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
Artemisia I’m still sobbing lowly as Cayden walks into my room. My mother has her arms wrapped around me, her head resting on my shoulder while Ramona is sitting on the other side, holding my hand. He walks in silently, my other mates and Corvina following him closely. Fynn, who looks freshly ou
“You have to be fucking kidding me!” I shout at him, throwing my clothes onto the floor. “They literally dragged me to court because they said you were locking me up in the basement.” “I don’t know what to tell you, Missy,” Cayden sighs as Logan takes a step forward.“Your scent was everywhere in t
Riccardo “Can you just make him shut up!” I yell at Torrie, who is trying to calm down the pup screaming his lungs out in her arms. And naturally, she is failing at it. “I don’t know what he has. I have fed him, and he has clean diapers. Maybe he is in pain of some sort,” she tries to justify her
Artemisia I feel like I’m about to pass out from excitement and nervousness as my mother picks at the various layers of my dress. “Are you ready?” she asks me and I lay my hands on my belly, taking a deep breath. “Not really.”My pups seem to be happily calm, and I think back to Giorgio’s and Dia
For a bit, I feel like I can sense the eyes of my mates on me, but I convince myself that it is my imagination just as Fynn’s voice rumbles through my mind. “Babe, I know they told you to take your time… But please, run.” I laugh, shaking my head as I walk over sticks and stones carefully. I see Co
Artemisia I open my eyes, and I regret it instantly. Holding my head, I hope to make it stop spinning around, and I groan in pain as I touch the big bump on the back of it. “What the hell,” I murmur. “Sorry, you weren’t meant to get hurt,” Lisa says, attracting my attention to her as she paces u
“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
“Thank you.” I blink back my tears and walk past him. Gesturing to Chloe to not follow me, I walk towards an Omega, handing her the roll of tape. “Could you take over for me, please?” She does a small curtsy, lowering her head and I leave the room with fast steps. I hurry through the hallwa
Emma As we return to the pack house and our daily lives, I feel like I have been yanked out of paradise. On top of that, we are so taken by our tasks as future Luna and future Alpha that we barely get to see each other. Since Kai asked Alpha Cayden for his official blessing, it seems like t
“What are the odds of that?” Logan gets us to look at him as he purses his lips in thought. “What do you mean?” I straighten my spine, suddenly feeling uncomfortable sitting in my chair. Hendrick sighs, passing his hands over his face. “He means that it is strange that two people who should kn
Artemisia “Airis,” I breathe out. “I found her!” Cayden looks up, peeking into my book as I turn it towards him. With my index finger, I point at the passage that I was just reading and he glues his eyes on the black ink, mumbling as he pulls the book closer for him to read. “Airis, the messen
Emma As I open my eyes after practically fainting out of exhaustion after all those orgasms, I am shocked to find Ace lying right next to me. He has his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping peacefully while Kai is nowhere to be seen. Laying my hands beneath my head, I take advantage of the moment t
Ace slumps down in the armchair next to the bed, sighing. “Kai,” he says lowly, making me open my eyes to look at him. His eyes are set on Emma, but they seem directed into a void where he lost himself in. “I know that you hate me for what I have done to you. But you need to know that I didn’t plan
