[Freya's]As I slowly forced my eyelids to open, I could feel a numbness spreading throughout my body. My eyelids were puffy, and when I opened them, it felt like there was an extra weight on them."Where am I?" I whispered gently as I attempted to lift my leg, but it was lifeless and did not move even with my assistance. When I looked up, I noticed that a drip was already being supplied to my right hand, and then I looked away.After observing the state of the room and the presence of the drip, I realized that I am at a medical facility. The question is, how in the world did I get here? I have no idea. I attempted to lift my arms, and as I did so, they moved quickly. I felt myself gradually becoming more at ease.The last thing I could remember was getting dizzy after reading a text message on my phone, and I believe it was because of the content of the message. What happened after the dizziness is beyond my ability to recall at this point.When I was still trying to piece together h
[Fergus Noah's]"I will not be attending that party!" I replied as I stood in front of my father, who was sitting on the couch in the living room. "Had I realized that this was the reason you asked me to come down here, I would not have come!""Fergus, you need to stop acting like a child! I phoned you earlier and informed you about the party, and you mentioned that you are going to be heading back home shortly. You are expected to be there at Isla's party given that the two of you are planning to get engaged soon."I did remember him telling me earlier, but I guess I was distracted when I pledged to go to the party. "It makes no difference to me at all! And I still haven't agreed to go through with the engagement!" I became so angry that I yelled at him."I'm sorry, Fergus, but I've already told you this: to become the Alpha with the most power, you need Isla Douglas. She is the only person who would leave you with no one else to compete with!" My dad uttered calmly."I never had to
Right after Isla had departed, her mother went and got the microphone from the person who was anchoring the party, so she could talk to the guests."To begin, I would want to extend my sincerest apologies for the rude behaviour that my daughter displayed in front of you all just now. She has just arrived home from school and seems to be taken aback by everything, which is appropriate given that it is a surprise from me. I guess you all parents can understand what I'm saying. I appreciate everyone, and I hope you have a good time at the party."After making her remark, she hastily excused herself from the party before handing the microphone back to the anchor. As soon as she left the room, the atmosphere was filled with murmuring. The vast majority of the attendees expressed their displeasure with Isla's poor demeanour even though they were in public.While others were pointing the blame at her parents, saying, they had raised her to be a pampered child who has lost all respect for oth
"Dad," Isla said and dashed up to her father in an instant to hug him. She was in his embrace when tears suddenly began streaming down her cheeks in copious amounts."Don't worry love, your papa is here now!" A soothing stroke to the back of her head from Mr Douglas calms down his child.Seeing how everyone's eyes were penetrating straight into my body, I couldn't help but resist the urge to try to meet the stare of any of them. Considering that I have been highly harsh towards Isla from the very beginning, I have no idea how much of what I said that they heard."Take responsibility for your statements and restate what you just said to my daughter!" As he carefully pulled Isla away from his embrace, Mr Douglas gave off the impression that he was beyond himself with rage. I refrained from speaking and simply turned my head away. "Since you've admitted on your own that my daughter isn't your type, I'm afraid we'll have to call off this engagement!"The unexpected nature of his remark c
[Freya's]"Boss, please give me a little time. I promise to deliver the girl to you as soon as possible.""I can't believe you're making me wait, woman! Are you aware that the interest on your loan is also increasing daily?""I know, boss, and that's why I'm trying to acquire some cash and send them to you before the beginning of next month." "Okay... When can we expect to see the girl's power in its full manifestation?""My guess is when she's twenty years old.""You guess?!""N-no! I'm certain boss! Once she reaches the age of twenty, the world will finally get to know the real her!""And it's just some months to this time, right?""Yes, boss, in exactly half a year!""Good... I expect her to be by my side soon, so, I will give you three months to finally hand her over to me if that is good with you.""That's cool, Boss, but there's something I need to talk to you about... She----""Nana, I'm going to work." Suddenly, I get up and start walking out of the room to notify my grandmot
"Should I walk up to where he is and confront him?" The words came out of Michelle's mouth all of a sudden as she continued to angrily stare at the man."Huh? Don't even think of doing such!" I immediately stop her from walking over to the man by dragging her back. "What if it's simply a coincidence, and he wasn't even paying attention to me the whole time, just like you think he was? Please don't allow the new boss to get angry with us if you can't help it. That gentleman is still one of our customers.""Hmm, but I'm so sure he has been looking at you intently all this time. I decided to keep an eye on him for a time to make sure I was right, and it turned out that I was." Assuredly, Michelle stated her opinion."Just forget about it, Michelle; you are making too much out of nothing." My reaction was accompanied by a fleeting glance in the direction of the man, but he turned his head away from me as soon as he saw it. "As you can see, he has stopped staring at me inappropriately. Let
At about six O'Clock in the morning, Fergus woke up feeling unrest, as he was lost in his thoughts. 'I think visiting doctor Mark is what I should do today without any further hesitation!' Fergus thought to himself. He immediately stood up and heads straight to the bathroom. After some minutes, Fergus got out of the bathroom and got prepared for his trip to meet with doctor Mark. When it was 8 O'clock later that morning, he arrived at the hospital's receptionist area. "Good morning sir," The receptionist greeted him with a warm smile. "Good morning ma'am, please I'm here to meet with doctor Mark," he responded to her greeting and told her who he came to see. "Do you have an appointment with him sir?" She asked politely. "Yes, I do... Please do check!" He answered calmly. "Okay, I will do that sir... Please give me a minute," She replied, as she quickly checked her book to see if there is an appointment. "Sir, your appointment is for 9 am, but it seems the doctor is free for no
It was past 8 p.m. when a young man who appeared to be in his mid-thirties, rushed into the house with his driver by his side. "What in the world took place?" When he asked, his hands were shaking out of fear, and his voice was tense, which made him nervous.There were two elderly nannies in the living room, and they had been pacing back and forth in anticipation of his arrival. However, as soon as they heard his voice, they were required to stop moving and remain still. Because this is their boss, Mr Douglas, they were compelled to behave appropriately while he was in the room with them."Just a few minutes ago, her water broke! There was nothing else for us to do, but to get in touch with you right away, Sir." One of those two women responded with her head cocked to the side and slightly buried in her chest."If that is the case, then where is my wife? How is she doing at this moment? She must seem to be in a lot of pain. Have you taken her to the hospital yet?" Mr Douglas demanded
★[Freya's POV]★I sat at her desk, staring at her laptop with a frown on my face. I had just received her latest bill for rent and utilities, and it was higher than I had expected. I knew i needed to start earning some money to help cover the costs, but i wasn't sure where to start.My best friend Mitchell walked into the room, and I looked up to greet her."Hey, Mitch," I said, with a sigh. "I just got my bill for the month, and it's way higher than I thought it would be. I need to start earning some money."Mitchell sat down next to me, putting her arm around my shoulders. "Don't worry, Freya. We'll figure it out. Have you thought about getting a job?"I nodded. "Yeah, but I'm not sure where to start. I've never worked and also study before, and I don't have any experience with such lifestyle."Mitchell grinned. "That's not a problem. We can start by looking online for part-time jobs that are suitable for students like us."I brightened at the suggestion. "That's a good idea. Where
★[Fergus POV]★As I walked into Jayden's room, I immediately noticed that something was wrong. His bed was unmade, his clothes were scattered all over the floor, and he was nowhere to be seen.I called out his name, but there was no response. I searched the room frantically, looking for any clues as to where he might have gone. But there was nothing.I turned to my security men, hoping that they would have some answers. But they too were at a loss. None of them had seen or heard anything suspicious.I felt a wave of panic wash over me. Jayden had become like family to me, and the thought of him being in danger was unbearable.I immediately called for backup, instructing my security men to search the house and the surrounding area for any sign of Jayden.

What if he had run away?But after hours of searching, we finally found him
★[Fergus POV]★I was still in the room I was kept and bound by my hands and feet when I suddenly heard a loud blast from the outside and I couldn't get what was happening, but I was sure that it was something serious.As I strained against the ropes that bound me, I listened carefully, trying to determine the source of the commotion. It sounded like gunfire, and my heart began to race as I realized that I might be in serious danger.I strained against the ropes again, trying to free myself, but they held firm. I cursed under my breath, feeling frustrated and powerless.Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside the door, and my heart leapt into my throat. Were they coming for me?The door burst open, and I saw a figure silhouetted against the bright light of the hallway. For a moment, I couldn't make out who it was, but then I saw the uniform and realized that it was a member of the local police force."Are you all right?" the officer asked, rushing over to untie me.I nodded, feeling a sens
★[Freya's POV]★I decided to visit Emily my friend and her brother Mr. Richards and I was shocked when the guard I met at the gate told me that they no longer resides there and I was thrown into a very deep thought of what must have happened. As a woman, I couldn't help but feel concerned for Emily and her brother. I wondered why they would suddenly move out without informing me, their close friend. My mind raced with all kinds of possibilities - had they been in some kind of trouble? Were they in danger? I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right.I asked the guard if he knew anything more about their sudden departure, but he simply shrugged and told me he wasn't at liberty to say. Frustrated and worried, I decided to head back home and try to get in touch with Emily and her brother as soon as possible.As I drove back, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

★[Freya's POV]★I was at work when I received a call from Mitchell my friend, she broke the good news to me about the university we have both been applying for, that their admission list was out and she had checked for both of us with our names among the admitted students.

All the hard work, late nights and stress had finally paid off.I felt an immense sense of pride and accomplishment knowing that I had achieved one of my life goals.But at the same time, a sense of nervousness crept in. Going to university would be a huge change for me - leaving my hometown, meeting new people and facing new challenges.

★[Fergus POV]★I woke up in the morning and I decided to check on Jayden the boy I had helped into my house in his room and I was shocked to find him not in the room and only saw a piece of paper with a note telling me that u shouldn't bother looking for him, that he has gone for good. As soon as I read the note, a wave of confusion and concern washed over me. What could have made Jayden leave without saying goodbye? Was he in some kind of trouble? I couldn't help but feel responsible for him, considering that I had taken him into my house in the first place.I quickly got dressed and started searching the house for any clues or signs of what could have happened. I checked the living room, the kitchen, and even the backyard, but there was no sign of Jayden. I even tried calling his phone, but it went straight to voicemail.As the minutes turned into hours, my worry started to turn into panic. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. I decided to reach out
★[Freya's POV]★As I stepped out of the bathroom, the cold air hit my damp skin, sending shivers down my spine. I quickly wrapped a towel around myself and made my way to the closet to pick out my clothes for the day.As I dressed up, I couldn't help but dwell on the thoughts that had been plaguing my mind for days. The stress of work had been taking a toll on me lately, and I found myself constantly questioning my choices and decisions.I tried to push these thoughts to the back of my mind as I headed out the door, but they kept resurfacing, causing my heart to feel heavy and my steps to falter. I knew I needed to find a solution to this problem, but the answer eluded me.As I walked towards the bus stop, I felt a sense of unease settling in. It was as if the weight of the world was on my shoulders, and I couldn't shake it off.

★[Fergus POV]★As we stood there panting, with our weapons still drawn, I couldn't help but feel a surge of relief that we had emerged victorious from the battle. The rogue werewolves had been causing trouble in the area for weeks now, and it was a relief to finally put an end to their attacks.I looked around at my fellow pack members, all of us bearing wounds and bruises from the fight. We had fought well together, and I felt a sense of pride in our strength and unity.But our victory was not yet complete. The lone survivor of the rogue pack lay bound and unconscious at our feet, and we needed to interrogate him to find out more about their motives and plans.We carefully lifted him up and carried him back to our base camp, where we could question him in a secure location. As we tended to our wounds and prepared for the interrogation, I couldn't shake the feeling that this was only the beginning of a much larger conflict.But for now, we had won this battle, and I allowed myself a m
★[Freya's POV]★As I arrived home from work, I felt the weight of the day finally catching up to me. I longed for some peace and quiet, a chance to unwind and gather my thoughts. Once inside my room, I collapsed onto my bed and stared up at the ceiling, lost in my own world of contemplation.My mind wandered to the impending release of the University admission list, which had been causing me immense anxiety. The anticipation was almost unbearable, as I had put in so much effort and hard work to get to this point.But beyond that, I couldn't help but think about everything that had been happening in my life recently. The constant pressure to excel in my studies, the expectations of my family and friends, and the struggles of being a young woman in a world that often felt indifferent to my struggles.Despite all of this, I refused to give up on my dreams. I was determined to succeed and prove that I was capable of achieving great things, regardless of the obstacles in my path.As I lay
