please.” It’s just been a few hours since we arrived at the beach house, and I’m already in love. The interiors reflect t
Emma“Please stop fighting,” Serena sobs as she is still standing between us. I grimace while my heart drums louder against my rib cage, but I hold my head high, not wanting to submit to his insane brainwashed state. “This is bullshit and you know that. You didn’t sewer the bond because you know de
Emma “Ugh! I can’t do this anymore!” Serena whines while Ace towers over her with his arms crossed. “You are making it more difficult than it is, Sese. Stop acting up.” Serena lets her arms slump, groaning. “We have been training for hours. I feel like pudding and Emma just got out of the hospita
Kai“You really don’t need to carry me,” Emma giggles as she snuggles into my arms when I pick her up as soon as we get out of the car. I grin as I walk up the stairs and thank the Omega who comes to open the front door for us. “Why? Are you already tired of your princess treatment?” “Never,” she
Emma “No worries,” Doctor Davies laughs as he enters the room. “I know how mates are. There is nothing that could surprise me anymore.” He turns around, looking at me, and he flashes me a big smile. As if he didn’t just treat my severe burns because of my mate’s touch. The best thing about Docto
“How bad is it?” I ask lowly, and he tilts his head, caressing my head as he flashes me an encouraging smile. “It’s all good. You got burned pretty badly, but it will soon be better. Your wolf is doing a great job.” I sigh, closing my eyes as I feel tired. “I feel a lot better already.” “That’s g
Emma My body floats in the jelly-like water again, and I fill my lungs with a deep breath before I open my eyes again to focus them on the dark ceiling. Like the last time, the flickering lights aren’t enough to enlighten the room, and I sigh exhausted as I feel my wounds close with a sizzling se
Ace - Five Years Ago “We have to stop,” Emma whispers as soon as I break the kiss, only to claim her lips again. “We will get caught.” I chuckle, biting into her lip, making her mewl lowly. “Only if you keep talking.” “I’m serious, Ace. If they find us here we will hear it until the end of our da
Emma My heart pounds against my rib cage as I try to keep my breathing steady. I’m frozen to my spot as I stare up at him. “Mate.” Jax’s rough voice vibrates through me, making goosebumps rise on my skin. “You called for me?” I’m only able to shake my head slightly, my body shivering as if I had
“Sorry, I had to mix a new ointment as the one I had prepared was gone.” I try to sit up slowly as she halts in her tracks, sniffing the air, and closes the door behind her. “Don’t let them sneak into your room without taking responsibility for wanting to be with you. They got that from their fath
