Freya’s PovThe words of Jude took over my sanity. I couldn't push it away and it had some eerie aura and feeling to them. His words were like a boomerang, it returned to me every damn time.Fool, you are dancing on an enemy’s sword.Fool, you are dancing on an enemy’s sword.His words were on a loop in my head until I began to feel dizzy. I pressed the flush button and the toilet’s water changed white with a pressured clean water, flushing my urine.That old fool just wanted a reaction from me. He wanted to scare me off so that I won't join the multi-billion dollar group.He had to do better with his threat. Who would buy into such rubbish and step down.But are you not curious? My conscience prompted. Off course I was curious, what better explanation than the replay of words I felt in my head.I was curious but there was no lead and worse I could be following the wrong train and falling directly into the hands of my enemy.Opening the toilet door to the women's convenience, I gaited
Freya’s Pov I retired to my chambers later in the evening with all my plans to get choked and gagged by Artemis thrown through the window where my stalker had run through. After seeing Artemis look so appetizing in that black tuxedo the last thing I wanted to do was sleep alone in a cold bed away from a strong hard chest but here I was doing the same thing I was very much against doing. Sleeping away from Artemis.He had chosen to look around and act all security vigilant, inspecting and looking every nook and cranny of the pack for my stalker.Apparently, it wasn't Jude. He claimed to have never gotten into the female convenience. It wasn't like we were expecting him to come clean and suddenly own up and go all like, “Wow you caught me,” so we had to keep looking. But he was still our suspect.In some parts of my mind, I didn't think he was the one. I didn't have that connection, that tells that he was the one, it just seemed too easy and my mind didn’t easily buy it. That giddy fu
Freya’s PovThree pairs of eyes turned to me, “who are you, Freya?” they asked the million-dollar questions that were roaming my mind.Who am I?Even I, didn't have the answer to that.I stood perplexed as I absorbed the variety of eyes that glued on me for an answer that even I didn't have the slightest clue to.“I think you might be wrong, even if Artemis hadn't marked me yet, we have been doing it and maybe my wolf has gotten used to being referred to as Luna. It must've gotten to her,” I explained my theory, trying to convince not just them but myself. It had to be. That was the only logical explanation.So it got to be it if not I’d be a freak.“Oh yeah yeah,” they said in unison, bouncing their heads in agreement.“You guys! That makes sense, yeah that’s totally it,” Racheal confirmed a little too much.“It explains why she started acting funny right after her inauguration,” she added to my theory, giving more points as to why I suddenly exploded with power so raw that even I
Artemis povWe had seen a dark figure hiding and lurking behind dark walls, with movement as stealthy as a cat. I knew immediately it was Freya’s stalker, if his stealthy skills didn't show it then the black spy outfit he wore sold him out.His movement was suspicious and immediately he understood that we were on his tail he started running and that only confirmed our suspicion.“Take that way!” I ordered running up the stairs.I was vexed literally, I would have been lying down next to a panting Freya that merely just came down from her first climax but instead, here I was chasing down a masked stalker.He was going to regret the first breath he took when he crossed foot into this world for stealing our orgasm.“Call the guards, check everywhere and post guards at every feet of the gate,” I ordered. He wasn't getting out of here. At least not alive.“Alpha,” Iris called from the entrance of the ground hall, jogging up to me.“What?” I asked in divided attention, my head swinging to t
Freya’s pov“I know the truth about your father,” he repeated and I felt my body go still with my heart pounding within my ribcage.We were silent for a long beat with just the drumming of my heart sounding through the dark stilled room, his breathing fanning my neck. The thudding of my heart swallowing my thoughts in whole.For the first time I experienced true calm as shudder ran through me, my head was blank with no clattering thoughts, my body dead and still, my fingers numb as they dropped beside with a thud.My heart suddenly accelerated as all previous emotions and thoughts began returning, slowly, gradually, with ease I felt life infusing back in with all five senses sipping back into my veins.‘He knows my father.’It was only when apprehension returned that I realized that he was yet to let go as he still secured me in his grasp with a loose palm acting as a lid over my mouth.My elbow came up and connected with his abdomen, “you can let go now,” I hissed from pain but that
Freya's PovHe was frozen by my side under the bed as we laid still and peeked from the little ajar made between the bed and the tile.Large feet stumped inside, shaking the entire building like they were giants. Feet which were concealed in black soldier boots, as each foot connected with the ground we could feel the shudder as well as the fear resonating within us.They wouldn't check the bed, would they?“Search everywhere!!” Artemis commanded like a god. He was furious and if the large strides he threw and rummaged through the purple curtains didn't say much then definitely his voice carried it.I imagined his nose flared as with every muscle in his body, his veins on full parade as he led the people.This was wrong, everything about it was wrong, from the decision down to hiding under the bed with my stalker, everything was wrong with this.I felt guilty. I had betrayed him, his trust.Familiar voices rang in my ear as I registered whom they belonged to; the girls.My hand covere
Artemis povShe watched the catastrophe in front of her with curiosity. Her brows furrowed and creased everytime they bantered and cursed at one another.She was in the multi-billion dollar group for the first time and she was my vice chairman. Freya, my mate, and Luna “She is not capable of leading, hell she doesn't know anything about leading,” Marc snarled.“She can't be our vice chairman,” Rose supported.I peeked a glance at a very calm Freya who just seemed to listen and not care about their opinion. She was quiet and merely stared at every one of them. They didn't want this, didn't want her to rule by my side. “I don't care about your opinions but she’s my mate therefore making her the vice chairman,” I connotedMarc opened his mouth to speak once more, but Jude was quick to step in, “let her be, she has to learn to know, after all she needs the experience,” as he spoke he balanced gaze with Freya who's eyes were locked on his.Jude had the majority of the court to his favor,
Freya's povThey all mirrored each other's expression, waiting for me to call a name but that was the problem, it wasn't a name but the name.“The person,” I paused, eyes darting to their horror-stricken face, “is in the organization,” I revealed. The place fell Into a luminous silence.“Who is the person?” they asked.“I don't know whom yet, but I know the person is here as it is the only way that the other packs would gang up or try to come up against the pack. They have someone in here, one of us,” all their faces fell as they darted their eyes from one to another, each bearing a suspicious gaze.I did likewise, scanning the entire room for the criminal, for the mole within us.The atmosphere suddenly sank and became one of solitude, peoples thoughts swimming the whole transparent, sound proof room. The room was silent, so silent that the drop of a pin would be heard by all.“But..but why would somebody do that?” Rose shivered looking besides her at the people she sat close with.“
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
