ALPHA SIN

ARTEMISIA

I trudged towards the locked door as a knock sounded on it.

“Ma’am, this is for you.” A man, maybe in his early twenties, with a baseball cap on said. I couldn’t see his face. So, I concentrated on what was in his hand.

A smile brightened my face as I glanced at the delivery man that had brought in my order.

I didn’t know a pizza could get delivered in Merene. Merene was farther away from home, and I wasn’t able to locate where I was exactly on the map. Or maybe my map reading knowledge wasn’t sound enough.

I had asked Sin, who had ignored me as usual and left without saying anything to me.

Ever since the event this morning when he had seduced me, I hadn’t seen him in the room. But I had caught a glimpse of him with Emma.

Even though I didn’t want to dwell too much on the compromising position they had been in because I was sure my sister would never betray me by doing some naughty things I had conjured in my mind.

Seeing them from afar had infuriated me. I wondered if they had seen me because they had broken apart immediately.

I thought Sin was about to kiss Emma when he neared her. Likewise, I wondered what I would have done if he had.

My feelings for him were a bit confusing. For some seconds, I would feel I loathed him and wanted to be far from him whilst another moment, I yearned to be in his arms and let him explore my eager body.

Sin was confusing too with the way he was acting lately. I wanted to know more about him. But, I couldn’t, as he always shut me out.

He didn’t give me the chance to get to know him, and he often brushed off any questions I had regarding him as well.

After sighting him with Emma, I had stepped into the room to finish off what I had been knitting to forget what I had seen.

Then, I became hungry, and I dialled the first number I had seen on the internet for pizza delivery.

Hence, the reason the delivery man was here. I opened the box to verify what he had brought. My mouth watered, and I moaned whilst staring at the Pizza Margherita, which was my all-time favourite.

“Thank you,” I said, handing him the money with me.

He smiled back.

I creased my brows whilst he sniffed the money discreetly before tucking it into his breast pocket.

Weirdo.

“Well, hope to see you again,” I said, then proceeded to shut the door.

The delivery man stopped it with his boot, and I glanced up at him.

“Jamie,” I read the name on the plate fastened to his pocket. “Is there something else you want to give to me?”

I asked because he was starting to creep me out as he continued to stay at the entrance.

His hazel eyes twinkled, and a creepy smile spread on his face. “Maybe you can help me.”

He murmured, then shoved me.

I groaned whilst staggering into the room.

He stepped inside and inhaled. “Oh, this place smells heavenly.”

“What do you want?” I stuttered.

“You.” He grinned, walking toward me. His demeanour changed whilst I glanced at him, his lips lifted in an amused smile as I stepped backwards.

I would have thought the smile was sexy, maybe if I had seen it in Sin. However, seeing it on his face made me shiver and nauseous.

I peeked at myself to see if the blouse I had donned exposed any part of my body as his eyes undressed me.

“You need to leave,” I said, whilst pointing at the door. I wanted it to sound firm, rather it came out weak.

Jamie tossed his head backwards and let out a burst of laughter. He gripped his side as he went on laughing.

I wondered what was amusing. But, I didn’t want to ask him, as I was too frightened by the dark glint that had appeared in his once Hazel eyes.

What was he going to do with me? I mulled.

Someone should see him entering the palace and be concerned about why he wasn’t out yet.

However, it was impossible, as Sin’s room was on the first floor. It was on the third floor the first night I arrived, but we had relocated a week after, for reasons best known to Sin. The door was soundproof or maybe not as I remembered the shriek that had awoken Emma, Julie, and Sin.

Moreover, I couldn’t scream like I had done yesterday. I was tongue-tied and the only thing I could do at the moment was open my mouth agape whilst staring at him with wide eyes.

“I want you, b*tch!” He growled.

He clutched me by my hair as I prepared to run. His hand tugged the blouse I donned, ripping it.

I gasped whilst staring at the shredded piece. The last time someone had torn my dress was by Sin, when he wanted to claim me as he had said.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Then, I believe it was sensuous, and I liked how rough he had been whilst he was handling me.

However, it was different now. I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t run. I could only cover the rest of my dignity with my hands.

Jamie slapped my hand away, and he clutched me to his body.

He fondled my br**st roughly and placed his lips on mine.

I struggled whilst thumping his chest as he continued assaulting me.

But it was futile. Tears sprang from my eyes, but I didn’t give up.

“Stop fighting, whore!” He slapped me across the face and his teeth bit my lips.

I winced whilst jerking as he grasped my both hands. Luckily, he stopped for a few seconds and I used the opportunity.

My shin collided with his groin, and he gasped, falling to the floor.

I darted to the door and yanked the handle. I rammed into Sin at the entrance.

He steadied me and clutched my hand as I prepared to dart away.

“What is going on?”

I breathed out when I heard his voice. I clutched his shirt, sniffing.

“I-I…” I trailed off, trembling.

“Breathe Artemisia, Breathe.” He instructed whilst rubbing my back. “Why are you disorientated and who are you running from?”

“Pizza Delivery Guy!” I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around him.

I hadn’t been so terrified in my life before. Today was the first time someone would attempt to take advantage of me, and I wondered why.

I didn’t have any enemies back at home. Neither in Merene because it was barely two months I had been here, and it was still too early to make a foe as far as I was concerned.

“You ordered pizza?” Sin asked. His eyes narrowed whilst he stepped into the room.

I was reluctant to go in with him. I didn’t want to meet Jamie in case he was still in the room waiting for my arrival. Also, I didn’t think I would eat any more pizza Margherita after tonight.

I heard a growl from Sin whilst he sniffed the air. I gasped as he nudged me towards the corner of the room.

I was right. Jamie was in the room waiting to attack. I was glad Sin had noticed.

He smacked Jamie with the back of his hand, glaring.

“What do you want?” He growled.

I could have sworn he said it in another language. But, I understood him.

“Her,” Jamie said simply whilst coming towards me, but Sin intercepted him.

Jamie howled and sank to the floor. His muscles popped, and his face contorted in a grimace. I glimpsed his face changing, as well as his body.

Shaking my head, I shut my eyes and opened them again to make sure I wasn’t dreaming about the transformation that was happening.

I yelped when I opened my eyes. The sound was foreign to my ears as it slipped out of my lips. I glimpsed at Jamie’s bloodshot eyes and glimmering canine.

My heart hammered painfully in my chest, and I wheeze.

Jamie howled and bared its or maybe his teeth. I didn’t know the term to use on him because he had transformed into a freaking large wolf.

Sin growled too as he stepped towards Jamie. The latter jumped in the air, ready to attack, but Sin shoved his hand into his chest abruptly.

I gagged, and the food I had eaten regurgitated at the sight of the heart dripping with crimson liquid he had extracted from Jamie’s chest.

Sin’s eyes were red-rimmed, and his teeth had changed to fangs. Even his face was covered with red veins and angry lines.

“W-what are you?” I gasped, clutching my chest as I stared at him in fright.

He didn’t reply. Instead, he let out several howls and strode towards me menacingly.

“P-please don’t kill me.” I stuttered as my back smacked the wooden door.

Sin halted in his tracks and stared at me for a long while. I noticed his bloodshot eyes were now normal.

But the red liquid was still all over his body.

“Are you frightened of me?” He rasped.

I had freaking seen my husband turn animalistic and all he could ask was if he frightened me?!

Who in their right mind wouldn’t?!

I didn’t trust my mouth to say the words because it would surely come up with the opposite of how I was feeling.

I nodded instead, eyeing him.

“W-who a-are you?” I asked again.

“I’m a werewolf, baby!” He exclaimed, and his eyes flashed goldenly.

Sin stalked towards me, and pulled me to his hard body, “And you Artemisia is my beautiful Luna Queen!”
