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 PovI was on my bed, the soft comfy white bird staring up at the ceiling. The weather was merciful and tender, it carried my mind to the news I received from Tobias. All that he had said. All this time, I felt like my father was the heroine, like he was the good man, alpha that would lay his life for his pack and family. But I was wrong.Half wrong though, he at least laid down his own flesh and blood for the pack. The pains, I thought they would consume me after I woke up, rather all I felt was numbness. I was tired of being reminded a hundred times how dumb and foolish I was. Everything, everything till this day had all been a lie. My father, my mate, my identity. There was not a single truth in my life. My entire life was built and founded on lies.It was bizarre to acknowledge, but my father deserved what he got.Numb or not I could hardly decipher with the headache that drummed in my head, my eyes spun, and I felt unusual weakness.Maybe I was sick, the truth and everythi
Artemis PovI stood seething in rage as I looked at my beta and gamma. We needed to come up with a better plan, with Luna gone the court was in dire need of me providing another mate and Luna for them. To calm the murmurs and whispers of disarrayed pack members who were beginning to question where their favorite and perfect Luna was.Freya!“You could take Loretta as your next Luna,” Oslo suggested from a corner where he stood.I shot him a glare, “and why would I do that? She is not interested,” ever since her encounter with Freya, she seemed to have her senses return to her. Not flaunting her body like a slut, hovering around me.“Merona, she's capable and she was the perfect person by the court and people before Freya won the people’s hearts,” Iris reasoned out. How much of an idiot was I working with?“And have you set eyes on the blonde ever since?” I snarled. She has been missing for two days after Freya’s big escape. After her disappearance everything seemed to be crumbling.Th
Freya's PovI sat up abruptly on the bed to be met with faces streaken In sheer horror. They all reflected one another’s expression like a mirror.Sitting up I saw an unfamiliar face that bore a different look as the others, she smiled while the others had a sagged demeanor.“What happened? Did someone die?” I asked, looking at them. They looked like one who had lost a family.“More like someone came to life,” an unfamiliar voice and face squealed out, obviously excited while the others were the direct opposite, their faces were gloomy, and a pair of eyes sought mine, his face somehow more broken.“Speak to me!” I demanded, “what happened.”“You are pregnant Frey,” Racheal said,“What?” I sat up, to get a better understanding of what she meant.“You are carrying Artemis’ child in you,” Williams, whom I hadn't set eyes on since our arrival, said.“What are you all saying!” I barked out, searching their expressions for understanding.“What we are saying is that you are pregnant for——”“
Freya's PovWe were by the grass and it was evening after I woke from a deep sleep, since morning. I really was pregnant. The thought still felt surreal to me. I was pregnant for Artemis, his seed grew inside of me.My hand subconsciously stroked the little bump that wasn't yet visible to the eye and sighed. It was a lot, but I wasn't the only one in pain like Rachael had said.Tobias here by my side, whose gaze was focused ahead and distant. He appeared gloomy, and I knew the reason, his father.The wind did a great job, it blew in every direction as the wind, wafting away my worries although I hoped it did the same for Tobias here whose scent filled my nose. The sky was orange, a colour I once detested now it gave me some sort of warmth, just like the colour.“You don't have to say anything if you aren't ready,” I told him. But I wanted him to share his worries with me. Pregnancy blues or not but I was growing attached to him and seeing him hurt ached me. I would never voice this ou
Freya’s Pov.“Wow, you are incredible,” Tobias commented as I ran up to him, he clicked the stop watch and looked up at me wearing a proud grin.“I'm keeping upright,” I said panting, my hands on my knees as I gulped in oxygen.“Yes you are,” he glanced at my stomach that was now plumb and visible to the eyes, “and the baby looks healthy,” he bent forward, placed his head on my swollen belly, “Am I right?” he teased and I giggled.I could feel the blood in my veins running wild as my heart was beating like drum.“Rachael!” I yelled out to her, she was far and not just proximity base but at heart. We hadn't settled, we hadn't talked for months, we just existed.I knew what I did to her was shitty but I never imagined to stretch out this far.“She’ll come around,” Tobias spoke reassuringly, rubbing my shoulder.“I thought that last month, she has found her mate and she still hasn't sent a glance my way,” my face fell. If I wanted to loose someone, not Rachael, she had become a big part
Freya’s Pov “Merona,” she breathed again. I think she forgot how to breathe and blink.“Merona?” A familiar voice called, Racheal’s mate.It was the wrong time for this but I smirked. This was gonna be fun.“Rachael, where have you been?” Leilani asked, coming to Rachael’s side, and starring Merona down.“I’ve been in my room,” Rachael answered but she never tore her gaze from Merona’s face.“What are you doing here?” Rachael asked, disbelieving her eyes“I came for you,” Merona answered, marching Rachael’s stare. It was so intense that it felt as though they were the only ones in the world while we were just bystanders watching. The chemistry, the spark, we could see it, Leilani could as well.“Who is she?” Asked Leilani, it was then that Rachael snapped her gaze and exhaled like one that was in a trance.“She’s…she’s—-““I’m her girlfriend,” Merona stepped in, glaring at her, “who are you?” She questioned right back.“I’m her mate,” the girl answered in a heartbeat. Now they went i
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
