I was agitated when Blake said those things, but I had no choice but to act as if nothing had occurred, and I chose to leave the pack’s territorial gate because Kade had arrived.The moment he caught a glimpse of me in his peripheral vision, a brilliant light appeared in his eyes. I’m not experiencing anything, but I’m aware that my wolf is trying to keep me away from any men who may be nearby.“Why are you even in this place?” I asked my question in a tone that suggested I was a bad influence because I wanted to make him afraid of me so that he would back off of me and stop bothering me, and he laughed at my antics.“To receive a hi from you.” He responded. “Hello, Artemis . . .” I muttered, and all I did was stare at him with no expression. Then I took a deep breath, grabbed his hand, and pushed him through the car so we could escape from other people.“I don’t want people to create an issue about me as if I’m hanging out with someone else when I already have a mate, Kade. I don’t
I felt disappointed and kept thinking about my issues even after I commanded Kade to take me to the club. I always hoped that I could get rid of this agony and live a satisfying life, but I couldn’t do either of those things.I tried to dance with the other people there, but I just couldn’t. It came as a bit of a surprise to me when I saw Calvin, a friend of Blake’s, dancing with a large number of girls as well. I looked at the clock and saw that it was already seven o’clock in the evening.I went up to him and offered him a drink before approaching.He stops dancing and turns his attention to me while giving me a sly grin. “Hermione?—I mean, Artemis?” He questioned while laughing to himself—even though I’m sure he finds what I’m doing humorous right now, I’m not even going to bother giving him a response.“Artemis, I am aware of your current poor situation, and I know that you went there for recreational purposes. But don’t you see how Blake gave up going to the clubs because of He
“W-What exactly are you up to?”I stammered when he drew closer to mine, and he finally stuck his lips into mine. It wasn’t the first time and he will do this to me. “You’re my mate, Artemis,”“You worked for no one but me.” He told me. “You can’t mate with another man because you’re too weak and have the lowest point,” he added, and tears began to roll down from my eyes as his kisses with me made a sound of breakdown, and I didn’t even flinch while I was kissing him. He was going to unbutton my shirt, but I pushed him away even though this was what I needed to make my wolves feel better, but I didn’t do it at this time.”Blake, I don’t want to engage in this activity with you. You think I wasn’t able to control myself, but—”“Well, it’s obvious to me that you're not..” He spoke with assurance, and he appeared to be confident with the solution that he offered; nonetheless, I did not move, and I did not understand why I was confused.He chuckles.“You can give whatever justifications
“Artemis . . .” Kade mumbled as he drove the automobile despite having several wounds on him. Indeed, I do not comprehend what is going on at this moment in time. He isn’t troubled enough to care about things like this, even though he doesn’t deserve them.“You shouldn't have struck him,” I informed him without looking at his face because my eyes were fixated on the road. He pretended to be choking on something, and I imagine it struck him as odd.“Artemis, all I want is to keep you safe,” he replied.“You were not responsible for that, Kade,” I interrupted him, and I only just understood that I could be with him despite all the costs because he believed he could protect me.I have no intention of making use of him.Because he was born to be a powerful Alpha with an attraction for me, I don’t want to treat him like a barrier in my life. “Oh, all I wanted to do was do it—”“It is essential that you do not engage in activities behind my back. I feel like I’m going to die right now.” I
The Viewpoint of BlakeI arrived at the pack house feeling hung over from the previous night, and there was already my father standing up in front of me. I bit the lower part of my lips because I didn’t understand why he was looking at me with an evil stare.“Good morning,” I was able to say, although I don’t give a fuck about his feelings or his mornings. “You’re still able to make it home,” It stopped me from climbing the steps, and I turned around to look at him with an inquisitive expression on my face.“You let Artemis go home alone.” He said, and although it makes me sick to hear her name again, I was interested in learning what was taking place with her. My curiosity is piqued because it leads me to question what she was doing with the man he chose to go with.I chuckle. “I didn’t. I don’t even hang out with her—”“Stop being a liar, you scoundrel!” He shouted, and his growl spread in the pack, and I managed to have a poker face while looking at him. I can already see how mad
People’s eyes are kind of bad on me because Kade has decided to take me on as a member of his pack. I don’t feel comfortable because they seemed aggressive and don’t like strangers in their place, but they understand because I am with the future Alpha.“Kade, this environment does not agree with me at all,” I hushed him, and he paused in his walking to look in my direction before continuing.“There’s no need for you too. . .” He utters. “Is it due to the presence of people? They are simply stunned. I have never been seen in this place with a female companion.” He said, and it causes my human heart to race, and I thank you for that.I was surprised to find out that I would be his very first.After that, I concluded that I don’t value him and that I must discontinue engaging in these behaviors with him.After what seemed like an eternity, I finally worked up the courage to enter the pack house, where I’m greeted by an older lady holding a glass of wine in her hand. Her gaze shifts to us
“That is the funniest thing ever, Blake! I have no idea what’s going on!” I yelled.“Hermione, I was concerned about you. . .” I mumbled. Although she blamed me for everything and made up such a story, I was still able to become concerned about her.She showed a knowing smirk. “Do you seriously suppose that I will fall for your deception, Artemis!? You are acting this way solely because you are envious of me,” she screamed, and now I’m sitting here with no clue as to the meaning of the gibberish that came out of her mouth.I brushed my hair and felt my rage.“Hermione, you are making up stories, and they aren’t even true! I already told you that I am not an expert in every subject—”Blake abruptly ran at me and howled, I was forced to cut off my previous sentence — He looked at me—his eyes were turning red, and he reached out and grabbed my shoulder. His eyes seemed to want to say something, but I was too stunned to respond.It’s as though someone injected my heart.“Take your hand off
“Blake, you didn’t even attempt to shield her from harm. You are aware of what you have done—”Blake let out a loud howl, grabbed the collar of his sleeve, and transformed his face into that of a wolf while he was facing Kade. This caused Kade to be cut off in the middle of what he was going to say. My heart was beating faster than it ever had before, and despite my best efforts, I was unable to prevent them from pushing one of them.Kade also begins to trigger the fact that he growled at Blake and confronted him in an attempt to frighten him. But, they are both much more powerful than I am, and all I am is a feeble observer.The warriors are simply looking on, and it appears that they find it to be an intimidating face.Individuals are also pulling away from one another and appearing to be overly calm. I believe that at this time I am the only one who is experiencing a great deal of fear.“Don’t do that!” I commanded them to separate from one other and tried to pull them apart, but Bl
