“ thank you for everything, and I’m sure your wife and daughter are proud of the kindness you’ve shown us, Elijah, I promise I won’t forget ” Freya called to the doctor as they walked out of the cabin, Aya had been right behind him with a look of disappointment when she saw Lucien’s hands around Freya, it was like a beacon telling him she had no chance with him and she should back off.She bid the. Both of them farewell and handed them a bag of essentials that Elijah had told her to prepare for their journey back He had packed them the necessary things for their journey and his kindness made Freya grateful that they met him, He had cared for them the very best he could and now they had to leave but Freya was very much grateful to him Though her mind was still clouded by her dark thoughts and she knew Lucien’s eyes have never left her frame since last night, she was sure he was curious to ask but gave her the space she needed.He didn’t say anything but he knew she had a lot on her
“ answer me” The silence was deafening as Freya could hear the sound of her heart beating loudly from Melissa’s questions Her head thrummed and ached when she thought about what Melissa had just said, she might as well have called her a whore, Freya gulped as she looked to Melissa but the Luna stood her ground and waited for an answer “ do you know how desperate and determined he was to find you?”l only for me to find you are playing around with his brother” “ believe it or not Luna Melissa but my feeling is real for Lucien” “And Kaiden? What about his feelings for you?” She asked but before Freya could answer they heard footsteps approaching, Lucien had come in at that very moment to see Melissa was asking Freya questions He could see pure confusion and anxious nerves on Freya’s features as she fiddled with her nails, “ that will be enough for tonight Melissa” he voiced out cutting in as Freya let out a breath she didn’t know she had been holding “ she is tired and she would l
A month before …. .. . Empty. Was a word and way to describe how Kaiden felt, how helpless he felt, losing his love, his brother, and his mother figure all in the same day, It hit him hard when he had to take karas body to the gravestone they had built for her, and her cold body lay in a box, He hated all of it. this nightmare of a reality. And though everyone cried, Kaiden had worked to remain strong, he held everything thing in, all his anger and anguish as he watched karas coffin being pulled to the ground, He hated that they didn’t have much time together, and worse he didn’t have time to mourn her, He left the burial ground to his brother’s private study, he needed somewhere to vent and be alone, his anger knew no bounds as he pushed books and shelves to the ground making him growl out in frustration, but it wasn’t long time till he heard a knock on the door, “ come in” Kaiden muttered as he sat on the chair to face the gamma that had just come in “Prince Kaiden” Sam, o
• FREYA• . . The next day We woke early seeing we had miles of the journey ahead of us, Lucien woke up kissing me with a smile that held so much promise before we got dressed and went out of the cabin to meet our host Melissa. They offered us breakfast and things we needed along the way and we thanked them, as we prepared to leave I saw Melissa watching from a distance her gaze unreadable but I knew she was judging my every existence.I walked up to where she stood, she may dislike me but she gave us refuge so I wanted to show my gratitude “ thank you Luna Melissa thank you for taking us in for the night” She only nodded to me and didn’t even want to speak, but I wasn’t going to have that “ about yesterday,” I started as it gained her attention, “I know you dislike me for a reason I don’t know even though I have never met you personally before this, but you don’t know what I have been through” I continue as I now had her attention and she faced me fully now, I take a deep breath
Emotions could not explain what Freya had felt-what they all felt at that moment, Kaiden had touched Freya’s face softly before he let go and moved to his brother, the brothers gave each other a knowing look packed with relief before Kaiden jumped into Lucien’s arms and hugged his bother tightly“I thought you were a gone-Welcome back brother, thank you, thank you, for staying alive ” he called proudly and he hugged Lucien again, Freya stood and marveled at the two, a smile etched on her face as tears brimmed and fell from the build-up of emotions, Kaiden let go and walked to Freya putting her in a hug, he squeezed her tight “ you are back, you’re here with me” He muttered into her ears and his nose moved to her neck to scent her but he froze from the alarming and deep scent of his brother on Freya’s whole body, The scent screamed for him to ‘back off’ as Kaiden slowly let go and looked at Freya, really looked at her, he could see there was something else there, Something she was
•FREYA• “ you’re mated?” Kaiden called out slowly as he looked at us, his eyes were already turning colder by the second I froze at those words, I didn’t dare speak, only taking in a few gulps as my throat felt constricted I looked to Lucien but his hands only gripped onto harder to my waist as he stared his brother Kaiden down, He didn’t deny it, and I paused as I hadn’t denied it too, Kaiden’s face whirled to me as it paled in a heartbreaking speed, What was I going to say? That I mated his brother? Chose him over Kaiden? And still, shamelessly came back to the pack and claimed that I still missed him even though it was just platonic?My body was still numb from Kara’s death and now this confrontation, this was a whole mess, Kara had told me time and time again I wasn’t cursed, but I couldn’t believe it now, Because if I was not cursed, then why was all this happening to me? Why? Why do I keep hurting the people I care about? “ ..yes, we are, she is my mate, my true mate ” Luc
Lucien stood up from Kaiden’s frame and rushed to Freya’s side, Kaiden had balanced himself up as he watched the scene before him His heart panned in his chest when he saw the tears that filled Freya’s eyes but he was too hurt right now to care, Both of them didn’t care for his feeling, so why should he? What should he give a flying fuck about her? Freya noticed Kaiden’s gaze on her and turned to him, “ Kaiden please, let’s talk, let’s just talk? I will explain everything ok?” She called out in a whisper reaching her hands out for Kaiden but he just stared and glared at her till he backed away, Freya’s heart broke the more, “ so much for promises Princess” he called coldly as he left the two in the darkly lit path, Kaiden left them, and not one time did he turn back, as he left both of them, Freya’s felt her body become cold as he let out silent tears, She felt a pair of arms around her as warmth filled her cooling skin, she sniffed up and leaned into Lucien’s grip and he held h
•FREYA•... “She is my mate!” Lucien announced, I didn’t even notice that I let out a gasp and didn’t know I was loud and everyone had turned to where I stood, looking at me. “ She is my mate and your Luna!” Lucien repeated meeting my eyes, he was announcing this in public to everyone And I just stood there surprised at his declaration, The gasp that escaped from my lips caught the attention of the pack members set closer to her, and they all turn to be shocked at the outcome of Lucien’s announcement, They were all stunned as all mumbles and whispers I’m sure were about me, but I tried to hold my head high, I shouldn’t relent from the stares that would prove their baseless suspicions about me. Right now, they all saw me as something to fear because I was a hybrid, though eyes were on me the only gaze that kept me settled was when I looked at Lucien I faced the gaze of my mate who looked at me with nothing but love, admiration, and respect in his eyes as he came down from the stage
