ALPHA SIN

ARTEMISIA

I turned to see Alisson sauntering towards us.

She clenched her fists and scowled.

“This isn’t any of your business. Stay the f**k out of this.” Emma glared.

She stepped in front of me as Alisson neared us.

“Artemisia is my family, and she is my f**king business. You need to watch how you speak to her!” Alisson yelled. She got into Emma’s face.

I had to pull her away because I was aware she never wasted too much time in taking down her opponent.

She looked as though she was going to punch Emma.

“It’s fine, Ally. I am used to her nastiness.”

“Don’t get used to it. I can’t believe I will see someone who is even more awful than I am…” Alisson snorted.

“You brought one of your bitches to fight me?” Emma asked as she stepped towards me again.

“Emma, I don’t want to hurt you.” I winced as she gripped my hair.

“Hurt me! I do not care, but I won’t let you off easily. A whore that knows nothing other than to open her legs for my man.”

I gritted my teeth and slapped Emma’s hand away. Then I shoved her to the door.

I was tired of her talking about Sin being hers.

She had fled from him. She had f**king left me to clean her mess!

It was because of her they cut my fantasies short!

Even my expectations and my parents saw me as something they could use to get back on their feet.

Still, I was glad she had done all that. Even though hated at first in Merene, I believed I was a significant part of the group now.

I was even more important than Sin himself, whilst thinking about the mission given to me to handle.

I got my respect back, not only from Sin, but from his family as well.

And I was glad I met Sin to fall in love with him.

Further, it was because of her we had a fallout.

Emma didn’t mean well to me. She wanted to see me suffer, and it was happening.

She was my little sister. My blood. And I often wonder why she’d wish me something awful because of a man she had willingly left.

I released my hold on her as Alisson tapped my shoulder.

“Emma, I don’t want to hurt you.” I said again, “You need to let this go and leave me the fuck alone!”

“Kill me Artemisia. Yes, kill your little sister!” Emma egged me. She darted towards me, but I was quick.

I shoved her back to the wall and scowled.

She shrieked and struggled on the wall.

“Scream all you want. You are free to wake everybody in the hall. Just know I won’t feel sorry if I harm you. I’ve warned you enough.” I said. My voice was icy, and I felt my magic swirling within me, threatening to surge out.

“You won’t be doing that.”

“Libero!” Adrina said as she appeared, and she released Emma from my hold.

She staggered towards Adrina and gasped out. “My sister is evil. She is a f**king witch.”

She shouted the last words as if she was just realizing who I was.

“I know,” Adrina said. “When it comes to being dangerous, she is not comparable with me.”

“Let’s go,” Allison said, pulling my hand. “I hate this bitch.”

“I hate you too, dearest,” Adrina said, flashing her a smile.

I turned to Emma one last time. “For your good, stay away from me and from Sin. My sister or not, I am freaking punishing you if you stay anywhere close to him.”

“You can do nothing.” Emma flung at my back.

I turned to respond again, but Alisson pulled me away.

It took all the willpower in me not to turn and face off Adrina, who had interrupted me and shut up Emma forever.

As soon as I stepped into Alisson’s room, I plopped on the queen-sized bed.

“Some people are not worth your time.” She said, “and don’t give an answer to everything they say because some things are best left unanswered.”

I nodded. My eyes wandered from the chandelier to the door as it opened.

“Oh, brother!” Alison said with a smile as Sin stepped into the room.

“I was wondering where you were.” Sin said. He was staring at Allison, but I knew he directed the question at me.

He stepped into the room and came to the side of the bed I was in. Then he squatted, and he clutched my hands.

I attempted to pull away from his touch, but his hands tightened on it.

“I’ll just leave…”

“Don’t leave,” I mumbled.

“You’ll be okay, and he’s your husband anyway,” Alison said.

“I’ll be quick.” Sin said with a small smile at Alison.

“Just make it right, brother.”

He nodded and gazed back at me.

I watched Alisson step out of the room before turning to Sin.

“What do you want from me?” I scowled.

“Stop pushing me away.”

“Oh, now you are upset I am doing it? But you did the same thing and didn’t care about my feelings.”

Sin stood to his feet and went to the door. He clicked the lock before coming toward me.

My eyes widened, and I raised my brow. “What was that for?”

“I want no interruption.” He grunted. “For all I know, my good-for-nothing brother might be on his way here.”

“Then you shouldn’t close the door on his account. I am not talking to you, Sin. I don’t even want to see your face.”

“Listen, Artemisia, I know I’m wrong now. Stop pushing me away from you. It hurts me a lot when all those things happen. If only I can make you feel better.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“You can’t.” I sneered, then shoved him off me.

Sin glared. He grasped my hand and yanked me up from the bed. He wrapped his arms around me and cupped my face before kissing me forcefully.

His lips. Oh, gods.

So soft and they taste like honey. I had forgotten how he made me feel inside whenever he touched me. My body was on high alert and my core was ready for him as it got extremely wet.

I scrunched his cloth and hoisted myself on the ball of my feet.

I shouldn’t kiss him back. Likewise, I should shove him and yell at him until he leaves me alone.

I should slap his face with the little time I got now. My subconscious screamed at me, but I did nothing.

Rather, I wanted him to nudge me onto the bed and make insane love to me and tell me everything would be fine. Also, I wanted him to say he loves me alone.

But I got none of it. I didn’t even get the assurance.

Instead, I got a furious Sin.

He pushed me off of him and his eyes glinted. “I can still have you, Artemisia. No matter how hard you try to shove me away. You still want me.”

My hand hoisted before I could help it, and I slapped him hard on his cheek. Despite being hurt, I felt good I did it.

I stared him in the eyes. “I hate you and I will forever will.”
