1. THE PROPOSAL
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56FREYA’S POV
The musky and sweet smell of a leaf pile filled the air as I strolled briskly around the abandoned park which held most of my memories with Emory. We would always meet there almost every evening to catch up on our days and discuss every other things we felt was needed to be discussed.
That particular evening, I was riding the broken carousel and got carried away by the excitement without noticing that the one I was waiting for had arrived at the pack. The fresh smell added to my joy as I closed my eyes to enjoy the faint smell gently passing under my nostrils.
It was glorious!
The perfect romantic scene of holding hands with Emory was still playing in my head when a soft voice called out “Freya”, cutting the moment short but I wasn’t annoyed.
I was there for him after all.
“Did you have a nice day?” his softly brittle voice inquired as we linked hands under the huge maple tree and I shyly responded with a mellow “It went fine but it wouldn’t have been completed without you”
That was completely cheesy but it needed to be said, I love Emory so much, and he does. So, why hold back in expressing how important he is to my life?
“Mine wouldn’t have been completed without you too” I heard him respond and my heartbeat accelerated.
That was all I needed, he didn’t make me feel like a fool.
Our hands flung up and down as we touched everything we had planned to discuss. I didn’t fail to whine about how the kids in my lesson class were giving me so much trouble for the past few days. They all wanted to enjoy the holiday but their parents wanted them to study so I was kept in the middle of rebellious children and strict parents.
“You will soon stop doing this so I think you should enjoy this short moment before you start missing it” he advised and that was the encouragement I needed.
It is only for a short while like he had said.
My shoelace got stuck in a twig all of a sudden and I paused to gently fix it in order not to snap it when he went down on his knees to fix it for me. I was still thinking about how it was so sweet of him when he slowly reached for my hand.
“Freya” his voice almost broken.
His eyes were shaky and watery, still they glistened with so much happiness and expectations. They were exceptionally beautiful that evening under the setting sun. The sudden and gentle call of my name sent my mind into a frenzy mode.
“Ye… eess” I stuttered, wondering why my heart was beating fast into my mouth.
His throat got elongated and retracted in the span of seconds as anxiousness swept over him, making my own chest rise higher.
“It’s not what I am thinking right?” I managed to mumble and his eyes shone as he raised them at me from below.
His subtle “It is” almost made me shriek. His hand reached for mine and the spark went off.
I almost screamed!
With his right hand coming out of his pocket, he finally asked the question “Will you marry me, Freya?” and my naughty instinct kicked in immediately.
I didn’t hesitate to ask “Why?” to his surprise and that took him aback.
His gaze went from being locked with mine to wandering around the dimly lit empty park. It took almost two minutes before he found his voice.
“I love how we meet and discuss here, I love how I spend time with you. Having someone waiting for you to tell them how your day went is a huge blessing and I want to bring this happiness closer to me. I don’t want to run to an empty park anymore, I want to run home and hold you tight. I want someone to greet me with a warm smile, with the assurance that they would always be there” he gently explained and I didn’t let him finish his line before screaming “Yes, I will!”
Emory was everything I could ask for!
Bubbly feelings of excitement surged through my body as the ring slipped through my slender, long fingers and it was the exact fit. Everything was sealed and perfect at that point, nothing else mattered.
“Must be nice, you are so happy that you could shift right now!” Bea commented and let out a mellow rumble but I was too happy to pay her any attention, she has always been like that after all.
The engagement meant everything to me. I had always been scared of being jilted by Emory due to the much difference in class and status but we have really come a long way and this assurance was all I needed to know that wouldn’t be happening.
An omega like me has always been considered too lucky to have a Beta’s son as a mate. Ever since the selection night, I had always been the gossip of the town.
“You are not worthy of such a mate, I wonder what the moon goddess was thinking about when she did the matchmaking”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if she ever get jilted or rejected along the line”
“They just do not fit”
Those spiteful and hurtful remarks were what I had endured for the past three years. At first, it was too hard and I wanted to give up but Emory kept reassuring me that he would never reject me, he loves me after all.
My tear glands could not contain the surge in water, they released the tears without my permission and I didn’t resist it, I just let them flow. It was like a victory at last and I couldn’t wait to flaunt it to everyone’s face that I now have my space sealed in Emory’s heart.
We didn’t need to discuss any other thing that evening, the unspeakable joy that filled was our hearts were enough. We only stared at each other, giggled and rode on the broken carousel which he pushed till he was tired before walking me home and left for his.
“I can’t wait to be your wife” I remarked before letting go of his hand and he returned the same phrase “I can’t wait to have you as my wife” with a solid and assured voice before parting ways with me that night.
Never did I ever think the day would never come…..

My mother, Kimble was picking the herbs at the garden by the time I got home and I rushed to her side to flaunt my newly acquired ring. The stone on the ring flashed as it basked in the glory of the setting sun as it fell on it.“What is that on your finger?” she asked, trying to get a good look“Did you get a new ring? You just love to buy unnecessary things” she started to scold me and the big smile on my face dropped at her reaction only for her to realize and pause when she saw the position of the ring on my finger.She almost stuttered, “By chance… did Emory?” her hands rushed to her mouth to cover it up.“It took you so late to realize” my eyes rolledShe jumped at me and pulled me in a tight hug. Her reaction was obvious that she was happier than me at that point and I did understand her.“What if the pressure around makes him reject you?”“I honestly don’t think this will work out”“Will your love be enough to cover up for the distance in class?” Those were her worries all th

The wedding date was picked finally and I started cutting down on my foods in order to stay in shape. I resigned from the lesson class and stayed indoor to keep my skin intact with the help of my mother who made sure to feed me only healthy foods and getting me skincare herbs to improve my skin conditions.We spent all day talking about life after my wedding with her giving me advice on how to handle things as a wife, how to support my husband and make sure to build a powerful home that is befitting the standard of a Beta’s lineage.I informed my mother one afternoon “I should meet up with my friends, I won’t be able to see them often when I move into the Beta’s family” and she told me to have fun.I hopped happily to the venue we agreed upon but if I had known that would be the location of my biggest tragedy, I would have just sat down at home. I would have turned them down, I would have given them excuse but I didn’t see it coming, I trusted them, they were my friends after all, I m

Emory walked into the room as I was coming out of the bathroom where I went to clean myself up and I welcomed him with a bright smile. “Hey, you are here” I waved as I walked to my bed.My heart beating so loud it could break out of its ribcage.“I had no choice to come over since you didn’t show up. We agreed to meet today but you didn’t come” he responded and it dawned on me that I had forgotten our meeting, thanks to the ugly situation I found myself.I palmed my forehead as I muttered “I had forgotten totally” with my eyes closed but he told me it was okay.What a sweet gentleman my groom was, he didn’t deserve these lies and deceit.He only came to check up on me to see if I was fine. “Since you are fine, I will be on my way because I have to attend to something” he announced and headed for the door to take his leave.I rushed to hold his hand making him look back in shock. My eyes were trembling with fear but I quickly sealed it off with a smile.“You love me dearly right?” I as

The Alpha had just woken up after being in a meeting with different officials all night when the Beta’s son rushed inside his chamber after he gave the order to let him in.“What are you doing in the palace so early?” he asked, scratching his eyes while yawning loudly. The sleep he got was not enough and it was still taking a toll on him.He rushed to kneel on his left leg as a form of respect with his left hand resting on his right leg before announcing, “The princess is nowhere to be found”. At the mention of the princess, the sleep flew away from the eyes of the Alpha.He sprang up, kicking his blanket away as he almost stumbled, “What do you mean the princess is nowhere to be found? How did she get out of the palace? What of her guards?” he screamed. “I heard she told them not to follow her, she took out the guards at the gate when they tried to stop her. She left at dawn but she haven’t come back till now and it’s getting pretty late” Remy explained and a loud growl emerged from

The wedding morning came and everyone was filled with smiles and joy as they danced to the bride’s room to help her dress up and usher her out. Aria and Anais came very early to help with necessary things but Kimble directed them to Freya’s room.“Help her dress up on time, the wedding will start soon” she told them and they rushed to her room but was greeted by an empty room. “Is she taking her bath?” Anais wondered and matched to the bathroom but she was nowhere to be found.Fear gripped them as they started ransacking everywhere to look for her. They quickly alerted her parents and the search party began, everyone was looking for her at one corner or the other but she was not in sight.For good two hours, everyone keep searching every possible place she might be but it was a futile effort.Her mother was puzzled about whatever might have happened, different scenario was playing in her head but the wedding was the least of her concerns right now, she needed for find her child. “She

I cannot deny that I am not exhausted with all these new faces but I began to adapt faster than I had thought I would. The strange face that barged into my room without courtesy was apparently my elder brother. How can a brother be so full of spite? Well that’s because he’s my step-brother.With the way I and Bea scanned him, he was a bitter and wicked person to the princess so they didn’t get along. He must have been happy that she was lost but now that she came back, he failed at hiding his bitterness of her return. I could deduce immediately that he’s someone I need to beware of, with the look on his face, he’s an enemy of the lost princess.“You are really back” he blurt with a scoff that expressed bitterness.My eyes rolled unintentionally at the absurdity of his first sentence to someone who was lost and I didn’t know when “What is it? Are you not happy that your plan didn’t work?” flew out of my mouth and he raised his brows to counter my claim.Did I say something I shouldn’t

Kimble still haven’t given up over the disappearance of her daughter. She was always going through every streets and corners to see if she would come across her but all was to no avail. She even went to visit Aria and Anais in order to interview them if Freya had discussed anything about running away or voiced her displeasure for the wedding she was supposed to have with Emory.“She had never discussed running away with us. She was all happy and grinning about the wedding when she was telling us about it so there was no displeasure she expressed about it. Even when we told her that she was being too obvious about it, she only said that was because she was happy getting married to the one she loves and will continue to love till her last breathe” Anais explained.Aria supported the claim by narrating how she told her about the thrill of living as Emory’s wife, the respect and how she will be able to support him officially from behind since she will be his wife by then. “She had never f

“You need to get ready for the party my princess” he announced and I scrunched my nose in disgust. So annoying! I stood up and turned to face him, I could not bear the fact that he was around me. He is just like a shadow to me and would not budge from my side no matter how harsh I was to him. I understand that he is my mate but then he should have other things he’s attending to, why is he always in my chambers every moment of the day? “And if I don’t feel like going? You cannot force me to a party that I don’t want to attend” I protested with my hands in akimbo as I rolled my eyes at the same time. He silently motioned to the maids and they rushed to my side, “We are sorry my princess but you need to get prepared” they told me and I was still about to ask if they were on my side or that of our annoying handsome man when they grabbed each hand and pulled me to the mirror where they began to attend to my hair and face. “What are you both doing? I don’t want to go anywhere so leave me

I also started taking some lessons about the pack and the palace etiquettes too so I wasn’t idle. I postponed the training session till he would be done with his exams. I didn’t want to serve as a disturbance even though he wouldn’t count it as one but I couldn’t hold it anymore one day and went to visit him in the library. I had taken my time to make him the honey biscuit snacks that he said was his favorite and marched to the library on the last day of his preparation. He was to take the exams the following day outside the pack where his teachers would be examining him in different aspects. “Hey!” I called out to him and waved with a big smile at the library’s door One could tell from his face that suddenly brightened up that he was so happy to see me “How is it going? Are you getting the hang of it?” I asked and walked in “I am trying my best” he sighed. His eyes were a bit puffy and swollen, he had been reading nonstop and it was easy to tell that his sleeping schedule had be

“Did I love Julia truly?” he asked again and I kept my gaze, waiting for his answer“I did love her but I wouldn’t say as much as I love you. When we were mated, I told her that I wouldn’t do it since I couldn’t feel the attraction even though we were mates and she told me to just pretend. She said she didn’t mind all the love and all that as long as I can protect her and also help her out in her missions. Since I didn’t hate her too, I just accepted and we had no problem. I did all she asked for and I never pressured her, I waited by her side for five years to see her decision which she recently made by rejecting me” he answered without breaking the gaze lock we hadA sigh dropped from me at what he said and I stepped back. His eyes wondered in confusion but I ignored that and just swept my hair back in anger.“That brat! How dare she use you and discard you that way? I mean you are everything a lady could ever ask for!

For months, I wasn’t allowed to step out of the house without adequate protection. My dramatic parents even hired guards to follow me out anytime I had to something outside the house. At the end of the fifth month, I had to fight them about it and told them that I was strong enough to defend myself and they eventually withdrew the guards.That afternoon, I was in the house knitting in my free time when the door to my room opened“I have to deliver some sweaters but I am tired right now. I will take them there in the evening” My mother said to me as she came inside my room to check up on me since I was there all day“Give them to me. I will deliver them on your behalf” I proposedShe was excited at my offer, it was the reason why she was there obviously. She wanted me to go out on her behalf but didn’t want to tell me directly. The destinations I had to deliver the sweaters to, were far apart so it took some hours before I was done and came back home.My mother ran to tell me about the

I didn’t know what to say at first so I just continued staring at her till she spoke up.“Was the life in the palace bearable? It must not have been easy to pretend that you were the Princess” she finally askedI nodded my head twice, softly and responded. “It was a bit bearable. The doctor’s report gave me the pass I needed” “The doctor’s pass?” her brows curved in confusion“Yea. I woke up to get a report that I had lost my memories even though they were intact” I confirmed and a smile flashed through her lips“Doctor Dax haven’t stopped jumping into conclusions” she murmured but it was loud enough for me to hear“So I heard that you insisted on going back to your pack” she added and I confirmedA little time of silence followed as we both stared at each other without saying a word.“Why don’t you stay though? The palace is wide enough to contain us” she proposed but I only laughed and shook my head“I would have loved to do that but my place is not here. It would be awkward to sta

Uncle Anson found out from one of the soldiers that saw the Prince walking to the flower field and knew that he might have seen the vampire sucking the lad he captured for him. Immediately, he got in contact with the vampires’ side and told them that they have to strike unannounced because the Prince was already catching up on them.They had waited for the Prince to come back to the border and entered the pack unnoticed through the help of Uncle Anson who was in charge of the border. Unknown to them, the other side also had their plans ready so they weren’t caught unprepared.He had wanted to take over the pack with the help of the humans so he sold the captured wolves from other packs to the human world by letting them by through their own packs as a route for years and got money in return.

We were not prepared to leave yet but we had no choice to be on our way and there was no enough time to alert Freya.“I just hope that they are preparing hard over there” I sighed as I grabbed unto the small bag and slung it over my shoulder while I took Onieros by the hand“I know a shortcut to the werewolves’ packs.

FREYA’S POVI finally remembered that I had seen the currency from Uncle Anson and raced back to the library to tell Remy that I had found the place I saw it and told him where. He couldn’t process the reason why he would have it and tried to give excuses that it might have been a souvenir he received from the passing human merchants at the border but I was not convinced. It was too many to be tagged as a souvenir and I was sure there was something else fishy going on. He had too much pointing at him to be pure.“I think we need to include the Prince at this time. He needs to know what’s happening in the pack so we can all prepare” I suggested to Remy who in turn told me to calm down and find a solid evidence before taking a step since it involves the Alpha’s uncle“You know Julia also told me about the vampire plan. We have to alert the appropriate quarters as soon as possible. This fight cannot be won if fought silently” I insisted and right there, the Prince walked in on us“What f

I couldn’t sleep well after the Princess left because of what she said. It was what I had been waiting for all the days of my life but now that she mentioned it, I felt reluctant to leave. I was used to the palace and everyone around there, I was starting to know them and also build relationship with them, to be sincere, I was also in love with Remy even though I knew I shouldn’t do that.“I honestly do not know what to do” I sighed under the huge blanket and slowly drifted off to sleep after a long night of tossing and turning***The sun was high in the sky before I woke up thanks to my tiredness and I decided to spend each passing day meaningfully as from that morning. I drafted out everyone I wanted to spend each day with and what I wanted to do with and for them so I would have enough time to say a proper goodbye before the next Friday that the Princess would come back to my dreams.I got several bundles of yarn in different colors and sat inside all day, knitting several pieces

I knew that would be the next question they would ask and I was ready to provide the answer on the condition that none of them would make any move on Emory until I was ready to do so. From their talk, it was evident that he was now the acting Beta in place of his father and his governance was a bit ruthless.After telling the story of how I ran away and what happened between me and Ansel, their jaws were on the floor. They could not believe Emory could do all I had said because of how he pretended to love me unconditionally but actually had another plan for me.“You son of the devil! How could you do that her?” my mother growled and charged at Ansel who didn’t avoid her even though he could since he saw her coming. He probably didn’t dodge because he believed he deserved it.“It was not his fault. He was also blackmailed!” I shouted in defense and rushed to hold my mother backAfter all the ruse, she finally helped me treat the bite. “As much as I want to understand you, I hope you al
