room. Matt sat down on the desk and was thankfully wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Matt placed his hand on mine on the desk and smiled. He ll be back before you re even ready. I picked his hand up and inhaled the back of it. I could still smell wolf fur and his smell, but the soap he had used took away the forest. I don t like feeling like this. I understand he s my match and we re pack, but I really don t know him. My wolf is getting harder to ignore too. Madeleine watched me curiously. How long ave you known you re a wolf? Matt answered for me as I continued to inhale the smell of his skin. Only a few days. As long as she s known Ares. Madeleine s eyes widened. She must be at least sixteen. Ow as she not known? Matt sighed and rubbed my hair softly. Her father chose to not tell her and kept her away from our kind. Madeleine looked at me with pity in her eyes. That must ave been very difficult. Come, let me make you gorgeous for your mate. I growled. Don t call him that. Matt shook his head at Madeleine. Don t ask. Madeleine sighed. Wolves are always full of drama. Matt held my hand as she worked on my face. My nervousness increased as the minutes ticked by without Ares near me. Madeleine brought in another woman who brushed and fixed my hair into a half up and half down style, with everything lightly curled. Ares came in just as they made the final touches to my makeup and hair. The two women and Matt covered me as Ares walked by to the closet. I thanked Madeleine and the other woman and then walked to the bathroom to use the restroom. Madeleine had refused to let me go while she was working. I started to come out of the bathroom, but Koda blocked my exit. Ares is finishing getting ready. It s your turn to wait. I looked over Koda s new outfit of a tailored suit that fit all of his muscles nicely. His Mohawk was gelled up and the gel made the green dye seem even brighter. You look nice, I said honestly. He spun in a slow circle. Thank you. He smiled at me. You look great too, very beautiful. I blushed and then asked, How much longer is he going to take? I m hungry. A chill swept over my body as the sun set and the powerful presence I had felt the previous afternoon caused fear to close my throat. I wrapped my arms around myself and shivered. Ares spoke from outside the bathroom. What s wrong Artemis? Why are you so frightened? It s a strange& I know I m going to sound stupid when I say this, but there is this powerful darkness I ve been feeling since we came here. It got really strong just now, when the sun set. Koda smiled. It s alright dahlin it s just the vampire King. Ares spoke from farther away in the room. I m almost done, just finishing my hair. I turned and looked at the mirror in the bathroom and stared at the woman looking back at me. I still couldn t believe it was really me. I raised my hand up to my face and pushed on my cheeks. Koda smiled at me, but stayed quiet as I stared at the purple eyes my mother had given me. Ares spoke from near Koda, Are you ready? I scoffed. I ve been ready. I turned around and instantly felt self-conscious. What if he thinks I look horrible? What if he decides I m not good enough for him to be with? He s got so many attractive women vying to be with him and I m just& Ares interrupted my thoughts by stepping into the bathroom and staring at me with wide eyes. He looked perfect. His suit looked like it had been stitched to him and his black hair gleamed with the gel in it and looked spiked, but still natural somehow. His blue eyes sparkled and I wanted him to want me, to approve of me. He smiled and walked forward slowly. Artemis, you look& I blushed and looked down at my hands. Don t& Ares wrapped his arms around me and kissed me on the lips, hard, squeezing me against his muscular body. He smelled like wolf, Ares and cinnamon. He pulled back from me and whispered, Perfect. Beautiful. Delicious. The worry fluttered away and I smiled. You look great, Ares. He shook his head. Nothing can compare to your beauty. I blushed a darker shade of red and he smiled. I got you something. I stared at him in shock as he pulled out a white box. He opened the lid to reveal a beautiful diamond heart necklace. Ares took the necklace out and whispered, So that you will know that my heart is yours alone. I shook my head as I stared at the shining diamonds on the necklace. That s too expensive. I couldn t& Ares raised his hand and I stopped talking. He walked to stand behind me and put the necklace on. Nothing is too expensive for you. Besides, I have quite a bit of money saved up [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
