Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

Artemis P.O.V

I was still clawing at the man when the door burst open and I was dragged from him. I was about to attack the person who grabbed me when I felt the sparks and calmed down.

I looked at the scene in front of my in horror. It wasn't the blood and what I've done that scared me. What scared me what that it felt like my body was being controlled by something and now I'm scared that it'll happen again and I might hurt K.C.

"What happened here?" Elijah demanded.

Still looking down at the body covered in claw marks I simply said, "He tried to rape me."

I walked out the closet only to be ambushed by Cortney and Tessa.

"Omg, Artemis are you ok? We couldn't find you we looked everywhere." Courtney said hugging me.

"Why are you covered in blood?" Tessa asked worried.

"Someone tried to rape me so I ripped him to shreds." I said shrugging.

"I'm so sorry this happened. Let's get you home so you can take a shower and change." Courtney said.

While I showered Courtney and Tessa waited on the couch while Elijah went to his office to do whatever.

While I was changing I started feeling weird. I felt so powerful but it was gone as soon as it came almost feeling like it was never there. Brushing it off I went to where Tessa and Courtney were.

"Do you guys want anything to eat?" I asked as I went to the kitchen.

"Yeah, can you bring me some ice-cream? Thanks!" Courtney said.

"Courtney!" Tessa scolded.

"What? She asked." Courtney said.

"It's ok!" I said laughing. Suddenly I felt something crash into my leg. I looked down to see K.C.

"Mommy can I get ice-cream too?" She asked looking up at me.

"Sure sweetie." I said taking out two tubs of ice-cream and walking out of the kitchen turning off the light.

"Aww." Courtney cooed. "She's the cutest little thing I've ever seen."

"Wait, you're a mom?" Tessa asked looking between me and K.C.

"Not exactly. But yeah." I said walking to the couch with K.C. hiding behind my leg.

"Um- about tonight." Tessa started. I sighed.

"Yeah, we're sorry about what happened. If we just stayed home and had a normal sleepover all that wouldn't have happened." Courtney finished.

"Guys it's ok! I deal with this type of stuff all the time." I said handing a tub of ice-cream to Courtney.

Changing the subject Tessa said, "I wanted ice-cream too.." We looked at her then started laughing.

"What should we watch?" I asked after I came back with Tessa's ice-cream. Whoever stacked the refrigerator with ice-cream is gonna be furious when they find out.

"I don't know. Let's just watch a random movie." Tessa said throwing her hands up.

We ended up watching a really scary movie which got me a little spooked. I looked to see K.C. sleeping and Tessa and Courtney hugging the life out of each other.

I got up to get some water when I heard shuffling behind me. I grabbed a knife when a hand grabbed my shoulder. Grabbing the person hand and twisting it behind their back I kicked their knees making them fall to the floor in a kneeling position.

I held the knife at the person neck ready to slice if I needed to.

"Are you ok Artemis? I heard a commotion." Tessa said coming into the kitchen and turning on the light.

"Oh my God!" Courtney exclaimed.

"Artemis are you out of you mind?!?" Tessa said.

Seeing the confusion on my face Tessa said, "Why are you trying to kill our beta?" I looked down at the blonde who was calm as if I didn't have a knife at his neck.

"It ok ladies." Said the beta when I removed the knife from his neck. "I shouldn't sneak up on people like this." He said shrugging it off.

"I'm so sorry beta Cole. She's new here and she doesn't know how things work yet." Courtney said.

"A soon to be new member? Elijah never told me anything about her. I'll ask him later." Cole said as he walked to the fridge.

"What the hell?" He suddenly exclaimed. "Who the fuck ate all my ice-cream?" He said making Courtney and Tessa turn pale.

"Beta Cole-" Tessa started before I cut her off.

"I did it." I said making him turn to me.

"What?" He said. I rolled my eyes.

"I said I ate your ice-cream. What are you gonna do about it?" I said folding my arms across my chest.

"Artemis-" Courtney started before she was cut off.

"I like her." Cole said smiling. Suddenly I heard K.C. laughing then what sounded like a yelp. I rushed to the living room to see K.C. playing with a blonde wolf tugging on it's fur.

"K.C. what did I tell you about pulling furs." I said as K.C. tugged the wolf hair pulling out a little.

"Sowwy mommy." She said looking down.

"It's ok. Just don't do it because it hurts ok?" I said picking her up. She nodded.

"Let's get you to bed." I said bringing her to my room.

It's been a long day.

Elijah P.O.V

As soon as I arrived back at the pack house I immediately went to my office. When I dragged Artemis away from that man it was like she or her wolf wasn't themselves. She just kept clawing at him. When I got there his face was unrecognizable and he was already dead yet she didn't stop. Her eyes was a shade darker if that's even possible and they had this dazed look in them as if she was being controlled by something.

After hours of looking I found nothing. Deciding to continue looking tomorrow I sighed running a hand through my hair. Cole my beta just came back from his trip meaning I haven't told him about Artemis yet.

Just then the door to my office burst open. Looking up I saw Cole.

"The new member is so cool. She ate my ice-cream then dared to ask what I'm gonna do about it. So badass. Who is she?" He asked sitting in front of me.

"Artemis Victorian. She's a rogue who stumbled upon our pack." I said. I never told Cole about her job because aren't those things supposed to be kept a secret or something?

"She's hot too." He said smirking and leaning back in the chair. "But not my type."

I sighed in relief. "Do you know anything about a werewolf being controlled?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"No. What happened?" He asked.

"I'll tell you tomorrow. How was France?" I asked him.

"It was... interesting." He said. "Any luck on finding your mate?" He asked.

"I did find her but I think I kinda messed up." I said.

"Congrats man. I happy for you. I hope you figure things out." Cole says. "You guys are making me feel so lonely. Maybe I'll go ask out that new girl. She's so hot I think I'm straight again." Cole said getting up. Alex growled making Cole stop.

"Oh, I see. Good luck. I think you're gonna need it." Cole said walking out the door.

Deciding to call it a night I walked out of my office closing the door behind me. I walked to my room wondering if Artemis was still awake. Probably not. I walked into the shower ready for another sleepless night.
