“How are you feeling?” Cayden asks me, making me open my eyes to look at him. He is wearing his usual tailored suit and stands at the end of my bed with a worried frown. “I’m fine,” I say, making him shake his head. “Would you please not punish Fynn? He didn’t know and I provoked him as we were
Artemisia Blowing my cheeks, I tap my fingers on my blanket. It’s already past midnight, and the last nurse came in hours ago to apply my last cool compression for my head. I feel so human, and I hate it! I also finally understand how they always use to say that a doctor is the worst patient
“A doll.” He repeats with a scoff as he starts moving again. “I’m being serious, Fynn. You have been nothing but condescending to me. Why did you come and fetch me in the first place?” I ask him, regretting the question the moment I have uttered it. “What do you mean? You are my mate. I had to g
Artemisia The coziness of the bed he just cuddled me in, doesn‘t help at him staring at me in disbelief. “I’m sorry, what?” I chose the rip-it-off-in-one-go kind of way, and am now doubting my strategy as I actually have to go on. I bite my upper lip nervously as I move my feet under the bla
“Who the fuck knows about this?” He growls, making me jerk back. “Well, my family does. My pack and of course, Ri- Alpha Saviano.” I stutter out as he continues to glare at me. “So, I’m the only one who knows here.” His voice holds so much disgust that my chest tightens. Nodding, I get him to
Finnegan I nearly rip the door out of its frame as I open it with rage streaming through my veins. Taking a few steps, I only catch my breath as I hear the door close behind me. I nearly suffocate at the sadness and pain wafting through me, and I figure that they must be Artemisia’s emotions.
Artemisia “It’s okay, Matt. I just bumped my head, I didn’t lose a leg.” I chuckle as Matthew carries me to my room and cuddles me into the blankets of my bed. “I don’t care. You need to rest, love. I’m just following the doctor's instructions,” he says nonchalantly, as he rearranges my pillows.
I sigh deeply after she leaves my room, and close my eyes to get some sleep. But even if I’m drugged up to the eyeballs with painkillers and I’m feeling drained, I can’t seem to catch any sleep. My anxiety keeps growing even if I do my best to meditate myself into calmness. In the blink of an e
Emma “Be wary with everyone you encounter.” Corvina scurries around us as we load her red Beetle, and Kai groans as he stands in her way. He stops her from panicking by putting his hands on her arms and leaning in. “Aintín, we are big and strong. You don’t have to worry about us.” “And we won’t
Emma I don’t even remember how I got back into my bed. Kai got rid of his ripped shirt and helped me clean myself up. Maybe it was just a dream, but we had found a small pond where we could dip in and freshen up. By the time we were floating in the water, I would have guessed that they would alre
Emma It looks like Kai found what he was looking for, because he walks through a set of bushes. Kneeling, he puts me down gently, Ace following with a lost expression. “Go ahead,” Kai entices him, putting my head on his knees. “Spread your legs for him, babe.” My blush must be spreading to my br
Oh, fuck, yes! I start moaning loudly on purpose, wanting to incite him as Kai continues to fuck me gently, lifting me up and down on his cock. Ace’s fingers graze my hips carefully, causing hot sparks to dance on them. “Ah,” I jerk up, and he retreats his hands immediately. “No, wait,” I plead,
Emma I bite my bottom lip, my gaze jumping from him to the fire shining through the trees and back to him. “We can’t…” His grin grows, and he puts his hands onto my hips, letting them glide onto my back and down to my ass. I lose myself in his eyes as he locks his gaze with mine, my hands driving
Emma “This is ridiculous,” Kai mutters against his glass before taking a large gulp out of it. I sigh, tugging at my dress as I reposition myself. “But you wanted to attend the bonfire. Don’t you like it?” The crackling noises of the large fire accompany the witches' chants and laughter as they
Emma “See?” Corvina giggles as she turns around to me, Kai still looking at her as if he wanted to rip her head off. She looks back at Kai. “Are you okay?” He nods, but I get up to stand next to Corvina as something in his expression doesn’t convince me. And in fact, as soon as I have reached he
Emma “Nobody threatened me. Why would you think that? I entered a fucking contract. And I agreed to take a chosen mate. Do you realise what a pain it was to go through the candidates until I found someone that didn’t make my skin itch?” Goosebumps cover my skin, and I have to fight to actively cov
Oh, yes. The dreams are always the best, honestly. Taking the last few steps quicker, I chuckle to myself as my memory of the dream I had enhances my mood extremely. My heart flipping in my chest takes my breath away, and the next thing I notice is a mouth-watering scent reaching me. I stop in the
