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
ArtemisiaBiting my bottom lip, I nod. “Let’s complete it then.” “How love how eager you are when it comes to the important things,” he chuckles, and while he holds me against his frame, he starts kissing me. I sense him moving and as he breaks the kiss, he lifts me up onto a stone platform. Scoot
“Mine,” he growls, making me giggle happily against his lips. Different splashes resound, and he breaks his kiss, sighing. “We had planned to do the marking in a cosy cabin. I hope you will forgive me for luring you here now.” Lifting my hand, I drive it through his hair, rolling my eyes, “As if i
Artemisia The moon shines on Cayden’s gorgeous face, illuminating his face like on the night we first met. I remember clearly how he tried to kiss me, my skin sizzling as my thoughts wander back to that moment, and to how much I wanted him to kiss me. And then he got attacked by my brother. Toni
Ten Years Later Hendrick “This one?” I hold up a coloured book to my daughter as she shakes her head. “Uh-huh,” she sulks, taking her thumb into her mouth. I reposition her on my arm as I reach for another book. “No… So, this one?” She shakes her head again, whining as she pushes it away from h
Finnegan “It’s not that funny,” Cayden reprimands me as I grin back at him, but I can clearly see Artemisia biting her bottom lip to push back a laugh. “We were really lucky that the high court didn’t press charges!” “Lucky that Giorgie made Ricky disappear, you mean,” I observe, making Artemisia
Emma“Please stop fighting,” Serena sobs as she is still standing between us. I grimace while my heart drums louder against my rib cage, but I hold my head high, not wanting to submit to his insane brainwashed state. “This is bullshit and you know that. You didn’t sewer the bond because you know de
Emma “Ugh! I can’t do this anymore!” Serena whines while Ace towers over her with his arms crossed. “You are making it more difficult than it is, Sese. Stop acting up.” Serena lets her arms slump, groaning. “We have been training for hours. I feel like pudding and Emma just got out of the hospita
Kai“You really don’t need to carry me,” Emma giggles as she snuggles into my arms when I pick her up as soon as we get out of the car. I grin as I walk up the stairs and thank the Omega who comes to open the front door for us. “Why? Are you already tired of your princess treatment?” “Never,” she
Emma “No worries,” Doctor Davies laughs as he enters the room. “I know how mates are. There is nothing that could surprise me anymore.” He turns around, looking at me, and he flashes me a big smile. As if he didn’t just treat my severe burns because of my mate’s touch. The best thing about Docto
“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
