*FREYA* So as it turned out, only the bite of an Alpha can transformed me into a werewolf or a shape shifter and with Jet being that Alpha? I don't see that happening, after my discussion with Hunter I returned to my room dejectedly and felt horrible for even considering taking Lady Caroline up on her offer but a ball without Claire would be totally weird and boring.And also my things has been arranged and well placed among Jet things since we were now going to be sharing the room. I slowly sat down on the bed looking around the room for nothing in particular. My eyes might be searching for nothing but my mind was wandering about the ways I could get the bite, seeking help from another Alpha was dangerous no doubt. With the councils plotting ways to kill me, I doubt if Grayson knows about that. There was too much betraying going on in that world, I mean how could one possibly live in a world where you can't trust anyone? It is also another reason why I loved the pack, everyone was
*FREYA* I thought by tomorrow morning, I would feel better but instead I only seem to get worse, I have been to the bathroom like the tenth time this morning, if I'm not going there to puke then I'm going there to urinate. Plus, I have also started to come down with a fever, adding to the dizziness and other things that is currently wrong with me. It took several minutes of convincing for Jet to leave me alone this morning to attend to his Alpha duties while I continue to lay in bed after I showered and changed into some new clothes. An accident happened. I cringe at the reminder, luckily I was distracted by Hazel making her way in with a cart of food. I first caught sight of the steams coming out of it, to know it's a chicken soup and I love chicken — I don't care much for the soup. "I thought this might help" She said. "Madam Katherine always make sure we have chicken soup when we are sick. She believes, it will make us feel better so we can get back to work faster" She giggled an
*FREYA* The sun was already shining and as we stepped outside into the sunlight, I couldn't help but breathe in the fresh air and more importantly I was curious to know what Jet has planned for us. How my good mood vanishes as soon as I spot Lady Caroline with her escort making their way towards us seems like magic. "Alpha and Luna" She bowed in greeting and the rest of her companions follow suit. All of a sudden, they all seem to develop a hair problem, which reminded me of a high school girl upon seeing her crush. They lazily twirl their hair around their fingers and continue to open stare at my mate like I wasn't even present. "Lady Caroline" Jet replied in a smooth voice, my arm was still entwined with his and he tugged me closer to his side before turning his attention towards Caroline's companions. "Ladies" He acknowledged their greetings and it was met by giggling and.....well, I didn't bother to listen. "Nice to see you Lady Caroline" I said in a fake sweet voice, a little
*FREYA* I was beyond angry and I didn't want to see Jet's face, how dare he made a decision about my life regardless of what or how I felt? I almost gave poor Hazel a heart attack due to my abrupt entrance to the room. She spun around with the bedsheets still clench tightly to her hands. Her eyes widened before she finally let out a breath, I smile apologetically at her. "Is something wrong Luna?" She inquired half paying attention to me as she continue to fold the bedsheets. I choose an apple from the bowl of fruit I was carrying, the only thing I took out of the festive picnic Jet had prepared for me. How can a guy be so sweet and infuriating at the same time? I suddenly develop an urge to cry but I didn't want to alarm Hazel more than I already did so I just angrily munched on my apple. "I'm fine, you don't need to worry" I glance around the large sitting room. "I have seen a TV somewhere around the house before but now I can't remember. Is there a television in the castle Haze
*FREYA* Bedtime came and I couldn't fall asleep, I was able to convince myself it has nothing to do with the fact that Jet wasn't in bed with me, since we always go to bed wrapped in each other's arms. Perhaps along with our earlier disagreement, it plays a part on why I couldn't seem to fall asleep.If the test result came out positive, he had made it bluntly clear I wouldn't be keeping it but what he doesn't know yet was the fact that, I will fight him every step of the way. I hate fighting with him, I thought dejectedly as I turned over on my back, looking up at the ceiling. I was dozing off a few minutes later when a distant sound of someone unlocking the door made me open my eyes, I knew immediately it was him before I saw his familiar figure approach the bed. I couldn't pretend to be asleep even if I wanted to because he would know. He walked past the bed and went into the bathroom, listening to the water coming out of the shower, it smoothed me somehow and within a few minute
*FREYA* As it turned out, I was completely wrong about allowing nothing to ruin this night for me after I set eyes on the dress Jet had gifted me. But after spotting Dane Grayson on Jet's computer this morning, my mood had turned sour and I couldn't shake off the feeling that something horrible will go wrong tonight. Of course, Jet had assured me that nothing like that would happen, he was keeping tabs and watching him like a hawk. I don't doubt his abilities to protect me and I also don't doubt that Dane Grayson wouldn't fulfil the stupid promise he made to me. I blink a couple of times, something I usually do after being lost in thought for a while, my reflection was staring back at me in the mirror and I looked stunning. I wanted everything to go smoothly tonight, it was my first appearance in public ever since I became the Luna, not only was my dress sparkling, my hair and make up had been done by a professional. They left few minutes ago and Hazel lingered around inspecting me
*FREYA* Caroline led me to a large dining table at the far end of the room, the women seated there immediately stood up when they saw me. I could see the excitement in their eyes, it was as if they were meeting a celebrity or something. I was feeling very embarrassed but still managed a smile in each of their direction. One of the footmen standing not far from us, reached out to help me pulled out a chair for me to sit. Once I was seated, the rest followed suit and Lady Caroline settled down next to me. "These are your women in court Luna" She told me and then turn to the group. "I'm certain the Luna would want to be familiar with us all so therefore let us introduce ourselves to her" Looks like my long night just started, there were about thirty women present at the table and as each stood up to introduce herself, I tried to catch up. "It's very nice to meet you all" I said once the introduction was over. The music changed tune again and the women left for the dance floor leaving
*FREYA* I moved back a little to find somewhere to seat before I collapse or something, the animalistic growls from outside were growing more loud and terrifying by each passing minute, the gate of the estate has been closed and so is the main entrance of the building. My mind wandered back to who might have let Duncan into the pack, the only person I could think of was Morgana since she used to be a member of this pack before she was banished. What if she had done this to get some sort of revenge on me? But how could she have found out what tonight is about? She's a rogue now meaning she was now considered a threat, she would be killed or taken in as a prisoner if she was spotted anywhere near the pack. I didn't want to jump to any conclusion by thinking Camille had something to do with this, after all, Morgana is still her family. But after tonight, I will make sure to keep an eye on her. "Here, I brought you some water" I jolted back to reality as Hazel's worried voice penetrate
FREYA I stretched out on the bed the following morning when I woke up, moaning with satisfaction when my bones cracked into place. I rolled on my side, finding the spot empty. After Hunter had communicated with us last night, the atmosphere around the house had gotten better but I was still worried about Jet. Grabbing the bedside robe, I climbed out of bed to check the bathroom but it was empty, causing me to frown a little. Approaching my dressing mirror, I tamed out my brush from the drawers and started to brush my hair. I love brushing my hair, it’s a habit that calms me down whenever I’m done. As a knock sounded on the door, I dropped the brush and smiled. “Come in Hazel.” I called out and a second or so later, she appeared in the room. “Morning milady, did you sleep well?” She inquired, walking over to my closet. “I heard Lady Camille said you will be attending the woman council meeting later in the day, so you need me to get anything ready for you?” “Not really but I’ll nee
FREYA “Stop!” Claire yelled, her voice breaking as Hayley stalked towards me. “Leave them alone, I will come with you.” She declared, her eyes looking unseemly at a particular spot, I followed the direction of her gaze and soon realised why, Hayley had stabbed Hunter with a silver knife, causing him to bleed out. If care is not taken, he will no doubt bleed to death. Pushing all distractions out of my head, I turned inward, searching through the corner of my mind from Jet. I could feel him, which tells me he’s alive but I couldn’t hear him. “Jet?” I whispered into his conscience. “If you can hear me, do not let Sophie breathe no matter what, if she cannot breathe then she cannot think, which means she cannot cast a spell. Someone else is here waiting for a signal from her, I’ll distract her until Sophie stops fighting so you can come back here and help.” I finished, refocusing my attention back to Claire. As much as I wanted to assure Claire, I couldn’t take the risk of Hayley find
FREYA Everyone including the servants came outside to see what was happening, the more I stared at it, the more I shivered from the darkness radiating from it or it may be because I knew who was behind it—Sophie and she’s closer than we think. Hurrying back to the castle, regretting the fact that I had to wake Jet up when he clearly needed to sleep. “Everyone inside at once! It’s safe indoors.” I shouted as they made way for me to pass, whatever that dark cloud was doing up there, can’t be anything good. I arrived at our bedroom a short while later, walking up to Jet and gently shook him awake. “Fae?” He looked at me with confusion, probably wondering why I had woken him. “Have I been asleep for a long time?” “No and I regret waking up but there’s something you need to see.” I gestured towards the window and without any further question, he looked outside the window, a cold, angry expression settling over his face immediately. “I’m going to check this out with Hunter, ensure that
FREYA Several minutes after everyone departed from our bedroom, Jet still held me in his arms, as if to truly convince himself I was truly fine which I totally get. These past few weeks have been filled with anxiety and what if’s, not knowing if I would make it as a vampire or at all. With my face buried in his chest, I soaked up the feeling of being close to me. Every emotion I felt, felt heightened. I felt more connected to Jet than I’ve ever been, while before I could sense his emotions but not feel them the way I do now. The rhythm of his heartbeat matched mine, beating together as one. I could feel his emotions, overwhelmed by his love for me. We sat there in silence, with him just holding me until I moved slightly back to look up at him. Sensing my eyes on him, he looked down at me, his lips curving into a small smile. “One day, you will be able to shift, for now your human side is preventing you probably because its not used to this new feeling. Make no mistake, you do have
FREYA I knew they were all worried about me that night when the living room was filled up, somehow everyone had an excuse to be there. Jet wanted to spend time with me, which isn’t exactly out of character. Hunter wanted to discuss business with him, which they usually do in Jet’s office. Kale wanted to have wine, I actually forgot about his own excuse cause I wasn’t paying attention. I was distracted when Camille strolled in, claiming she wanted to talk about the refugees with Claire and Hazel havors around, pretending to be serving snacks which she has finished serving several minutes ago and is just sticking around like everyone else. Trisha sought my eyes from across the room, a knowing smile on her face. “Well, the moon has been up for about an hour now and nothing has happened yet. I know you’re all worried about Freya, but I think she’s going to be fine.” She informed them. “We know that, it is nice being together like this, we do not spend much time together anymore becaus
FREYA “How?” I asked, my voice filled with surprise as he untied the ribbon around the small box, revealing a large emerald gemstone with white band around it. Somehow, it clicked in my head, making my lips spread in a smile. “This was part of your trip?” “I was watching human mating ceremonies, especially from the place you come from. Generally, there are a lot of different human mating ceremonies, how do you people know which one to stick to?” He inquired, removing the ring from its box and then comparing it side by side with my eyes. “I thought as much, I knew it would make them sparkle.” He remarked, more to himself than me. “Hold on, you’ve been thinking about this for a while now?” I laughed a little, I didn’t even think to go there, I mean seeing that there’s nothing marking the mating ceremony here, thoughts of a wedding never crossed my mind even though I’ve wanted the ceremony more than I wanted to be married. “I think about a lot of things…” his voice turned dangerously
FREYA We sat side by side in silence beside the grave, no words needed to be said, I understood that, and allowed him to brood in silence. My mind drifted to my Mom and I felt my heart tightened in my chest, the thought that I’d never see her again, at times I purposely didn't think of her as I wanted to believe she’s still alive. “I have to accept she’s gone.” I turned to look at him. “My mom I mean, and I can’t do this without saying goodbye.” “What are you suggesting?” He inquired, plucking out a nearby rose and inserting it in my hair. I smiled. “I’m thinking of going back home, outside of the island to say goodbye to my Mom, I never got the chance to see her and when she died, I sort of blamed her for things she has no control over. I understand better now so I want to confront those emotions, after the full moon of course.” I stood up, my eyes glued to the graves. He nodded, exhaling. “That we shall do.” “Not we…” I shook my head, taking hold of his hands in mine and squee
FREYA “Hi…” I whispered playfully, while wrapping my arms around his neck. “Come here,” he lifted me up, pulling me close to his masculine body and I instantly wrapped my legs around his waist, to keep myself balanced on him. Once we were in position, he reached behind me to turn off the shower since it was hardly pouring down on any of us. Turning swiftly, he pressed me against the shower wall, his mouth immediately fussing with mine. I kissed him back with the same wanton passion, dragging my nails along the muscle of his shoulders. An action that made him groan against my neck as he started peppering kisses there. His hands gripped my butt, squeezing the plump flesh, sending a jolt of arousal through my body, I jerked in response, letting out a breathless moan that encouraged him to do it again and again, until I felt my wetness dripping out of me. I arched against the wall, giving him more access to my throat, every where he touched felt electrified. Each time I think sex wit
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
