Artemis Pov

“Argh!” I growled from pain, I watched in horror as Freya sunk her sword into me, her eyes were devoid of emotions.

I kneeled frozen, unable to move, my muscles felt weak and for the first time I was vulnerable, my wolf went silent, another strange thing that meant we were accepting defeat.

“Freya,” I choked as blood oozed out from my mouth, I coughed blood, still looking into her eyes, I pleaded.

No! What was I doing, I thought, this could not be my end.

Nooo fight! ...
