Chapter 52
Artemis pov
Having slipped away I thought Skylar would have been hot on my heels. Not stopping as I ran I finally find a town hours away from Philip Samuels and his pack. Checking into a room under a false name just in case they come looking for me. The girl at the front desk keeps looking at me weird. “you look just like I heard the princess looks.” she says as she checks me in “ya I get that a lot.” blowing it off like it's something I hear all the time. Who knows if my brother has someone out looking for me and I know that alpha will be looking for me. I had asked around and what he said is true no Samuels has ever rejected their mate. Or accepted one without a good reason so he won't be letting me go anytime soon.
For the first time in a long time, I feel my wolf stir, and it's when I am thinking about Samuels. Taking my key and heading to the sixth floor. I had hoped for a ground room just in case but they didn’t have anyone on the bottom floor. The room is small but it has everything I need. Plus there is a gas station next door. I had stopped in and grabbed a few things to eat. Stripping off the clothes I am wearing heading to the bathroom to wash them and set them to dry overnight so I have something clean to wear when I leave in the morning.
Taking a quick shower after I wash my clothes. Sitting on the bed with my gas station questionable sandwich in my underwear. Flipping through the channels for something to watch. My wolf I awake not letting me heal or shift but I can feel her in my head. I feel we are on different roads right now. I am full of worry but she seems excited. This would be one of those times it would come in handy if I could talk to her. I settle for the news station. Well if nothing else I can plan my getaway around the weather. What kind of weather would be the best. Having lived here in the middle of the world we get all the seasons. And even a few others don’t get it. I mean this year has the new alpha of alpha season. That is where my brother will take the title and tour the packs. We also have heat season and pup season. Being so close to the royal pack caused this to happen. It's so that every twenty-five years a new alpha rises. A lot of packs follow this as well because it's easier.
The heating season will be triggered two months after the future alpha of alphas marks his mate. All mated she-wolves go into heat at the same time. Unmated she-wolves don’t go into heat physically like mated she-wolves., but if you have your wolf you feel a need to find your mate and may also have a driving feeling to be around expecting she-wolves or pups for three days. The royal heat season last three days and is almost a guarantee of conceiving during this heat. Taking that into thought I think about the pack's father away from my family. Trying to remember the population map and the yearly birth of pups for each pack I can't remember if they seem to follow the same twenty-five-year superheat.
If I remember right they don’t suffer from the royal heat. And with me being the twin of the future alpha of alphas and no records about the royal heat back 100 years ago. Staring at the screen and looking over the map I decide ill head south to the snowpack. Not the smartest pack but they are good fighters and take in any wolf that makes it that far south. they keep to themselves so I don’t think they have any problems with other packs. Looking at my shoes I make a note of things I will have to do along my way. First, get farther away from the black rose back so I am harder to track. I will need new boots and warmer clothes. I have never been a fan of cold weather but my brother will never go that far. He can't handle the cold as well as I can. Being that the goddess I am named after is a moon goddess I can handle cooler weather as my brother is the god of the sun so cold is not something he handles at all.
Lying down staring at the news not listening just watching the colors change as the scene does. Starting to dose off when the door handle snapped. Jumping up screaming as the door swings open. There in all his glory filling the doorway was a god of men. Tall dark with silver eyes staring at me. His black hair hung down to his shoulders. A look of checkmate dancing in his eyes. Stalking in I step back. My body and mind are at odds with themselves. Half of me wants to run to him the other half wants to run from him. Shutting the door behind him he turns to look at me. Crossing his huge heavily tattooed arms over his chest. My eyes went to his chest swallowing hard and looking him over. A smirk is on his mouth as my eyes make their way back up. Confused I look him in the eye seeing him looking me over. Yelping I grab the blanket covering my almost naked body. A chuckle leaves his throat causing me to press my thighs together.
“I think it's time we talk about why you rejected me and come back to the pack. don’t you?” he raises his brow and I feel my body jerk to throw myself at him. Shaking my head I start to back away to the bathroom. He takes one step forward and grabs the blanket with his big hand.
“where do you think you're going princess?”
