*FREYA* When we finally break apart from the embrace, she closed the door behind us and then step further into the room, apart from her hair which she had dyed ginger red, she didn't change very much. I sat down at the edge of the bed, staring at her as her gaze roam over my body looking for obvious damage. I only have a couple of bruises on my arms which were of course coursed by Jacob. "I expect you to be in the hospital not in a room" She finally spoke. "I really thought I have lost you forever, I contacted the police but your father had them withdraw the case, I only learned the truth month later from your mother but there was nothing I could do" A tear rolled down her face. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that" "I'm glad I went through this, if Jet hadn't kidnapped me then I will never have found out the kind of man my father was or the man I was marrying to was an illegal scientist who works for my father and one of the dangerous people on earth" I told her which of cours
*FREYA* Abruptly as the bleeding started, it stopped but the pain didn't. Jacob had ordered everyone not to even think of helping me, I was in agony for almost an hour with no help or anything. When the bleeding stopped, I pulled myself up from the floor looking around for something to clean the dry blood on my neck. I went into the bathroom to take another bath, I checked the closet in the room and it contain clothes my size which freaks me out. A maid walked in unannounced to clean the floor while another brought me lunch, my stomach grumbled at the sight of the food reminding me I hadn't eaten in a while. If I was going to escape this nightmare, I need to eat to have enough energy. I still couldn't believe the fact that my cousin would betray me, the only person I actually thought might help me also want me to live this nightmare. My whole life was a mess, not only did I fuck up my own life but I had to drag innocent people into it. Jet pack would never accept or forgive me for w
*FREYA* There was a heavy pause in the room, I stared back at the therapist not believing she just declared me a victim, I searched my brain looking for a suitable response but then I decided it doesn't matter because no matter what I say, my words were going to end up being twisted to the version they already made up their mind on. I rubbed my neck hoping it would somehow ease the pain I was feeling there. She turned towards Katie. "She needs proper counselling, one session isn't going to make her forget everything or be in a better position to marry. I will suggest you let me handle her case" She said as if I wasn't present there. "No session is going to change the way I feel about Jet, he didn't let me leave because he was protecting me against the people I thought I knew. So before you point fingers at him, take a look at my cousin who was my best friend but now planning not to only make my life a living hell but to take what's mine. Not that I have any interest in the so-calle
*FREYA* I climbed out of the car right after Jacob, staring at the huge mansion in front of us, the building I was locked up in while I have no idea of the monstrous things people in my life were doing. I take a deep breath as we started to walk up the front door, the garage was filled with enough different cars for me to know we weren't the only ones here. With my heart racing in my chest, the two large security guards standing at the front door, unlocked the door for us to go in. Fortunately for me, I know this house like the back of my hand so I'd rather risk escaping here than do it back at Jacob's house plus I still didn't want to believe my mom is dead. We came to the large living room, a lot of men in black suits could be seen gathered around discussing, even the women were dressed in black and there was an open casket at the far head of the room.I swallowed back the sob threatening to explode from me as Jacob half dragged me to where Dane Grayson was standing with his monste
*FREYA* How I became a pawn in Dane Grayson and Jacob Xavier's mind games is something I still can't get out of my mind, also another bitter reminder that everything I have known and believed about the people I knew was all a lie. Jet had a valid reason for keeping it away from me and he was right about one thing, my hatred for them. I wished, I had found out the truth sooner.Jacob wouldn't let me out of his sight, it was as if he knew I was planning to escape, I stayed rooted to his side like we were attached by the hips while he discuss whatever business he has with the men in suits. Whenever I made to move away, he would tighten his hold around my waist making me wince from the impact. "I would like to be excuse, if you don't mind" I said out loud for everyone in the group to hear, they all turn to look at me as if just realizing I was standing there the whole time. "Please give us a moment" Jacob hissed at them before half dragging me away from the crowd to the far end of the
*FREYA* My words were met with silence, still keeping my eyes towards the curtain beside the door, I reached for the lamp beside my bed and flicked it on to the full brightness. Nothing seemed out of place, aside from the wind blowing the curtains which might be why I thought someone was there. Shaking my head at how ridiculous I was letting my imagination get to me, I went over to the window to shut it. Grateful for whatever might have woken me up, I paused listening for any sound and when I heard none, I tiptoed towards the door only to find it unlocked. I dimly recalled Katie bolting the lock after she left so how it came to be unlocked was something I didn't understand but I wasn't going to stand there and wonder. I opened the door and then freeze at the scene before me, the two security men standing outside my door were laying down in front of me in the pool of their blood. Judging by how broken their necks were, I could tell it was snapped. I quickly covered my mouth to stop
*FREYA* Jacob said something but I couldn't hear, I couldn't breathe, I'm not even certain I can feel right now. My eyes were wide and glued to Jet as he stood up from the crowd, everyone's eyes were on him. All I wanted at that moment was to run into his arms relieved and happy because I thought I'd never see him again, but I was too stunned to move. "What the hell!" This time I heard Jacob hiss before pushing me to his side, one of his hands reached into the waistband of his pant to pull out a gun which he pointed directly to the side of my head. The crowd begin to scream as they scurried around in different directions, this attracted the attention of both Dane Grayson's men and Jacob's men as well. I wondered if Jet came alone and besides I couldn't recognize anyone, they all look the same dressed in black suits and wearing sunshades, the only clear difference among them is their body build and height. "Jake what are you doing!" I cried struggling to get away from him. There wa
*FREYA* I moaned as he licked the blood that trailed down my neck from the bite mark, blinking the unshed happy tears that blur my vision, I draped my arms around his neck and then burry my face against his chest inhaling his scent. I missed him so much I thought I'd die, my mom's death still hurt but deep down I knew I could never really protect her from what she was going through.Living with the realization that I will never see her again was forever going to hurt me. I felt Jet wrap his strong yet familiar arms around me, pressing me closer to his heated body, crushing me a little and I didn't protest because I wanted that, I needed it. "I miss her so much Jet, I can't believe she's actually gone" I mumbled pressing my face deeply into his chest, for once I just wanted to close my eyes and forget about everything. About the pain I went through these past few days in the hands of people I thought were my family, the only bright side to it all was finding out that Jet was alive.
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
