★[Fergus POV]★As Morpheus and I observed from our hidden vantage point, it became clear that Oliver had been deceiving us all along. His actions were inconsistent with what he had been telling us, and it was apparent that he had been manipulating us for his own gain.I couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal wash over me as I realized the extent of Oliver's lies. We had trusted him and relied on him, and now it seemed as though everything he had told us was a fabrication.Morpheus and I exchanged a meaningful glance, both of us aware of the gravity of the situation. We knew that we needed to confront Oliver and get to the bottom of his deception.As we emerged from our hiding spot, Oliver's expression shifted from one of confidence to one of panic. It was clear that he had been caught in his lies, and he knew that he had some explaining to do."Oliver, we need to talk," I said, my voice firm and unwavering.He looked at us both, clearly nervous. "I don't know what you're talking a
★[Freya's POV]★I woke up very early in the morning and started preparing for work, as I was not ready to meet with Nana's nagging that morning.As I rubbed my bleary eyes, I couldn't help but wonder why I had to be the one to put up with Nana's constant criticisms. It seemed like no matter how hard I tried, she always found something to complain about.I sighed and got out of bed, trying to shake off the feeling of dread that had settled in my chest. I knew that if I didn't hurry, I would be late for work, and that would only make things worse.As I brushed my teeth, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I looked tired and disheveled, with dark circles under my eyes and hair that was a mess.I shook my head and tried to focus on getting ready. I put on my work clothes and grabbed my bag, making sure I had everything I needed for the day.As I stepped out of the house, the cool morning air hit me, and I took a deep breath. The sun was just starting to rise, casting a warm glow o
★[Fergus POV]★As I stood up from my chair, my eyes were fixed on the door, trying to decipher who could be knocking at such an odd hour. Was it a delivery, a friend dropping by, or perhaps even a stranger? I took a deep breath and walked towards the door, my heart beating faster with every step.As I opened the door, my eyes met with Isla, my fiancée, standing there with a look of surprise on her face. I was taken aback, not expecting her to be here so suddenly, and it showed on my face."Hey," she said, looking up at me with those piercing blue eyes of hers. "I'm sorry to drop by unannounced, but I had to see you."I couldn't help but feel relieved that it was her standing in front of me, and not someone I didn't know. I took a step back and let her in, closing the door behind her."What brings you here?" I asked, trying to hide the confusion in my voice."I just needed to see you," she replied, taking off her coat and placing it on the couch. "I've been thinking a lot about us late
★[Freya's POV]★As I stood there, watching the wolf vanish into the trees, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy. The wolf was free to roam the woods, to explore and hunt as it pleased. Meanwhile, I was bound by my own limitations and uncertainties.But I knew better than to follow the wolf. The woods were unfamiliar territory, and I didn't know what dangers lurked beyond the trees. As tempting as it was to give in to my curiosity, I knew that caution was the wiser choice.So instead, I turned and made my way back to the safety of where I was coming from. As I walked, I couldn't help but wonder what other wonders and terrors lay hidden in the depths of the forest, waiting to be discovered. Perhaps one day, when I was better equipped to face them, I would venture out and explore this wild and untamed world. But for now, I was content to stay within the safety of my own boundaries, and dream of the adventures that awaited me. As I walked out of the woods and into the clearing,
★[Fergus POV]★It was a new day and I decided to visit the old park house, that we don't use anymore alone, despite knowing that no one was going to be there.As I made my way to the park house, I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility wash over me. It was early in the morning and the sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft orange glow across the sky.I had been looking forward to this moment for weeks. The idea of having the entire park to myself was thrilling. I knew it was unlikely that anyone else would be there at this hour, but the thought of being completely alone in nature was exactly what I needed.As I approached the park house, I noticed how quiet it was. The only sound was the gentle rustling of the leaves in the trees. I opened the door and stepped inside, taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air.The park house was empty, just as I had expected. I walked around, exploring the different rooms and admiring the beautiful architecture. It was a peaceful pl
★[Freya's POV]★As I stood in the midst of the raucous crowd, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The air was thick with anticipation, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. The people around me were a motley crew of misfits and outcasts, and their grimy appearance was matched only by their foul language.All around me, the chant grew louder and more insistent. "Let the queen of doom ascend," they cried out, their voices rising in a frenzied crescendo.I scanned the faces of those around me, looking for some clue as to what was going on. But all I saw was a sea of angry, twisted expressions, filled with malice and hatred.As the chanting reached a fever pitch, a figure began to emerge from the shadows at the back of the crowd. It was a woman, dressed in black robes, with a hood pulled over her head. Her features were obscured, but I could sense an aura of darkness and malevolence emanating from her.The crowd surged forward as the woman made her way towards the center
★[Fergus POV]★As I lay there in bed, staring up at the ceiling, my mind raced with all the possible scenarios of what could happen if the threat was real. Who would want to harm me? Was it someone I knew? A complete stranger? My heart pounded in my chest, and a cold sweat broke out on my forehead.I picked up my phone and scrolled through my contacts, trying to think of someone I could call for help. But as I looked at each name, I couldn't bring myself to dial any of them. What if they were in on it? What if they were the ones behind the threat?I tossed and turned, trying to find a comfortable position, but my mind wouldn't let me rest. I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.As the hours ticked by, I began to feel more and more exhausted, but still, I couldn't bring myself to close my eyes. I knew I needed to get some sleep if I was going to be able to function the next day, but the fear was too overwhelming.Finally, as
★[Fergus POV]★As I entered the living room, I pulled out my phone and dialed Morpheus' number. He picked up after a couple of rings."Hey, Morpheus. It's me. I need to talk to you about Bethany," I said, getting straight to the point."Sure thing, boss. What's up?" Morpheus replied."I think we need to step up our efforts to capture her. She's been evading us for too long, and it's time we put an end to this," I said, my voice firm."I agree. What's your plan?" Morpheus asked."I was thinking we could try setting a trap for her. We know she likes to frequent that coffee shop on 5th and Main. Maybe we could stake it out and wait for her to show up," I suggested."That's a good idea. We'll need to make sure we have enough manpower to cover all the exits," Morpheus said, already thinking about the logistics."Agreed. I'll leave that to you. Just let me know what you need from me," I said, feeling relieved that we were finally making progress."Will do, boss. I'll get started on it right
