Artemis Gifts 소설 & 이야기

Perhaps she had a shield about her mind, like my mother. But, I knew it was unlikely, as humans were quite ordinary and nothing special about them. “Sheesh, Julie,” Artemisia said, “You don't need to yell because we are in front of you.” My thoughts exactly, I mused, smiling. “Well, I will see you later,” Artemisia said, standing on tiptoes. She kissed both cheeks, then my lips. “I thought you weren't interested in kissing me from the beginning?” I goaded, whilst recalling what she had said back at the cathedral.

"We have Arthene! Wasn't she the one who purified the water sources back then? "Call Arthene here! Tell her to purify them, now!" Moments later, Arthene—wearing the Luna's Crown—stepped forward, admired by those surrounding her. As she looked around at the devastation, she inwardly rejoiced. As if she knew anything about purification! Just as I had anticipated, she was a spy sent to destroy the pack. "Arthene!" Ares rushed over and grasped her hand. "Hurry, save the pack! Help me! Just like you did before, drive the filth away!"

"She's been controlled long enough. We don't add to that." "Agreed." Two days later, Thea emerged from her workroom. Exhausted but triumphant. "It's done. Collar's off." I found Mira in the guest quarters. She stood at the window. Hand touching her bare neck. The skin underneath was scarred. Raw. But healing. "How does it feel?" "Strange. Light." Her voice was wonder. "My gift isn't being forced anymore. It's mine again." "That's how it should be. Your gift. Your choice."

Cherry sat down besides her Madeleine, while Madeleine took a seat beside Adeline. "You girls did great!" Adeline said to both of them. "Yeah, I know. Cherry can't stop boasting about it." Madeleine said laughing as she gave Cherry a nudge at her shoulder playfully. "I told you I could do it!" Cherry argued. "Great." Adeline replied with a light smile. "Did you guys enjoy your performance?" "We sure did." Madeleine said nodding. "Yeah...it was great." Cherry added agreeing with Madeleine. A few moments later, the last auction began. The item was an art piece called 'Naked Truth.' It depicted a painting of a forest and a young woman made of flowers, stretching forth her hand towards a man who

"What's truly a shame is that such a wonderful man ended up with such a terrible wife. If you ask me, Edwin belongs with Esme. They're the perfect match." Esme blushed, nudging Mom shyly before sneaking a glance at Edwin. He lowered his head and sipped his wine. He neither refuted nor agreed. But his answer came during the gift exchange. He presented Esme with a ruby necklace. It wasn't just any necklace. It was his late mother's heirloom. He had told me about it, promising that he would personally place it around my neck on our fifth wedding anniversary. Now, he was placing it around Esme's neck. I watched without a trace of emotion, my heart completely hollow.

"I'm not feeling any emotion heights with your words...uhm...Yulia. Are you here to kidnap me?" "No. I'm simply paying you a visit." "Really? Am I that pitiful?" "No. You really just beguile my interest. I'm glad I came." He approached her. He took her hand to put a small, silver box with a glittery ribbon on top. "Happy birthday, Tamara Kromatova. Accept my gift to you. May you dream of me until I see you again."

Arthit immediately dialed his brother's numbers and talked to them on a conference call. ~• At K&K Corporation:- Aarya, Ariv, and Arin were all discussing an important matter. Suddenly they got Arthit's call. Aarya: "What's wrong ?" Arthit: "Did Silly Girl gifted you something?" Arin: "Yes" Arthit: "What is it?" Ariv (grinning): "Same like yours. Nothing less and more" Arthit: "Tell me exactly what she gifted you all?"

Kai and I start to move in her direction to get everyone out of her space when Jason speaks up and tells everyone to step back. I watch as she reads my card. Again, I see Artemis push forward, wanting to be part of this, even though today is more specifically for Cara. I’m not a poet, but I am speaking from my heart every day and so far, it seems to be working. I watch as she pulls out the items in her gift basket, smelling them, smiling over them, passing them to Lacey so she can smell them too. Kai and I relax, knowing that our plan is working. She is accepting our gifts every day. She is accepting us.

Just as she finished adjusting the earrings, Ares entered the hall with a gentle presence. He was carrying a medium-sized steel box, which contained artisan brownies, along with a luxury chocolate box filled with whiskey-infused truffles. Both were wrapped in glittery paper, the bows neatly tied, just as Iris liked to wrap gifts herself. The sparkle of the paper caught the light, making the gift look almost magical. Iris’s eyes widened in delight as she reached out eagerly to take them from Ares. Her excitement bubbled over, and she couldn’t help but smile.

Phoebe asked softly, her glimmering blue orbs brewing with sadness, ready to drip down her soft baby cheeks. "Darling you weren't bad at all! Mummy just has an... important job very far away. But I will always be here for you my beautiful little girl." Artemis heartbrokenly explained, moving to encase her mortal daughter in love, after reading her hurricane of thoughts. "Will you come back to my daddy now? He weally misses you." Phoebe pouts, still gloomy. "I'm afraid I cannot, my child. But I will visit you in your dreams, just like I have all your life. And you shall know when I visit you, as your necklace will glow with power from the moon." Artemis explains, caressing her human carbon co
