Artemis Pov Freya was fu-cking sexy in that dress she was wearing. No mate in his normal self would let such a hot and really sexy mate wander off alone but business called, and I had to pick up. Those damn meetings.Even as she walked away, my eyes lingered on her retreating form. As she trotted further from me, staring at the art work on the wall I couldn’t freaking tear my eyes from her. She was the art itself in this place to me. Her whole existence was art and a real masterpiece. Freya was beautiful, to me beautiful could not properly describe her. It was unfitting for her.When she was out of sight, I got my will back and the invisible glue that had me stuck to the ground vanished. The cloud of Cupid hovering over my head disappeared and I was me again. It was like I had been released from a spell, her spell.“This way alpha,” a guard said to me, directing me towards the path to a door.The gallery must’ve been a show and a way to attract more investors, but the place in real w
Freya’s Pov “How did you know Demitri was my father, I never said that,” I said in a Fahrenheit tone. The temperature dropped drastically, I was caked in fear. The goosebumps on my body arose like soldiers going for war, the hair on my body stood erect. Pointed and in full fledged alertness.“Everyone in Waterfall knows that, it’s no news again,” she gave a shady reply not rendering how she knew I was his daughter which made my fear double, triple maybe.Oh I hope Artemis will come looking for me.The elevator door chimed open and I was flying my ass out of it. The human lady came out gradually, taking her time.Of course she wants to take her time before killing me. My eyes searched around in their own accord to see if my stalker was skulking anywhere.She smiled and said, “this way.”There was no turning back now. So this was it, this was how I died.Yeah, I’ve lived a good enough life, who’d thought I’d be a Luna and I’d meet my mate in a contract marriage. Not just any mate, but
Disclaimer: matured content below. Read at risk.Freya’s PovSome few minutes back we had returned to the pack house. I was on my bed, back to the bed, my hand under my head while I stared at the ceiling. My mind ran aimlessly, in circles; major thoughts being, the court, fight, Merona, come out alive (very important), Luna, Demitri, my father. Those were the cycles of my thoughts.Panic? I didn’t know if I panicked or if this was me panicking. No proper fear was traced but I felt it, something or rather someone was suppressing it down, shoving the fear right down into the ocean, trying to drown it. My only hope was that I don’t drown with it.Fighting Merona, how the hell was I supposed to do that. What? Was I supposed to develop super powers or steal one? How did they expect me to win?I sat up, blonde hair, hazel eyes came to my mind. They belonged to Merona. She was invading my memory and sensory organ. She was incredibly strong, only heaven knows how long she had trained to be th
Artemis Pov Waking up to sweet cinnamon smell filling my nose was ecstasy. I peered my eyes open and gazed down at the damn angel by my side. She was in a deep slumber, her heart heaving as she slept. Her hair fell to her face obstructing my view of sunshine. I reached out and pushed the strands of hair back to its origin.She sighed and stirred in her position, inching closer to me for the loss of warmth. I pulled her even closer, wrapped my hand around her small back as I laid back on the bed.She looked peaceful, no grease of worry, no thought going frenzy in that head of hers. Her mouth that was usually running with questions were closed tenderly, a little opening in between emitting little whispers which if stressed enough would be regarded as snores.Her eyes squinted slightly due to the sun rays that let themselves intruded in, they pestered her and she snaked her head in multiple directions to block the sun rays, but they were harsh and persistent, they filled the room and ev
Artemis Pov She smiled and giggled while talking. Anyone could tell she enjoyed talking about it. Talking about little things, she loved little talks. Those were the things that got her blood rushing, those were the things that broke her dam. Her veins pulsated as she jabbed away.“So who would you say is your favourite artist?” I asked her. Tilting her head, she brought the fries to her mouth tentatively.“I’m only speaking from current music taste,” she assured me, to let me know that she could always change her mind.“Okay,” I said, getting her message loud and clear.“I love BANNERS, his music resonates deep inside of me and I really really love love love his music,” she said, even as she spoke I could see the excitement and glee at which she spoke about him. The fact that he was a male made me jealous and on a normal day I would have growled from jealousy and gotten all dominant but today was about her, about this angel in front of me.Her eyes, they twinkled with delight, they
Freya's PovThe necklace dangled as I crouched low on the ground. My brain was waiting for the go-off whistle. My hand found it and caressed it gently, the necklace that came with me from my father's pack, the only thing left of them for me. A reminder that I was from somewhere, somewhere I would have mattered for the past thirteen years.It served as a piece of comfort to me, when I held it, it was as though I felt my father, I felt my family. This necklace was what held me together all those years in Eastwood pack, when I thought I was going to crack, it held me in one place together.I didn't think I was one to place sentiment on objects, to give them more meaning than they bore but for Artemis, I would. I wore it more now than ever, I had hoped my father's bravery would disseminate to me and somehow, magically, help me in this battle. But I liked to think my father wasn't one of those people who believed in magic. He'd be the type that loved to get things done themselves, nonethel
Freya's Pov“Artemis,” I called and chased after him. His strides were quickly paced, and my hand wrapped around him from behind, when I caught up.“Common Artemis, we were just celebrating, I got caught in my victory,” I explained to him, my hands still wrapped around his torso.A grumbling sound emitted from his chest, spinning, I came to his front, “Artemis, you do know that you are my mate, and I wouldn't leave something this hot,” I pointed at his chest and abs, “For that,” he smirked.“I know you wouldn't but it doesn't make me feel better smelling another's man scent on you,” he said as he sniffed me in disgust. I chuckled.“I'm going to wash up and get your smell all over me,” I said smiling. He smiled and pulled into a kiss. We were beginning to display more of PDA every day. My hands went to his hair and gave it a squeeze.Oh I really wished my enemies were here to witness.I felt his lips expand into a smile as we kissed. “Oh you are so getting Oslo's scent off of you,” he
Artemis povI and Iris were in the elevator headed down to the dungeon. Ajax, he was one pain in the ass. He was like that mole you could not just cut off because it was likely to escalate into something big. And I hated when something small itched more than it was supposed to.We trotted into the dungeon where he was chained to a metal chair, we were all tired, not knowing how to easily dispose of him. He was a quicksand, any move we make would come back to bite us. And to make matters worse he was Loretta’s father. The idiot had Loretta up coming to seduce me, it didn’t work after all those years but the slut followed me around like a bug, something she and her father both had in common.His head hung low, his face a complete disaster from the constant torturing, he won’t buldge, he is adamant on striking a deal. The old fool was desperate to save his life. People who feared for their lives were most likely cowards and most times it was better never to trust such people.The place s
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
