SIN
I growled whilst staring at the hole I had made through the wall.
The distressed look on Artemisia's face when I saw her running surface. She had looked so frightened that I wanted to punch the person that had terrified her.
At first, I thought she just fled out of the room since she could be sometimes weird. Until I glimpsed her torn clothes.
Was the bastard trying to take advantage of her? Under my freaking roof?!
He should have known before coming here because I was sure if the b*st*rd had thought things through, he wouldn't have.
Artemisia was not as safe as I had thought. It was because of her I had fled to come to Merene. I didn't want any harm to befell her even if she meant nothing to me.
I wasn't ready to answer some silly questions about her wellbeing. Hence the reason I had brought her here.
Also, I believe since Merene was my domain, and she was my queen, the people present would guard her with their last breath.
I wondered where everyone was. Why weren't they at her side at her first call of distress?
Normally since she didn't want me in the same room with her, I often kept my distance so as not to make her furious. But, I felt something odd was happening. My body has gone cold and a searing pain has surged through me abruptly. So, I had left what I was doing to search for her.
I didn't know how I knew, but I sensed she was connected to the pain I was feeling.
"S-Sin?"
I turned towards her as I heard her stutter. She stared at me with wide eyes.
She was scared of me, no doubt. Considering how she had been flinching when I tried to hold her.
Again, she was taking it better than most humans would ever do. But, she had collapsed after I had beaten up the delivery guy.
"Your eyes!" She gasped. Her eyes shut momentarily, she opened it and shook her head.
What was wrong with my eyes? I swirled to the mirror that was at my back and grimaced.
I gazed back at my gleaming red eyes. Also, my face was beginning to change form. When I get furious, it often happens.
It wasn't all the time my monster face surfaced. But tonight, the intruder had overstepped his boundary by coming to the palace and assaulting Artemisia.
It was an unforgivable act.
If I hadn't been angered, his death would have been a slow one. Also, I would have gotten the person that sent him to harass my Luna.
My Luna!
I glanced at Artemisia who was still cowering. She was my Luna and she had been hurt!
I hadn't been this possessive in my life, but currently, all I wanted to do was break some necks, pull out some hearts and damage every opposing pack present!
"I'd be right back." I gritted my teeth. I stepped out of the room because she could say a word.
Aside from wanting revenge on the damages that had been caused though I didn't know the pack I was going to start from- At least I would get an answer at the end regardless of where I begin the massacre. I didn't want her seeing my demon face.
It wasn't a full moon yet because during it the devil in me usually surfaced. Also, it was at the full moon I locked up myself, threw away the keys and chained my body whilst transforming.
Even though it was a bit useless, at least it would stall me from assaulting anyone until I had transformed.
I was more dangerous before and during transformation. When I change to my wolf form, I often go out to overlook the surroundings so as not to have anyone infiltrating Merene.
"I know what you are thinking."
I halted in my tracks as my mother appeared.
"What?!" I growled whilst she intercepted me.
"Don't go massacring anyone. You will hurt yourself just for a lowly human. Someone that means nothing to you. You already got what you want, that is the throne, isn't it time for you to discard her and follow the prophecy by looking for your mate?"
Discard Artemisia? A lowly human?
The terms she had used for her played in my mind over again. Then, the distress I had seen on Artemisia's face penetrated my mind.
"She isn't any human, mother. She is my f**king wife." I barked. "Some idiot came to hurt her under my roof and they will pay for trying to mess up with me and for the damages they've caused."
I growled. I shoved the hand she had gripped me with away and proceeded towards the exit.
"I know." She said, "I know they were here."
She knew they were here for Artemisia?! Yet, she hadn't done anything to protect her.
Was that how much she loathed her?
"You knew?!" My eyes darkened and I narrowed them on her.
My fangs appeared and I tasted blood as I bit my lower lips. "You fucking knew and yet did nothing?!"
"Of course, I knew." She asserted, rolling her eyes. "Stop baring your teeth at me, Sinclair. I'm your mother."
"If you can't keep my house in order even while I'm away. You are not fit to be called a dowager Luna or worse my mother!" I yelled, stalking her.
What kind of mother would let an enemy come looking for his son's wife without doing anything? I believed she was the one who sent the idiot and she would have gotten Artemisia killed in the process.
"Back off, Sin." Laurent appeared next to me. He shoved me whilst standing in front of her. "You should listen to Mom. That woman is nothing to you."
He said, pointing to the direction of the room Artemisia was.
"So what?!" I snarled. "She is still my wife and I have the right to protect her until she wants out of the marriage. Y'all have the freaking right to protect her because she is one of us now." I pointed at the duo who shrugged.
I tugged at my hair in frustration. I felt betrayed. Staring at the remorseless look on their faces meant they had known and planned it with each other.
But why?!
Artemisia hadn't done anything to them. I understood my mother was still mad I had gotten married to a human. But, what was Laurent's deal?
Fine, we didn't get along. But, not all siblings were meant to get along. He had been a pain in my neck since I became an Alpha.
We were 9 months apart. So, there weren't many differences in our age. Yet, I was still older.
Laurent believed he was the one who would be crowned King and also the Alpha because he was always with our father until his demise. I on the other hand had wanted to blend like the humans and had gone to pursue a degree in another country instead of staying in Merene.
He had been competing with me. Even after I was given the title, he had tried every possible way to take it from me, through combat and all. Yet, he had been futile.
I stalked toward the exit after glancing at the duo for a while.
"I didn't send anyone after her even though I don't like her!" My mom yelled before I stepped out of the hall.
I breathed out. So, I wouldn't be combating my mother after all.
Still, who was after Artemisia?!
I scowled whilst thinking of all the enemies I had, but I couldn't come up with any.
