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
Artemisia I stare at the fire as the flames rise to the sky with a cracking noise. Wiping another tear from my cheek, I hug Cayden’s arm tighter as he has his gaze fixed on the empty shell of his dead brother’s body that signals the end of his burial.Logan and Hendrick are standing close to me as
They fall back into the bed, and I walk past Hendrick, who is leaning against my bedroom wall to step out of the terrace. Even if the window doors stood wide open, he didn’t come in as well, which worries me. Walking to the balustrade, I lean onto it to scan the ground beneath it. I caress the ha
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
