“Okay,” I breathe out and he shifts, dragging me out of bed with him. “Enough now. Come take a warm shower with me,” he says, making me giggle as he already carries me into the bathroom. *** “You can’t be serious about wanting to make her move around constantly. Did you see how weak she is?” My m
Artemisia “This one!” Ramona squeals, but my mother peeks at it, scrunching up her nose. “Isn’t she supposed to walk through a forest? With that gown, she would just swipe the ground.” Ramona groans while I giggle. “You surely know how to take the magic out of things, Lulu.” My mother gasps thea
"Oh, please..." Red eyes?! Devils. Crouching down, I clasped my skirt to keep it from sliding down. “Where did you see the red eyes, Ed?” “Don’t even try,” Matthew warned me. “He will just make you feel confused. Like on the worst trip ever.” I would have liked to chuckle, but Edward’s eyes ke
Artemisia I lower my hand slowly, my surroundings moving around me like I was in a dream. A very bad one. Fynn reaches out, grabbing Rachel’s wrist to pull her into a hug, sending a dagger right through my heart. I flinch as to the piercing pain adds my pups moving to kick me painfully. Taking
“Yes,” I answer, clawing onto his strong shoulders as suddenly, I feel the pups move again. A blow hits me full force, making an excruciating pain ripple through me. I don't even get to scream as it causes me to black out immediately. *** By the time I wake up, I find myself lying in a hospital b
Artemisia The next few days are quite a struggle, but soon enough, I can breathe better and the presence of my mates seems to have a calming effect on the babies. They never calm down fully and keep moving around aggressively, even managing to break other bones but luckily my wolf has it covered
“Right,” I breathe out, my emotions starting to swirl freely as I can’t decide if I want to start crying desperately or just run away. Laying my hand on my stomach, I try channelling my breathing, as I feel fire rise again. This time Fynn doesn’t seem to be as absorbed by Rachel as he looks at m
Artemisia “Hey,” Fynn says quietly as he steps next to my bed. “Hey,” I answer in a whisper, closing my book. He puts his hands in his pockets, smiling. “You look incredibly beautiful.” “Thank you,” I say while blushing, and lean my head against the headboard of my bed. He grins as he sits on t
“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.
