Chapter 69
Artemis pov
A soft wind tells me there is a window close by so I search in the dark following a slight breeze. Yes! Doing a little happy dance as I throw open the curtains light flooding the room. The cool blues grays and blacks of the room give me a welcoming calming feeling its the trophy's on the shelves around the room that draws my attention. Getting up on my tippy toes I can barely see the name on one oh I should have known whose room this was. I should have known he was a liar I mean he is an alpha. Just when his beta started to break down my wall. Well, two can play at that. Storming to the window I look for a latch to open it. that's when I notice the view out the window. Spinning around looking at the door bending down touching the floor then the wall. How can I be looking out the front door and be in the alpha's room? What the actual……. wait a damn minute where is the fucking door.
“HELLO?” I yell hoping to hear the pair that had been talking before. I'm trapped in here I cant see a door. When there is so answer I state throwing things around the room. Well, let's see how you like your room after I am done decorating it alpha asshat. As soon as the thought entered my head a sharp pain goes through my heart taking my breath away. My wolf preening in my head yet she's still so far away. “I HATE YOU PHILLIP SAMUELS!” I scream at no one as tears spring to my eyes. The room soon fills with mist the thoughts of Jacob coming for me again send fear through me. Frozen place as the room fills. Then that amboss? Amboos? Amble? Well, whatever his name appears in the middle of the room.
“awe I see you awake good. Hungry?” he asks like it's any other day and I am not locked up. Crossing my arms I refuse to speak to this this this what is he. Tilting my head looking him over. Fae? Nope. Witch? Has to be he looks very human and he has magic strong magic from the looks of it. With a wave of a hand, freshly baked cinnybonnies from my favorite cafe appeared. Glaring at this witch as the scent of fresh yum yum juice makes it way to me. “awe comes on princess to me forever to figure out what cinnybonnies were. Not gonna let them go to waste are you?” giving me puppy dog eyes. “for a not wolf you sure know how to handle one. How?” I glare at him shrugging he sits at the table pulling the box with the cinnybonnies in them a small growl breaks from my throat as my stomach starts grumbling. Okay okay. Getting up I make my way to the table pulling the box to me. The witch chuckles to himself.
“so my dear I thought we could have a small chat while young Phillip is dealing with your brother and young Tyler is dealing with the rogues. So dear want to explain to me why you keep running from your destiny?” catching me off guard at his blunt-to-point question. “what do you mean?” giving me a look of, that won't work on me I drop my shoulders bowing my head.
“how about you answer questions I have and ill answer yours?” I ask him he seems to think it over then answers “if it is a question I can answer I will but if you lie to me once I will no longer answer you?” he raises a brow at me. Nodding I take a sip of heaven. Nodding I wait for him to ask. Taking his first bit of a cinnybonnie his eyes snap up to me “I see why you could eat your weight in these. Maybe young Phil can see about them being made here too.” “Why do you not call him alpha? Is he not your alpha?” his chuckle tells me I didn’t hit the cord I had hoped to. “my child I belong to no one but myself. I have been friends with the Samuels for a long time. I have known both young Philip's parents and his grandparents. It was young Phil's grandfather who let me out of my cell deep under this very pack house.” he laughs like it's a great memory. I think this man has lost his marbles.
“so princess why do you keep running from young Phil? You know there is nowhere you could go he won't be able to find now don’t you?” I was about to answer when what he said fully sinks in “what do you mean?” shaking his head “no, no child that's not how this game goes you ask I answer then I ask you answer not you ask I answer I ask you ask.” he chuckles out taking another cinnybonnie and popping it in his mouth. “well hmmm fear I guess why? And what do you mean by there's no place I can go now? What changed?” grabbing for my coffee watching this witch as he waves his hand about and more cinnybonnies appear. Eyeing him up and down could he really eat them all?
“when your wolf decided to accept the young alpha the bond was set you could no longer reject him nor could he reject you not that he would reject you it's not in his nature.” flipping his hand back and forth. Shaking my head I don’t feel the bond this is some kind of trick. “why does your family work with the night coven?” “who?” lost as to what he's talking about. His eyes shoot to mine glowing odd colors and changing to shades I have never seen before. The longer he stares the more uncomfortable I feel. “you really have no clue do you?” shaking my head as he places his elbows on the table locking his fingers together and placing his chin on his hands. His eyes settle on a strange silvery green-gray combo-ish color. They are all three colors at once and an odd mix of them all at the same time its the oddest thing I have seen in a long while. “okay why did you give them your magic then?” he asked causing me to laugh so hard my sides hurt. Looking at him with tears in my eyes I see his face.
“what like for real I had magic?” I had magic? Before I could ask him more or for him to answer his back goes straight and he's gone just a mist left in his place.
