Alfred

There was a part of me I hated, ever since I heard about her. That part of me landed her in that dark room because of what she had done and said to me. I could have go when my wolf howled in my head. I should have let it go but I was already looking for a reason to hate her and to punish her. A new reason.

I loved it and the same time hated it. I replayed the scene where I was staring at her from behind the glass as she lay there intubated, so she could breathe. My heart broke that time I saw her but I had no feelings for her whatsoever, so I didn't know why it hurt this much.

Ever since then, I haven't gone to see her and I do not intend to. Although I have been by her side every night, there was still no news of when she would be awake. The doctors were still trying to run some tests but she had not woken up since she collapsed. The scans were not showing anything and it was frustrating being kept in the dark. I drowned myself with a bottle of scotch to accompany me because

    FredaEverywhere felt strange, every time I looked around. The smell of antiseptic felt so bland that I felt like emptying my stomach. Apart from that, I kept having the same recurring dream, spinning in my head like vinyl. Sophia and Kale were the first people I saw and it made me happy that I wasn't alone. It felt good for the first time. I remembered everything that happened, the darkness that seemed to settle inside my head after staying in an empty room for the longest time.I felt nothing but pain because I didn't think it was going to be this bad. I just felt pain for a second and barely a day because I was used to what I had gotten from Alfred. This wasn't something I expected. There were times I heard voices but I was trapped and didn't know how to react. Sophia informed me about my response, which came in twitching or squeezing her hands. She said she knew I was going to get better. There was a part of me that wished that I was dead, I could have just passed from there but

    Freda."How do you know my name?" That was my first response to his gesture. He tucked his hands back into his coat as he thinned his lips. It seemed that he expected my reaction. He was an average man, his brown hair was mixed with grey, quite elderly. From the way he spoke, it felt like he knew me and that made me scared.I wandered off into the infirmary alone and if anything happened to me out here, no one would be able to find me. I started thinking about finding my way back to where I came from, where I would be safe. Then, other people moved into the lobby, so I wasn't completely alone. Although, it was hard to trust someone around here because you could be rated out quickly without any struggle."I'm an Elderly man and words tend to go around. ""If word flew around then it is obvious that no one wants my safety. Everyone seems to want to kill me before my time. Don't you agree?" I said to him, He wondered inquisitively."I don't agree with you though. The best place you could

    FredaIt's been days and my recovery has been slower than usual. The pain in my chest was slowly subsiding and there was only much I could handle. I was taking the pace as easy as I could. Although it was difficult to eat as much as I would have loved to, it wasn't easy because I was still down with a sore throat. For some reason, I wanted to see Alfred even when I knew he was going to be an ass to me, I just wanted to know he was going to be around me.The idea of being alone scared me more than anything and I just wanted to be assured. The night in the darkroom still scared the hell out of me and each time I wanted to get past it, something always took me to the dream. I was in my room eating when a knock distracted me from my thoughts."Hello." Kale peeped through the door, grinning. I grimaced not knowing what he was this excited about. I loved that I had company but I didn't know what to make of his friendship with me. It saddens me that I had nothing other than good gestures to

    Freda"Sophia?"She grinned, as she composed herself like she was caught doing something terrible. A bowl was sitting in her hands, bringing it forward to my face."Okay, what's this?" I tried to open the napkin but she spoke ahead of me."Apple pie. I didn't know if you would want dinner so I brought you this instead. The doctors would be here any minute to check on you."I groaned internally. I thought I was done with the doctors, I realized that I was still feeling a bit nauseous but I was tired from all the poking needles. But I knew better than to believe Sophia checking up on me. She was here for something else.I let her in and I gently closed the door."Did you come here because you saw me leaving earlier?""No." She avoided eye contact as she lied. I narrowed my eyes at her without breaking a sweat. "Fine! I hate it when you look at me that way." I shook my head wondering why she was bothered by the little things that were pretty much not a big deal to me. I was grateful tha

    AlfredI haven't felt this kind of loneliness before. I fought through the waves that were putting me under. I have been thinking of her and everything she's been through. The worst-case scenario has happened because I tried putting myself in her shoes, she must be so alone. I bought her off and the least I could do was be nice but still, the lack of distrust has settled deep within me and I see nothing but red anytime she is in the picture. That was how irritated I felt, my irritation for something like this was making my skin crawl.I saw a small pool of her blood at the center of her room and the memories of my deeds haunted me. I stood there staring and picturing her, wondering if she had a smile. Then I remembered every time I took that smile from her face and locked it in a dark room. The number of times I punished her through several means. I was creative in making her suffer, in increasing her pain and that seemed not to end because someone had actually taken it too far. Too f

    Alfred It was difficult to leave Freda at the hospital. I feared the worst was still yet to happen. There wasn't much to do anymore, it was to wait for her to wake up. I stared at her for just one more time before I stormed out of the room. I hurried to the hall where they all assembled. I could smell the fear they had in them as they saw me walking into the room. Kale stood beside me and a few guards too. Every one of the staff was present, with their head low avoiding eye contact. "I gathered you guys here to address an issue." I began, balling my fist and controlling my anger. "Earlier today, one of my guests that had been living with us for some time now was found in a pool of her own blood. You guys must have met her or heard of her. Freda was found in her room, head dashed to the ground. Several tests confirmed that the fall was deliberate which means someone pushed her. I do not need to tell you that I'm looking for the culprit, I'm giving you guys a chance to check yoursel

    Alfred’s POVI felt my world repairing itself when she squeezed my hands. It felt like I could finally breathe. It was something I didn't expect, the pain that built up inside me subsided. It was that small nudge of her consciousness that gave me hope, it made me realize that she was going to recover soon and fast. Although the timing felt like forever, it was something that I was holding on to. Kale was with me throughout, not failing to remind me that it was entirely my fault that she was in that situation. He was right. I have failed as a mate and an Alpha if I couldn't protect someone who I took under my wing. No matter the means I brought her in, I made her my responsibility and that was entirely my choice. In every way, I have been reminded that I have failed, in more ways and that was my punishment. The excitement died down each time I thought of how I failed her. I fought myself and wondered about different scenarios in how I was going to face her. The guilt ate me up slowl

    Alfred's POVI felt my heart sink when Leon came to break the news to me. Nothing felt shocking like that in the real sense. So many questions rummaged in my thoughts that it was so difficult to keep up with them.Why is he here? How did he know about Freda? Did they know each other before she came here? Or is she working with him?The last two questions were the most difficult to process because I knew I did a background check before everything went to shits. It was difficult because my guts were never wrong. I didn't think Feeda had the time to socialize much or to work for anyone, not to talk of Noah of all people. She was still confused about the nature of our being. I knew that Freda must have sensed some weird thing going on with the pack and she was doing a very good job at hiding it. The guards wanted to accompany me as I made my way to where Noah waited for me. I stopped in my tracks as I was distracted by the different steps following me. "I want to do this alone. You all c

    Freda's POV "Kale we have to do something, I am tired of waiting." I gritted in anger as everything flooded my face. The melody of one entering the mansion and the sudden seeking of me losing him. I haven't been able to sleep because I saw him in my dreams from time to time. Most times, tortured. Other times because he wanted to break. It wasn't hard to know that he was not having the best time of his life. "Kaden will be here soon, we can't do anything without him. He has the book." My emotions became so unstable, I could only feel the wind holding my hair in the air as I became so angry. "Freda?! Control, you have to control yourself." I felt Vanna's hands on me. I snapped out of my anger, seeing how everything was so disoriented. I felt so numb, falling to my seat. I couldn't bring myself to feel pain, that was all I was feeling for the past few days since Alfred surrendered himself. "I don't know why he would surrender himself. He doesn't have the right to give up like tha

    Freda's POV It was clear that he could see through me. My pain was not something I could hide no matter how much I tried. "If you want to lie to me, look me in the eye and do it with courage." I tried but I couldn't. I sighed. I think I was doing that too often because sometimes my emotions were more than words and I just couldn't express it at times. "You haven't been forthcoming with your emotions since the last time we argued. What is jerking you up at night? I don't recall knowing I feel something is going on and you don't want to bother me or something. I love you, Alfred but I do not want you to suffer alone." I asked him. If he was hopefully going to let me in on what was happening, maybe I would be able to find the words as to why I was feeling that way. There was no word yet that would simplify all of what I was seeking at that point. He feigned confusion. "What are you talking about?" I placed my hands on his chest and paused. Where do I begin? I asked myself. "You'v

    Freda's POV It was time for the Luna ceremony and I didn't even have time for myself. I enjoyed every bit of it that I didn't want to end. The bonfire afterward was the funniest, we got to share experiences and sing a lot of folk songs. The goal, according to Alfred, was to bring the old tradition back and make sure it stayed with us. That way, we get to teach the next generation the values we uphold not just as an individual, but as a pack. It was my favorite part of the ceremony other than the initiation. During the initiation, I saw the knife and the way everyone had to draw blood out of their skin. The pain on my lingered for a while but it still didn't heal like it used to. Alfred held my hand and wrapped a gauze on it immediately. He always paid attention to little details which I appreciated. It didn't take time but I was bound to the pack by blood now. My strength was their strength and my weakness was their weakness. I was expecting a more barbaric act to this, but then I

    Freda's POV Early this morning, we both had a moment after our fight. It was a moment that was burnt in my memory. I had the best night of my life and it all happened unexpectedly. Feeling him that close was what I have always wanted and it finally did. I had to swallow my moans so I wouldn't be too loud but Alfred didn't seem to care. At first, he was gentle with me before went tough on me. The journey of love was never-ending, no matter how hard we tried to ignore it. After the realization of last night, I really wanted to take the day off considering that we were not able to take our hands off each other. I was still feeling sore, even after being inside him a few minutes before dawn. I was drifting in and out of sleep but he kept me close to him the entire night and in the morning. He let me sleep, down until when I found the need to freshen up. "Just relax," he whispered in my ear. "There's plenty of time to do that." I was too tired to reply to him or protest against him

    Freda's POV I decided to take Vanna's advice. If I really wanted to know the truth it was best I confirmed the issue. All the worry I had kept inside me wasn't worth my sanity. It was the early hours of the morning and stretched my hands to the other side of the bed only to not find him there. Yet, another night when did not come to the bed, it was almost like he was avoiding me. Which I hated, was he spending his time with Claire? Thinking about it made me jealous to some point that I quickly jumped off the bed in search of him. Why on earth would he be avoiding me? I asked myself over and over. I scheme through the hallway, heading to the study. There was no way he would be anywhere else. I opened the door barging in without knocking. He was drowning himself in alcohol with a bottle of vodka at the side. He was going through some papers, before looking up at me. "You are supposed to be sleeping, Freda." Hearing him call my name sounded more odd than anything else. "You are sup

    Freda's POV VANNA wasn't expecting me yesterday but I had to go see her. I wanted to know how she was settling in since she just got herself this place. She was no longer living in the mansion with us.. I found it tiring since all I had to do was rest. There wasn't really anything to do there but I still had my usual fear about times ahead. Alfred had been with me since the beginning of it all. I thought this day was still far ahead when he brought up the topic of the ceremony last night. Since Kale was back, Alfred wanted to pronounce me as his Luna by performing the ceremony. I didn't think it was this soon but I took it one step after the other. There was no room for overwhelming feelings or doubts, that was all I had though. After his ex showed up, Diane was dead. I just wanted to live in denial for a while. Coming to see Vanna, helped in a way. The Luna ceremony was one of a kind especially if the Luna was going to be initiated into the pack. It was imperative that I do it

I felt the worst was happening to me all over again.Worst of all, it was from Alfred, it was all coming from him."You are telling me right now that your ex has been living with us here in the pack and I just know about it?"Alfred sighed trying to pull me into his embrace. I pushed his hands before he touched me. "You do not understand but I wished I could explain, I just have to go to her right now."I felt my heart drop listening to him. This conversation was clearly important but he was choosing to ignore this just to attend to his needs."This is clearly as important as going to meet her Alfred. You have been cheating on me and you have finally made her pregnant?" I was running several scenarios over time as I pictured them together. There was nothing but pain and this crazy tightness in my chest. I have still not recovered and another pain was added to mine. "No no no. I didn't make her pregnant. I never cheated on you. Trust me, I

    Alfred's POV We held each other close for the better part of the day. Freda had injured herself not once or twice because of harnessing her powers. I hated seeing her hitting herself because she was trying to prove that she could live up to her family's legacy. The doctor claimed that she could go home and there wasn't any reason to keep her here. That was okay with me, her healing abilities were slow and it wasn't a good time to master. I was able to see that beautiful smile again, the lovely goofy attitude. It was certain that she was warming up to be a pain in my neck as usual there wasn't much we were able to say to each other. Our silence held so many words that our hearts were meaning to say. There wasn't much to know about each other because we'd given out union all the parts of ourselves. It was something that came naturally to us. At least right now I am aware that she has given it all from her end, just as I have and there would not be anything holding us back. I love Fre

    Alfred's POV There was serenity in his study. Kaden was an extravagant man, it was clear in the clothes he wore and the way he carried himself. The rumours surrounding him were eventful and no one really knew what was true or lies. Kden loved such thoughts that he welcomed them without clearing the air. Most say he is older than he looks, others say that he was favored by the Fates, and his mom was a respected witch but no one really had NO idea what his mother looked like. Only that she was a slave living under the fist of his father who had died mysteriously. What I did know was that he took the cafe to his father, not in the way ordinary minds would expect. Then he was better than him.The problem between two powerful people occupying the room was that no one was ready to bring down the shoulder for the other. We were both ruthless in our own way and we respected that. I spotted the bar at the side of his elaborate study. "Nice bar. I see the way you arranged your drinks. Qu
