*FREYA* I decided that letting Camille get to me would probably be the biggest trap I'd ever fall into since she obviously did all this to bug me. I waited in the bathroom while Hazel helped me get a couple of maids to clean the mess in my room. I was beyond angry, now I don't only have to put up with Morgana but her niece as well! Can my life get anymore....drastic?After the whole cleaning process was done, I stepped into the room to see Hazel had selected another dress for me, it was another purple dress but the first one was prettier and sexier. I took it from her forcing a smile on my face, once again I resist the urge to march down the hall and give Camille a piece of my mind, I have never been that good at controlling my anger that much."Don't speak a word about this to anyone, she's nothing but a brat. Once she figures out I don't have time to entertain her, she will stop" I instructed turning around to look at the full length mirror by my closet."As you wish milady" We bot
*FREYA* I changed into another purple dress still feeling all flustered from the quick sex in the shower with Jet, I was so bent on wearing a purple dress today that I wasn't going to settle for anything else. With a lot of help from Hazel who didn't bother asking questions on why I was wearing another dress, she helped me style my hair and taking my mask along, I left the room to join the party happening downstairs.I stood at the stairs balcony looking down below, I glance around nervously having no idea that a lot of people would be present, I had originally planned a small party in mind even though I had no idea how to go about it and when Claire had mentioned inviting a few nobles, I didn't know few meant this many. I was still gawking at the crowd when I felt a presence beside me, I saw Kale from the corner of my eye."Where is your escort?" He asked, putting on his own mask. "Escort?" I echoed with a puzzled look on my face."I believe the modern term for that is a date" He a
*FREYA* I slammed the door angrily behind me as I had left the party a few minutes ago, I was angry but not that Morgana in the slightest, when the door opened and shut behind me I spun around to glare at Jet as he walked in. I paused waiting for him to start talking but no words seems to come out of him."I want to know everything, everything Morgana was talking about and if you lie to me Jet, I swear I will never forgive you" I threatened, it was a threat that I actually meant at that moment. I was sick and tired of all the hiding they have been doing, Morgana humiliated me back there and I could barely utter any word to defend myself."Is that not a bit extreme?" He chuckled raising one eyebrow at me, seeing that I wasn't half amused by his attempt at a joke, his expression turned serious and I brace myself. "What do you want to know?" He questioned."Everything" I answered without hesitation. "I want to know every detail, every little detail" I added pinning him with a stare that
*FREYA* Jet managed to handle the situation like he said he would but with each passing day, I get eaten alive with guilt. The most frustrating part, is that there is nothing I can do about the situation, even the servants around whisper behind my back thinking I couldn't hear them. At least they were trying to hide their hatred for me, as if dealing with all that wasn't enough, Camille decided to be part of my problems too.I had just finished getting dressed that morning when Claire strode into my room, Jet has been busy trying to figure out where the councils would strike next, Hunter is out looking for Duncan and his men. It's been wild and busy around here lately, it was also the first time I was seeing her in a few days."Is Camille still bothering you?" She asked as if reading my mind."I have decided to just ignore her, I'm still trying to get myself out of the mess Morgana had shoved me in. I feel so guilty" I admitted, it was the first time I'd ever admitted that out loud.
*FREYA* Jet did take my mind off it for a few hours as he promised but after everything was done, I lay down with my limbs exhausted from sex. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened with the women back in town and more puzzling, I was trying to come in terms with the kind of man my father turned out to be.Dinner was approaching and I knew Hazel would be here at any moment to help me get dressed for dinner, Jet already left few minutes ago leaving me alone with my thoughts. I had tried stopping myself from thinking about it all since I knew he was likely listening to my thoughts, I was glad when he later left.As if on cue, there was a knock on the door and a second later, Hazel strode in with a smile on her face. I stare curiously at her as she approached me, probably sensing I was staring at her, she glance up."Shall I have dinner brought to your room? Lady Morgana has been released from the house arrest she was placed on after Camille pleaded her case with Alpha. She shall
*FREYA* Deep in my gut I knew Morgana was playing some kind of twisted game with me, I mean why would she blackmail and threatened me not to speak a word to Jet about her plan then goes ahead to tell him but left a few details behind? The scariest part could be the fact that I might be working into a trap if I'm not careful. As I made to leave the room, Jet stood in front of me stopping me from leaving.Even if I tried, I wasn't mad at him for claiming me, I was mad because he only did it out of fear of losing me. He didn't even give me a choice, I opened my mouth to say something to him but it turned into a muffled sound as his mouth covered mine in a kiss that had me melting into him immediately. I wrapped my arms around his waist, moaning into the kiss while he nibble at my lower lips. "I acted without control" He murmured after we pulled apart from the kiss, with Hus forehead pressing against mine, his hand reached up to cup my face. "But I do not regret ever claiming you as min
*FREYA* "Mom?" I repeated but once again no sound could be heard from the other end of the line, for a moment I thought someone was playing a prank on me but then I knew that voice so well and deep down I knew it belong to my mom. What the hell is going on? How did she contact me? The first day I was brought here, I remember trying Jake's phone number but it never went through. I slowly drop the telephone trying to process what just happened.I sat there for a long time still staring at the phone and hoping the caller calls back but no call came through and I was forced to leave. I wondered if I should tell Jet what happened but then I wasn't sure of anything, it could be my mind playing tricks on me. I let out a frustrated groan into my pillow, I glance towards the entrance when the door opened and Jet strode into the room. I hurried over to him, the first thing I checked was his stomach, as Claire assured me earlier, it had healed with no sign of a stab wound. "You were stabbed" I
*FREYA* "Good to see you Emma" His words echo in my head yet again, I couldn't believe Jake was standing in front of me. I never thought about seeing him again especially not this soon, I glance at Claire who doesn't seem to hide the fact that she wasn't pleased to see him. Recalling the incident upstairs I knew something must have happened to Jet so I decided to take a different approach. "How did you get here Jake" I asked staring at him and hoping I would be able to see a glimpse of the man I once knew in him but he looked very different, his expression cold and unreadable. "Does it matter how I got here? The important thing is I'm here to take you home" He stepped closer to me coursing me to fearfully back away from him.I ignored what he said. "What have you done to Jet? I hope you haven't hurt anyone" I pleaded but knowing how much the two men hate each other, there is no way one of them wouldn't get hurt. Since it's Jet in this case, I hope he hadn't hurt him that bad. Unex
FREYA In order to distract myself from the emotions coursing through me like a wave of hurricane, I channeled my thoughts into writing, so much that I didn’t know the hours had slowly slipped away until Jet came up behind me, brushing my hair away from the back of my neck, I felt his mouth there, making me smile and dropped what I was doing. Turning around, I wrapped my arms around his neck while he straightened, picking me up in the process. “Hi there…” I said, wrapping my legs around his waist. “How was your trip? Your meeting was definitely longer than I anticipated, your meal must be cold.” I informed him, searching his face for any sign of discomfort. He has always been good at masking his emotions, so even now I couldn’t read anything from his neutral expression, except the softness in his eyes when he looked at me. And despite the things we worked out together, I didn’t expect them to start taking effect immediately, old habits take a while to die. Removing one of my hands
FREYA After I was done eating, I went around looking for Hazel, I had called the servant quarters earlier and was told she wasn’t there. I didn’t mean to go off on her like that, especially knowing how sensitive she was about these things. Taking a deep breath to smooth out my frustration, I hurried down the stairs to the bottom floor, meeting Kale and Camille halfway there. However they seemed involved in their own argument that they didn’t immediately see me until I called their attention. “Have any of you seen Hazel? She isn’t in the servant quarters and I’m worried about her.” I inquired, pushing my hair back from my face. “Your hand maiden?” Camille echoed, her brows furrowed slightly. “I think it’s high time you learn her name Camille.” I remarked, my attention moving in Kale’s direction. “Well, have you seen her?” “I saw her running out earlier, she appeared to be upset, did something happen? Do you need me to help you find her?” He inquired, his expression showing the con
FREYA I woke up from another nightmare, that’s twice in one night. I touched my face, finding it wet, an indication that I have been crying even though I was completely unaware of it. Feeling more hot than usual, I glanced towards the window, frowning slightly when I noticed it was open.Edging out of bed, I walked toward it, prying the curtains apart to open the window wider, and finding it odd to be feeling that hot despite how cool the air was against my face. A breezy sound slapped against the window and I could faintly hear the breeze passing through the leaves from the plants that grew around the castle. Pushing away from the window, I undressed out of my silky night dress before strolling into the bathroom for a quick shower which by the way ended up being longer than I planned. The water feels so good against my skin and each time I turn off the shower, I go right back to feeling hot. About an hour or so later, I emerged from the bathroom frowning deep in thought. Something
FREYA I had two days until the full moon, a night I was dreading like never before. I ended up falling asleep by my dressing table and paid the price this morning when I woke up with a sore neck. I sat upright, pushing my hair back from my face, I stared at my reflection in the mirror and awful doesn’t even begin to cover how terrible I looked! Not only were there dark circles under my eyes, they were also red and swollen as if I had cried through the night. I touched my face, feeling the dry trace of tears left behind. Letting out a tired sigh, I stood up to go freshened up before Hazel or anyone else found me in such state. After having my bath, I came back to my dressing table to apply some concealer under my eyes, covering the dark circles. It’s situations like these that makes me really glad for the invention of make-up because what would I have done? I further applied some lip gloss to moisturize my dry lips, and then rounded up by brushing my hair. There was a gentle knock
FREYA By the time we made it back home, darkness had creeped it way into day time. Claire and Camille immediately hurried out to help lead the rescued humans into the mansion where they will be staying until Trisha can undo whatever damages done to them by the council before they are returned to the human world. Fortunately there wasn’t much to be undo as they just arrived and haven’t been taken to the lab yet. A part of me had hoped Jet’s leaving got delayed but when it was only Kake who came to join us, I felt a bit disappointed even though I understood everyone had to play their part. “Here.” I felt a tap on my shoulder, turning around, it was to see Hunter extending my dagger toward me. “I found it near the guards and knew you must have forgotten it there.” “Thank you so much! I had been worried sick thinking I left it behind, the council could trace it back to Rosewood.” I gestured towards the Rosewood seal on the digger, as a wave of relief washed over me. “That is one be
FREYA Trisha sensed an entrance with her magic as we drew closer to the fence, instead of the typical fence wall I was used to, this one was completely different. The entire fence was built with silver and I couldn’t wrap my head at how impossible that seemed except looking at it now, it was very possible. Since there wasn’t any visible entrance, Trisha proceeded to make one creating a portal.Once I signal to Hunter, he came to join us with the rest and together we matched into the building. Just as we anticipated, the floor was heavily guarded, nothing from outside but more from inside. I pulled out my dagger from my waist pocket, loving how light the metal is, we were almost immediately swapped on by the security guards, an alarm system blasting off in the distance. “Trisha, you need to deactivate the alarm, the rest of us we take care of the guards.” Hunter instructed and Trisha immediately dashed off in the direction where the sound was blasting from.I felt high on adrenaline
FREYA So much has been going on these past few days, after my freak out with Trisha the other day, I had joined her and Claire’s meditation sessions but that hasn’t been the highlight of it all. A message from one of Jet positioned spies came in yesterday, a tip about an abandoned warehouse where the councils will be dropping their new shipment. By new shipment, it meant where they would be dropping their latest batch of humans to experiment on and someone from the councils will be coming to transport them to their secret base. The plan was for us to get to the warehouse before any of the council's men or representatives made their way there. The thought made me sick to my stomach, rescuing the victims will be pointless if we don’t totally uproot the root of the problem entirely. “So, it has been decided, Claire shall stay behind to take charge of the Beta mansion where the rescues will be staying until they are taken back to where they came from. Trisha, Hunter and Freya will lead
FREYA My protest died down my throat as Jet moved in on me, instead of tying me up like he threatened, he caged me against the bed overboard with his body. I glared up at him, my face setting into an angry scowl. “Can we not do this?” I said, knowing I might fold with the way he was trying to distract me. “Will you move your things back?” “Not a chance.” I responded, letting out a sigh. “I do understand that you have a hard time expressing yourself and being vulnerable but my parents kept a huge part of their lives a secret from me and you of all people know how that turned out.” I reached to cup his face. “I hate not knowing the part of you that existed before me.”He closed his eyes briefly, relaxing into my touch before he completely pulled away a minute later to sit beside me. ”I did not let you in because I hate recalling those memories.” He glanced sideways at me. “I lost my parents at the age of sixteen after one of the council's attacks, it was not the first attack they mad
FREYA Reaching the stair-landing, a familiar figure blocked my path stopping me from moving any further. I frowned up at Kale, my eyes filled with questions I was too distracted to ask. I looked past him to see that I’ve lost sight of both Trisha and Jet. ‘’Is there any. Treason why you’re in my way?’’ I asked since he just stood there not saying a word or moving out of my way. He held up his hands. ‘’Jet saw you coming after him and mind-linked me to stop you, I had nothing to do with this, I’m simply following orders.’’ He answered. ‘’Why wouldn’t he let me come after him? he’s doing something dangerous right? I demanded and when he hesitated, I knew Jet must have told him not to tell me anything. After everything we’ve been through? screw that! Aftyer the disscussion we had this afternoon?At this point, I was so fuckiomng done! I took a step back, trying not to show how affected I was by what I’ve just learned. ‘’Very well then, I’ll return to my roo, Jet can do whatever the h
