Chapter 1.Freda's POV."Get me, Freda Anderson now," I heard the chief physician yell from his office. I was already at his office door and was about to knock. I knew I was in trouble due to the incident that happened earlier, so I had to bring myself to his office before he would tell Vivian to do so.A patient nearly lost her life due to a lack of the medication my team was supposed to administer to her.I had earlier smelled there would be a big problem because of it and as usual, I would be blamed. I'm always to be blamed whenever anything goes wrong with my team even though I'm not the head of my team, I was the least important person among them.I stretched forth my hand to knock on the door but on a second thought, I retreated my hand and took a deep breath.I knew he would yell and say hurtful things as usual and after that, I would cry in the restroom whenever he was done yelling at me.I knew that today won't be any different from other days but I still put up a smile, read
CHAPTER 2FREDA'S POVI WONDER which was heavier the rain or my heart, I could feel both storming heavily as I walked out of the changing room dragging my awkwardly light legs as I went.Today had been one of those days I wouldn't term as being Splendid it was the exact oppositeIt Started right and then switched right in the middle to become one of the worst days of my life, and if there was anything I wanted at that moment it was certainly to forget about how everything had gone down so quickly including the fact that I had been suspended.I walked down the hallway that had faulty lights blinking on and off due to the stormy weather.Surprisingly enough it wasn't as busy as I had expected it to be with just a few people in the waiting room, shivering from the breezing wind while an intern walked in holding warm towels to pass around.One thing was certain and that was the fact that I was going to miss this place for the meantime I was away working on the ground floor as an assistant
CHAPTER 3FREDA'S POV"STAY with me." My voice came out of my larynx trembling. It was obvious I was risking everything bringing this man home as he was still bleeding profusely from the bullet holes but the good thing about everything was that he was conscious for that moment.With one hand over my shoulder, we wobbled into my apartment, he fell to the ground right at the door, his eyes fluttering again about to lose consciousness.I swiped my hands across his face, landing a stinging slap that brought him back to life."Don't die on me," I said, picking him up as we staggered into my kitchen. I placed him right on the table before rushing to get my first aid kit.The man was still groaning when I reached his side."You will be fine," I assured him looking into his dark, dying eyes.His body was getting cold every minute, it had to be the cold from the rain or the fact that he was dying."Fuck." I muttered to myself realizing I had no painkillers to help ease his pain while I got th
CHAPTER 4FREDA'S POVI STARED briskly at this stranger I had no idea about, and if I was being totally sincere he looked so handsome even in his distress.He studied me with curious eyes, it got me wondering why he was doing so as I was filled with a kind of unease with the way he stares burning right Into my soul."Who the hell are you?" He asked again.It was funny he was doing the exact thing I was supposed to be doing, how ironic it was to ask the owner of the house for her identity."I think the question should be who are you rather," I said to the man, not tearing away my gaze from his face.He groaned as he struggled to get up. "Look I don't know who you are or what you've done to me all I want to do is get out of this fucking place." "This fucking place." I looked around and chuckled.This was certainly one ungrateful son of a bitch and I was done smiling with him."Who the hell are you to speak to me in such a manner?" I sounded pissed."After saving your life you didn't de
CHAPTER 5FREDA’S POVI was hurt that Darren ended things with me just because I refused to send this stranger out of my house in his state. But come to think of it, how could Darren be this heartless?Courld it be that he had been looking for reasons to call of the engagement but didn't find any and decided to use this issue as a cover up?Something I fishy and I was sure about it, there was no way he would have called off the marriage just because I wanted to help someone who was in need?"I'm sorry." A voice drifted into my ears."Huh!"I froze for about a second before turning around sharply and to my shock, I saw him standing at the door with a pained expression on his face. “Wait, how long have you been standing there?” I squinted my brows staring intensely at him..“I’m sorry, I know I’m not supposed to eavesdrop but I just couldn’t help it,” He sighed looking as though a child who had been caught doing something bad.What the hell was he saying?He couldn’t help but not give
CHAPTER 6Freda’s POV. "Hummm."I muttered as I woke up with a banging headache, the first thing that came to my mind was ‘Liam’. His well-being and welfare was my utmost priority. I stood and picked a coat from my closet to cover my night dress. I went straight to Liam’s room and stretched my hand to knock on the door when the door opened suddenly, and I was cleared my throat nervously. “I just wanted to check on you,” I said nervously, but hoped silently that he didn’t notice the nervousness in my voice. “Well, I’m okay,” Liam smiled and I shook my head, brushing him lightly before entering his room.“Lie down,” I frowned pointing at the bed."Why?" Liam squinted his brows as he stared at me with a confused expression. “Are you okay?” He frowned as he moved towards me slowly.“What sort of question is this?” I stated with the expression on my face changing.At that moment, all the nervousness I had been feeling disappeared into thin air. “I’m fine,” I continued."I see." Liam
CHAPTER 7FREDA’S POV“You can’t call them!” I said in a panic while Darren wondered if he was about doing something wrong. “You’re acting weird nowadays,” Darren said slowly. I honestly didn’t know what Darren was talking about, so I kept on staring at him with a creased brows. “You say you care for people and feel their pain but why would you do that to him just because he wanted to leave?” Darren asked pointing at the unconscious Liam on the floor. This made me reflect if I did anything wrong, but the moment I remembered I did this just because I wanted him to be safe, I felt happy. “I didn’t change,” I said with a smirk but suddenly remembered that he wanted to report to my family. “Besides, Don’t call my family members to tell them anything,” I said seriously. “It’s none of your business, it’s my duty to tell them about the breakup and not yours,” I added hastily I didn’t want him to be involved in my family issues and dark past, and that was why I wanted to tell them myse
CHAPTER 8FREDA’S POV“What in heaven’s name is happening here?” I asked shockingly and that instant, I saw Liam walk out of the Kitchen in an apron. The dining was filled with dishes of Chicken Marsala, but I still couldn’t believe the sight before me. “Liam! You...What were you doing in there?” I asked the moment I was able to find my voice. “Why?” He asked confusingly. “I just noticed you were about cooking and you left halfway to the hospital, so I decided to help you cook it,” Liam explained, as I furrowed my brows in shock. “You know how to cook?” I asked surprisingly. Thinking about it, Darren had never prepared any meal for me but, Liam was just doing so. “Well I didn’t know how I cooked it, I just put things together with what I guessed and they gave me this,” Liam smiled pointing at the food on the dining. “I’ll join you later,” I said, as I headed straight to my room. My body was reeking of sweat, so bathing that moment was the only thing on my mind. Quickly, I rus
Zack's pov (Finale)"Where is Freda? " I said, cutting straight to the chase. "First I need the money, sir. " he said. I took out my phone. "Call out your account number. " I said. He called it out, I wired the money to him. "Now, tell me. " I said. "Remember that closed end road that used be a cave? " he asked. I racked my brain. It came to me suddenly. I and Kaine used to play there when we were kids before my father closed the cave. "Yes. " I said. "Kaine opened it up when he was alpha. Not many people knew about it. That has been Kaine's hideout and that is where he is holding Freda. " he said. I looked at Aiden, he looked right back at me. "I think I know where he is talking about. " he said."I think I do too. How come we never searched there? " I said. "Beats me. " Aiden replied. He grabbed the man by his shirt, a little roughly. "If we find out that you lied to us, trust me, Kaine will be the least of your worries. " he snarled. The poor man looked terr
Zack's POVI had just sent Rosa away from my study. The little witch had tried to seduce me. Had I not been quick to stop her, it would have been a problem. What if Freda had walked in here and saw us in that compromising position with her. When Freda had told me that they would be staying in the mansion with us, I had felt a little skeptical about everything. I had gotten nothing but bad vibes from them since we went to Freda's home at their mansion. He stepmother looked malicious and kept giving her the stink eye. She was also so cold and unreceptive when she saw Freda. Almost as if she was not happy that she is alive and well. She blamed her for everything that had happened to their family and still does. More to it, she had especially being insistent that Freda takes up the alpha position and was very enraged as well disappointed when Freda turned their suggestion down. I immediately did not like her. As if she was not so negative towards Freda, she had extended an olive b
Rosa’s povDay after day, the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and the months to years. It has been just I a f my mother in this big mansion that my father left for us to live in. It has just been the both of us. Oh and mr Peterson. My mom had said that he was a butler to my father when my father was still the alpha of the red moon pack. That was before my father was banished from the pack. I and my mother have lived away from the pack. My mother is my father’s second wife and because he had a child with his first woman, I am not a direct descendant of the alpha bloodline. This is why my mother could not contest for the title. I had just wrapped up from college. Going to college had kept me sane for a while. But I had to go home occasionally to make sure my mom does not get lonely. My half sister, Freda, had been lost for a long time. She was to be a direct heir for the title. But Freda had showed up at the mansion. We were both stunned to see that she is alive and well. She i
Mabel’s pov“What do you mean take my place as alpha. I have no intentions of doing that. “ I heard Freda say to Mr Peterson. I stayed close to the door listening to the conversation between Freda and Mr Peterson. “Yes, yes you must. It is your legacy after all. You have to lay claim to the alpha title. It was meant to be yours. “ Mr Peterson said to Freda. “He is right. “I said stepping out of the the main building as well. “If you don’t want it, do it for your family, for us. You owe that much to us. “ I added. Freda turned to face Zack. He looked surprised and a little lost at what to do with what was unfolding before them. “Zack? “ Freda called, her question to him hanging heavily in the air. I could clearly see something strong was between both of them. They were probably in love or something. Zack sighed deeply, rubbed his face with his palm and looked at me. “I will not do it. They want me to raise a coup against you. You are alpha of the red moon pack and no one else.
Freda pov “In truth, the actual alpha of the Blood Moon pack was Freda’s father,” the Mr Peterson declared, his voice carrying the weight of revelation. I and Zack exchanged stunned glances, our minds reeling with the implications of this unexpected disclosure. “What do you mean? “ Zack asked. “My father has been alpha and his father before him. “ Zack said. “No. Freda’s father was alpha. Her father was banished and had to travel to the city. That’s when Zack parents step in as alpha Her dad vowed never to go back to the back. “ he said. “How is this possible, Mr Peterson? I know my father is a warewolf but alpha? That is too far stretched. “I said. “Oh but, that is the truth, however bitter it may sound. Your father was alpha and you are a direct descendant of the alpha line. Whether your father was banished or not. “ he replied. The Mr Peterson continued, delving deeper into the intricate tapestry of their family’s past. My father, a man of great strength and pride, had been
Freda’s povHe faced me. “I presume you have questions for me, young lady. “ he said. “I do. “ I replied. “But first, do come in, please. “ he said as he led us into the cabin. He gave us tea to drink. When he sat down with us, I started, “Mr Peterson, I just discovered that I am a warewolf but I have lived as a human all my life. How is that possible? “ I asked. Mr Peterson sighed. “I think it is time to call for a family meeting. They need to know that you are still alive. They all thought you were dead all these time. “ he said. “What do you mean by family? Is my mom alive? “ I asked, my voice shaking. Mr Peterson got up and left to make the calls. I felt Zack’s hand on my back. “It will be okay. I am right here with you. “ he said. He held my hand in his. I nodded. “Thank you, Zack” I said. I reached out and held his hand. He gave me a little squeeze with a side small. “Always “, he mouthed. He stood up and walked around the living room observing things. The cabin gave
Freda's POVZack announced to everyone that Annie had left the pack. The staff seemed to whisper among themselves. "She never said she was leaving.""It never seemed like she was ready to leave. ""I thought she was trying to get back with Lord Zack. "Zack cleared his throat and the whispers stopped. "Due to pressing personal matters that surfaced, Annie had to leave. I will appreciate if there are no whispers in her absence. " he said. "You may continue. " he announced. Zack reduced the feast days to two days for my sake. I was in no mood for more celebration. My mind was racing with thoughts. Zack, knowing well that I may not talk much with people. I mean, I just killed someone. And although it was on a basis of self defense, it did not make me feel better. I felt terrible that Annie had to die like that. I never meant harm for her. The mansion was a bit quiet without her. She was usually everywhere trying to take change of every single little thing. She put on a com
Freda’s pov“Somebody help me!!!! “ I screamed. She gripped my neck and squeezed tight. Her gaze focused on the my necklace. I have always worn it. My mother had given it to me. “No, don’t touch it. “ I said. “Awwn, I’m curious though. “ she said. Annie held it and pulled at it. Just then I felt a surge of energy through my body. I felt my body break and change. I felt my teeth grow longer. I grew to the same height as Annie. She looked at me, startled at what she was seeing. “What in the w—” she started to say. With a powerful force, I slashed at her throat, killing her on the spot. I was panting so hard, trying to catch my breath. When I had calmed down a bit, I looked down at Annie. She lay still on the ground and a lot of blood was spilling from her neck. “No no no no no. “ I said as I crouched down to her. I pressed my hands against her neck trying to stop the bleeding as much as I could. “Annie? Annie? “ I said, slapping her lightly on her face. “Wake up Annie.....
Freda's pov"Remember when you asked me to marry you? " I asked. He nodded. "Does it still stand? " I asked. "Are you saying yes? " he asked, excited. I nodded. He picked me up from the ground and rained kisses on my face. "We would hold a feast to celebrate this. " he said. He was grinning from ear to ear. "What made you change your mind by the way? I thought you wanted to wait? " he asked. Thinking of what to say, I turned around and walked towards the window. "I know I wanted to wait and I thought that was the best decision as at the time. " I said. I turned and faced him. "But I just went through a near death experience and during that moment all I could think of was you and how I could have allowed myself to be happy with what we have. Not thinking of what the people will say or think about it. " I said. I moved closer to him. "I know I kept you on hold but at that moment all I had were regrets for not taking the chance with you. " I said. I took his hands i
