Chapter 3: Very much, SINGLE.

A minute later, Artemis broke the kiss and looked at his mate in his arm and then at Gaby, who looked like she would kill his mate at any moment. He was glad that she was a human, or she would have lunged on his mate for sure until now.

And the second best thing about this nightclub was that it belonged to a werewolf, so he made sure to build this place with the help of magic so that no werewolves or any creature couldn’t use his or her hearing powers to listen to someone else conversation or anyone’s whisper.

“Can you dance?” He whispered in Caroline’s ear when he kissed her right ear. Caroline’s knees went weak when he did so. She couldn’t help but wonder.

‘Where does he do for a living? Acting?’

“Hmm”

Hearing it, Artemis wasted no time and brought her to the dance floor. Caroline felt someone throwing tons of daggers at her head with her eyes, and to piss her a little more, she rested her head on Artemis’s chest, wrapping her hand around his frame, moving her body to the beat of the music.

After a while, she lifted her head and looked up at Artemis, who was looking at her. “I hope you’re not married.” She spoke the very first thing that came to her mind.

Artemis smiled at her question. ‘So, she is that kind of woman who doesn’t throw herself at the taken man. Not bad.’

“No. I’m very much, SINGLE.” He replied, caressing the side of the cheek. He liked the way she was responding to his touch, which also told him that she wasn’t aware of the fact why she was feeling this spark on Artemis’s touch.

While Caroline made a mental note to ask about it with Colton.

“Then why is that girl throwing yourself at you shamelessly?” She questioned, feeling jealous. ‘Woah!! What is wrong with me? I’m feeling jealous of a guy whom I barely know.

“Ahh” Artemis smirked at that question and also sensed Caroline’s jealously. “Actually, I’m about to be thirty so, my parents along with my friends keep playing cupid so that I can finally settle down but don’t you think that it should be my decision with whom I should settle down and with whom I don’t?” he explained, getting irritated.

“Don’t be mad at your parents or friends. They just want your happiness. They just don’t want you to be left alone.” Caroline said before revealing, “One of my brothers is neither interested in girls nor in romance. That’s why we keep doing the same with him at some interval of time, you know.”

“But I’m sure you guys wouldn’t tag any girl with him on a vacation of fifteen days.”

“Of course not; he will stop talking to us in that case,” Caroline replied in horror, thinking of that circumstance. Colton didn’t want to spend half an hour with any girl on a date; tagging a girl with him for fifteen days meant waiting for Volcano to blast.

“My mom did that but shared my schedule and everything with her so that wherever I will go, she is tag along,” Artemis muttered. To be honest, he was thinking of leaving Madrid then and there, and thankfully, he didn’t.

Caroline didn’t comment anything on that part. “This is my story; what’s yours?” Artemis asked. “What’s your name?”

“Sarah” Caroline told her middle name to him because she was very well aware of the nature of rich people. They always checked the background, and she didn’t want to relieve her identity. Also, she knew that he was a werewolf, so he could sense her lie.

“Sarah…?” Artemis asked to know her last name so that he could do a background check on her because the reason he couldn’t smell her scent was making her mysterious. “Your last name?” he asked again when Caroline didn’t reply.

“I don’t want to share that with the person whom I barely know,” Caroline said truthfully. Artemis nodded his understanding manner.

‘At least she didn’t lie about her name, right?’ Bolt said, completely understanding the lack of trust that she had for him.

“I understand. By the way, how do you know my name?”

“Well, you can thank that woman for that,” Caroline replied. “And about that rich and famous thing. I didn’t know about that. I just threw that line seeing your Rolex watch that cost a fortune.” she added.

“Oh!” Artemis muttered and felt bad that she didn’t know anything about him because he was indeed famous and rich, but he couldn’t even say that Caroline was lying because he could smelt nothing but the truth. “I’m sorry for that kiss. I kissed you to make everyone believe that we are indeed together and also because I wanted to get rid of Gaby.

“So, you are sorry because you kissed me?” Caroline questioned.

“No. That would be a complete lie if I would say that I kissed you because I wanted to, but I’m sorry for not taking your permission to do so.” Artemis said and observed how Caroline’s cheek turned a shade darker. “I hope your boyfriend doesn’t come in search of me to kick my ass for kissing you out of nowhere.” He added and prayed inwardly for not some third wheel between them.

Immediately Caroline’s expression changed hearing it, “Don’t worry about that. I don’t have a boyfriend now.” She revealed, recalling Mark. “He recently broke up with me to marry my best friend, whom he has been dating for a year now.” She added.

“That’s why I left France and came here to change my mind and to take a break before starting anything fresh.” She added. She didn’t hide the fact that she was from France because her accent was telling it loud and clear.

Artemis didn’t say anything for a while, and neither did Caroline, but he was the first to break the silence. “I’m sorry, but his loss is my gain,” Artemis said, winking at her. “Didn’t I promise that from now onwards, I will never ever leave your side? And I’m all yours till eternity.”

Caroline smiled, shaking her head, “I think you took that drama too seriously.”

“No.” Artemis was quick to revert. “I just know how to keep promises. And I don’t make promises to break.”

Sensing the seriousness in Artemis's tone, Caroline almost forgot to breathe.
