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
CHAPTER 9Freda’s POV I woke up the next morning with a bang on my door and I knew instantly that it was definitely no one but Ruby. I got up and dragged my legs to open the door for her, just to meet the confused look on her face and I knew immediately that Ruby must have met Liam. “That man in your house?” This was the first thing that escaped her mouth when her eyes met with mine. I widened my door for her to come inside which she did without delay. “You have to start talking, so I’ll understand everything,” Ruby said with a very serious look, leaving me to nod. That was one of the reasons why I called her, so I could talk to her and feel better. I wasted no time in explaining to her about how I met Liam, and how I also saved him. The atmosphere became tense when I suddenly mentioned that Darren caught sight of Liam in my house and Ruby couldn’t hold back her scream. “No way!!!!” She screamed but I was quick to cover her mouth, making her words become a muffled sound. “Ple
CHAPTER 10Liam’s POV. I stared at the girl before me with anger coursing through my veins. Not that I was angry with her, nor Freda, but I was angry at myself because I was a coward!How could I just forget who I was and the memories I must have shared with those who I called family or friends. The fact that Freda’s friend was a talkative made me not to like her, coupled with reasons unknown to me. I just didn’t know why my instinct failed to trust her or believe that she was real. But I felt I was wrong to suddenly hate someone with no just cause. At least, I know that it wasn’t my fault that I developed amnesia, but I couldn’t help but “Because I mean if you try, you can at least remember something,” She said again and I sighed. Wasn’t she supposed to know when to shut up, even after refusing to reply her. I opened my mouth but Freda beat me to it. “Ruby, please watch your tongue,” Freda said as I stared at her surprisingly. “It’s not his fault that he’s suddenly sufferin
Freda’s POV I walked into the hospital, hoping I’d be able to avoid Vivian and Mr. Adams that day. I went straight to my office the moment I got to the hospital and began attending to some work I had abandoned for a long time, trying to avoid anything that would make Mr. Adams hurl insults at me. “Look who came early today?” I heard her voice and refused to look up, so I could avoid anything that would make me angry or cause me to say things I would regret later on. “I’m talking to you!” Vivian said and took steady steps towards my table. She sat on the vacant chair and kept her leg on the table, obviously distracting me from my work. “Please, leave me alone,” I pleaded, because I wouldn’t want to do anything that would jeopardize my medical license or cause issues with Mr. Adams. “Look who’s pleading?” Vivian laughed and I shook my head. I silently hoped that the Medical Superintendent would pass by and see Vivian hanging her leg on the table. As if she heard my prayer, the Med
CHAPTER 12Liam’s povI stared at Ruby with a very big growl on my face.I couldn’t believe that Ruby never left the house, but I suddenly became confused as to where she was all this while.I kept on ignoring her whenever she wanted to talk to me, and she obviously wasn’t happy about it.She tried to beg me but I told her that the automatic way to regain my forgiveness was if she apologizes to Freda.So there she was, on a call with Freda!“So that’s all,” She said the moment she hung up.“Yeah,” I nodded and went straight to the kitchen.“I’d like to leave, only when I’m certain that you’re not angry with me,” She said and I furrowed my brows.“I’m not, so you can leave,” I said with a crumpled face.That moment, what I wanted was to be alone. I didn’t want anyone around me, and definitely not Ruby.“Fine, I’ll leave,” Ruby sighed and headed straight to the door, as I trailed behind her so I’d lock it the moment she leaves.She opened the door knob slowly, and turned back swiftly.“H
CHAPTER 13 Freda’s POVI walked towards the dining room, smiling widely. I still couldn’t believe that a man could make me feel special, because I’ve grown believing that it was always the females duty to make the males feel special. I settled down and was about eating the food when Liam suddenly cleared his throat. “How has it been without him?” Liam suddenly asked and I was taken aback. Who was he referring to?How could it be difficult for me to live without someone?This were the questions I asked myself, but I still didn’t get any responses from him immediately. “I was referring to Darren,” He said and I breathed nervously. Now the feeling was here again! It was here to torment me, to make me feel like I made a very bad decision when I know that I made the right choice. I really miss him, but I decided I wasn’t going to be too open to him. I was yet to know him fully, his character, who he was and where he was from!“I’ve been living,” I said with a nervous chuckle and
CHAPTER 14Freda’s POV I woke up with my phone ringing loudly, and I almost used the pillow to cover my ears in frustration. The phone kept on ringing, that I thought it would never stop ringing. To my surprise, the continuous ringing stopped and I sighed happily hoping I’d continue sleeping. Just as I turned to sleep,my phone rang again and I groaned tiredly, stretching my hand to get my phone which was on the table beside me. The moment I checked the Caller ID, my eyes widened the moment I saw Darren calling me on FaceTime. I knew I looked rough and tattered, but I didn’t care at all. I answered the call with the fear that he won’t call again the moment it stops ringing. “Hey,” Darren said the moment my face came to view. It was really awkward that we were staring at each other. The silence was actually tensive, but I didn’t know how I could help the situation. “Hi…” I finally managed to say. Darren smiled slightly, looking a bit awkward too. “Did I wake you up?” He asked
CHAPTER 15 FREDA’S POV. I was in the office but it seemed like I wasn’t there. I was just occupied with the thoughts that I was going to meet my ex fiancé the next day. I was happy that I was finally going to sort things out, and end up getting married. My mind drifted back to Liam and I sighed deeply, I was feeling guilty. It’s been a long time since I treated his wound and yet, he still goes around doing a lot of things in the house to make me happy. Frankly speaking, I began to feel uncomfortable about the way he cooked and cleaned at home because I keep feeling like I’m bothering him the way I shouldn’t. He was a good friend, that I was sure of but I still couldn’t bring myself to trust him fully. Yeah, I trust him but not so much. I knew he was going through a lot, even when he tried to hide it from me. I knew that suffering from Amnesia wasn’t easy and that he would have asked himself the question of who he was severally. The fact that he tries to hide his pain from m
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
