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
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
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
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
Emma “It’s funnier this way anyway… Right, babe?” Bile rises in my throat as Ace, or whatever is controlling him, gets my attention back on him.Ace has pushed his shifted arm right through the Judge’s chest, ripping his heart out and holding it towards me. The blood drips onto the ground, the da
Emma “You are touching me!” Ace raises a brow, looking at me as if I was out of my mind. “You can touch me!” I squeal, wiggling in his hold. “And I’m not turning to ashes.” “You will fall,” he growls, annoyed, increasing his grip around me as I smile up at him. I notice that he has his other ar
Finnegan waves dismissively, leaving us observing him while holding our breaths. Apart from some murmurs now and then, there is total silence, and we can literally hear the heartbeats increase simultaneously. “Fynn!” Logan shouts when he has nearly reached Artemisia, and I scoot closer to Ace, loopi
Emma“How are you feeling?” I sit still, my hands folded in my lap. It is still unclear how she will react when waking up and if she is really back to being herself. And only the Goddess knows how hard it was to make her mates wait outside the door to be able to talk to her in private and peaceful
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
