Armand P.O.V.
I held onto Artemis while we sat on the porch swing. I was glad to be able to help her learn what things were, but I also felt sorrowful that she wasn't able to learn things before. I promised myself that I would do my best to teach her the right way. I would teach her with patience and understanding. I was staring at the flowers in the garden as well as the trees while I thought in silence. Artemis had fallen asleep a few minutes ago and I didn't want to disturb her yet. I knew the rest would do her body some good with everything she had been through. I knew she was still healing and that it would take some time to get her fully healed. I wasn't worried too much about the physical wounds because those would heal in time. I was very concerned about the mental and emotional wounds because those could be harder to heal, if they even did heal. I zoned out while thinking and was pulled into a flash back.

After I woke up Arya told me that Armand was trapped in his mind. I did what I could to get him to be in the present, but it wasn't easy. After I finally got him to snap out of it he took me on a tour of the house. He kept referring to it as ours and I was curious as to why, but didn't ask him. I was shocked when we reached the fourth floor and saw how big it was. He led me to a room that he called ours and I followed him. I felt like my eyes would bulge out of my head when I took in the massive room. It was decorated in dark blues, golds, and blacks. The bed was large and stood between two floor to ceiling windows that were draped with golden curtains. The bed had a dark blue blanket on it and two pillows with gold colored pillow cases on them.I walked along the plush black carpet as I made my towards the bed. I saw two black doors on one side of the room and a soft looking black two seater couch on the other side. There was a fireplace and large black box on
Broken Artemis Armand/Tafari P.O.V.
** Armand P.O.V. **I was stunned when Artemis said those words and then left the kitchen. I sat there in silence staring at the eggs on my plate. Valerian and Jax were silent as well because none of us knew what to say.~"Armand, go to her, she needs you"~I heard Tafari say in my mind. I blinked before getting up and following her scent. It lead me back to the porch swing where she was as curled into herself as she could be. I walked over and gently placed a hand on her shoulder in an attempt not to startle her. She jumped before looking at me with wide tear stained eyes."I'm sorry, Love, I didn't mean to startle you"I said softly as I slowly sat in front of her so I could face her. I cupped her cheeks with my hands once I was sitting down. I stared into her eyes as

** Artemis P.O.V. **I was very thankful when Armand showed up after I was on the swing. I knew I was being emotional, but things were still hard for me. I was still afraid that one day I might regret trusting Armand, like I did with Beta Craig. Arya kept telling me that I could trust him, but it was still hard. He spoke to me, but not long after that there was a shift in the air. I looked into his eyes to see them glowing and I knew his wolf had come forward. I gulped because I was afraid, but Tafari quickly put those fears to rest. When he licked my wrist I giggle because it tickled and I thought he was being silly. I was thankful that he was giving me the space to talk or not. I loved how gentle he was being with me.I listened closely when he told me that he wouldn't force me to have his pups. I found myself falling for him in that moment. Arya was listening in our shared mind and she wa

I woke up sometime later on to find the room empty. As I sat up I felt something slick and wet underneath me. My eyebrows furrowed together in confusion as I pulled the blanket off of me. My breath hitched in my throat as my eyes took in a deep red puddle surrounding me and soaking the sheet under me.~"Arya what is happening to me?"~I asked her in our shared mind as I stared at the red blood puddle.~"We fully lost the pup, I'm sorry"~She said with a sad sigh. I frowned as I took in what she said to understand it. I felt wetness roll down my cheeks from my eyes and realized I was crying. Armand walked in the door just as I stood up. His eyes widened when he took the sight of the bed."I...I'm sorry..I...I didn't mean to"I said a
Broken Artemis Doc P.O.V.
The day I met the new Luna was a strange one. I had found out who my mate was and I wasn't happy. I had seen him on the way to work, but I ignored him. The problem with trying to ignore him was that he is a coworker of mine. When Valerian rushed into the emergency room calling for me I ran there as quickly as I could. I had seen my mate walking towards me and I internally panicked for a moment. My wolf whimpered in our shared mind because he wanted his mate, but at the same time he knew what our mate had done to me. I was quick to get into my work and was happy to be able to spend most of my time working on the Luna. I was horrified by the amount of abuse she must have gone through and I wondered how long she suffered for.There were so many scars and what looked like years of sexual abuse as well. I knew she had to be young, but I was surprised that she was pregnant. We did the surgeries she required and I was glad to see her making progress. When she loo

I woke up engulfed in Armand's scent. The pain I had felt seemed to be almost gone. When I tried to move an arm tightened around me and I smiled. I knew it was Armand since his scent was the only other one in the room. I rolled so that I was facing him and felt him move."Good morning, Love"He murmured out groggily. I stretched before moving to place my head on his chest."Sorry if I woke you up"I said softly after I got comfortable. His arm rewound around my side and waist so he could hold me tight against him. I felt his lips press against my forehead before he spoke again."It'sall right, Love, how are you feeling?"He asked me softly. I inhaled his scent and nuzzled my face against his chest before answering his question

I heard the pack members that were fighting, but I was surprised that Artemis heard the door slamming. It had come from two floors down so I thought it was faint. It only registered to me that she heard it when she jumped and the coffee went flying. When Doc was here to help treat her burns he explained that it was probably due to the trauma she had experienced. He gave me a burn ointment and told me she would be fine by tomorrow since the burns were superficial. I was still concerned for her because she seemed to be zoned out the whole time. Arya was explaining to Tafari and I that she was waiting for Alpha Nate to show up and beat her. To say I was shocked was an understatement. "Artemis, Love, no one will hurt you here" I tried to console her as I placed my hand on her cheek. She didn't respond to what I was telling her. I let out an inward growl as my anger towards Alpha Nate returned. I w
Broken Artemis Artemis P.O.V.
I wasn't shocked when Valerian told the room he was the next king to the fox shifters. I had seen as much in the hospital room. I was heartbroken that he lost his family, but was glad that he was still alive. I had seen what he had been through in his life and it was mostly good so far, but there were some dark things. "I wonder what your high school bully would say to that?" I mused out loud. Everyone turned their attention towards me with arched eyebrows. I smiled at them before Valerian spoke up. "So you saw that too, huh?" He asked after a few moments of silence. I nodded at him before deciding to elaborate with my voice. "I saw all of your past. I am so sorry you lost your fox shifter parents, but t
