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
Artemis PovI knew a very peculiar person that would find Freya. She would prove useful. While they were tracking Merona’s cell phone, she would come in handy to draw her in.“Where is he!” I demanded, “what is taking him so long?” I turned to the guard, “go get Iris,” I ordered.“Yes alpha,” they bowed and turned on their heels.“We are here!” Evelyn announced with Iris by her side, wearing a grin.“Good to know you are familiarizing with her, I wondered if you did with Freya,” Oslo spat.“I'm sure he did not,” Evelyn said, “anyways, he came to fetch me from my chambers. So where are we?” she asked, looking around.“Why is Iris always fetching you from your room, it's as though you need him to walk,” Oslo gave a questioning look.“Would you rather do it, I doubt you will since you are still sobbing over Freya,” she propped her head, staring him down.“She was a better Luna,” he said “And yet she ran,” Evelyn remarked, she turned to me, “so what's the plan to get back his Luna,” she
Freya’s Pov“So how did you track us?” I asked Merona who was on the field with me.“Simple, my phone picked up a lot of signals and data works from this angle and I decided to check it out. I knew she'd be with you,” she said.“And so you just came to us?” I inquired.“I came for her, correction, I should have followed her, she told me when she was leaving, she asked me to come but I was stubborn, now she found her fucking mate,” she said that with so much spite in her tone, “now I don't even know where I stand.”Now I understood why Rachael was so angry at me, I hadn't asked, I hadn't cared. Of course, she had asked Merona to tail along on our escape plan but she refused and decided to be loyal to Artemis, only when she missed Rachael so badly she couldn't steer off anymore. She followed her for love, she left all that she knew and where she was respected for love.However, now that she was here she cast a dejected look because Rachael may not choose her.“If she doesn't choose you,
Freya's Pov“I must leave,” I said and stood up pacing the cool tiled floor.“If I don't then I put everything at risk, your pack? You? Your people, everyone would be in danger,” I explained to him, “Artemis would stop at nothing to find me, to get his hands on me, his prized possession. I must go Tobias, I must,” my hands were on his shoulder as I spoke, voice hoarse from stalling tears.He was silent, as silent as the sea and it disturbed me so greatly. I didn't know his thoughts, I didn't know how he felt, everything was just on a stand still except my heart that was on the brink of collapsing.“Say something Tobi, say something, anything,” I urged him.Hesitantly his eyes rose to mine, they carried my gaze for the longest while and I wished right then and there I wasn't who I was, I wasn't alpha Demitri's daughter, that I was someone else with a much simpler life.“You're my mate, my only mate,” he said like he was trying to get me to understand who I was to him. I did that becaus
Freya’s Pov‘I moaned as I pushed his head further, holding it in place. My head kicked back and I grabbed the bed sheet from pleasure, his tongue connected again with my throbbing inside and heaved a——’“Freya!” I heard a faint voice,“Freya!” they doubled, breaking through the edge and reaching out for me, I snapped my shut from my reverie.Shit, I was drooling.“Yeah I'm listening, I can hear you,” I quickly said.“Are you that nervous about the speech?” Rachael asked with a smile.“What? Yes yes,” I nodded“Were you practicing it in your head? You seemed gone,” she noted.“Yes, I was practicing it,” I lied, yeah I was practicing how I would writhe under a certain person’s touch.“I can smell you,” the person leaned in from my side and whispered.I felt all the colors in my body gather in my cheek, sparking fireflies in my stomach.“What?”“Shhhh,” he made a moaning sound in my ears and I felt fire in between my thighs.‘Who said he was innocent, the person couldn't have been more
Freya's Pov.He looked at me with uncertainty, “are you sure?” he asked, every ounce of lust evaporating through the window.“Ye..s.. Yes I'm sure,” I stuttered.“You don't seem all that sure,” he pointed and there was nothing I hated more than people pinpointing, like keep your damn points to your freaking self.“I'm very sure Tobias, now mark me please,” my voice was levelled now and lacked every stuttering attribute to them, also I was practically begging for him to claim me.“Freya,” he said and moved back. That simple act made me go still, was he rejecting me, contemplating on not claiming me.“Tobias,” I held him for a minute.“Freya, I completely understand how you feel, but I can't, not when you are not sure,” he said to me like I was a child. A child was how everyone was treating me lately.“I am a consenting adult and I'm sure, how much more of certainty do you need?” I asked him and snatched my hand from his hold.“Freya you understand what I mean,” he attempted to reach fo
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
