ARTEMIS Ethan steps into the center and clears his throat, “ahem. Alright everybody, I know we are all excited here to show the alpha’s what we’ve been working on, but let’s remember our teachings and training. Did everyone stop over the whiteboard to confirm your pairings for today?” All the trainees nod in response. “Great, find your partners and let’s get started.” “Hey,” says Donovan nudging my shoulder, “Wanna pair up?” “Sorry alpha, you couldn’t keep up during our run earlier. I believe I’m way out of your league,” I mock. “Ouch, that one hurt,” he pretends to hold his chest. I kiss his cheek, “there all better.” He smiles and bites his lip. Damn he’s hot. “Anyways, I’m paired up with Cruz one of the recruits, he apparently wants a beating today.” “With that beast?” he exclaimed, shocked. He’s three; no, I take that back four times your size.” “Excuse you, I might be small, but I’m lethal.” I smile back at him and make my way over to Cruz. “Hey giant, you ready?” “B

ARTEMIS I ran straight to my room. What have I done? 'The right thing. He needed to remember us.' 'Why? Is not like that’s going to change anything, he still wants his mystery girl.' 'I don’t know, but something tells me we did the right thing.' 'I hope so, but we have no time to dwell on this we have to get ready for our date.' Forty minutes later while I’m putting the finishing touches on my makeup, Aidan knocks on my door. “Hey babygirl, can I come in?” “Hi, of course. What’s going on?” “I’m here to talk to you about Jaxon, and more specifically I need you to clarify something for me.” I began to worry and sat on the edge of my bed while he took a seat on my vanity facing me. “you two know each other already, don’t you?” “What makes you say that?” “I spoke to him, and he mentioned little details that give me the impression that this isn’t your first meeting. Plus, I know you, like the palm of my hand, and your level of comfort with him is very unlike you.” Chewing on my

JAXON POV It was her. It has always been her. Art is my mystery girl. How could I have missed that? The signs were all there for me, I just couldn’t put the puzzle pieces together. ‘She took our memories of her away,” said Ares in a hurt tone. ‘Why would she do that?’ I sat down on the grass; I couldn’t seem to be able to take myself back down the hill and into my room. I felt stuck, my body couldn’t be bothered to move. ‘Why would she hide from me? Now that my memories are back, I remember we had a great time together, I thought we were both on the same page. We even made plans to see each other a few weeks later in New York. Man, I’m so confused. Ares help me try and understand what just happened.’ ‘The only thing I could think off is that maybe she was scared.’ ‘Of me?’ I asked baffled. ‘Not you, you big baby! Of being exposed.’ ‘What are you going on about now …,” he didn’t let me finish when he interrupted. ‘Think about it Jax, we got here to an island that nobody could

ARTEMIS POV My heart was beating fast, my breath shallow, that magnetic pull was there, drawing us to one another. We were staring at one another from across the field, so far yet so close to one another. Suddenly he was on me, his hands cradling my face, his thumbs caressing my cheeks, his eyes roaming my face as if it was his first time seeing it and he was trying to memorize it. I looked up and got lost in the green of his eyes, they made me feel as if I was roaming through a forest on a spring day. In the gold flecks around his irises there was fire, and electricity, a warm feeling of excitement, but there is also darkness, one that can overshadow his light. All thoughts were lost the moment his lips touched mine, for the next few breaths the earth stood still, nothing else mattered. We were running the risk of being seen, but at that moment everything was perfect. His lips molded perfectly to mine, they were soft, plush, cool, and tasted like pineapples; yum. He grunted, and ra

ARTEMIS POVOh my god, did that just happen? Jaxon said I was his mystery girl, we kissed and gods what a kiss. I’ve never been that intimate with a man before, makes me wonder how would going all the way be like with him. I’m so turned on right now, all I can think about is him, what if I went to his room? Would he rip my clothes off and make his devious ways with me? What if …‘Don’t even think about it,’ warns Selena.‘You know you want to!”‘Duh! But you know we can’t, and one of us needs to keep the other in check obviously, since your hormones are going haywire right now,’ she scuffed.‘Ughhhh, I hate it when you’re right,’ I groaned. ‘Besides I’m not ready to go into heat.’‘Although the idea of being stuck being nailed and pleasured by Ares and Jax for days sounds like heaven right now.’‘Ha, yet you talk about me, horndog!’‘Hey, you started it, with your perverted ass thoughts.’‘Yep, I need an ice shower. ASAP.’‘Please do, you’re starting to sweat pheromones. Do I have to
