*FREYA* I couldn't stop sobbing the entire time I was being carried back to the house by Hunter, Claire came running to meet us halfway as we were approaching the entrance. She abruptly stopped walking and started growling at me, I started puzzling at her, wondering why she was snarling at me. Hunter, on the other hand, seems to find the situation funny making me wonder if they were making an inside joke through the werewolf mind link."My wolf is not pleased with my mate holding you, do not worry, I will keep her under control as you tell me what happened" She explained noticing the expression on my face, I hid my face against Hunter's chest not wanting to talk about it. Hunter placed me back on my feet once we entered my room. "If you will excuse me, I have to check on Kale to see if he needs any help with Freya's maid. Watch over her will you, darling?" He asked Claire who nodded in agreement before closing the door behind him.The room was silent for a while, neither of us sayi
*FREYA* After the conversations I had with Jet, I could barely get a wink of sleep, I kept tossing around on the bed. Laying face up at the ceiling, I replayed the exchanges in my mind and the fact that he still walked out on me despite telling him how I felt. I sighed wondering when I started to fall for him, I couldn't come up with any so I concluded that it just happen along the way.I turned to my side staring at my alarm clock, it was dawn and since I couldn't sleep, I decided to check on Hazel to see how she was doing. I rolled out of bed and then left my room praying I didn't bump into Jet. After what happened between us last night, I wasn't ready to face him. I just want to crawl into a hole and die.I knocked on her door several times before she told me to come in, feeling bad for waking her up, I opened my mouth to apologise only to realize she was awake and brushing her hair. She turned and give me a big smile. "Morning milady," She said."I didn't expect you to be up so e
*FREYA* However, Jet stared at me like he wanted to say something but decided against it as he started to cough uncontrollably, clenching his stomach he tried to back away from me, afraid that something was wrong with him, I reached for him even though I had no idea what to do, I rubbed his back smoothly frowning when he started to cough out blackish blood."Jet" I slapped a hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming, I was scared, wondering if it was a normal thing for werewolves to cough out black blood. Judging by how pale looking he was getting, I decided it wasn't normal. "Hunter! Kale" I shouted, running out to get help.As I ran down the hallway, my heel caught in my dress and I staggered almost falling if Hunter hadn't grabbed me in time., after helping me straighten up, he remarked "Freya, you look like you have seen a ghost. Do not tell me the castle is haunted now" "No!" I gulped trying to catch my breath. "Jet, I don't know what's wrong with him" I explained and wi
*FREYA* I quietly followed Kale to the stable while mentally trying to process all the information he told me a while ago. Perhaps I might never understand things here no matter how much I try, each day I discover more and more scary things, what if there was a way for me to get Kale to tell me about the stuff Jet happens to be hiding from me? I decided against it almost immediately. The last thing I wanted was to drag him into my mess."Why don't you guys just allow him to hunt for himself?" I asked, watching as they all got on their various horses, they were about six warriors going on the hunt. I'm getting more worried by the second.Sliding on his horse, Kale looked at me with a slight frown on his face. "The last time he did that, he ended up hurting a lot of people. He just enjoys killing people for no reason why nature takes over him" He explained. "I shall see you later Freya, take care" He added before racing off with the rest.I stood there for a while watching them disappe
*FREYA* As the guards begin to lift Jet from the ground, Claire lead me back inside giving me enough time to composed myself. My room was unrecognizable when we walked into it a few minutes later, the curtains had been ripped apart, and even the fancy net curtains wrapped around my bed in a princess style was missing, all the flower vase were broken and other decorations were missing from the door.I stared at my now broken dressing mirror, the table had been flipped upside. "Wow" I murmured having no idea what to say or how to react, I guess I wasn't really expecting this much damage."It is very funny you are worried about the state of your bed chambers instead of your mate. I demand to know whether the moon goddess was drunk when he paired you two together" I heard Morgana say behind me, and I didn't bother giving her the reaction she hoped to achieve."I'll call the servant to clean up the room while I crash into a guest room for the night," I told Claire before exiting the room,
*FREYA* My gaze became unfocused and lazy as Jet drank me to his full when I started to feel like he wouldn't stop anytime soon until he drained me completely, I started struggling while screaming for him to let me go but he wouldn't budge, no doubt hearing my screams the door jerked opened without a single knock, Hunter and Kale hurried into the room only then did he let me go.I collapsed on the bed trying to regain my strength, if I wasn't terrified of him before I was beyond scared of him now, I hurriedly climb out of the bed to stand beside Hunter. Witnessing that, he growled at us wiping my blood that was dripping down the corner of his mouth with his finger before licking it, he hummed in approval as our gaze clashed."Jet, you have to get a grip on yourself" Hunter growled at him, gently pushing him behind him, the movement didn't go unnoticed by Jet and his eyes narrowed angrily at Hunter. I remembered what he told me earlier that he would kill Hunter if he keeps me away fro
*FREYA* By the time he pulled away from me, I was trying hard to catch my breath, once I felt composed enough to talk I tried shoving him off me but he wouldn't budge, I didn't want to think about the damage he had already done to my lips. When he leaned down to continue where he left, I turned my face coursing his lips to land on my chin."You can't keep drinking from me unless you are trying to kill me, please get off me" I hissed pushing back the panic tears I could feel burning my eyes.He frowned at me slightly before moving his upper body and putting his weight on his elbow. He pinning me with his stare as he ran his finger down my throat. "Your blood keeps me under control, it helps me fight the urge to murder everyone" He admitted leaning towards my lips, using the fact that he was distracted, I shoved him with all the rest I could muster, but he still didn't move despite catching him off guard. I wanted to scream in frustration instead I lay there and let him kiss me.He see
*FREYA* I was getting more worried by each second with no sign of Jet anywhere, Hunter had taken the few warriors into the forest to search for him while Claire and I had taken the car to search for him around town, but there was no sign of him and the sun would be setting anytime soon."Do you also think we should have gone with Hunter? There is no sign that Jet has been around here and we've asked several people, but no one saw him. Nothing seems out of place" I asked, finally breaking the silence, none of us had spoken since we left the castle too preoccupied with the consequence of not finding Jet before the moon comes up."You are correct, at least no one got hurt and we have nothing to worry about. I shall tell the driver to take us back to the castle" She answered leaning towards the driver seat in front of us. I stared out of the window absently trying to think about where he could be, something ticked into place the minute I thought about it, I recalled when Jet had taken m
RAYLA 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 beaut
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
FREYA I went back inside feeling better about the whole thing. I decided to stop at the library first to check out the new books Hazel told me about. It was salked up on one of the tables at the entrance, I went through it reading the title and everything. I ended up giving up soon after because I couldn’t get my mind to focus.Instead I pulled out a chair and sat down, my mind drifting back and forth between talking to Jet or giving him space to process what happened. I didn’t want him to feel like I was forcing him to open up when he wasn’t ready. I recalled the first few days of his escape from the council lab, he had nightmares about it for weeks.I didn’t want to imagine the thoughts of Claire going there, an idea suddenly occurred to me. I left the library and went to Jet’s study instead, hoping to find anything on Xavier Jacob. Although he was long dead, saying his name out loud felt like a curse. I looked over my shoulder as the door opened behind me, expecting it to be anyo
FREYAI re-adjusted myself on the horse trying not to slide down as it jerked forward; however, my dilemma seemed to be a source of entertainment for Kale, who kept laughing and making jokes about it.’’This place is simply breathtaking.’’ Claire’s remark caused me to look sideways at what she was referring to.My heart constricted with a wave of sadness at the awe in her voice, not just because it wasn’t beautiful but because she doesn’t remember it. Each time we've gone riding in the past, we’ve always stopped here to enjoy the view while other times, we came here for a picnic.‘’I know right?’’ I agreed knowing she would be expecting me to say something. Hoping this might help her recall something, I tried to smoothly get down my horse but somehow my leg got tangled with the sandals.’’Luna!’’ I heard the other gasp of concern as I managed to kick my leg free but ended up on the ground. ‘’I’m okay, this is just the universe way of telling me it’s time to learn how to ride.’’Claire
FREYA I opened my eyes, a bit surprised to see Jet still asleep. Unusually, he leaves early in the morning to attend his duties as an Alpha, my lips twitch with pleasure as I recalled last night. Blushing, I reached out to sweep the hair that had fallen over his forehead in his sleep, my hand stilled when he stirr, as I didn’t want him to wake up yet. Feeling satisfied, I turned on my back, my thoughts occupied by the recent events that had been happening.In as much as I was mad at Trisha for lying to us, and now that I really think about it, I realize she must have felt she had no choice. I gave over at Jet, dreading the thought of ever becoming a werewolf.It took a while for his pack to accept me as their human Luna, a vampire queen is something I don’t ever see them accepting. Why do terrible things keep happening to me? especially when it seemed like everything was going to be okay? When my mind couldn’t come with an answer I gave up.’’How long have you been staring at me?’’
*FREYA* I dismissed her but Trisha still refused to leave, Jet was still in the shower and he would be out any time soon, I didn't want him hearing any of the conversations I was having with her so, he doesn't get angry and broke the promise he made to her. A promise is a promise and no matter how pissed I'm at her, I couldn't do that to her. I spun around to leave, wanting to be left alone with my thoughts. She held me back, coming around to stand in front of me, blocking my path to exit. "You have every right to be mad at me, I was not completely honest but I was scared." She admitted, letting go of my hand. "Jet would kill me if I did not bring you back, I knew there would be consequence, which is why I would be paying the price." My eyes went wide at her words.I open my mouth to say something but at the same time, she shower stopped. "Let's continue this conversation later, okay?" I dismissed her once more, not in anger this time around. I went back into the bedroom, just in
