Chapter 26

(Tiernan’s P.O.V)

Fuck my life. Like seriously, of course, Artemis would show up while I’m trying to woo my mate.

Your grandfather wants to speak with you, Tiernan. I hear Artemis say in my head.

If you couldn’t tell, I’m trying to woo my mate. Grandpa can wait another hour. Please, Artemis, just tell him to give me an hour. Pulling me in would cause unwanted attention right now. I beg my familiar.

I will tell him, but he will only give you an hour. Not a second longer. He states, before flying off.

“That was so weird. Literally, that bird was just sitting there staring at us not moving an inch!” Siobhan states creeped out by Artemis’s behavior.

I think it’s time that we tell her. Steele whispers.

I think so too, but not in the middle of the restaurant. When we are driving home, I will.

“Kitten, I’m sorry to cut dinner short but we need to head back to the hotel. Patrick texted me and said he needed my opinion on something that couldn’t wait.” I lie.
