Artemis POV

“ABSOLUYTELY NOT!!!” Roman was roaring and I do not recall ever seeing him this upset. The vein on his forehead was pumping, ready to burst, his canines out, his eyes have darkened – Caleb was ready to fight me.. “Is this your fucking idea???” he turned around and asked Lady Jasmine. She seemed unimpressed with his outbursts, literally more interested in nail polish on her hands. “You really can never get the blood right out, can you?”.. This seemed to enrage him even further. ”What the fuck is wrong with you Jasmine???Are you trying to ruin my pack??? Why are you taking my Beta and my witch from me???”” Roman was roaring none too pleased with my request.

“You are becoming boring and I am tired – it has been a long day and by the looks of it – it will be a long night”, she snapped back at him… “This was not my idea, and perhaps your Beta should explain to you his reasoning, before you make mistakes that will cost you puppy”, she snickered..

Just great I thought to myself.. Piss him off more so that he can take it out on me. She could talk however she wanted to him, she was a Royal Princess. I had no such luxury. “I too, want a family Roman”, I said.. “I would think that of all people, you would understand”, I retorted back.. His expression changed into a smile.. “You too found a MATE??? My brother, this is AMAZING!!!!”, he was now walking over to me to congratulate me.. “Is it one of her she-Lycan’s???” Who is this girl that you want to leave me for? She better be all that”, he was now winking knowingly..

“Well, that is just the thing, I started sheepishly. It’s Dragana”.. Before I completed the sentence, his fist met with my jaw, and next thing I knew, he was growling in my face pinning me next to the wall. “Is this why SHE REFUSED ME??? Because she is FUCKING YOU, behind my back???? You have betrayed me??????? I am your Alpha!!!!!!” his face was contouring now, Caleb wanting to rip me to shreds. “You swore a BLOOD OATH Beta!!!”, he said holding me up as a child, ready to snap my neck up..

“Oh Gods, you are so ridiculously childish”, Lady Jasmine was now laughing, while I was struggling to breathe. “he did not fuck her – are you a werewolf or simply a total moron??” she asked. “YOU CAN SMELL THAT SHE IS A VIRGIN, you absolute tool!!”, she was now getting up and pulled him off me with force that spun him off and rammed him into a wall across his office. I heard his head crack and saw blood, but he was shaking it off, and already healing. His rage however, had not subsided and he charged at me again and Emir charged at him, wanting full control. For that moment, I forgot that he was my childhood friend, my brother, my Alpha, my King. All I thought of is what I already knew – he wanted her even though she was not his mate and I was in love with her, and I could not stand for another man touching her.

Before we knew what was happening, Lady Jasmine moved and grabbed us both by scuffs ad if we were puppies. The strength of that woman was incredible. She looked as if she were picking up dirty laundry, where in fact in her hands she held two ferocious wolves, ready to go at it with each other.

“Should I bang your heads together, to knock some sense into you???? Would that help??”
We were both snapping at her and at each other trying to escape her steely grip. “Either one of you bites me, he is dead”, she said simply. Something in her eyes told me she was not kidding and I tried to think of Dragana and what I wanted out of life, as opposed to being killed on the spot by a Lycan. I stepped down first, shifting back.. My clothes were torn apart, but it was not as if we were shy about nudity. Anger was bubbling within me, replaying what I heard behind doors today, thinking he wanted her, thinking how he touched her.. I was struggling tremendously not to attack him again.

“Can I put you down, or you are going to dangle there and growl forever?” she asked Roman, at which point he shifted and spat at me.. “You are a fucking traitor – you are no brother of mine!!! Pick a family member you wish to die – you know the price for breaking the blood oath!!!!” he screamed. “What is your MATE going to think about your attachment and attraction to another woman??” I said. That comment seemed to freeze him in his tracks. ‘Yes, what indeed? I may not be expert on mate bonds or relationships”, Lady Jasmine said now mocking both of us, “but I am to understand that she-wolves are just as protective and jealous as Lycan females”, she said chuckling now. “And, Roman”, she continued not addressing him by his title.. “Why is it that you want to take what is not yours??”

If looks could kill, both Lady Jasmine and I would have died on the spot. He was raging and all the rational thought seemed to have left him, however, mentioning his mate slowed his breathing. He walked over to his bar and poured himself a drink without offering us any. “You can go wherever the fuck you want Artemis – I do not need a traitor as my Beta”, he said without turning his face to me.

“And how exactly did I betray you Roman??? I have done NOTHING – NOT A GOD DAMN THING, which is more then I can say for you”, I spat, getting worked up now again. A slow menacing growl came from Lady Jasmine. Calypso was about to come out, and Gods be good, nobody wanted to see her..
“What did you do to her????!!!!”, she said, her voice piercing air, soft but cold as ice.. She was in hunting mode, slowly now taking one step at the time to Roman, stalking him as her pray.. He said nothing.. “I asked you and I will not repeat myself.. she said, still growling.. WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER????!!!!”.. Her last words were spoken with such a force that it blew the windows out and knocked both Roman and myself out. I have never seen anybody be able to do that with just their voice. There was a reason Princess Jasmine was feared and revered. She had more powers then I thought. Her aura washed over me making me tremble and forcing me to my knees.. My head was pounding and my nose started bleeding from sheer force she used. Roman too was on his knees, his eyes defiant despite his nose bleeding too.. “Last chance before I fucking rip your head off!!!”, she said getting to him and holding her clawed hand out, ready to slice his throat..

“I kissed her – I KISSED HER DAMNIT”, he said, unable to fight her. I, may have fooled around a little – but that is all” he said barely able to hold his head up.. She dropped her aura a little happy with honesty I guess, even though I wanted to kill him now, but was unable to move. “Did she kiss you back?”, she asked simply, her eyes not leaving his face.. “She did”, he said ripping my heart out in the process, his head hung low. “Interesting”, is all I heard Jasmine say not knowing what to make of all this anymore.
