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
Artemisia After finishing our tea, Corvina goes to the border with Logan and Matthew to put up the protection spell while I follow Hendrick, who informs Cayden about what Corvina said. We find him in his office, surrounded by high piles of paper. “Don’t you want to take a break?” I ask him, huggi
My eyes snap open as another uncomfortable sensation ripples through me, and I guess that the Judge must be just seconds away from pulling my mate’s mark off me. Sobs escape my throat as I feel my consciousness slip away from me, and I must be hallucinating as I see Ace staring down at me with his
EmmaMy stomach churns and an awful sensation streams through my body and not only because the Judge is holding my chin. Something is terribly wrong. As my head spins and my mouth turns dry, I barely hear his voice, my body screaming at me to run as it must register subconsciously that what is abo
Ace‘We will just stay calm and leave everything to your family,’ Aamon purrs, wanting to calm myself as I gulp down the bile rising in my throat. The greater good. The greater good. The greater good. I keep repeating my mantra in my head, taking a deep breath while I tune out Aamon laughing and
Chuckling at my brain thinking that he isn’t as heavy as he seems, I close my eyes. He is going to crush my spine. But I don’t fucking care. I can’t. My eyes follow the Judge talking with Emma as she looks at him terrified. ‘We need to get her,’ I plead, ignoring my bones crushing under the wol
Kai A nauseating sensation wafts through me, causing me to look for my mate through the fighting warriors.I spot my mother making an elegant gesture with her hand. One that might seem irrelevant or random to someone who doesn’t know her, but I know better than that. Just as Emma does. My thought
Emma After the welcome dinner for the Judge, things only got awkward. Artemisia and I showed the Judge and his warriors to their quarters, my stomach churning as we had to be respectful. And sickenly kind. On our way back to our floors, Artemisia had put her arm around me and we had climbed the s
I do a small curtsy quickly, fearing I might throw up if I don’t move instantly. “Me too, your Honour.” ‘Brilliant. You are doing awesomely. We got this, he can’t hurt you if we are here,’ the voice calms my panicky self, even if I can’t wrap my head around who he might be or think about the fact t
Emma “It’s Blackwood,” Kai mumbles, making me giggle. Is it? I shake my head, flashing the Judge my best smile. “Just a little bit, your Honour. Nothing to be worried about.” Wrapping my arm around Serena who hides behind me while clasping my dress, I watch him laugh while holding his belly. “We
Now I finally manage to smile, leaning slightly towards her as Judge Attwood nods, his happy expression growing. “I see, Kai Blackwood and Emma Silvester will be a fantastic couple to lead the pack. I can already picture it perfectly.” “Thank you, Judge Attwood. I feel immensely honoured by your co
