Chapter 13
‘Finally,’ Artemis was beaming with happiness after knowing the full name of his mate. ‘Caroline Sarah Haysbert.’ He was trying to search for anyone with this name and with a picture of his mate over the internet, but surprisingly, he couldn’t find anyone.
‘And there I thought that once I will get to know about her, then I can find out everything about her.’ He mentally cursed at his stupidity.
“Artemis, take my pictures at this place too.” He heard his mate’s voice, who was giving a pose in front of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
“Sure, Regina.” He gave her a smile and took some pictures of her. She came running near him to check the pictures and smiled seeing her pictures. ‘Why are you still so mysterious, mate?’ He asked in his mind. He could see that Caroline was opening up with him in these seven days, so yes, he could say that he was making some progress, but his mate was still a mystery to him.
“Let’s take some pictures together.” She said, taking Artemis’s phone from his phone as if she had the right to do so. Not that he minded it. In fact, he was happy that she was indirectly showing her right on his things.
After they had taken some selfies, Caroline returned his phone to him and looked at Artemis, who was in deep thinking. “What’s wrong?”
“I can’t find you on any social media or anywhere else. What’s your user id?” He finally asked because he could enjoy his time with Caroline even after knowing her name.
“I’m not on social media. Neither I was ever before.” Caroline answered truthfully. “And I’m not some celebrity whom you can find on social media.” She joked, but she didn’t see Artemis laughing because he didn’t find it funny.
“You know how to act in front of a werewolf, don’t you?” he questioned, on which Caroline shut her mouth. “You’re telling me the truth, Sarah, but I can see that you’re not telling me the complete truth. And I can see that you don’t want to share about yourself with me,” he added, on which, Caroline looked away.
“I have my own reasons to do this. If you have any problem with it, then you can have your own way, and I will have mine.” Hearing it, Artemis’s fist tightened, and his jaw clenched. “All I know is that whatever I have told you can be half truth but wasn’t a lie.”
‘Just drop this topic, Artemis.’ Bolt said when he realized that any further question about her personal life could be the reason of END of their new relationship with his mate.
Artemis sighed and wrapped his arms around Caroline’s waist. “I don’t have any problem with it,” he muttered and kissed her forehead. Caroline hugged him, wrapping her arms around Artemis.
“I’m sorry. Please give me some time. I will answer all your question for sure.”
“I’ll wait, Regina. I will wait.” Artemis said unhappily, but at that moment, he didn’t have any other choice.
“By the way, I’m thinking of creating an account on social media. Will you help me choose what pictures I should post over here?” Caroline asked, and a smile appeared on his face.

By late night, they reached another city in Spain. Once Artemis entered his room after saying good night to his mate, who was staying in the room beside his, he couldn’t help but mind link his best friend, Raul, who was also the son of Beta of his pack.
“I can believe that it was an eighth of the tour, and you haven’t returned back,” Raul exclaimed in shock, knowing very well that his best friend couldn’t stay away from work for more than two days. On the top, he had closed his mind link so that no one could irritate him unnecessarily. In case of any emergency, they could call him on his phone. “For a while, I thought that you died, but then your phone was ON,” he added.
“Raul… I have work for you.”
“What work? I have already handled all your office work, and thankfully, there’s no problem, at least not yet.”
“RAUL.”
“Fine! I’m listening.”
“You have to get all the details of a girl name ‘Caroline Sarah Haysbert.’ She was a scholarship student in her college in Grenoble. And the other details are her father is a gamer developer, her mother is a… leave it. I don’t think that will be relevant for you. Just get me all the information about this, Sarah, as soon as possible.” Artemis said in one GO without giving any chance to his best friend to disturb him.
“Say something,” Artemis growled in frustration.
“So the news is true?”
“What news?”
“That you’re roaming around one street of Spain with a girl.” Raul pointed out. “Dad heard Luna talking about it with the Alpha. I don’t know then this can be true,” he added, still in shock, trying to digest the part that his friend was showing interest in the opposite sex after ten years again. He was happy for Artemis that he was moving on FINALLY.
Artemis hissed, thinking about Gaby; only she could be one who would have complained about it to his mother.
“Just do, what I said, Raul. I’m already in a bad mood.”
“Well, I can already sense that,” Raul commented. “You can share that with me. Maybe I can help after all; that’s what friends are for.”
“I’m falling in love with her,” Artemis said, on which Raul started dancing in joy but didn’t speak a word. “But a part of me is scared of my previous experience,” he added, on which Raul stopped dancing.
