ARTEMISIA
"Where the hell is that b*tch!" The voice roared, followed by a groan from Rhoda.
I grimaced at the sound of bones breaking and the scent of blood wafted into my nostrils.
I winced, pushing down the vomit that tried to resurface again.
"Don't, My lady! Don't come out!"
That was what Rhoda said over and over again. Even after receiving multiple blows and maybe severe injuries from whoever was with her.
"Then, you will have to suffer, as well as these ugly looking pups!" The intruder rumbled, making me shiver.
What was I wanted for?!
Was it because of me they had come here, just to capture me?
But, I was an ordinary human! What would they do with me?
My head reeled as several unanswered questions swirled around in my head.
"Where are you, Sin," I mumbled, breathing in and out.
For a few seconds, everything in the room was silent. I strained my ears but I couldn't hear a sound. Not even that of the children, I had almost risked my life to save.
I wondered what had become of them. I shouldn't have left them in the room!
It wasn't my fault though as I didn't know I would be attacked by my vomit.
What if the werewolf that had dealt with Rhoda had done the same thing to them? What if they were in their pool of bl…
"No," I mumbled, grimacing. "I need to be positive," I said to myself whilst pushing out the negative thoughts.
The door to the bathroom opened abruptly. The sound of wood shattering filled the air. It seemed whoever had stepped in had booted it.
Rather than twisting the handle in a civilized manner.
"I know you are in here, B*tch. Hiding would only make your punishment worse."
My heart palpitated and I gripped my legs together so as to stop them from trembling. My body shook and I wheezed.
"I can hear you and even smell you! I only need to pinpoint your location."
Oh gods, Sin!
I wasn't ready to die. I only hope Sin would come in sooner and save me from the miserable fate I was about to experience.
My ears perked up as the door from outside went ajar. Another person had entered. Was it another enemy?
"It isn't," I mumbled as I felt my neck tingling.
I clasped my hands in my mouth as I realised I had said my thoughts out loud. But it was too late.
"Gotcha!"
I shrieked as the man jumped in front of me.
My eyes widened as I stared into his gleaming green eyes. His thin lips stretched out in a smirk and he tilted his head filled with yellow curls whilst accessing me.
I shrieked once more as he tugged me to him.
"Artemisia!" Sin called out.
My mouth opened but I shut it back as the man tutted.
"Speak and I won't hesitate to cut out your little tongue."
I nodded, keeping my mouth sealed because I wasn't ready to lose my tongue.
But I believe without divulging my location, Sin was going to get to me by my scent.
"Where the f**k are you?!" He grunted as he entered the bathroom.
If only I could use a mind link. It should be possible because we were mated. I heard that mating makes it possible for the Alpha to hear Luna's thoughts. Sin could read minds but he had said mine was inaccessible.
Which meant even a mind link wouldn't be possible, but there was no harm in trying.
I tried my best to concentrate on getting into his mind and telling him where I was.
The man had dragged me inside the storeroom when he heard Sin's voice and had said I'd be a bait to get him.
So, they weren't after me as I had thought. But what would they want with Sin?
After relaying the message to him, I heard footsteps close to where we were and I held my breath.
Did it work? Or maybe he had guessed because I was sure the storeroom was the last place he'd check. Anyway, I wanted him to get to me quickly as I was beginning to suffocate in the stuffy room.
I was claustrophobic and I don't do too well in tiny spaces.
Everything happened quickly, the door to the store opened and I was shoved out by the enemy.
My stomach smacked into the sink where he had shoved me into and he leapt on Sin.
Sin growled at the unexpected attack but he regained himself quickly and began fighting back.
My eyes dimmed and I felt liquid dripping down my nose. Fighting back the dizziness which I believe was caused by the shove, I wiped my nose with the back of my palm.
"Blood," I muttered. How?
"Do whatever you are doing, Artemisia!" Sin grunted.
What was I doing? I mused, still staring at the blood trickling down my nose at a steady rate now.
"Artemisia!"
I jolted, and my eyes widened as they flickered to Sin.
He was on the floor howling in pain and the enemy was doing the same too.
"Bitch!" He winced, clutching his head. "I'm going to kill him and have you to myself. Then have your head on a f**king wooden stake!"
Was I the one doing this?
Sin had said I should do whatever I was doing. But I didn't know what.
I noticed my hand was outstretched. I looked underneath, but nothing was there.
I retracted it and at the same time, Sin and the enemy wolf sprang to their feet.
"I'm killing this bitch!" The enemy wolf said, darting towards me.
Sin gripped his hand and stared into my eyes, "F**king do what you had done before."
On impulse, I stretched out my hand whilst concentrating on the wolf. I called on anguish and every form of pain I knew.
"Stop this!" The enemy wolf sputtered, clutching his neck as if I was choking it.
I didn't relent. Rather, I was strengthened to inflict more pain by an unknown force.
Sin was suffering the same fate as well but he wasn't as severe. He managed to stand on his feet, stepped towards the enemy wolf and clutched him by the neck.
The enemy wolf gasped as Sin thrust his hand through the chest extracting his heart.
Sin plunged his lifeless body sideways and collapsed to the floor. I halted as well and scrambled to him.
Despite the blurriness, I was feeling in my vision, I was elated because I had Sin in my hand. My husband was in my hand and it was what I had always wished for!
He was freaking safe.
My eyes dimmed more and controlling myself to stay awake seemed futile.
So, I collapsed along with him, giving up to the blackness that enveloped me.
