Chapter 37
Artemis pov
Standing in my room pissed that my father and brother dragged me back here. Today is the day I will be taken as the mate of Jacob white a witch chosen to be the beta to my brother. Since I have been home I have noticed they have a close relationship. They spend all their time with each other and my brother's mate. A small omega from the cleaning staff. She's cute but my brother will walk all over her. She's going to make a weak luna of lunas. Shay always glaring at me pushing all my buttons. What I have done to her I have no clue as the first time I met her was yesterday when I was dragged back here. Taken to my father's office there inside were lo and jay.
The sight of jay no longer made my heart flutter and my body heat with need. He was just another guy, a witch, a friend of my brothers. After introducing me to the rude weak she-wolf they sent her away so we could talk. She glared at me the whole time clear until the door shut. Shrugging it off as just normal she-wolf bull I turned to the guys. “why bring me back ?” “you are to mate to Jacob in two weeks.” father orders. Not wanting to but feeling the pull of his aura and the command I bowed my head knowing I will do as I am told. Glaring at my brother and Jacob before I turn and leave. I will spend the next two weeks trying to find a way out of this. I no longer have a mate and I have turned my back on this family. having lost the small connection I had to the moon and the hunt. I had to live like a human as my wolf refused to show herself. Storming to my room to sulk before I start looking for a way of this.
The last two weeks have been nothing but frustration and failure. Tomorrow I will become the mate of a man I can no longer stand to be around. How did I think he was ever my mate. My dreams are plagued with red eyes and silver eyes. Last night was the worse dream I had ever had the red eyes and silver eyes seemed to change places throughout but they were fighting black eyes. I couldn’t see the bodies attached to the eyes but I can see how the eyes move and look at the others. The back and forth never ends there is a push and pull from every direction. It's like I can feel it deep inside me. Putting it out of my mind I head to the bathhouse as I have to be ready for my mate. Walking in I see grandmother venus standing in the middle of the room. my grandmother is named after the goddess of love and a bunch of other things she's, not one you can ever say no to. She has this way to pull on your desire and use it against you. Walking toward me she places a hand on my cheek “look at you so pretty. So young. Oh to be young again. Now did you do anything stupid while you were away?” her gaze taking on a hint of scaring me to my bones look.
She then puts her hands on my shoulders grabbing my shirt and ripping it off me. Yelping in surprise I try and cover my bare chest. Her growl has me freezing in place. She places her hands on my stomach and closes her eyes. After a few minutes, she smiles nods, and leaves. I want to ask what that was but was for the first time in my life afraid of a member of my family. Once she's gone and the door is shut I lock it and slide down the door. Sitting with my back against the door and my knees up to my chest I let all the emotions out. today I become a slave to my family how did I never see this before. I had tried several times to lose my virginity and make myself worthless to being the mate of Jacob. Every time I got close the guy would get sick and have to leave. Even the goddess won't let me be free of this.
Getting it all out I stand and head to the bath. The door burst open and Jacob his parents and my father come in with a few young wolves behind them. Jacob has the decency to not look at my naked body. “your grandmother says you are still pure. So you didn’t sully our name but your running away was childish and will never happen again. Do you understand?” I nod too uncomfortable to move. With a wave of a hand, he looks at the whites “she's all yours” and walks out. Jacob holds his hand out his mother slices his palm and drops three drops in a gold bowl. With one last glare, he storms out. His mother sneers at me “he's just not that into you and we have to change that.” his father just staring at me licking his lips. I do not like the way he is looking at me. “such a shame we have to give her to Jacob. There is several things I could think of to do to her.” shock that his father would say such with his wife there. But when she just laughs placing a hand on his shoulder “I am sure after she is taken by him making that bond he will let you play with her.” fear now floods me as they stalk forward. Giving orders as they move. “I want her hairless. The smoother the better. Dump this in the water but don’t touch unless you want your skin burned off.” my eyes shot to the bath water and the scared she-wolf with a bottle in her hand. The green liquid swirled around with thin lines of shiny gold.
