Chapter 17

##WARNING: SOME STRONG LANGUAGE AND SITUATIONS}## –

Duncan bit down hard tasting his mates blood, in an instant he could feel all of her pain, it was unbearable. He called out for Apollo for help, instead he got Artemis surrounding him with warmth, that was when he passed out.

Adira was floating on a wave of pain, she couldn’t get away from it. She felt so alone in the wave. She could hear Duncan in the dark distance but she couldn’t make out what was being said. She lay on the dark ground hugging her knee’s, that was when she felt light by her side, she looked up and there was Artemis, wrapping herself around Adira.

Adira could hear her heart beat, as she listened the pain became less. There was a lonely sounding howl in the distance, it was getting closer and closer. Adira wasn’t afraid of the howl, she thought that it sounded beautiful, it made her feel calm and warm inside.

With each howl the pain lessened more and

more.

“Yes, Artemis?

“Open your eyes.”

“There isn’t anything to see but inky blackness.

“No little one, look it is no longer dark at all.”

Adira opened her eyes, before her was the single most wonderful place, there were little fairy lights dancing lazily around, a gentle wind carried the scent of the blooming flowers. There was a little brook running through the middle giving the sound of moving water to the back ground

The sky was the brightest blue and the sun rays danced in and out of the little clouds. Then she saw them, a man and a wolf standing side by side. Looking at them in the distance, Artemis danced around Adira’s feet and then took off at a run towards their two visitors. Adira couldn’t help herself she took off running too.

The closer she got the more she realized who the visitors were, Duncan and Apollo. She ran even faster till finally she was leaping into Duncans arms, laughing in complete happiness. The pain was all forgotten, as Duncan twirled her around and around.

Once their joy subsided a little, Adira asked

Artemis.. “Where are me, Arty?

“We are in my realm little one. This is where I stay when I am apart from you.”

“You couldn’t take any more of the pain, I think whomever gave us that poison ment to kill us eventually. Duncan and Apollo saved you by marking you and I took everyone here. We will all be here till the sun rises again. Then we go home, we have to follow the rules of the Goddess though to do so, I will explain that later and don’t be alarmed if time moves slower here than out there.”

“Now we play, relax and then learn each other.” Artemis backed away and then came at Adira at a full run , knocking her down. Adira was laughing so hard, Artemis was using her snout and teeth to tickle her.

Duncan was laughing at them both as he was hit from behind by Apollo, next thing he knew Apollo was doing the same thing to him, all you could hear were giggles and playful growls.

Mayson’s thought he was a bit creepy, his sense of humor was a bit too dark.

Joann was the quiet one,she barely spoke more than five words all night. She did laugh at all her husbands jokes though. Which seemed to encourage his over confident attitude.

They were very happy when the evening came to an end and it was time for them to part ways. They said their good byes, and when they got into their car both of them gave a sigh of relief.

She smirked at him as she sat his piece in front of him. Together they toasted each other, she drank all her wine down in one gulp and he smiled.
