ALPHA SIN

ARTEMISIA POV

I didn’t know what to say to him.

However, looked as though he would break down if I rejected his advance as I stared him in the eyes.

But then, lying to him wasn’t what I could do, and I didn’t want to lead him on either. That would be awful if I did the former.

“Perhaps doing this will make you see how I feel about you.”

I huffed as I felt a tug on my hand. My hand spread on his shirt as he held the small of my waist and his head dipped.

“What…” The word I wanted to say died in my throat as his lips covered mine.

He was kissing me.

Chase was freaking kissing me.

But how do I feel?

My heart raced, and I scrunched up his shirt, pushing my body into his.

I heard him moaning as the kiss deepened.

That was when I got back to my senses.

“W-what…?” I stuttered as I nudged him.

“I’m sorry,” Chase said, darting out of the room and leaving me speechless.

My hand went to my lips, and I pinched myself.

Goodness, I had kissed him, and it wasn’t a dream.

I didn’t know the reason I let it happen, but I believed I wanted to compare him with Sin.

I lay on the couch and shut my eyes.

How was I going to look at him again?

I doubted I would be able to without feeling embarrassed.

When afternoon came, I ran into Chase and instead of running away; he pulled me into a room and shut the door.

I stayed by the door side and wrapped my arms around myself- I have been doing it a lot lately since I came to the pack.

I believed it was because I wasn’t comfortable staying yet.

“That shouldn’t have happened,” I said when he said nothing.

“It shouldn’t have.” He affirmed, and I heaved a breath.

“But I can’t deny the way I feel about you,” Chase said. “I know you are taken but, I want you as well. I sensed you feel the same way about me, but you are too scared to let go of him.”

I shook my head. “I am not scared to let go.”

“Then what is holding you? You can stay with me, and I will make you feel better than he does. I will treat you better than him.”

“You can’t.” I blurted out.

“Why not?” Chase’s eyes narrowed, and I breathed out, walking further into the room and sitting on the couch.

“Because Sin and I are destined to be together. The fates had made us that way right from the beginning. I can’t be with any other person other than him.”

“Then why the f**k did you run away?” Chase asked. “You could have stayed with him and saved me from heartbreak.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

SIN POV

My hand went to my neck and side as I felt a sharp pain there.

I groaned and staggered out of bed to the bedroom.

Stepping towards the sink, I peered into the mirror and growled.

Artemisia was alive, seeing as it took this long to feel the pain, and she was forgetting about me.

I clenched the sink tighter and my eyes glowed.

Could she be doing something with the bastard, or maybe she was forced to reject me?!

I straightened as the door opened. Laurent stayed in the doorway.

“I’d like to take you out on a spree.” He beamed, flashing two tickets in the air. “I got this from a pretty blonde.”

“Laurent…” I mumbled.

“You want to reject your brother’s offer to treat you to a free drink? Perhaps, you should think twice.”

“My mate mark is fading.” I sighed.

He shrugged. “I knew that would happen, and that is the reason we need to go on that spree to get your mind off things. Who knows, you might see a lucky woman in your bed tonight.”

“I’m not interested in fucking anyone.” I scowled at him.

“Good for you.” He wrinkled his nose and chuckled. “But, I am.”

“I’ll meet you outside in 15 minutes,” I said, shooing him off.

As soon as he left, I stepped into the shower.

Perhaps going on that spree as he said would do me more good, but I didn’t think bedding another woman was the best idea.

I had the feeling Artemisia would come back to me. As much as the mark was beginning to fade, she’d come back to her senses when the time comes.
