** 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
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
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
SEXUAL CONTENT AHEADI was shocked that Artemis told me we could mate. I didn't want to hurt her so I made sure she really wanted it. I smiled when she gasped and moaned as I kissed her neck. I could smell her arousal at my kisses once I kissed the spot to mark her at. She moaned louder and I smiled against her skin. My hands trailed down her sides as I suckled on the marking spot. She continued to moan and I continued to suck on it. My hands slid under her shirt and gently massaged her round, perky breasts. I loved the feel of her soft skin against my hands.She moaned as I massaged her breasts while sucking on the marking spot. I continued what I was doing for a few moments longer before sliding one hand down her stomach slowly. I slipped my hand into the waistband of her sweatpants and into the panties she somehow had on. She had stopped bleeding hours ago so I wasn't worrie
I woke to the sound of birds chirping and the sun shinning in my face. I rolled over and blinked before smiling. Armand was still laying next to me with messy hair. He wore a smile on his lips in his sleep and the light shone around him like a halo. ~"He is so beautiful"~ Arya said in our shared mind. I agreed with her inwardly and smiled again outwardly. I lifted my arm and gently ran my hand down his cheek. His eyes blinked open and locked onto mine. He smiled sleepily at me as he placed a kiss upon my hand. "Good morning, Love, How do you feel?" He asked me after he yawned. I smiled and scooted a little closer to him. "I feel good" I told him honestly. I thought I would be in pain like when Alpha had done what he did before, but I wasn't. My body wasn't in any pain, but instead felt like I was in bliss. I had never been happier than I was right now. I wanted to wake up like this every morning because it was peaceful. Armand smiled at me again and caressed my cheek with his ha
The weeks seemed to pass by quickly and before I knew it we were sitting in Doc's office with Valerian and Jax. Valerian had a very obvious baby bump. Doc had done a check up and was pleased with the twins progress. Valerian was just hitting the 2 month mark and they were finding out the genders today. Doc sat us in the chairs in front of his desk. "Your pups are growing wonderfully. You could have them in the next few weeks to month and a half" He said as he took his chair across from us. I had a surprise for Armand and Valerian had agreed to let me do it during this appointment. I was nervous that Armand wouldn't like the surprise, but I was pretty sure that he would. Armand had me sitting in his lap with his arms wrapped around me. I wore a smile on my face as Doc continued to speak. "Before I tell you all the genders I need to tell you something else" Doc said in a serious voice causing Armand and Jax to be on alert. I bit my lower lip so I wouldn't giggle and looked over at V
