“Malia? As in Malia cane? is your father Elijah?” Freya asked the girl in a whisper, and this was the first time Freya has seen the girl’s once hollow and empty eyes light up in shock from just the utter of her father’s name “yes, he is a doctor….h-how do you know that name?” Malia asked with confusion in her voice but before Freya could utter anything else, she heard the heavy steps belonging to Aldro most likely walking up the stairs fast, And Freya gave a few feet of space between her and Malia who kept a distance the door opened to reveal Aldro, he looked between the two of them and Freya’s worries deflated when she saw Malia had mastered the cold stoic face and acted like nothing unusual had been going on, “leave us” he muttered with a bitter tone in his voice as Malia bowed to him and left the room, the room grew cold and quiet as Freya walked to the bed and sat on it with a grim stoned look on her face “what is it? What do you want? I attended that dinner you wanted me to did
•FREYA• . . “ she Is pregnant,” the old woman said and my stomach immediately twisted at her words As The room became utterly still and my now shaking hands moved to my belly, I couldn’t believe, that in me right now was a child, My Child, and Lucien’s. But the thought was bittersweet as my smile immediately faded, I remembered where I was and who was in front of me looking at me with so much anger. His cold eye moved to my belly which I instinctively touched to shield myself from. His monstrous glare, and now my child was in danger because I was in the enemy lair, Oh my God. I could see Aldros angry pacing around the room before he turned back to the witch names Olga, “ and what about my mating ceremony” “ I’m afraid that can’t be done now especially since she is carrying a child” A feeling of triumph washed over me as I saw the glazing contempt in his eye but the uttering of the word ‘child’ to him “ then do something about it!” He raged to the woman as his boots echoed a
•FREYA• I laid on the bed, my body cold from the reoccurring image of the old witch being cut to the ground mercilessly by Aldro and the blood splaying everywhere, But what woke me up from the horrible dream was when I heard the doors lock open, I opened my eyes to see it was Malia who had come in with a tray of food, Her face was as calm and stoic as always and I didn’t react in any way till the guards closed the doors and Malia neared the bed and dropped the tray on the tables and body slightly to me “ hello Malia” I first uttered but no answer, instead I saw her gaze land on me like she was silently studying me, maybe wondering if I was sent to do all this by Aldro to test her loyalty and if I had planned this to catch her Her eyes I’m sure judging my poorly stained gown my cloth coated with dried blood and my face stained with dried tears and swollen eyes, I must look horrible I walked to the small bath at the side, peeling off my clothes from my body, as I got the water and c
•FREYA• Our freedom was all I care about right now, Especially now that Aldro might be unto me, I have a feeling his patience is running thin, especially ever since he sends that the cup of poison he brings to me every morning to be taken by me, I always pour it in the small drains of the toilet before malia comes to take it away, And moons Malia is a great help, and when she told me she was turning seventeen soon, I could not help the surprise that shone on my face, I didn’t want her to see the hurt and pity laced in them as I look at her, Today is the third day she comes with the cup of the poison and after I am done, she goes out, it didn’t take long before Aldro comes in with his hands casually around his back, And now I try to contain my features every day, I try to mask my indifference and not show any hate for him, especially since I want him to let his guard down around me, “ good morning my love,” he says to me as he rounds the room to come touch my face, a touch that
“ Aldro” I gasp as he walks closer to us, from the side of my eye I see Malia had become stiff as a dry twig in response to his dark presence. “ tell me what you are planning Freya! “ he mutters to me darkly but I feign ignorance and confusion, “ what do you mean? What plan!” I asked feigning confusion, but his eyes left mine and traveled to where Malia stood, and in seconds his hands were around her neck “ you think the guards wouldn’t notice all the times she comes to your room and report to me? Tell me what you both are planning!” I couldn’t tell him, I just couldn’t lay out a plan for him, my heart raced as I saw his hand grip harder to her neck “ please stop Aldro, I just wanted a companion! There was no one I could talk to! And the only reason she is still in my room was that I saw the bruise on her arms! I wanted to help!” I explained frantically to him, I just hoped he believes because one wrong word would cause Malia her life! Aldro stared me down like he was contemplatin
•LUCIEN• . . Lost, I utterly was lost. With Freya missing I couldn’t sleep, all my nights were filled with nightmares of her calling my name and I wasn’t there for her. Gods, I was running mad with the thought of my Mate, my beautiful strong mate in the arms of that demon and constant danger every minute she spends there and isn't with meI knew I had gone every with madness as I could feel all my men stay clear of me anytime I walk by, even my brother Kaiden tried his best not to riffle me and make me angry, I stood up after that nightmare, my body lined with cold sweat as I remembered I was in Freya’s old room, I still hadn’t gone back to my room, Her scent was what filled the growing dark void in my heart, but it wasn’t enough, none of this was enough! I had no right to be asleep, to be resting when the love of my life was in total danger with a manic right now, The day after we found out she was gone and Kaiden and the rest scattered and searched the woods, they wanted to
•Kaiden• Lucien carried the girl up in his arms in bridal style, while I walked behind him and kept a lookout, we both look at each other with a look of shock and hope in our eyes as we trudged back to the pack with Malia in Lucien’s arms As soon as we came into the pack, the doctor rushed out and took her into his arms to his clinic with Lucien and me right behind him “what happened?” “She was attacked in the woods by hybrids” Lucien explained as she was put down on the bed luckily her bleeding has seem to stop but she was as pale as snow and her breathing had become harsh “ I will need to take care of her so I need both of you to step out please” We both left the room quietly before I turned to see that my brother was impatient as his body burned with nerves “calm down” I uttered “I can’t calm down, did you hear her she said Freya come on she said Freya needs help! I need to know, if there is a small chance that we can find her, that girl is our only hope” “But we need to hear
Lucien and Kaiden both rushed out of the training ground and into the doctor’s cabin as soon as they heard the news, They barged into the healer’s cabin with burning excitement in their eyes filled with haste and desperation to see the girl. Finally, she was awake and she was going to answer Lucien burning questions that kept him awake all night They reached the private room to see that the strange girl was awake, she was a little spooked to see where she was, And she had steered awake sitting up slowly she noticed the two of them as they entered the room “Hello?” The doctor tried saying but she didn’t answer, more like she was studying the faces of the three men in the room with her, or maybe if they were trustworthy enough “Is this the north pack?” She called quietly from her parched throat, she was still in much pain but looked desperate “ yes this is the north pack, we saved you from those hybrids, tell me what we’re you doing in those woods?” “ My name is Malia, The doctor’s
“Lynx Damian Blackwell! get down from that tree!” Freya muttered as she huffed out holding onto her little girl Fiona while he son swung up the oak tree She couldn’t believe how different her twins were while her son was wild and outgoing, Fiona was quieter and loved to push her lead into books, “Mom I told you I’m scouting the ground for little army men!” And by that, he meant squirrels and Freya wasn’t having any of it, her six-year-old son was going to drive her mad! “ I swear by the moons lynx there will be no outside or playing for a week!” She threatened and he hears a gasp of disbelief from her son who frantically made his way down the tree, But he was too fast and missed a branch before he could reach the ground a pair of arms had caught him and it was his father Lucien “Gotcha you little runt!” “ dad!” Lynx squeaked out with laughter as he squirmed in Lucien’s hands before Lucien set his son on his shoulders, and Freya her racing heart had calmed, and her mate and son smi
(EPILOGUE)A FEW MONTHS LATER…. ..It’s been a few months after their meeting ceremony and the pack was peaceful and happy with their day-to-day lives, Freya was helping out some young female betas and omegas who were interested in gardening, she was already almost seven months into her pregnancy, but that didn’t stop her and the growing love for gardening, Even Lucien had told her to take it easy but she brushes it off, and she always tells him she would be fine, Right now Freya was with two young omegas when were tilling the grounds to plant small seeds, she thought only her husband would be overprotective but everyone treated her like an egg while she was pregnant, “ let me help with that Vera,” Freya said to the young girl but the girl’s eyes widened in panic, “ no! Luna Freya! You can’t bend too much now as you are heavily pregnant! I’ll do this instead we will feel a lot better if you are on the bench” She suggested and the other girl nodded, Freya felt defeated “ call me i
•FREYA• . “Does this fit right? Oh my god, I think I hear a rip, it’s opening, is it opening?” I asked Melissa in panic who laughed out loud before she stood up and marched to me with a hand on her protruding belly since she was two months ahead and her baby bump had started to come out, but her beautiful gown fit well on her body. “you look breathtaking silly” she called to me as she arranged the hands of my white dress and turned me around to peer at myself in the mirror “tell me what you see when you look at yourself” Melissa whispered arranging my curls And the moment my eyes landed on the ring on my hands, my heart calmed down as I could finally see myself, in this dress “beautiful” I worded out as tears threatened to spill, this was it. I was getting married and today is my mating ceremony, of course, we were mated, but this was official, we hadn’t had time since rebuilding the pack security and relationships with other territories, and the thought had never crossed my mind.
Freya and Lucien had stayed for a while before they both said goodbye to the doctor, with Gideon being reluctant to leave Malia, promised her he would make it at least once a week, and Freya could see the smile with a hint of blush grow on Malia’s face on that promise, Fray also suggested by the end of each month that Malia can come to the pack and Gideon immediately offered to be her guide, they couldn’t stay long because Freya’s had somewhere in mind she wanted to go to, After seeing the beautiful moment between Malia and her father, her heart hurt thinking about her father and his unconditional love till death, so Freya did what she thought best as they changed lanes and headed to her old coven, . . They reached the coven grounds at night but it was quiet except for the guards that were shocked to see her and the. Lucien, there was fear that washed over the faces of the guards as they walked in, “ lady Freya, you’re back” “ I’m not staying long, I just need to do something,”
Freya had told the news Malia the very next day, that she was healed and ready to go meet her father, She had wanted this journey for weeks but she just couldn’t risk takeoff on Malia and she might have gotten sicker or worse an infection on the road, and she wasn’t a werewolf or vampire that healed fast so she had to be here for weeks, Malia took it relatively well as a part of excitement shows on her face as she cried and hugged Freya, and the next day they were off to the human lands. Lucien had canceled all meetings he had for the week and accompanied Freya and Melissa, with Gideon begging to come with as a guard for her, but Freya knew otherwise, But she allowed it, They started their journey in the morning to the southern lands where they knew the secret passage was, Melissa was kind enough to give them refuge for the night, They had all been given their superset cabins to sleep but Freya noticed Melissa had been quiet through the journey and only talked a few times to Gide
A lot had happened In three weeks and after Freya’s talk with Melissa, she had opened up to her mate Lucien and told him about her fears, there was no judgment, instead, he stayed by her side and he smothered her to death with kisses and sweet orgasms almost every day, life was going well. The last thing Freya had heard about Dex was that he killed himself as he chose to rather die in his own hands than spend one more day in the humiliation of being their prisoner and knowing he lost, and the talks of Diandra were that she ran far away to seek shelter in a far place the had not gotten a hold of, But the good news was that Malia had become better and more stable and followed Freya for walks occasionally around the pack, it was her first time in weeks that she had left the bed, and Freya could almost giggle at Malia face filled with awe on every turn as they toured the pack, Gone was Malia’s frail thin body and now she was more healthy and had a glow about her, as her real beauty had
•FREYA• . . One minute I’m having the best orgasm and best fuck from my mate and the next thing I wake up in a Freaking nightmare, my body stood frozen over the bodies of Melissa, Kaiden, and Lucien as Aldro laughed in my face, “No, no, no this is all a dream” I chimed to myself as Aldro stared at me, with Lucien’s lifeless body, I tried to reach him but couldn’t, I failed in every attempt as my body was stuck in the same place while I watched the horrific scene before me “ oh this is very much real, wake up from your dream Freya you are still in hell!” he laughed wickedly as he ripped out Lucien’s heart “ no! Please no” I begged desperately but Lucien’s body had already fallen, *Freya, Freya please wake up!* I hear a distant voice call me, and I let out screams, and the next thing I know I woke up in cold sweat to see Lucien at my side, alive and here with me. safe, he huddled me close to him, telling and whispering sweet nothings to help to calm me down as the nightmare still
Lucien’s taste for her was unquenchable, as it set Freya’s insides on fire, she woke up with a loud obscene Moan as she felt the wet licks and thrust in her core, and to her surprise, she opened her eyes to meet the stare of her mate, his dark stare made her body heat up “ you are so beautiful darling, you taste so good, gods I missed this I missed you” he whispered against her throbbing center as he dived back in, “ ahh-yes Lucien more!” She bellowed as Lucien dived in for her, his hands reached her behind to grab and mold on her ass, kneading on the soft flesh as he continued his merciless tongue fucking into her pussy, And just like that that Freya was hot and ready for him, her pussy wet and dripping, and her green eyes turned a purple hue that matched his fiery red ones, “ ah! I’m coming!” She screamed as she edged to her climax, holding onto the sheets for her dear life as Lucien pinned her down and ate her Till be body calmed “ What a way to say good morning” Freya huffed ou
After getting checked up and with a last farewell and goodnight Freya and Lucien both went into their rooms, but something had bugged her since they arrived back to the pack. And that was Lucien’s lack of communication, something was troubling him but he didn’t want to talk, the walk to their room was silent but Lucien never let go of her instead he held her closer as he took her up the stairs in bridal style, Freya was surprised to see the interior of the room had changed drastically gone were the old wooden oak bad and red drapes and sheets but now laid royal blue bedding and other things that have been changed, And the frame had been changed to a more grand one, the desk, everything apart from a small shelf where Freya kept her favorite books, “This is …different,” Freya called, she walked around the room taking in the little details of the room, but her eyes fell to the small shelf where claw marks were grained at the side of the wood “…what happened while I was away?”She called
