THIRD PERSON'S POV:-

　　Elijah sat up on the bed and gently laid Artemis down on the bed. He covered her body with a comforter. He leaned in and pecked her forehead lovingly for the one last time. Wiping his tears, he walked towards his clothes. He grabbed them from the ground and wore his clothes. He still looked like a mess. But he didn't care. The one who wanted to see him all groomed up, was no longer breathing. He turned to look at her. New set of tears began streaming from his eyes as he looked at her face. She looked so calm and beautiful even when she was no more. It looked like she was just sleeping peacefully in her bed. It felt like nothing happened to her.

　　Elijah turned his face awas because he couldn't look at her face anymore. He wanted to rip his own heart out so he could sleep with her too. He was about to turn the door knob to open the door. But just then, he heard something. Something that was impossible to hear. He didn't dare turn around and look. His mind was playing games with him. "It's just my mind playing games with me. It is not true. She is gone. She is never coming back. Just stop this. I don't want to hear this. She is gone. SHE IS GONE!" Elijah tried to remind himself again and again that she was gone. But his mind didn't have a bit of mercy over him.

　　It kept making him listen to all these things. Things he didn't want to listen to. He just wanted her to rest in peace. He yelled loudly for his mind to shut up. But it still kept playing games with him. "Are you talking about Alisa? Is she gone? Good news. That bitch left your whole kitchen trashed." Elijah's eyes widened in surprise as he heard that same voice but with the words he had not heard before. He turned around to confirm his senses with his own two eyes. If it was actually happening. If he heard those words right. Tears started flowing freely from his eyes as he made his way towards the bed. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets any moment.

　　Elijah sat down on the edge of the bed. He rubbed his eyes again and again for this illusion to go away. But it looked so real. He saw his dead baby girl sitting on the bed. There was a confused frown on her face. She was staring at his face. She pulled the comforter off of her body and crawled up on his lap. Without saying a word, she wrapped his arms around his neck. "I am not going to ask you now. But you are worrying me. Please don't cry, Eli. You are not the only one who's chest hurts when you look at my tears. I am feeling the same right now." Artemis whispered in his ear in a gentle tone while rubbing her hand gently on his back.

　　Elijah still couldn't believe it. Not until he felt that too. As always, as soon as they hugged, their hearts started beating in sync. Elijah broke into tears as he finally wrapped his arms around her. "Oh my God! My God! You are alive. You are alive. Thank God, you are alive." Elijah kept on repeating himself as he rocked Artemis back and forth in his arms. To make him stop crying, she tried to pull away from him but he didn't let her pull away. He wanted to hold her close to his chest so she would never get hurt again. Or worse, she would leave him behind to live all alone.

　　Artemis was worried about him. She was not sure what actually happened to him. Or why he was behaving like that. He fell asleep fine. That's what she thought. An idea popped up into her head and she smirked mischievously. Artemis tiltied her head and bit the sensitive skin of Elijah's neck. He growled in annoyance but didn't let go. She licked his neck, making him shiver in desire. Elijah pulled away from her and threw her on the bed. Before she could understand what was happening to her, Elijah was on top of her. His face was on her neck, licking, kissing and biting her beautiful pale skin. Artemis was breathing heavily. She was trying to keep on breathing. But it was getting impossible.

　　It felt like a frustration, an anger that he was pulling out. He was not aggressive as always. But his touches were different. There was a fear in his actions. A fear of losing her. A fear of loneliness. A fear to live without being able to breathe. Artemis wrapped her arms around his waist. She had to used his fighting style to flip them over. As she got on top, she intertwined her fingers with his fingers. Before he could have done anything to her, Artemis' lips were on Elijah's lips. She kissed him softly, calming him down moment by moment. She poured all her feelings inside that kiss. Telling him how close they had been to each other. It was to calm him down.

　　She couldn't think of another thing. Elijah was not letting her speak. He was not answering her questions. When Artemis pulled away from him, he was finally awake. That's how she felt. "Are you alright? You are scaring me. What is wrong with you?" Artemis asked Elijah in a calmed tone while staring into his eyes.

　　"I am the one who is supposed to ask you that question. You scared the hell out of me. What is wrong with you? What kind of sick prank it really was? Why would you did something so cruel to me?" Elijah was yelling at her for the first time like that. He was angry and terrified at the same time. He wasn't even sure what was happening.

　　Artemis pouted as always. She was just confused. She didn't understand why Elijah was suddenly so angry at her. "Eli! You know me better. You know I hate pranks. And I don't pull the bloody pranks. What is going on?" Artemis yelled back at Elijah, trying to ask him the reason of all that. Her bedroom door burst open and the pack stepped into the room.

　　Artemis turned her head to look at them all, behaving weirdly. The room filled with shrieks full of terror. Artemis hid herself in Elijah's chest. "Ghost!" Ryan screamed loudly. Hearing Ryan, Artemis also started screaming. She jumped off of Elijah's lap and ran towards the paak members. As they were all already terrorized, they all joined Artemis. Screaming their lungs out, they all ran towards the elevator.

　　Artemis was running behind them. The pack members thought of her as a ghost. While Artemis was running from this unknown ghost everyone was so scared of. A loud howl made them all freeze into their places. Artemis turned her head and looked at Elijah. Artemis ran back towards Elijah. She jumped into his arms to find the comfort she could only get in his arms.

　　---------------------------------------------------------

　　Everyone was standing in line. Artemis was standing behind Elijah. One of her arms was wrapped around his waist from behind. She was peeking through the gap between his right arm and the side of his torso. "She is not a ghost. Ghosts doesn't kiss. Nor they try to seduce. She is alive, for the love of God." Elijah growled at everyone because they were scaring Artemis.

　　Artemis stepped out, staring at everyone. Elijah patted her head then ruffled her hair. "It's impossible. Grey checked her. Daniel checked her. You checked her. I bathed her and stitched her up. Gregory checked for her pulse thoroughly. How is this possible?" Lauren asked Elijah in a low tone while staring at Artemis.

　　Artemis had no idea what was happening. She was just staring at all the faces, hoping she would learn something. "They are all afraid because they think you are the ghost. You died a few hours back. We all checked it. You didn't have a heartbeat. I couldn't feel your wolf. Your body was full of bruises and cuts." Elijah finally told Artemis the reason everyone was so panicked.

　　As Artemis heard Elijah, she started laughing hysterically. As crazy as it would sound, even Artemis couldn't believe it. "You are joking. I am standing in front of you. If I would have died, I wouldn't be standing here." Artemis asked everyone while laughing at them. When no one laughed with her, she sobered up. She knew everyone was dead serious.

　　Artemis turned to look at Elijah's face. He had the same look on his face. "Come on, man. Give her a break. She is as lost as we are. Just comfort her already. We can ask her everything later." Dean growled at Elijah angrily as he also noticed Artemis panicking.

　　"Everything is fine. Everyone, just leave us alone for a while. Go back home. Get some rest. We will talk about it tomorrow on a meeting." Elijah tiredly announced for the pack. The all nodded their heads and scattered away. Elijah pulled Artemis in his arms and threw her on his shoulder. Artemis was giggling as Elijah carried her to the kitchen.

　　Elijah sat her down on the kitchen counter. He leaned in and captured her lips. Giggling softly, Artemis kissed him back. Elijah pulled away from her and knelt down on the ground. Artemis was breathing heavily while biting her nails. She saw a mischievous look in Elijah's eyes as he knelt down. He parted her legs and buried his face between her legs.

　　Elijah grabbed her underwear and ripped them off. Artemis closed her eyes as he started eating her. She was scratching the doors of the cabinets as he ate her. Slowly, intimately, Elijah was teasing her clitoris with the tip of his tongue. Elijah pushed his two fingers inside her pussy without warning. Artemis gasped loudly as he suddenly pushed his fingered inside her.

　　Elijah was fingering her hard while licking her clitoris. "Elijah! I am gonna cum. Please, make me cum." Artemis was pleading Elijah not to stop. Elijah rolled her clitoris between his teeth and Artemis cried in pleasure. She came hard, splashing her warm cum all over the kitchen's floor. Elijah stood up and kissed her again. He was making her taste her own cum.

　　Elijah pulled his zipper down and pulled his cock out. It was hard as rock and was throbbing. Elijah pushed it inside Artemis' pussy without lubrication. It made her gasp loudly. It felt almost the same as it happened when she was having sex with him for the very first time. "Ouch! That hurts. Are you punishing me for something? Be gentle. I am not your toy." Artemis yelled at Elijah angrily while she was punching his chest to be gentle with her. Elijah didn't realize it until her heard her whincing in pain.

　　"Oh God! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Lete me make you feel better, baby girl." He whispered softly in her ear as one of his hands travelled towards her pussy.

　　He started teasing her pussy so she would feel better. The pain soon subsided. Artemis nodded her head at him. He smiled and started thrusting his cock in and out of her. He was rough but he was careful not to hurt her. He just wanted to feel her body with his again. He wanted her hear her moans. He didn't want to punish her at all. Whatever had happened, it was not her fault at all. She was as puzzled as the others were.

　　Elijah was growling in pleasure. He was getting closer to his ecstasy. As he didn't wait to wear any condom, he pulled his cock out of her pussy. Elijah was stroking his cock while Artemis was playing with herself. Elijah growled loudly as he came hard. He spilled his warm see a over her left thigh. Seeing hi shooting his cum, Artemis also reached her limits. She let go and came hard. She splashed her cum on Elijah. Elijah walked towards her and engulfed her in his arms again. "Don't be afraid. I am here. Everything is fine now." Elijah whispered in her ear while rubbing her her
