Emma I want to die. They must have given me the same serum they gave Aunty Artemisia to put my wolf to sleep. I can hear her murmuring in the back of my head, apologising over and over again as she can’t seem to find the strength to heal me. A feeble humming reaches my ears as Serena is playing
He pulls at the jacket covering my frozen body, repositioning me in his arms. “Just another bit. We will be home in a minute.” Reopening my eyes, I follow the shadowy figure again, noticing that we must be going faster. It doesn’t take much longer until we halt abruptly, and Kai gets out of the ca
Ace “Don’t!” Only now do I notice that I’m nearly crushing my teeth and I relax, unclenching my jaw. I turn around, looking at my brother who has his head buried in his hands. “It wouldn’t be worth it.” “I’m not sure about that,” I grumble, turning back around to look at the lab door. “Not even
“Aren’t you coming with us?” she asks, looking up at me with big eyes. “They said you had to come with us!” I smile and shake my head. “I’m coming home with you, Sese. But I won’t be driving with you. It’s safer like this.” “You always say that. But it doesn’t make any sense.” She scrunches up her
Ace “What happened?” Cayden asks me as we sit down on two armchairs in his office after he got me out of my unofficial welcome celebration. “They did a few tests on Emma. She decided to make a deal with Judge Attwood, so she could prevent him from keeping Serena at the Royal Palace.” He lowers hi
‘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.
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
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
Emma It looks like Kai found what he was looking for, because he walks through a set of bushes. Kneeling, he puts me down gently, Ace following with a lost expression. “Go ahead,” Kai entices him, putting my head on his knees. “Spread your legs for him, babe.” My blush must be spreading to my br
Oh, fuck, yes! I start moaning loudly on purpose, wanting to incite him as Kai continues to fuck me gently, lifting me up and down on his cock. Ace’s fingers graze my hips carefully, causing hot sparks to dance on them. “Ah,” I jerk up, and he retreats his hands immediately. “No, wait,” I plead,
Emma I bite my bottom lip, my gaze jumping from him to the fire shining through the trees and back to him. “We can’t…” His grin grows, and he puts his hands onto my hips, letting them glide onto my back and down to my ass. I lose myself in his eyes as he locks his gaze with mine, my hands driving
Emma “This is ridiculous,” Kai mutters against his glass before taking a large gulp out of it. I sigh, tugging at my dress as I reposition myself. “But you wanted to attend the bonfire. Don’t you like it?” The crackling noises of the large fire accompany the witches' chants and laughter as they
Emma “See?” Corvina giggles as she turns around to me, Kai still looking at her as if he wanted to rip her head off. She looks back at Kai. “Are you okay?” He nods, but I get up to stand next to Corvina as something in his expression doesn’t convince me. And in fact, as soon as I have reached he
Emma “Nobody threatened me. Why would you think that? I entered a fucking contract. And I agreed to take a chosen mate. Do you realise what a pain it was to go through the candidates until I found someone that didn’t make my skin itch?” Goosebumps cover my skin, and I have to fight to actively cov
Oh, yes. The dreams are always the best, honestly. Taking the last few steps quicker, I chuckle to myself as my memory of the dream I had enhances my mood extremely. My heart flipping in my chest takes my breath away, and the next thing I notice is a mouth-watering scent reaching me. I stop in the
Ace “Wakey, wakey, sunshine.”I open my eyes, propping myself onto my elbow as I push myself up. Corvina is sitting on the edge of my bed, dangling her feet as she grins at me. “Aintín?” I push out a breath, my voice not more than a rasping sound. It’s still strange that I am allowed to still ca
Emma “I’m not drinking that.” I scrunch up my nose, taking a step back. “No way!”Corvina lets her arms slump, sighing. “Oh, come one, Emma. Do you know how rare this potion is? You should feel honoured that I want to give it to you.” “I don’t care how rare it is. What even is this broth? And why
