《Artemis》11
Advertisement
I woke up to obnoxiously loud snores, my eyes snapping open at the intrusion of noise. It took me a moment for everything to come crashing back, if anything the sparks I felt from the arm wrapped around me brought all the memories straight to the front of my brain. I turned slightly and looked over to his face, my cheeks feeling as if they're going to burst with how wide my grin was.
So beautiful.
I slid out from his grip as quickly as I could, walking into my kitchen. I drifted ingredients out of the cabinets and the fridge, looking through the books I had in my shelf over how to get to Olympus. I had eggs cooking in a skillet and pancakes being made on the griddle, all without me even touching a spatula.
I sighed as I pulled out my laptop, renting out a private plane to get us to the actual Mount Olympus. Then we would have to hike up the mountain until we find a secret cavern that takes us to something closely resembling an elevator, which brings us to Olympus.
I'm just worried; the trip to Olympus is dangerous, and most often you'll get attacked on your way up. I've only been once, when I was around thirteen, and had gotten caught by Furies twice. They were seriously not very nice, and I still have a long scar on my shoulder from one of their talons.
I sighed, we still had about two days before we had a bit of a break from school, Greek Gods and impending war wasn't an excuse for me to miss school. I looked over to the clock and the already plated breakfast, smiling to myself when I heard footsteps upstairs above me.
"Artemis?" His voice sent chills down my spine, my heart began to race just by the sounds of his footsteps. It was pathetic really, but god was it messing with me.
"Downstairs!" I smiled as I smelt him, feeling how his aura practically lit up the room around us.
His face lit up when he saw the table, bending down to kiss me lightly before plopping down right next to me at the table. He piled food onto his plate before reaching over and dragging me out of my seat and into his lap, nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck.
I still wasn't use to this.
I tried to hold onto any resentment I could regarding him, trying to hold onto any anger I had pinched deep inside of me from the rejection, but I just couldn't. All it took was a single look into his grey eyes and it sent my heart fluttering like a cliche romance book you found old ladies reading.

"I have to introduce you to the pack soon." I looked up from the piece of bacon I was munching on to Jaxon's face, his eyes searching through me. "Is that okay?"
I nodded and gave him a weak smile, trying to calm down the storm raging inside of me. Would they be okay with having a witch as a Luna? Would they hate me? Burn me at the stake?
Jaxon must've noticed my inner turmoil because he lifted my face until I was staring intently into his eyes, sending little waves of whatever the hell the mate bond called it, either way it calmed me the hell down. "They'll love you, I promise. If they don't, then I'll just step down as Alpha."
"No! You can't do that for me!" He chuckled and shook his head, sending me a lopsided smile.
"I don't care, I'll always put you first." He kissed me again, his lips soft as they moved against mine.
Jaxon was my own personal drug, sending me into my own personal high that I never wanted to come down off of. It was like that Twilight book, when the vampire told the human she was his own brand of heroin, he was utterly and completely right. I don't think I could ever get enough of him, and that frightened me.
"Come on, we have school soon." I muttered against his lips, brushing against them as I spoke. He growled in frustration before pushing against me again, a smirk on my lips as I kissed him. "Go."
I walked upstairs and got changed, pulling on a maroon velvet crop top with printed pants, including four necklaces I loved and ring all along my fingers. I smiled at my runes running along my arm, tracing over the one on my forearm for confidence. I would need it.
I walked back down to find Jaxon already changed, having changed in one of my guest rooms. He wore a black v neck and dark jeans, his hair loose and messy over his forehead. I smiled as his jaw unhinged, his eyes drifting over my body before looking back up to my eyes.
"Should you be wearing that?" I shrugged, dancing over to where he stood by the front door. I lifted up onto my tip toes, pecking the base of his throats before his lips.
"Dunno, but you like it so shut up." I grabbed my keys, stepping out with a growling and frustrated wolf following behind me.
The trip to school was quick, with Jaxon's hands not being able to keep to himself. He would just growl playfully whenever I stopped his wandering hands, and would switch between that and twirling a piece of my curly hair.

When we got out of my car, it seemed as if the entire pack turned to stare at us, including a few humans. I smiled as we walked over to Riley and Mona, slipping my shoes off once we hit grass. Jaxon groaned, taking my shoes from my hand as I wiggled my feet in between the grass.
"Just a warning little miss witch, Kendra's back." I shrugged, turning to look at Jaxon's face. His previous floppy smile had quickly been replaced with an agitated frown, his jaw locking.
"Should I be worried?" I asked him quietly, watching the tension almost immediately wipe off his face when he looked down to me.
"No, she's just an annoying shewolf who wants to be the Alpha Female." He leaned down and kissed me gently just as the bell rang, handing me back my shoes. "Put you're shoes back on, and please, keep them on for over half the day?"
I groaned before sticking my tongue out at him and nodded, slipping my sandals on. I followed Mona to our classroom with our boys behind us, a smile quirking on my face at that thought. A hand gripped around my wrist, turning me around to look at Jaxon's wary face.
"I have to go tell my father that I'm presenting you to the pack and talk about leaving for Greece, Rileys coming with me. Stick with Mona, be safe, and please, don't punch Kendra." I groaned, nodding my head before kissing him harder than previously.
I watched him leave and walk back down the hallway, my eyes trained on his ass the entire time. "Stop looking at your boyfriends ass Art!"
I watched him whirl around at the corner, his eyes wide as he laughed and wiggled his butt in front of me. I hollered down the hall just before I ducked into the classroom, his eyes watching me from the corner. "I'll get you back for that!"
As I stepped in I waved to a few of the wolves that greeted me, obviously reliving I was Jaxon's mate. My eyes trained themselves on a girl sitting in the front of the room, her blonde hair curled into absolute perfection standing out against her even more perfect tan.
I wish I could say she was a slut, a bottle blonde with caked on makeup, but she wasn't. She was gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous, but I could tell she was a bitch. She looked down with disgust at one of the lower wolves that walked down the aisle, sticking out her foot to try and trip them.
I moved quickly and caught her, my eyes looking through her thick glasses as I helped right her. "Are you okay?"
She nodded thankfully to me, scurrying to the back of the classroom. I turned and looked to Kendra, her face scrunched up as she looked over my outfit and runes running along my arm. She stood up from her desk, her followers migrating to watch the drama even closer. One of the pack warriors watched closely from the wall, making sure she didn't physically try to hurt me.
"Who the fuck are you?" Her voice was high, but not ear splitting high. It was almost that perfect valley voice, complete with the arrogance and prissy tone that I loathed.
"I'm Artemis, you're Kendra right?" She looked taken aback by my kind tone, her eyes trained on me even harder than before.
"Yeah, how the fuck do you know my name?" I grimaced at her cursing, I mean yeah I cursed a lot, but most of my cursing was at least internal.
"Please refrain from cursing like that, we're in school. I don't care if you curse in your house or car or even in your head, just don't do it in school. I know your name because my boyfriend told me about you." She looked agitated and pretty furious, taking a step closer and straightening her spine to try and look intimidating.
"And who is your boyfriend?"
"Jaxon." If she looked furious before, she looked absolutely livid right now.
"What the fuck do you mean you're Jacobs girlfriend!? He's saving himself for his-"
"Yeah, that's me." Her eyes flashing between black and chocolate brown, her wolf just as power hungry as she was. As fast as they flashed they immediately stilled, flipping back to a warm chocolate brown. A smirk plastered on her face, her entire demeanor turning cold and distant.
"Yeah, we'll see about that." I furrowed my eyebrows as I turned around warily, making eye contact with Mona.
I walked back to my seat, settling in as the teacher began class. Her eyes glanced between a cool Kendra and me, my own confusion planted clearly on my face. I pulled out my note book as I tried to pay attention, but my mind kept wandering to her smirk on her face.
"What the hell did she mean by that?" Mona asked gently, leaning over so other wolves would hear us.
I shrugged and shook my head gently, turning back to her. "I have absolutely no idea."
