“I’m going to take what you say into consideration.” I finally accepted Kade’s offer to help me.Even now, he cannot grasp what is going on with me; we have just arrived at this enormous palace perched atop his back. He lives by himself because his mother is too old to take care of him, and she currently holds the title of Luna. However, he has already informed me that she will soon give up the title, and he will become an Alpha, at which point he will require the services of a Luna.“I know,” He replied. “I know what you feel right now, Artemis. You were hurt—”“He deprived me of my virginity,” I mumbled, and his sentence was abruptly cut off. He looked at me, his eyes flickered, and he took a deep breath. I’m not sure if I should have said that, but I’m feeling too relaxed to care much about it now that he's lost for words.My eyes slowly begin to well up with a single tear.“We were drunk, and I understand that he will never do that with me if he’s with my sister, Hermione, but it’

Blake’s point of view . . .If I can’t dance with Hermione, I’ll make a solemn promise to myself that I’ll stay at home instead of going out—with the music playing, there was no other woman save her whom I wanted to touch my hand but her, and be only her.As I made my way to the throne that belonged to my father. Gael and Ajax, his beta and head gamma, greeted me with their bow—after that, father gave them a sign to leave, and I took a few more steps toward him to communicate.“I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to attend the forthcoming ball with Artemis,” I was the one who informed him first. He laughed in disbelief, but I pretended that it didn’t bother me and pretended that he was the unhappy one, and I didn’t care.“What is the name of everything holy are you talking about?” He spoke softly. I can immediately make out the fury written all over his face.I chuckled. “I told her that it’s possible I won’t be able to dance with her.” I echoed what I had just said. I don’t even feel terr

“Man, you can’t just determine whatever is going on; it doesn’t matter what it is—”“If you don’t want to destroy this ball event right now, stop doing that. You are well aware that I will put an end to you, darn it.” Blake fretted, and I stared at Kade. I am well aware that once he does that, they will point the finger at me. I don’t want people to realize that I’m Artemis. “Please, Kade,” I pleaded with him to leave. He chuckles and takes a long breath before walking away, and just as he leaves, Blake shoves me aside. My eyes welled with tears as I thought about why he would oppress me.“Take off that dress right now. Can you change?” He whispered. I heaved a breath and pondered. “Why? This is how you are supposed to dance with Hermione—”He responded. “I can’t take you watching kissing with another man, and it makes me mad because I thought the love of my life was the one who did it with another man. It makes me mad. That clothing was a gift for Hermione from me.” His voice causes

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

“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
