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
Cayden “This is ridiculous,” I murmur as I pace up and down, locked in by an extremely annoying, buzzing shield. I hear Fynn laughing in the distance, and I shake my head with a grin. He must be elated just as I am, but I guess that he enjoys the thrill of the chase and all this pent-up anticipat
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
