CHAPTER 21 LIAM’S POV. I was very worried, as to the reason why Darren did what he did alongside Ruby. I knew that Darren did it to get back at Freda because of the way she refused to send me out of the house. I cussed silently and wished to know if it was all true. All of a sudden, I remembered something and sighed lightly. I suddenly remembered that Freda has never spoken about or even spoken to her family since he met her. I wondered if everything was alright and cool, because I knew that Freda would have told me if she had spoken to her parents. Not to brag though, but I feel I’m the closest person in her life. Well, I knew that I found it difficult to trust people, but I just can’t understand why I find it very easy trusting Freda. Like I believe every little thing she says, and it made me wonder if I was okay. I knew I wasn’t soft, I knew I was different, but I didn’t know it in the specific direction. I just hoped and wished every single day, that when I find out who
Chapter 22 FREDA’S POV Sadly, Liam has been going through so much lately..... Yeah, I managed to get him a phone so he could use to while away time or maybe explore the internet whenever he’s alone so he would while away his time whenever I’m not there. The last conversation I had with him made me know that in as much as he’s trying to cover up, he’s been very emotional of recent. FLASHBACK While I was leaving the house to go run some errands, Liam called out to me from the couch. "Freda, can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked. "Sure, what's up?" I replied, turning to face him. "I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done for me," he said, his eyes looking watery. "I know I haven't been the best company lately, and I've been a real burden on you." "You're not a burden, Liam," I said, sitting down next to him on the couch. "I care about you, and I want to help you through this." “And you’ve also been the best company one could ever ask of,” I added. "I know,
CHAPTER 23 LIAM’S POV. I’ve managed to come out of my shell, and I was glad that I overcame it quickly. I’ve been feeling weird of recent but I know I need to ignore whatever this feeling was just to be there for Freda. Freda was going through a lot and I swore that I was beginning to feel uncomfortable of the fact that she was thinking about my well-being despite facing all these. My phone’s ringtone jolted me back to reality and a light smile appeared on my face when I saw Freda as the caller ID. “Hey,” Her voice echoed and I chuckled lightly. I was happy that she was happy, even though I knew that it wouldn’t last long. “How are you?” I smiled lightly. “I’m okay, although I called to check up on you,” She said, her voice was loud and full of life. It was enough to ensure that she was okay. “I’m good,” I smiled and paused. “When are you coming back? I was thinking if we could watch a movie together,” I said “I’ll be back soon, and I’ll surely love to watch a movie with y
CHAPTER 24Author’s POV. Liam and Freda has been trying their best to be each other’s keeper. Liam has been battling with his vision he’s been seeing recently. But today’s own was different, as he saw a blurred image of himself addressing people. They were in a big room with a wide table, some kind of meeting or an announcement that they have been invited. He heard the same words over and over again. “…and we hope to bring new things into the......” He didn’t hear the last part and it confused him the more. The image was still blurry and Liam couldn’t make out what they said but it made him sad.He wondered what exactly was happening to him and why things were appearing in bits. Liam felt like there was something missing from him. Something important, something that could change him for the better. And it was all just too much for Liam to cope with.He needed to cool his head, or just do something to distract him from whatever is beginning to happen to him. Maybe then he would
CHAPTER 25 FREDA’S POV. I don’t know if I found it difficult to move on from Darren or if I was just being stupid. I knew that the way I acted with Liam yesterday was so odd and weird, that I knew that the latter would be wondering if I was okay. How could I act indifferent to a news like that? How could my ex fiancé that broke my heart, suddenly show up to start hurting my patient—my friend. I picked up my phone and dialed his number. I waited patiently for it to ring, but it suddenly disconnected. It seemed he was out of a network coverage area, so that was why it didn’t connect. I sighed and dropped my phone on the desk with so much hatred coursing in my veins. I hated Darren so much, but deep down I knew I still loved him. I suddenly became confused about the particular feeling I had towards him, yet I still couldn’t place a finger on it. I remembered the way I had dodged Liam this morning and anything that would make him bring up the topic of us discussing whenever I w
CHAPTER 26Author’s POV. It’s been a month since the air cleared up between Liam and Freda. Things has obviously changed!The young boy which grew fond of Freda suddenly recovered and was discharged. “I’ll always visit you,” She remembered the young boy telling her at the verge of tears. She really misses him because it turned out that he was the one who helped her to ease off stress whenever she had a tiring day at the office. She has also not heard from Darren and it seemed more like she had forgotten about him, including Ruby. Liam on the other hand was going through a lot. He has been seeing his body shift into things he didn’t know. It was more like a puzzle for him to fix. At times, it comes like a dream, while at times, it comes like a vision. Sometimes it comes in dreams when he is sleeping but sometimes, it will come in vivid dreams during moments of waking.He has lost a lot of weight and looks so tired.He also hasn’t stopped thinking about Freda and hoped she was
CHAPTER 27 LIAM’S POV. Freda was ready to leave, yet I was shaking in nervousness. I wasn’t ready to be left alone in the house again, because I was beginning to be scared of my dreams—memories. “I’d need to find a job seriously,” I said, but didn’t know when I said it loudly. “What?” She asked with a weird look on her face, and I widened my eyes in shock. I didn’t know when I said it out....It was just meant to remain in my head. I flicked my head numerous times with a look of an apology, but Freda wasn’t ready to buy that. “Really,” She said and continued almost immediately when she didn’t get any response from me, “I thought we’ve spoken about this,” “Yeah, so it’s a slip of tongue,” I said and she stared at me for a while, before she ventured out of the house without a single word. She got straight into her car and after a few minutes, the engine ignited. Seconds after, She drove out speedily. It seemed like I didn’t even have time to say goodbye to her—or anything, re
CHAPTER 28FREDA’S POVThis past few weeks has been a good one for both Liam and I.. We spent most of their time together and that was cool for them. At least, We have become free with each other to the extent that we freely hug each other without feeling weird. Liam follows me wherever I go so he can be able to distract himself, and it’s been working except that he doesn’t follow me to work. That morning while Liam was in the living room, sipping some coffee, I walked downstairs quickly. I Wore a five inch black heels with a fitted black gown and a black purse. I was rushing out of the house when Liam suddenly stopped me with a creased brows. That’s the first time he saw me wear a heel to the office coupled with the fact that I was rushing out. He wanted to confirm if I was actually going to the office, but to his surprise I replied affirmatively. “How come?” He asked me and it was my turn to be confused. “Why are you rushing out, coupled with the fact that you dressed reall
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
