smirks Aidan. We talked, ate, drank, and joked around. It felt nice, normal. At one point a few of her friends joined us and the jokes wouldn’t stop flowing. I looked her way and realized that this is what I want my life to be, with Art by my side. No matter what happens, I will fight for her. I’m never giving up. ARTEMIS POV

My back arched as I hit the ground, rolling almost immediately when her leg came forth, ready to stomp me till I couldn’t breathe anymore. “Do you know who I am?” She growled. “I am the only Lady Executioner, the talented and the only one worthy of having Alpha Ryu by my side. You’re not allowed. Keep your hands off of him or face my wrath!” I stood looking at her rapid breathing. She was so powerful her heart couldn’t contain the flow of blood pumping. She had to move with a special material that kept her heart stable, for she would also be a weak Omega if not for her wolf, Bambi the executioner.

"I'm just saying, maybe you should give her a chance. She might surprise you." I scoffed. "I doubt it. She's already made it clear she doesn't want to be here or be my mate. I am just going to tolerate her for as long as I find a way out of this stupid alignment." Damien spoke up, his voice calm and thoughtful. "Sage, perhaps you should consider why she's resisting so hard. There might be more to it than just stubbornness." He teased earning a glare from me. I know what they were trying to do and it isn’t going to work.

Forsaking the ability to be a man would be far easier. Ashrac's newest toy is a drone used by the earth realm's U.S. military, or so he tells me. It doesn't work, but Ashrac broke it down and rebuilt it so he knows everything it can do. Acasia explained over tea that Dmitri, an earth realm vampire and friend, is creating documentation so Ashrac can attend one of earth's scientific colleges in about twenty-five years. It will be good for him.

“Doesn’t that always happen if you don’t catch them? Their scent starts to fade as they get further away until you don’t have it any longer?” Bree, my Gamma, is another life-long friend, whose father was, you guessed it, my father’s Gamma. Born only a few weeks behind me, Bree’s parents decided to follow in my parents’ footsteps and declare that as the eldest Bree, she would be the Gamma heir. Granted, once I became Alpha, I could have named whomever I wanted to the ranked positions, but it’s tradition for those to be inherited positions just like an Alpha. Fortunately, much like Cayden, Bree and I have always been friends and being in a similar position herself (she’s one of the only female

She had vanished as completely as morning mist. ‘MATE,’ Aeson projected, the word tinged with frustration and longing. ‘Where—‘ The thought cut short as something solid collided with my side—a white blur moving so fast I had no time to brace. The impact wasn't painful, but it was forceful enough to unbalance me, sending me stumbling sideways in surprise. Artemis landed lightly a few feet away, her posture playful, tail waving in clear delight at having successfully ambushed me. Her yellow-green eyes sparkled with mischief, her mouth open in what could only be described as a wolfish grin.

Or worse, what if he wasn’t and Liam showed up again? When I walked into the cafeteria, I wasn’t sure if I was relieved or hurt that no one was waiting for me. Artemis piped up in my head, ‘If Liam scared him off, he wasn’t worthy of us anyway.’ In some ways, I don’t disagree. Artemis is a very powerful wolf and needs a powerful wolf for a mate, but I also know that Liam is a strong and powerful Alpha. He intimidates almost everyone. ‘Almost being the operative word,’ she retorts.

A few seconds ago, I had imagined myself dying and Laurent taking over everything, but now she was here, beside me. I guess that was the only hope I needed to survive whatever we might face in this room. “And oh, his lovely Luna.” He laughed. “We just want the f**king moon.” Artemisia began. “And we'll be out of your hair.” “You bitch!” The little girl said as soon as she regained herself. “How dare you attack me?!” “You literally were about to attack my mate,” Artemisia said. I let a small smile play on my lips before turning to Artemisia.

“Would either of you mind telling me where I am?” “Dark Moon pack territory, in Mercius.” Lucas answered. “Mercius? I’ve never heard of it. How far away from Zodia are we?” “Zodia?” Selene snorted. “Lucas, I think he’s knocked the sense out of himself or something, nothing he says makes any sense.” I was beginning to become irritated at the lack of useful information from the pair. The more my irritation rose, the worse the itching in my gums became. I was curious about the girl that was my mate, but more then anything I wanted to find the way home.
