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.”

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.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

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.
