Freya’s povI was hearing things or perhaps my ears has gotten dysfunctional. What was I hearing? “Wh..at.. What?” I lost my balance and stumbled onto the chair for support. My hand supported my head and tried to even my breathing and even my heart that was about to jump out from my ribcage any time soon.They quickly came to my side, “are you okay? Freya,” someone called, I didn't know whom, I didn't care.“Get her water,” a voice urged, the pair of hands that once held me suddenly let go.“What's your name?” I managed to ask my stalker. I should at least learn his name. I deserved that much.“I'm Williams,” he replied. Ha! I almost laughed at that, Williams was not a fair name for a stalker. He should have something more sophisticated, something befitting for a stalker.“Here,” water was offered to me, I grabbed it with shaky hands and brought it to my lips. The tip of the cup made contact with my lips and I drank like it was the only purest thing within and around me at the moment
Freya’s pov“Freya stop! We are gonna get into trouble,” Rachael yelled from behind me. But I didn't care what she said or for her tremor I didn't care how much trouble I was going to get into, all that mattered was Artemis, was confronting my mate, whom I have bedded with since the day I arrived here, all I cared for was asking him if he killed my father all this time and kept me in the dark.“Freya! Freya!” Williams and Racheal called out to me. Their footsteps drew nigh, a sign that they were chasing me, trying to stop me from taking my rash action as they called it.Stopping abruptly I turned to them, “there is nothing either of you would say that would change my mind. Now I'm going to go and ask my mate, and NO, I would not add your names,” I said, cutting them off before they had the chance to say anything.I left them there speechless as I continued down the path that led to Artemis' presence. I didn't care to knock as I barged in, his beta and gamma were present talking to him
Freya's povI was thinking that by now I’d be living in the dungeon but rather I was seen to my room by a handful of guards, Artemis of course had searched for a better lie to muster.He didn't say anything, he just simply called out to the guards who were escorting me.While standing in the elevator, I caught sight of those buttons enclosed in a safety plastic casing. If I got into that room, I wouldn't be able to step out again, I could bet my luck and I was really desperate to check out where those buttons led and what secret they held.“I’ll be fine on my own, don't worry,” I told the guards. Seeing that Artemis had told them that I wasn't healthy and that they should make sure I got to my room.Prick was too much of a coward to say that I punched him. They looked amongst each other, “are you sure,” asked one of the guards in worry.“Yeah yeah, I'm fine,” I nodded my head as I assured him.He shared a glance with the others and cast one my way, “okay, but if you need anything, ju
Freya’s pov“What do you mean,” Racheal came to my side. I stuffed some clothes into my duffel bag, she pulled my hands and veered me around, “What are you doing?”“I'm getting the hell out of here, we are getting out!” I said once more.“What? Why?” Williams yelled from behind.“Because,” I spun and faced him, “because I'm mated to a monster.”“Okay, even if we wanted to leave, we can't, Artemis would have his guards keeping watch,” Racheal held me again, “we can't escape, you can't escape,” she was looking directly into my eyes as she spoke.I snatched my hand away, “I can!” I must. I was on the brink of crying, the tears flowing into the corner of my eyes. Whenever I thought about it, it got so heavy and I just wanted to drop down dead but I would catch myself and push my shoulders back.“You can't!” she paused, I discreetly sniffed and tilted my head back, “And why is that?”“Because you are his, you are his mate,” she had said, and when she did the tears I was holding flowed sea
Artemis povI arrived at the company and I didn't find the person, I and Iris were at the court, instantly a guard ran to us, “where is he?” I was quick to ask.“Who, sir?” the staff equally asked. He was mortal, deep brown eyes with freckles scattered across his features.“Jude, I was told he was at the Court!” I relayed the message I received, I turned to a confused Iris and to the speechless staff.“Jude, the court member, where is he? He was here not too long, right?” Iris asked, looking at him for a reply.“I'm sorry sir, but Jude has not been to the organization,” he answered in confidence.“What are you—,”My phone vibrated in my pocket, cutting me shut. I reached into my pants pulled out my cell phone, swiped the answer, and placed it on my ear.“Alpha, the item is still at its position,” Oslo spoke quickly.Iris looked at me for an explanation but I just stomped away, someone was playing a game on me. Iris was on his heels, chasing after me.“Alpha,” he had called, I ignored
Freya's PovThe pain spread through my body as my wolf tried to claw her way out. I stopped and growled, getting on one knee, my hands found my heart as I fought to send her back but jade wasn't allowing it. She wanted to be let out, the pain and betrayal she felt, we felt, we wanted to both let it out.Racheal and Williams paused and came to my side, “you want to shift?” they asked bending down with me.I grunted and pushed her back, she should hold back, she wasn't the only one pained. She wasn't the only one suffering.“You have to let her out,” Williams told me to which I shook my head to, “not now.”With the last strength left in me, I took a long shaky breath and forced myself to my feet, while standing, I attempted to even my breathing till the sharp pain was dormant.“You should let her out and we have to keep moving. By now he might have noticed your absence,” Williams spoke, referring to Artemis. I made an effort to breathe normally and when I was sure the pain was passive,
Freya's PovTwo days, it had been two days since I last stepped out of this room, anything away from this room and it would be as though I had been snatched from my safe haven and thrust into the war front.My mate, no, my second chance mate. I never thought a person could have more than one mate in a lifetime but it seemed it was now possible, happening to me in fact.I wanted a fresh start, away from everything. Fight and fend for myself yet here I sat believing that there was a second chance mate.Everything was taking place so damn fast, my mate been a murderer, killing my father, mating with me while lying, finding out that I'm an Alpha's daughter, running away from Artemis then discovering that some of my people were here looking up to me now, their long lost alpha, returned to give them a future that even I couldn't see. And just when I thought I had caught up with everything I'm thrust back into the position of a Luna yet again and dormant alpha position.All of it? All of the
Freya's Pov In my room I paced continuously, my mind running on and on and suddenly I wanted to be let out, I wanted to be free of this torture, my strewn all over my face causing me to groan from fury, I yanked a fistful of it and moved to the mirror.A scowl veiled my face like the uttermost layer of my face, from the corner of my eyes I caught a red sharp double mouth joined in a hilt lying on the table.I picked it up and cast one last glance on the long wavy hair that got on my face and without one last glance I chopped it off. It fell with a silent thud on the floor that resonated through me, I heard the sound of it drop internally but that didn't stop me from whittling away the ones left till they were nothing but shoulder length.“Argh!” I screamed and shrieked, casting a dull look at my hair that was once on my head, now lying disarrayed on the floor.The door opened and Racheal stood perplexed on her form, impossibly still, watching me for the longest while.“Oh my gosh, Fr
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
