SIN I slipped into the large hall we often gathered for meetings. It was situated beside the palace building, and it was a building of its own. Anyone that didn't know about us werewolves, especially the humans, would think the building was a large warehouse because they built it that way. Since I came back to Merene, I had renovated it, making it look newer on the inside. Whereas on the outside, anyone could tell it had been existing for a long time because of the structure that was beaten by the extreme weather. I crinkle my nose as the scent of acrylic paint drifted into it. I walked towards the round table and sat on the vacant chair that was far from the others, which signalled I was the leader. Clutching my hands together, I set them in front of me on the table and glanced around. I believe everyone in the pack was present. No one dares defied an order whenever I wanted them to gather for a meeting. Not even my mother, the dowager queen. I wasn't strict, but it had been a ru
SIN It was nighttime when I stepped into the room again. I saw Artemisia standing by the window side, staring up at the light of the moon. She tilted her head and placed her hands on the sill. The nightie she wore ruffled as the wind floated into the room, and her long waist-length ginger hair followed suit. I groaned as her delicious scent glided into my nostrils. My pants tightened, and I glanced at the already forming dent on it. It was just like always. I wondered if I would ever be free from the spell she had placed on me, as I didn't see it to be an ordinary thing. No woman had ever affected me this way. For others, when I felt like getting laid, I needed to be close to them, and initiate some sort of romance before I got turned on.Sometimes, I don't get turned on, I just do what I want and leave almost immediately. I wasn't the one to dwell on a fling or a one-night stand. I like to tell the women I wanted to be with beforehand, so they wouldn't read any meaning to whate
ARTEMISIA I watched Sin as he strode to the window side. He tugged his hair and let out a low growl, making me think about what was happening to him. Perhaps he was transforming? I mulled whilst remembering what I read on the internet.He had said I shouldn't believe anything that was said there. But I could not help but wonder how he often transforms. Would his bones break? Would he be in agony, as stated? And would he be bloodthirsty and look monstrous? I couldn't stop picturing the way he would be in his wolf form. I had only seen his eyes swirling from black to golden. It was terrifying when I glanced at him during the transformation. I doubt if I would want to stay in the same room as him if I see him in his wolf form. “If the question is too difficult for you to answer, you need not,” I said, catching his attention. Even though I know what the terms I asked him to explain meant, I wanted more clarification from him. He was a werewolf, and he would know how it works. “No
ARTEMISIAI sat on the bed after a while. Sin was still in the room with me but we didn't say a word to each other.Rather, we were lost in thoughts. The silence between us was a comfortable one and I enjoyed it. I glanced at him, his hands covered his face and he let out a grimace."Now it all makes sense." He mumbled."What makes sense?" I asked, tilting a brow."The urges I had come to develop when you are near." He stated."What urge?" I inquired again.Sin stared at me with, 'Are you a dummy?' Look. I shrugged whilst waiting for answers to my questions.It wasn't my fault he didn't like explaining things. If he had explained better, I was sure I wouldn't have asked him for more explanation.He walked to the window and back to the bedside."You know, I married you to take over the throne of Merene." He began, paused, let out a sigh and shook a strand of hair out of his face.I nodded. He had married me because of that. I had
ARTEMISIA“What was the report of yesterday's watch?”I heard Sin ask. Then there was silence. I placed my ears on the large wooden door, but I could not hear anything again.I straightened whilst I heard footsteps. My breath hitched as I glanced around. There was no secret hideout in the narrow passageway I was in and wondered what would happen if I was caught eavesdropping.For a brief moment, I stood next to the door whilst waiting for whoever was approaching. I stared around and let out a sigh as I saw no one.Clutching the metal doorknob, I tilted my head and thought of what Sin was going to say.I doubt he would be pleased to see me. I was aware the place was where the werewolves' pack gathered, as he said. Likewise, I understood I shouldn't be seen even close to the door, much less being inside the room.Yet, I was curious. I wanted to see what was going on inside the large house which I thought was an abandoned warehouse.Most especially, I wanted to see who the members of the
ARTEMISIA“You need to obey me for once and stay out of trouble.” Sin rasped.“But I did nothing wrong,” I mumbled, eyeing him.I bit my lower lip to stop myself from laughing as he glared at me. He didn't look angry to me, rather he was cute.His lashes were ridiculously long for a man. Most women I knew had falsies on, whereas Sin had them in abundance.I was among the women that had scanty lashes, but I don't like using artificial ones. I'd rather use mascara than burden myself with it.“You did.” He gritted his teeth, then clutched my hand that was wandering to the pen, which was beside a large piece of paper that looked like a map.I shrugged, jerking my hand away from his. Then concentrated on a brunette that cleared her throat.She stood from the chair and glanced around the hall before speaking.“In the group I was in, nothing out of the ordinary happened during the watch.” She said.Sin nodded his head, and she sat before glancing at another brunette that raised her hand.“Yes
ARTEMISIAI wrapped my hand around his neck and shoved my body into his.Sin bit on my bottom lip, I moaned, and he used the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth.I felt his member stiffen as it sprang to life. I hopped into his arms, wrapping my leg around his waist.“Shit!” Sin grunted, whilst supporting me with his hand.His lips left mine momentarily, and they moved to my neck.I gasped as he sucked on the spot where he had marked me. My eyes rolled into my head and I clutched the back of his hair tighter whilst pleasure began building in me.“Oh, gods,” I murmured, tossing my head back, so he could assess my neck more.Sin tossed me on the bed, and he came on top of me swiftly. One hand undid my buttons whilst the other was underneath my dress, lingering on the silky pant I donned.“Sin!” I squirmed whilst he nudged the pants aside. His hand slipped into my wet fold and I gasped.For a brief second, I forgot about the werewolf world and all the questions I had about him. I
ARTEMISIA“Where is Emma?” I asked Julie, who was still by the window side.She glanced at me and let out a sigh.“She is asleep. Again, she sleeps like a log.”“I agree,” I mumbled.If possible, anyone could steal her while asleep. I wonder how possible it was for a person to sleep without coming awake till the next morning.I had told her several times, and she had told me she needed enough sleep for her body to develop well.Moreover, she had said that I looked underdeveloped because I barely get a lot of sleep, and I was a picky eater.I didn't feel bad about her statement because I knew that was how she was. She liked using derogatory comments about me.Thinking about it now, I doubt if it was because of sleep, she was curvier than I.Julie was a picky eater, and she could stay awake the whole night. Sometimes, I wonder how she did because she was always cheerful the next morning. Whereas, only a few hours of missed sleep would turn me into a grumpy being.Yet, Julie was curvy, an
