*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
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
