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
Artemisia “Matthew?” Lisa asks, not believing her eyes. “What are you doing here?” Matthew steps into the cave, looking at me with a worried expression. “Missy, are you okay?” I nod, not convinced about it. “Just a little shaken.” Something feels strangely off to me as I observe him come closer,
Emma. *** Ace - 5 years ago I observe Emma as she stares in awe, a happy smile plastered on her face. She inspects the many little colourful lights that are hanging from the ceiling of our treehouse and honestly, I am glad she likes them so much because it took me hours to put them up. I scoot
Ace My anxiety grows exponentially as I follow Gregorius into the forest with fast steps. I know that my parents can handle the situation perfectly, but I’m not sure that me helping out Gregorius instead of staying at the pack house to help my father is a good idea. “Are you sure this is what we
Finnegan As I had anticipated, it doesn’t take long for Missy to come rushing down the stairs and reach me in front of the large doors leading to our sons’ quarters. I take a few steps to meet her halfway in the hopes that the smell of destruction and burned ground doesn’t reach her as the doo
I hold my breath as I take a step towards them, despite my racing thoughts and Drake raging in my mind, I can hear Emma’s heart beating, her feeble breathing signalising that she is still alive. “Kai?” “I stopped just in time.” His whisper paired with his lost expression and his saddened grin has
Finnegan “And if we take a few men from here,” Gregorius, my head warrior, reaches over the gigantic map laid out on the table, pulling three figurines to move them to the other side of our territory. “We could cover a larger territory. I know that the Judge doesn’t like this, but we could stop an
Emma“Kai?” All I get as an answer is a growl, his suppressing aura making it hard to breathe and as I can’t seem to access my wolf, who just seconds before was practically running wildly in my mind, I’m beginning to panic. Is he locking my wolf away? I gulp painfully, resisting the urge to take
“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
