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,
‘We have to get out of here!’ Cassy urges, making me sob. ‘Where? We would just make him angry if we ran.’ Cassy groans, stomping her paws. ‘Then think of something!’ “Where are we going then?” I ask, gulping, making him look at me with a happy smile. “Are you really going to sell me to Rick?” “
Matthew I catch Artemisia as she slumps to the ground after I let go of her and seal my mark with my tongue. She is already trembling as my venom streams through her body that should take the pups’ life. Ambros, who is now nearly completely taken by the demonic entity we made a deal with, had warn
Finnegan “The rogues were a fucking joke,” Logan’s voice rumbles through my mind as we run through the forest to get to Missy. “What were they even thinking?!” Luckily, we could establish the position of where they should be thanks to Corvina calculating the radius of the erected protection shield
Artemisia I’m holding my pups to my chest, wrapping my arms around them in the hopes of warming them up with my own body heat as I’m sitting in a bathtub filled with ice. Their screams rip my heart to pieces, but I can’t give up, it doesn’t matter how much I feel my strength glide from my limbs, I
“Drake!” I shout happily and he climbs over the edge of the tub, to charge towards me and envelop me into a bear hug. I screech as I fall backwards, bracing for the impact but it never comes. Fire streams back through my body, feeling awfully comfortable now as it warms up my blood, making my nerv
Artemisia The air gets knocked out of my lungs as I get pulled against Matthew’s frame, hitting his hard chest. I scream as I thrash in his arms, but he holds me firm to his chest. “I knew you were going to come back for me,” he whispers, making the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Fynn
Looking up slowly, I fight hard to keep my fast breathing in check. Matthew has stilled in his attacking stance as Fynn’s claw has pushed through his chest, ripping out his heart in the process. My eyes widen as I watch Matthew lowering his gaze to observe his heart beating outside his chest, ju
“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.
