“No, dad.” Artemis denied it again.“It’s your birthday after three days, and you want to spend your birthday away from family?” Artemis’s Dad asked again.“Yes, Dad. I have decided, and my decision is final. I will be spending my birthday here this year.” Artemis said in determination.“With the girl about whom Gaby informed us?”“Yes, and Dad, she is my second chance, mate. She…”“Rubbish!” Artemis’s Dad growled at his son. “If you have forgotten, then we had decided to visit New York in search of Caro, the girl that will be fit for you.”“Not that ‘CARO’ again, dad. I have been hearing about her from the moment I turned ten. And expect from her look and her name, you know nothing about her.”“I do. I know that she is the daughter of your mother’s best friend, and they had promised to get their kids married when they were young.” Lorenzo, Artemis’s father, said, shutting Artemis’s mouth. Lorenzo knew that Artemis could never go against his mother’s word if she would say something st
Bolt smiled at her words and kissed her again while his hand travel ran under her top while feeling more of his touch. As usual, a wave of a spark flowed all over her body. Her excitement and the idea of having more pleasure were making her feel a tingling sensation down there.She gasped when she felt her bra getting opened under her top. She started getting nervous, thinking about what would be coming next, until Bolt deepened the kiss to distract her mind.But it didn’t help much, not after his bare hand cupped her bare breast. Her breath became uneven after all this; these things were new for her. She was feeling nervous, excited, and aroused at the same time.They broke a kiss when they were out of breath but returned back to kissing each other passionately. Her fingers hand into his hair, digging her nails into his scalp while his hands impatiently knead her soft breast, and her mountain trapped in between his fingers.After a while, when Bolt couldn’t control himself, he grabbe
Caroline was still having a hard time digesting everything that Artemis said. He was asking her to marry him in terms of humans and wanted to mark her in terms of werewolf law. To be honest, if he would have asked for a relationship, then she wouldn’t have minded, but who in a sane mind marries a stranger just after spending twelve days and after spending a couple of intimate moments?She clearly remembered that her mother had told her and her other sisters how she got trapped by a man in his love web. She assumed him as her life partner and the love of her life, but he was just using her and never had any intention to marry her.Thinking about all this, she left the bed to freshen up and wear fresh clothes. Once she returned back from the washroom, she found Artemis waiting for her, sitting on the edge of the bed.“Say something, Regina.” She heard Artemis’s desperate voice, who looked like he didn’t want to take NO as her answer. He reached near her wrapping his hand around her wais
Artemis didn’t know how Caroline was spending her days, but he was totally miserable without her. He waited for a day in Spain, moping around in the room in which Caroline stayed, looking at his phone all the time with the hope of Caroline calling him, but her call never came.He was having a hard time controlling his anger and his irritation by the end of the day. He wanted to hunt his mate down and bring her back, but he had to control himself.He called his assistant, Kane, and asked him to send his private jet because he was returning back to Italy, chanting the line that Caroline told him, ‘if you need someone, then fate won’t let you lose him/her. Fate will bring him/her back. It may not be soon, but he/she will come back.’‘You can’t find or reach near me not until I want to. On the top, Artemis, you can’t walk on the path of marriage alone. You have to give me space to walk me too.’‘If you want me to give you some space so that you can walk, and I’m sure you can reach near me
Caroline didn’t waste a single second and kissed him back with the same passion. She couldn’t tell him how much she missed him at that time, but she wanted to express that she missed him more than anything in the world. She was also happy that she wasn’t the only one who was in this situation.Observing Artemis’s situation, she could tell that his situation was no different than hers. After a while, they broke the kiss to grab some air. Caroline was about to say something, but her lips were attacked again, and unlike the first time, Artemis was not being gentle and sweet.She realized that it was the other half of her mate. She was slammed against the wall in the next moment, and Bolt kissed her senselessly.“Mmmm…” She moaned when he nibbed her lips. He kept kissing her until her lips were swollen and numb.If it would have been in his hand, then he would have made love to her then and there, but he was positive that it would be the last thing that his mate wanted to have at that mom
“One Month.” Artemis set the target.“Just one month?”“Yes. I trust myself. I can win your heart by then. Also, I believe that it won’t be a great idea to hide about us from your family, and I have to make sure that you will be able to answer the question of your dad in case he asks you.”“Which question?”“That ‘do you love him, Princess?’” Artemis asked in a serious tone on which Caroline laughed. Yes, he was right about that question. “And I don’t think lying to your parents about something this important will be fair. And I don’t think any father will let his daughter stay with a person whom she doesn’t love.” He added, thinking of himself at Caroline’s father’s place. Little did he know that his words had already started doing the work. Seeing how Artemis was thinking of winning her father’s heart meant a lot to Caroline.“You told me that I’m taking risks, but the truth is that you’re also taking risks.” Artemis continued. “For example, first planning to get married at the age
“Where are we going?” Caroline asked when she saw a black slip dress on the bed with matching black jewelry and heels, walking out of the washroom.“You will wear this?” Artemis asked because until now, he had never seen Caroline in a dress. Still, he went early in the morning and asked one of the store managers to open the store early morning so that he could get some clothes for his mate.Whatever clothes Caroline had been wearing were on repeat mode now. So, he thought to get a couple of new clothes for this special day and then placed a dress for Caroline on the bed and waited to see her expression.“Of course, I will. Black is my favorite. Also, It’s not that I don’t wear dresses. It's just I prefer jeans and trousers compared to dresses.” Caroline replied, picking the dress in her hand. “I always wear dresses or gowns while attending any parties.”“So, where are we going?”“The heaven of Italy.” Artemis winked.“Okkaayy.” Caroline nodded and didn’t ask him to elaborate on his an
“Impressive,” Caroline commented when she finally realized what Artemis’s plan was. At first, they traveled from Rome to Venice, one of the most beautiful places in the human world. And then he bought a water taxi to enjoy their time together and also to explore the whole city.“I’m glad that you’re impressed by my idea. Now, come on!” Artemis said and climbed in the water taxi first and then forwarded his hand toward Caroline like a true gentleman. She blushed before holding his hand and climbing in.“Ahem, Ahem!! Mr. Gosling.”Artemis groaned at the voice of his bodyguard, who didn’t leave his side at any cost. If not for Caroline, he would have ditched him a long ago, but she asked him to let him join them.“I can take a picture of you both.” Aiden offered, knowing very well how Alpha heir hated his presence, but he was doing his duty, and the fact that a witch was with him was not a good sign.“That will be amazing,” Caroline said and gave a pose with Artemis, signaling him to smil
