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
Artemisia “Are you alright?” I plop my head into the small library where they told me Hendrick was working in. But instead of finding him leaning over his papers, I caught him huddled in an armchair in some strange cape. He inhales sharply, raising his gaze to me as he flashes me a tired smile.
I spent the entire day clinging to Fynn and while I was troubled, he enjoyed it a lot. He kept provoking me, knowing that I couldn’t get away to escape him. “Good that our room is far away from where the others are staying,” he chuckles as I’m relaxing in his arms. “All this talking about Hendrick’
“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
Emma I open my eyes feeling like I’m lying in gelatine. My sight slowly focuses, landing on Aunty Artemisia. She is smiling, her hands tucked flatly under her head. “Good Morning.” “Good morning,” I say with a raspy voice. She exhales, keeping her voice low. “Kai asked me to check on you, and I
My heart starts racing, my air getting cut by the lump forming in my throat. “Wait. My old quarters?” “No, Kai’s quarter,” he answers dryly, pushing the door open. “This is where you will be staying during your mission.”I laugh awkwardly, shaking my head at how he says the word ‘mission’ with a sn
Ace Cayden scoots forward, sitting on the edge of his seat. “So, how will this work? Kai told me you have become the head warrior of the Royal Army. That’s a remarkable achievement to accomplish in just five years. I’m very proud of you, even if I still hope that you will be coming back.” Well, ho
‘We will never bring her back. I’ll eat your heart from the inside if you even think about doing that.’ “What threats, Ace?” His tone is cold, and I know that they see me as brainwashed, but it’s so easy for them to watch it all from the outside without having to feel anything more than just pity.
