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
Ace slumps down in the armchair next to the bed, sighing. “Kai,” he says lowly, making me open my eyes to look at him. His eyes are set on Emma, but they seem directed into a void where he lost himself in. “I know that you hate me for what I have done to you. But you need to know that I didn’t plan
Kai I play with the chain of my necklace, sitting, leaning against the headboard. Emma is sleeping peacefully next to me, and I let my fingers glide through her light hair, wrapping a strand of it around my finger. “Are you done playing the asshole?” Ace says as he steps out of the shadows into t
Emma “I’m never going to forgive you,” I pout as Kai gets back on me, after throwing me onto the bed. He is kissing my belly up to my breasts even if I would like him to go in the other direction. “I just couldn’t believe that he would follow us and then hide his scent. What a dickhead. They want
Emma “Cayden said that we could bail out on the Judge's visit if you want to.” Kai is caressing my hair while I’m lying on his chest. “Hmmm…” I keep my eyes closed, too tired to open them. “I don’t know. I would love to stay here until their visit is over, but at the same time, I don’t want to see
“I want to feel you cum while you clamp down on my dick,” he growls, pulling me to impale myself on him. My breath hitches in my throat as I lower myself on him, my pussy stretching around his thick cock. My skin burns under his intense gaze, as he observes me taking him in and adjusting on him. “
EmmaDiving into the water, I let my sorrows slide off, washed away by the water as I swim as far as I manage to hold my breath. Inhaling deeply, I resurface and I push my hair out of my face, turning to watch Kai lying on a beach bed on the patio. White fabrics hanging from the pergola flow in th
He scrunches his nose, keeping himself from attacking his brother again as he tears himself away from me to reach Emma. Kai grabs her wrist, pulling her with him, she only looks back once before being led down the stairs and out of the pack house. Turning around, I point towards Ace who is still lo
Finnegan - Only moments before “Stop it,” I hear Artemisia giggle as I enter the quarters. “You can’t provoke me to do it just like that.” “Wanna bet?” Cayden chuckles, and as I enter the sitting room they are in with a broad smile, I must notice disappointedly that I totally misinterpreted their
“I—“ I start, my stutter killing my voice at the top of my throat. Kai takes a step forward, pulling me behind him, but that only triggers Ace’s rage. “Do you think you could stop me, brother?” he chuckles darkly. “If I wanted to get to my mate?” “As for now, she isn’t your mate,” Kai says, puffin
