SIN
We were in the Blood Moon pack but no one had noticed anything. I sensed Laurent and the others not far from where Artemisia and I were hiding.
'Wait for my call.' I sent a mind link and received a chorus reply in return.
I heaved a breath and stared at Artemisia at my side. She fiddled with the chain she donned and attempted a smile on her face.
She was frightened. I felt it, even from her sweaty palms and the way her eyes flitted around.
She was freaking nervous. I wished I could pick her up and take her back home.
But then, it needed to be done.
I took her clammy palms in mine and tucked a strand of her hair beneath her ears.
I was relieved she didn't slap my hand away.
"You'll be fine," I said, staring into her eyes. "Everyone would be…"
"How about you?" She asked, cutting me off.
"Don't worry about me." I chuckled. "I don't mind dying for you."
She glared at me and her fingers came to flick my temple.
"What was that for?"
'We are in the enemy zone and all you can do is act mushy with your wife?!' Laurent tutted through the mind link.
"Shut up, Laurent," I mumbled underneath my breath and disconnected the link before turning to Artemisia.
"Don't say that," Artemisia responded.
"Why not?" I asked. "At least that will make you happy. And you won't have to see my face again."
As I proceeded to stand, Artemisia clutched my hand.
"Wait," she muttered. "I didn't forgive you yet doesn't mean I won't."
"And stop saying that, it makes me want to lock you down in the basement and punish you until you can't walk anymore…"
"Kinky, I never knew you were into something like that." I chuckled. "But then, I'd love to be the one doing that to you."
"Sin…" A blush appeared on her cheeks and she scowled at me. "You are impossible."
"You made me into that, darling. The silly Sin, the good Sin and the bad Sin. I can be all for you." My hand cupped her face.
I didn't know what I was doing. But I felt compelled to do so and it was heartwarming to know she'd forgive me soon.
A weight was lifted off my chest and I watched as she suckled on my thumb.
"Shit, that's hot!" I grunted and proceeded to grip her but she swatted my hand away.
"I just want you to be Sin. And we are in the enemy area," She reminded me as my hand began to go down.
"Sure, we are," I grumbled, slightly disappointed.
I didn't know how long we were in hiding but when my wolf, Ager, growled, I sent a mind link to everyone and we rushed out.
I mean the werewolves, leaving the witches behind to do their thing.
I rammed into a guard as he attempted to dart into the large building. I yanked him backwards and shoved my hand into his heart, pulling it out.
I grimaced, staring at the blood dripping from my hand before running into the hall.
I heard the warning bells sounding but I ignored them whilst gazing at the people before me.
Dozens of werewolves were in the hall and I bared my teeth at them.
I noticed some had transformed whilst the others were in their human form.
"I just need to take them out without thinking…" I said to myself.
I glimpsed the fear in their eyes. That was what I never did. Even if I was intimidated by an opponent, I never showed my fear as it could lead to my defeat.
I hadn't taken a step from where I was but they were already frightened of me. I believe they should be as I was dangerous when I wanted to be.
The werewolves staggered backwards as I stepped toward them.
And one who seemed like he was the leader of the guards yelled, "What are you waiting for? He's the only one here!"
"I guess you are mistaken."
I swirled and my eyes collided with Laurent's. He darted forwards and grasped one of the werewolves without thinking.
He plucked out the heart and decapitated his head with a dagger with him.
"I am known as the wicked, Stone." He said, his eyes flashing golden.
I remembered the nickname. And it was given by Allison until everyone in the pack called him that but not in his presence.
Wicked Stone was one of the many nicknames Laurent had.
Whilst in grade 7, Laurent had done his usual taunting and had gone on to Alisson who was playing with her doll.
He gripped the doll and gave it several spankings, battering the body. And then he acted innocent when she asked him
Again, I believe it was what he often does to me, trying to compete with me at all times that made Alisson give him that name as well.
"What are you waiting for brother?" Laurent snapped me out of my thoughts.
I didn't know hearing brother from him could sound so endearing knowing the kind of person he was.
I pushed aside the thought and hurried to him.
"Let's take these fools out." Laurent asserted.
"I'll join in as well."
I heaved a breath as Alisson burst out through the door. She was with Mila and the rest of the pack.
Perhaps, they had defeated everyone outside.
The smile on my face disappeared as I searched for Artemisia.
"Where is she?" I asked.
Panic surged through me and I attempted to step away from the circle surrounding Laurent and me but he gripped me.
"Where the fuck is Artemisia!" I roared.
"I am here." She said and immediately, I calmed.
