Allie turned her sketchbook to a blank page and began to draw again—this time, two hands reaching for each other. --- Artemis He awoke to the smell of her perfume and the soft rustle of sketch paper. No nightmares. No mission briefing. Just morning. For someone who once ruled through shadows and blood, Artemis Valen was stunned by how much peace suited him. He rose, walked over, and wrapped his arms around Allie from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “What are you drawing?” “Us,” she murmured. “Before the world got so loud.” “I like this version of us better,” he said softly. “Quieter. Real.”

The group thought they would get a break without a Guardian in the training. On my way from training to breakfast, I get another mind link, from Lacey this time. Cara is awake, feeling stronger and had a short conversation with Artemis. All of the attempted mate marks are gone. Artemis is still weak and fighting the venom, but it’s working and they are both getting stronger.

I frown again as I say, “The yin and yang of Pisces? What does that mean?” Artemis smiles amused at my questions as she replies, “You'll understand when you wake up. Now go, go back to your body, since Aika is desperate not knowing where you are. And don't even think about your mates! Up to this point I perceive their anguish.” After her words, Artemis blows, and I watch as everything around me dissolves. “Girl! Where were you? By the triad, I swear I thought you were back in Artemis' realm again. Don't scare me like that! I'm too young to die of fright,” says Aika.

It was a wintry touch, something that couldn't heat up even within the heart of the fire. "I don't consider myself her, even though the 'me' I believe I can be, is nothing more than the body of a dead child that I managed to grow up to." Artemisia said as she nestled a little in that touch, but soon she realized that she was still angry at the demon and that his charms were incredibly good. Or maybe Artemisia was just pretty dumb. "By the way, I'm the one asking questions here." "Hellebore wasn't like you..." The demon whispered low enough to be identical to the whistle of the winds.

Scorpio shrieked as the light burned through his armor. The world vanished in brilliance. When the light faded, the desert was silent. Glass cracked underfoot. Leo and Scorpio lay shattered, their forms dissolving into scorched sand. Pelin exhaled and leaned into me. “Please tell me that worked.” I laughed weakly. “I think they fell for it.” Above us, Artemis clapped slowly, her smile sharp and delighted. “Oh, how beautiful,” she purred. “You never do fail to surprise me.” I tightened my grip on Pelin’s hand.

Thousands of creatures lived in the mage dimension, others more populous than the next. Artemis could be a rare creature from the sea. I wanted her out of my head. Her hair stuck in my mind like her baked blueberry scent. Her hair had tiny loose curls, it was so dark it almost looked blue. She held power I couldn’t let Hera possess. I couldn’t allow myself to get sloppy and let her fall into my bed either. Things got messy when sex coupled with obligation.

Brrrr, I wish before I left, I had grabbed a cardigan. We slowly get closer to the door when I feel Artemis getting anxious, fidgety, and unsettled. -"Naomi, He is here! I can feel it." - She says through our link. -"Who's here?" -"Our mate! He is here". Artemis states. -"OMGoddess! He is here!"

I knew he needed to be alone so he could get his bearings in order, but now he seemed to be missing. “OH MY GODDESS!!!!” Artemis screams through the phone and I quickly remove it from my ear before she breaks my eardrum. “Shit! I am happy for you, and I can’t wait to meet my new sister, but Owen must be completely beside himself. I can’t imagine seeing my mate on another person!
