“OK so I have bad news and good news. Which do you want to hear first?” I ask.

“Bad news.” He answered.

“Well too bad I’m giving you the good news first.” I frowned.

He glared at me.

“The good news is, it’s Artemis’s birthday.”

He smiled. “That’s great!”

“The bad news is the girls are going into heat soon.”

His smile fell. “What did you say?”

“I said ‘the bad news is the girls are—”

“I know what you said!” He yelled.

I huffed.

“Rude.” I muttered.

“What are we going to do!?” He yelled.

“I don’t know! They just went shopping. I don’t know when they’ll be back.”

“They left without my consent, or guards!?”

“I think they can take care of themselves.”

“You do realize your mate is with them right?”

“Yes, but they have Artemis.”

He growled. “Just get them back here as soon as possible.”

“They just left. At least let them have some fun.”

“Fine. Send some guards to loom after them. At least five.”

“Alright. Seems reasonable.”

Blake’s POV

Artemis is going into heat.

Hopefully she doesn’t hate me.

‘Why would she hate us? She must be dying mate with us.’ Gavin smirked.

‘Cocky much?’

‘Nope. Not at all. I’m just speaking the truth.’

I rolled my eyes and blocked him out.
