*FREYA* Since it was pretty dark already, I couldn't make out where we were heading but Jet, on the other hand, seems to know his way around plus the fact that wolves could see clearly in the dark. I gasped as we came upon a picnic setting with candles lit around the place, I absently let him go as he set me back down on my feet."When did you do this?" I asked twirling around to look at him. "This is so beautiful for real but are you sure it's safe to be out here?" I stared into the distance but I couldn't see much of anything, I knew that he was capable of protecting me. The instance to just be sure we were not in danger made me ask."I apologized for the shortness of your night" He stated reaching for my hand once more as he help me settle down on the blanket. "And to answer your question, I made the arrangement after you left" "I love it, thank you so much" To show my appreciation I leaned forward and kiss him, as I made to pull back he captured my lips and then deepened the kis
*FREYA* The entire Castle and I'm sure the entire pack is also mourning, as it turned out the emergency horn didn't sound because the councils were attacking us, it was because Seth was dead. The pack security head guard was the first wolf I ever met, I recalled the first time I had seen him, I had jumped out of the car in the middle of the road just to escape him. Even the twin guards that also happened to be on duty with him were severely injured. Jet had locked himself inside his room since then refusing to let anyone in including me, the confusing part is no one knew how he had died, no rouges attack or any kind of attack. I couldn't shake the feeling that the councils has something to do with what happened. After freshening up the next morning, Jet still wasn't out of his room so I went over to try and see if I can get him to talk to me.I knocked on the door waiting patiently for any response but none came, as I made to knock the second time someone held my hand stilling my
*FREYA* Jet was already in the shower before I came into the room, after few seconds of fumbling with my dress zipper I was able to step out of the dress and the undergarments. Even though it seems unlikely that someone would come in, I made sure to lock the door before joining him in the bathroom, he went still for a second probably surprised that I join him.Managing a shy smile I stepped deeper into the shower. "Wanna share? Or I should use the bathtub?" I required, my face flaming at the heated look on his face. He hadn't really turned around to look at me fully because he doesn't need to. The mirror in front of us provided him with the opportunity to look from there even if I was trying to hide behind him."Some other time Freya, if we were to share a shower, we shall not be leaving this room any time soon and the meeting I have with the shifters start in about ten minutes" He answered still not taking his eyes off me, I couldn't help the disappointment that settled inside me at
*FREYA* Kale later agreed to introduce us to the shifters once they were done with the meeting they were having with Jet. I wasn't so interested but after the background story Kale shared with us a few minutes ago, I was dying to know them. I wanted to know how it works so I could convince Jet to turn me into a shifter, my face lit up as I imagined myself as a wolf howling at the full moon along with Jet."They are done, come with me ladies" Kale said pulling me back to present. I didn't need another invitation before following him, we waited outside the door as they begin to leave one after the other. He paused in front of the Jaguar guy, who seems to be the one with a friendly face among the rest despite having a bite of tattooed marks taking almost half of his face."Jared, May I introduce you to Lady Claire and Lady Freya? You see they are eager to meet you" Kale said gesturing towards us.I resist the urge to giggle as he bent down to kiss the back of my hand before turning to d
*FREYA* I retired back to my room after Fiona and I had the conversation she was hinting at, I told Hazel not to bother informing me about dinner cause I wasn't angry. Looking for something to distract myself with immediately I climbed into bed, I pick up the novel on the table and started flickering through the pages even though my mind wasn't really into what I was reading.How could it be? I'm hurt, devastated and have no idea what to do. The meeting with the shifters probably ran longer than expected after the messenger came with the latest update and I haven't seen Jet since then. In the mood, I was in currently, it was best if we didn't see each other at all.A few minutes into reading I gave up, angrily tossing the book back on the table and as I made to lay down a knock sounded on the door. I ignored it, thinking whosoever it was will go away once they figured out I was asleep. "Freya" I heard Jet drawl from outside. "I know you are awake, I can listen to your heartbeat" He
*FREYA* Morgana stopped what she was doing altogether and then stared at me probably thinking I was pulling a prank on her so she is waiting for me to crack but the tears flowing down my face must have assured her that I meant it. I didn't miss the surprise that flickered across her face as the realization drown on her."Why should I help you?" She asked darting a quick look around us to make sure no one was coming or listening, well I take that as an interest to help me."Because you want Jet and I'm the only thing standing in your way, I remembered we both said we want each other gone. Well, here is your chance" I answered wiping the tears away from my eyes, I hated the fact that for all the people my emotions could have broken down on, it choose Morgana who is no doubt relishing in it."Very brave and noble of you to think you are preventing me from making Jet my mate, just you wait. After we get Camile back, it will not take long for him to realize he does not need a human. You a
*FREYA* I stumbled into Jet's arms as he carried me and then placed me on the bar stool, I stared at him wondering what he was up to, I got my answer few minutes later after he finished pouring another glass of wine before handing it to me. Was he trying to get me drunker? Not caring anyway, I accepted it and drank it all at once."How are you feeling?" He murmured, his gaze searching my face as his hand moved to the back of my head pulling me slightly closer to him. My body hummed in response and I leaned forward to kiss him, to my surprise he pulled away.I realized he had asked me a question. "Like I want to lie down?" I pouted while trying to get off the stool, my whole body felt so heavy all of a sudden. "Do not move" He ordered as he backed away from me, I opened my mouth to tell him I couldn't even if I wanted to but immediately I saw him unbuttoning his shirt, the words died down my throat. My whole body heat up and I giggled reaching for the bottle of wine in an attempt to
*FREYA* The past few days have been really cold, not just because Jet and I have been pretty distant from one another lately, it has been three days since I last set my eyes on him, could be the fact that he was busy with a rescue mission. At least that is what I've been telling myself.I sat down by the balcony of my room out looking over the garden while gazing at the new month's latest fashion magazine, I had forgotten all about the beautiful sight over by my balcony until Hazel had mentioned it this morning since I had nothing doing I might as well be here and think about Jet all day just like I have been doing."I suspected I might find you here" Claire's voice had me turning in her direction as she strode in. She slumps across the swing-like chair facing me. "It is a beautiful sight indeed" She sighed looking out to the garden."I know right? Whosoever planted the garden knew what they were doing" I remarked before going back to what I was doing, turning and commenting on ever
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
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
