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

    • 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

    “ Something happened with you and Melissa didn't it?” Freya voiced out as Kaiden became quiet Freya had lashed out at him to get a reaction from him, but she didn’t know he had something with Melissa, Freya stared at Kaiden’s behavior how he became quiet and his nose flared in panic, that was when it dawned on her “ you slept with her then” “You…you have no idea what I went through I wanted to numb the pain from missing you Freya, and Melissa was right there, she gave me a shoulder to lean on,” He explained as his eyes flared,” and I gave in…it was a one-night thing, she agreed to it and I did too,” “But I’m the bad guy?” “ It’s different Freya! I thought you were dead, I needed comfort from her, she understood since me, Melissa also lost her partner and I lost mine, we wanted to because I lost you, but it’s different with you Freya!

But her luck ran out when her doors opened up and it was Lucien standing there waiting for her, his face fell immediately as he caught a whiff of her soured scent that filtered around the room. “ What happened?” He called as he marched Straight to her in large stride and took her face into his large warm hands “ why are you crying love?….was it Kaiden” “ no….maybe?” “ That bastard! I’ll talk some senses into him”, he snarled as he walked to the door but Freya drew him back before he could hold the door knob. “ no! I don’t want you to go there, I know how this will turn out and you are angry right now” “And you are crying right now” “ I’m not hurt, just sad, so please stay, stay and hold me” she called out and Lucien was weak in the knees for her pretty emerald

    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
