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
Artemisia “It will all be alright,” I say, laying my hand on Cayden’s knee as he shakes it repeatedly. He smiles at me, leaning to me to kiss me. “Sorry, it’s just such a mess. And you know how they are looking at us weirdly because of this multiple-mate dynamic.” “Yeah, I know,” I answer calmly
Emma A gasp resounds in the crowd as Ace looks down at me wide-eyed. Holding my arm, I keep shivering as the adrenaline pumps through me. “It’s nothing,” I say, my voice shaking as I hold my burned forearm, the blood dripping through my fingers. His worried face suddenly shifts, his caring expre
“Judge Attwood, my name is Kai Blackwood. I’m pleased to be your interlocutor on this matter,” Kai greets the Judge, holding his head high while the Judge flashes him an enormous smile. “Kai Blackwood. We have already heard a lot about you, and I’m happy to make your acquaintance.” The Judge’s rob
“Alpha Guerrieri, Alpha Saviano, as you surely already know, we aren’t in need of any support. But we appreciate your offer, and I would suggest that I let a few omegas prepare two guest rooms for you in the east wing so that you can participate in the festivities with the Judge. But I have to ask y
Emma I get startled awake by another nightmare, waking up just at the perfect moment to escape one of the guards of my dark cell piercing a silver knife into my skin. Groaning, I push my hair out of my face, scanning the bedroom. To my disappointment, my mate is still gone, and I push out a breath
Emma I flinch as a set of red eyes come closer, shining through the pitch-black darkness of the cell I’m sitting in. Shuddering, I clasp my mother’s long dress for comfort as I can still smell her scent. Even if it is slowly turning sour, her skin’s coldness only adds to the one seeping into my b
“Thank you.” I blink back my tears and walk past him. Gesturing to Chloe to not follow me, I walk towards an Omega, handing her the roll of tape. “Could you take over for me, please?” She does a small curtsy, lowering her head and I leave the room with fast steps. I hurry through the hallwa
Emma As we return to the pack house and our daily lives, I feel like I have been yanked out of paradise. On top of that, we are so taken by our tasks as future Luna and future Alpha that we barely get to see each other. Since Kai asked Alpha Cayden for his official blessing, it seems like t
“What are the odds of that?” Logan gets us to look at him as he purses his lips in thought. “What do you mean?” I straighten my spine, suddenly feeling uncomfortable sitting in my chair. Hendrick sighs, passing his hands over his face. “He means that it is strange that two people who should kn
Artemisia “Airis,” I breathe out. “I found her!” Cayden looks up, peeking into my book as I turn it towards him. With my index finger, I point at the passage that I was just reading and he glues his eyes on the black ink, mumbling as he pulls the book closer for him to read. “Airis, the messen
Emma As I open my eyes after practically fainting out of exhaustion after all those orgasms, I am shocked to find Ace lying right next to me. He has his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping peacefully while Kai is nowhere to be seen. Laying my hands beneath my head, I take advantage of the moment t
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
