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
“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
Artemisia “I, Riccardo Saviano, future Alpha of the Gray Shadow Moon Pack, reject you, Artemisia Guerrieri, Daughter of Alpha Franco of the Blood Moon Pack, as my mate and future Luna.” I flinch as my feet touch the surface of the cold water and groan as the flashback of the day in which I accepte
Artemisia “All that shouting doesn’t really suit a pretty lady.” My brother chuckles as he walks into my bedroom. I scoff, rolling my eyes, continuing to sulk while staring outside the window. “It’s just not fair.” “A lot of things aren’t!” He simply states, getting me to turn around to look a
Artemisia He can’t be my mate. His scent would have overpowered everyone else’s easily and signaled me that he was near. I chew at my thumbnail while my thoughts keep running wild about the fact that all of this just doesn’t make any sense. Also, how bothersome it would be to have a Blackwood as
Artemisia Before my panic can rise drastically, I calm myself down, as his scent must have been enough for me to spot him as my second chance mate. And even if his scent is mouthwatering, it isn’t screaming mate. “Is that a quirk of yours?” I look at him confused, finding him smiling. The hell?!
Artemisia “They were kissing!” Zeno shouts, making me gasp. “Liar!” Giorgio groans, passing a hand over his face. “This is enough! Zeno, I’ll be thinking about an appropriate punishment for you, and you will apologize to Alpha Blackwood appropriately.” After what had happened at the lake, and th
Giorgio The sun's rays make me open my eyes with a groan, and I turn around, laying my arm around my wife’s waist, and pulling her close. She giggles, turning around to kiss me, and I smile. “How are you feeling?” “Strange, but good strange.” I chuckle, hugging her tighter. “I’m glad.” “Are you

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.
