FREYA’S POVJust like every other evening, I was busy with a book I had been deeply engrossed in for days when Hailey and Lacey rushed in to notify me of the Alpha’s verdict about hosting a feast for all the packs under him.Since I wasn’t the party type, I was not interested in the information and only nodded when I was told. They kept giggling and talking about how they love the pack’s feasts because of foods that will be made available and also since there are several strangers coming in, they might have a good time with any good looking one amidst them.“The last time the Alpha threw a feast, we ate to our fills and I cannot forget the tall, handsome and good looking men that graced the occasion” Lacey voiced out, clutching her hand to her chest.“I know right? I hope everyone coming this time around will be handsome too because I am tired of seeing these bloated bread faces men in the palace. I need a break and opportunity to gaze at some heavenly features that some men out there
EMORY’S POVAs the day of departure was drawing closer, my father called me closer to advise me on how to behave in the place we were going to. Since it was my first time going on an official visit, there will be situations that I wouldn’t be able to handle if they arise but based on his experience on being a Beta, he had one or two things to tell me about them.Nothing beats moving out for my first assignment, I had sworn to myself that I wouldn’t live like him. I will become a stronger and better Beta who will not have his place shared by any advisor.“I have set in place everything you will need while I am gone and Selene will be coming over to check up on you thrice a day” I assured him but he kept telling me not to worry about him because he can take care of himself.I went back to the training yard and coordinated everything necessary to ensure free and smooth movement the following day. We packed all the loaded gifts to the palace where we would stay and depart with the Alpha a
My feet froze at the sight of him. I never expected Ansel to show up at a place like this because it was not his line of work but after seeing the soldier’s uniform on him, I understood the reason why he was there. Nevertheless, I hated the sight of him. Everything in me was boiling as I was looking at him but he didn’t see me so that made me calm myself a bit because all that was passing through my mind was how to strangle him or get his head rolling. “I am the one that wants to kill him the most. If I could, I would have shifted immediately and have him torn to pieces but Freya, we have to keep our cool. The time to deal with him will show up soon” Bea persuaded me and a hot air blew out of my nose to calm my insides before I marched off With a confused face, Remy questioned “You are not greeting the guests anymore?” and I shook my head “I have to attend to something. I forgot about it earlier but it is very urgent” I lied through my teeth as my lips curved into a fake smile “Is
ANSEL’S POVI was out of the room to take a look around and also ask for ointment for my aching waist when I saw the supposed Princess of the pack. She was dressed in a casual gown and seemed to be waiting for someone who was later introduced to be her fiancé later in the day.I was taken aback by the splitting resemblance she had with Freya. Never in my entire life have I ever seen such a scenario where someone be the exact replica of another person.“She’s not Freya, is she?” I found myself questioning my brain before I shook my head and snapped out of it.“How could she be Freya? How can she be here? I must be out of my mind” I said to myself and went on my way.Later, deep in the night, after the banquet, I saw her and her fiancé talking as he was walking her to her quarters. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop but they were also kind of loud about whatever they were talking about.I hid myself in order not to cause any unnecessary ruckus and it was then I heard about her talking of the Pr
Immediately I got inside, I told my maids to excuse us and make sure nobody comes near my chamber. We were both served teas and they left to carry out of my command with immediate effect.After telling him in details about what really went down and how Ansel was the friend I was talking about, his claws were out long and sharp. I could see furs all over his hands as his anger level rose.“So you mean the shithead that made you this way was the person I arrested the other time?” he asked again to be sure he heard well and I slowly noddedWith a loud bang on the table, he stood tall and declared, “You need not to worry. I will make sure he pay for his sins right in this palace” I was still trying to tell him that I didn’t want a situation where the matter would be worse than expected when he disappeared through the door. I ran after him and strangely, the door was locked. No matter how I banged on it, nobody opened it.He didn’t want me to follow him or beg him.“This might not end wel
FREYA’S POV I managed to get the door opened after threatening to make the ladies and their families pay for locking me in my chambers by dragging them to the presence of the Alpha. “Where did Remy go to?” I asked, breathing shakily Lacey pointed to the right side, shifting to the side in fear of what I might do to them “Where exactly?” I yelled in frustration. My eyes were already flickering between silver and red “I don’t know where exactly but it seems he went to the dungeon with the look on his face” Hailey answered with a composed tone and I marched to the place in anger. I was almost opening the door to the main cell when I heard both of them talking and it seemed to be about me so I paused to grasp what was going on. “Emory was the one that set up everything that happened! He staged everything from the beginning to the end!” I heard Ansel reveal but it just didn’t make sense. Given the situation he was in, he could have just lied to get his way out easily. I had lost all
Even though Jun tried to convince me that Ansel was saying the truth, I decided to trust Emory one more time. I had loved him all my life and I needed to believe in that love one more time. “I will just find out instead of sulking about it unnecessarily” I concluded and stood up to go about my normal routine. Remy waited for me to finish my food and we moved out to check everything that was needed for the final festival that would be held in two days’ time since we were both placed in charge by the Alpha. “How do you plan to find out without revealing yourself? Don’t you think whatever it is you are planning is too risky?” he questioned, his voice laced with concern “Just watch out” was my only reply as we matched to the visitor’s quarters I had pretended to just come over in order to pay them a visit as the Princess of the pack and they were all excited to welcome me even though I wasn’t excited to meet them, I was only there for my personal reasons. “I hope you are finding ever
ANSEL’S POVI knew it was a death sentence with the step I took to reveal the true identity of Emory to Freya because she wouldn’t want to believe whatever I was saying in the first place and given the history between us, she would probably have my head with the power she wielded now. Yet, I’d be damned eternally if I didn’t do my part, it was left to her to believe and take heed to my warnings.Never in my life have I been subjected to so much pain. The man that tortured me had the intention of killing me and it was obvious in his eyes portraying his raging emotions. All my body was aching badly and I couldn’t even stand or sit properly without wincing. It was terrible.I had fainted after trying to explain over and over before Jun took over because he knew Freya would at least listen to him. She was the first friend he made after coming out and she had helped him come out without the fear of getting criticized.Thankfully, she was able to digest the information and worked towards it
