Disclaimer: matured scene ahead.Artemis Pov ‘You know what!’A vision flashed before me what could possibly be my life should I follow through with that thought. Should I ponder and hesitate or reconsider my actions. My life based on that decision was already mapped out. It was spelt out and foretold and anyone could guess the ending.If I were to follow Freya’s voice in my head, I would be at the lowest apex in the feeding chain. I’ll be the lowest of all organisms. A laughing stock and would've been ridiculed upon. No!‘Fuck it, fuck her feelings. Besides she wouldn’t know,’My wolf was particularly quiet. I could tell that he would do anything in his power to gain his mates trust and love to make her happy. Yet he still was an alpha and he had a duty to his pack and his people. We were alpha and would always demand respect, failure to do so and you would wake up six feet under ground. I and Aegus were particularly competitive and we were set out to win every single time.The mee
Freya’s Pov The note was wrapped in between my clothes. As I unfolded it, a white note fell out. Picking it up and unwrapping it my body went cold from fear.The words engulfed me in total fear. “First of all let’s go to the library. There’s no waterfall pack without a waterfall library!” She squealed. I could literally see the joy emitting from her. Sonia was quiet and meek, more of the introvert type but Racheal? Rachael's energy rubbed off on me.It was like her hyper self somehow was alarming and triggering at first. But over time staying with her anyone would get comfortable as there was no dull moment or depressing time with her. She was a vibe and her cheer easily rubbed off on anyone who came in contact with her.In a few days spending time with Racheal had made me more of an open person. She was a pull and very hard to resist.She pulled my arms along as she hopped dragging me along with her. Just as we were about to go up the main door opened to Artemis.He looked frustrat
Artemis Pov I couldn’t leave her but if I stayed any longer it would not say well of me.This gave even more reason why I wanted to kill that Ajax. He was surely going to pay. For the first time since I met Freya, she reached out for me. Her hand held me by my arm. She didn’t mutter no words but anyone could tell what was in her mind. Anyone could see the pleading look she sent to me. They were visible and there was no denying it.Holding her in my embrace I did not want to leave her, not alone, not away from me. I could not stand the idea of taking a single step away from her.As I hugged her, getting soaked in her smell my hand found the small of her back and rocked her slowly.“Alpha. Aj——“ for Oslo to persist, I knew it was something important. He wouldn’t come for no reason.That was all it took. “I’ll be right with you,” when I said those words to Oslo, my gamma, I felt the room grow quiet. It appeared as though a thick fog had suddenly appeared. The atmosphere was thick and he
Freya’s Pov I wish I could say I was at peace when I woke up on his chest. I wish I could say I had one of those best sleep where you don’t want to wake up, that I was not scared, that I didn’t have a million thought laying next to him. That I didn’t go to sleep drowned in thoughts.I also wished I could say that I didn’t enjoy it. His body against mine, the fog of peace that surrounded my head even in thoughts, his hand over my back holding me close to him. I wish I could deny that all of that didn’t set my body in peace but they did, way beyond my control.Tracing aimless circles on his chest I thought how I had lost every atom of hope of him returning to me. I remembered vividly well how my heart missed a beat when the door creaked open to his figure as he stood in sight holding apologetic look. It broke me to stupor. I couldn’t be mad. The little faint of anger saw themselves through the door when it came open by him.And when he said, ‘I said you should wait for me,’ that melted
Freya’s Pov But then the storm will come anyway. I was having breakfast with Artemis in the dining hall. He was very chatty and I enjoyed it.“So what’s your favorite colour?” He asked. I laughed at his question, “you can’t be serious?” I asked in disbelief.“Come on I am, tell me your favorite colour and reason,” oh boy he was serious.Okay, I tried to surpress the laughter and offer him an answer.I thought back to it, now that I did, I realized that I in fact didn’t have a favorite something. I think it was as a result of growing up in the Eastwood pack. Back then I didn’t have much of a choice so I just sucked up to whatever I was offered.Rubbing my chin I thought on the colour that was most appealing to me. After much thought I concluded that I didn’t have a favorite colour but I knew the colours that I would alway go for should I be offered the chance to choose.“I know this might be weird but I don’t have a favorite colour.”“You don’t?” He asked surprised.“I mean there are
Freya’s Pov I saw girls my age, some older rounding the open fields. They were racing and they appeared very fast, each trying to take down the other. It was a large open field with tracks. They all had on their training gears.At the sight of Artemis they seemed to forget and shouted, “Artemis.”Well I didn’t know he was social with his pack girls this way or were they all his f*ck mate in the past. Probably the latter because some girls still appeared focused with what they were doing.We trailed further into the field. As we were about to enter, a girl walked up to me. She had blonde hair and hazel eyes. Her steps were agile as she matched towards us. She looked like she commanded this territory. The ironic thing was her strides did not match her figure. She was rather on the petite side, her hair packed in a perfect ponytail flying behind her as the wind blew.She reached us and smiled. Oh, she's friendly.“Hello Artemis,” she greeted and ignored the rest of us like we weren’t st
Freya’s PovAs I dug deeper into the woods, my better mind screamed at me to halt and retreat my steps, to go back. But my curious mind that was a grazing ground for animals ate at me to find out, to discover to satiate my curiosity. A need brewed within me to discover whom it was.Even as my curiosity drove on a spinning wheel my fear was fixated like a spindle. It pierced me like thorn. I shouldn’t delve this far, this could be dangerous. Scratch that, this was dangerous.But even as my fears surfaced and floated like a feather on an ocean my legs carried me like they had a mind of their own. With every adding steps my fears increased but so were my steps.From my peripheral vision I saw a shadowy figure run past the woods. Reflexively I turned with no hesitation. I don’t know what pushed me or what aided me, worse what convinced me to chase the shadow in the woods but I did.I ran after the directions I suspected he headed. Jumping and ducking tree branches. It was evident that th
Freya’s Pov ‘Get ready because you’re going to work your ass off,’ Oslo’s voice rang in my head. I really was working my ass off just to be the perfect mate to Artemis.He better be worth it.‘He is worth it,’ Jade assured. Of course, leave it to her to always support her mate and come to his defence at anytime.My heels were throbbing, I could literally feel it breathing. Yet I was still on a pencil high heel, walking like I wasn’t feeling a dime of pain.“Smile!” Came that voice that had spent hours trying to mould me into the perfect Luna. By the sound of her voice my body straightened and stood high yet my mind was bent like a sickle, sharp and boiling with a fit of rage.I wanted nothing more than to reach forth for Racheal’s mouth and clip it shut. She was the voice behind my sorrows and emotional turmoil.“Can I take a rest? I’m tired,” I pleaded.“Oh please rest, do as you wish,” Racheal beckoned.I sighed. Racheal must’ve been sweet and the only nice person so far in this pa
Freya's PovTwo months later We were seated in the living room, back in The Eastwood pack. Alpha Rex and his wife were seated across from me. And then there was Tobias, poker faced by my side.“I'm sorry Freya for all the pains I put you through, for selling you and for betraying your father,” Alpha Rex apologized.“Yes, we.. We are so very sorry,” his mate added by his side.It was a long time ago, and I had moved on but I wasn’t sure we could be one happy family. Impossible.“So why did you? Why did you sell her out?” Tobias was well and by my side, he was still just as angry at his father.“Because Artemis wanted her, saw her serving on one of the meetings, he knew right then and there that she was his mate. He made me give her up or else he would destroy the pack, it was a foolish thing to do,” he took a pause and peered at me, “I’m sorry, please forgive me,” he apologized once more.“And why did you betray her father, all this wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t a coward,” Tob
Freya's Pov“What?” I gasped in shock, “no,” I whispered, unable to believe my eyes.“I see, you like my little surprise?” Artemis asked with that sickening smile of his.“Loretta,” I whispered. She was held by some guards, her mouth had burts and she was bleeding from her lips.“You are a psycho,” I lunched forward but I was instantly held back by Tobias.“Let her come, she's the one I came here for. She's a traitor,” he said in disdain.“You are a traitor and a monster, how dare you!” I yelled.“How dare I?” he asked, “give her to me and you can go scott free then your little friend here may be safe,” he said looking down to Loretta.“Go fuck yourself!” Tobias spat, “you'll never have her,” he growled.“Very well then, you've spoken for yourself however I want to hear her opinion, your life for them,” he said with a glint in his eyes. Expectant of what my choice would be.They were right, I was Luna after all, so sacrificing myself for my people and pack seemed worth it, as long as
Freya's Pov“What do you mean she's gone?” I asked, looking at all their faces.“We woke up to this,” Rachael said, showing the letter Loretta had written, “it was for you,” Merona chipped in.“Give it here,” I snatched it and read:Hey, Freya. I'm sorry for spoiling your beautiful morning this way, I just can't stay here with you, I have to return to Artemis, give him a false report and try to stall his little attack or see what I can do. I feel like a hypocrite staying by your side after selling you out. Let me return and face my fate, where we may meet again. I hope on the moon goddess that we will reunite, even in the underworld. Loretta loves you.I clutched the paper and vibrated from anger and ache in my chest.“How dare she?” I spun and faced the others.“She felt like a hypocrite? She's been through too much yet…,” I scoffed, tears pricking by the side of my eyes, “yet she still wants to play the hero? Why must she go to him, he's a m
Artemis PovI stood at the balcony, reminiscing how I was going to strample on the little pack of Rex’s son. He knew better than to intervene if not he and his whole family would all be a reunion in the underworld.Freya betrayed me, she deserved what is coming for her. I decided to go and check on the warriors. Taking the elevator down, I met Iris, my beta downstairs.“Alpha,” he ran to my side and bowed.I couldn't trust him, he was just like me and that was why I could not. Ironic. If what I saw was what was going to happen then Oslo would be a better choice to leave behind.“How's the warriors training?” I asked him while in motion.“They are doing fine Alpha,” he replied, keeping up with me. He was a few kilometers behind, careful not to incur my wrath. He was hanging on a thin line after he was caught with The Luna of the pack.Why hadn't I killed him along with her when I found them together, when he was screwing her, I would have left my pack bare and although I was angry, I h
Freya’s Pov.Our eyes locked and we began circling one another, a smirk pulled up by the side of my lips.“Come at me princess,” he beckoned but I was rather focused on my cue to charge.Tobias threw his fist into the air, directly into my face, slightly, just by an inch I dodged, kicking my head back as I veered around and came to him, he was swift in his movement just as he was quick to block my punch. Dammit, I cursed.I was relenting, with face pace, I swerved and went under him, I was granted access when my fist connected into his side.“Smart choice,” he nodded and I beamed with pride. Although that wasn't my target. He was my aim.“Well I'm just getting started,” I said with much satisfaction.Looking at him, our eyes were fixed one on the other, he wasn't attacking, I was and he was doing more of shielding and defending.Our backs crouched, shoulders squared with fixed gaze. Quickly with the speed of light I stooped and went for his torso. This was a dangerous strategy, mean
Artemis PovI walked into my mothers room. It was plain and vague like a Luna didn't inhabit the walls of this room. Mother always appeared calm and elegant, she wore dresses of the finest handmade. Pure and elegant. But the room I stood in now was dimly lit with no life of any kind associated with it.Drawing the curtain open, the moonlight was the only thing casting its crescent light into the room, eluding the aura my mother was known to carry. It was my second night here. Her room as it seemed provided comfort like a blanket.Although I couldn't keep sleeping here, should any pack members see me, they would attribute insanity to one of my many plagues.My hands trailed the plain wall, “mother,” I whispered into the empty hall, like she was close and as if she could hear me and reach out. I was back to that spot where I gingerly needed the soft calm embrace of her arms.“I'm lost,” I whispered into the room. The feel of her kiss hovered around me, her touch lingering and said into
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! Why am I not fighting, why did I feel weakness and why was I surrendering.As I took a peek at Freya, she still had that maddening look, eyes blazing with anger, I could almost feel her fury.“Say hello to my father in the afterworld,” she spat.“Freya please… please..,” I begged.“Are you begging, I’m sure this was how my father begged you but you still killed him and took his daughter, how could anyone be so evil?” she thundered.“You took me, every part of me, made me fall for you! you killed my father, t
Freya's PovWe stood by the field in short, the scent of fresh lewd grass swishing past our noses mixed with a salty wet crystalline liquid that dripped down our skin.Nobody was slacking as we stood training. I crouched and ducked often a time when Merona would thrust her hand for a punch. We have been going over this for close to ten minutes, the goal was to maintain stability and swiftness, which as I could tell we were getting better at.The once scarce field was filled with people, it was no news that our enemy was strong as it was no surprise that everyone knew him, had experienced his power not once but oftentimes that it became frequent.So the thick aura, weaved with sameness with one dream at heart which was to survive.Tobias, it seemed, had grown distant over the information that Artemis was after me and would not as much as take a breath till he was satisfied that every person standing in his way to get to me was eliminated. That space had dug a hole in my heart, making
Freya’s Pov My eyes bulged as she dropped the news that Evelyn was dead, and Artemis killed her, what then was my fate? I peeked a quick glimpse at Tobias who as I saw remained indifferent, it was hard to tell his emotions, she was after all his sister. In any case she was his only sibling despite their distance. Evelyn was a witch from hell sent to torment me however I had never wished she'd die; I mean don't get me wrong, I did have thought where I would throttle her throat but that was as far as they were, I didn't wish her to actually die. “I thought he took her in as his mate and Luna, why did he kill her?” Rachael asked in horror. A shiver ran down her and she cringed from her position. “Words have it that she did something outrageous, the maids could hardly keep their mouth plugged with the evil wench gone from their lives. Different stories are about swimming in the pack house and Artemis is furious.” she paused as tho to prepare us for what was to follow, “his beta was se
