ARTEMIS

Chapter Fifteen

We woke up to the sounds of whispering. Ares growled next to me and wrapped his arms around me protectively. “She’s sleeping,” he whispered.

“We discussed this, Ares. I know I agreed not to mate with Artemis, but you’re not allowing me time alone with her,” said Achilles.

Ares growled again as Achilles moved closer. “Back away.”

“Ares,” Koda said in an exasperated tone. “Stop acting so damn possessive. It’s Achilles we’re talking about, not some random wolf.”

Ares nuzzled my hair and exhaled. He stayed in that position for two more minutes before finally releasing me and standing up. “I’m sorry.”

I rolled onto my back and stretched. “What’s going on?” I asked as I feigned naivety, looking from Ares to Koda and then to Achilles.

“It’s time for breakfast,” said Ares softly, pulling me to my feet and kissing my cheek.

I kissed his lips and then moved to hug Koda, but my stomach felt weird. I stopped moving and frowned as I tried to determine the problem. I stood perfectly still for thirty seconds as nothing seemed to answer what the weird sensation was. And then my stomach grumbled. I laughed at my ridiculousness and said, “I guess it is breakfast time.” I hugged Koda before stepping into Achilles’ arms. “Good morning.”

Achilles smiled down at me. “Hello.”

Ares and Koda took the lead and Achilles placed my hand in his as we headed back towards the house. Ares got dressed and tossed me clothes so I could dress as well before we all went down the stairs to the sub level of the house. The sub level wasn’t what I had expected. I thought it would be wood and dirt and small and dark, but it was none of those things. Large wooden support beams held the sides and upper level from crashing down, but marbled tile and candelabras decorated the area. It was also much bigger than I thought it would be with two hallways leading to at least ten doors and three large main rooms, including a full kitchen.

The pack was sitting around the outer edge of the living room floor with empty plates in their hands, looking hungry. Victor stood in the center of the room tapping his foot impatiently, but once he caught sight of Ares and me, he just smiled.

Ares cleared his throat and the room quieted. “You all fought well yesterday and we’re very proud. Now, let’s eat!”

Five boys from the pack brought in plates of slightly cooked meat and set them down in a large circle in the center of the room. Ares picked up two empty plates and handed me one. I followed him as he took some meat from each of the plates and filled mine as well. Once our plates were full, Achilles and Koda took their turns and then the rest of the room. Ares found an open spot against the wall and we all sat down with Ares beside Victor, me beside Ares, Achilles beside me and then Koda beside Achilles. I ate in silence as I listened to the discussions of the pack around me.
