Freya's POVKingsley, seething with anger, attempted to lunge forward to take Grace's life, but I intervened and stopped him."I fail to fathom why you must implicate so many innocents when the issue is plainly between us."I leaned forward onto my knees, feeling a little unstable on my feet after the physical exertion."I have nothing to explain. Just kill me," Grace said coldly.However, at that momen
Kingsley's POVThree years later."Kingsley, these two totes contain bedding and pillows for our kids in kindergarten. I've labeled their names on the outside of the bags with a grease pencil. When you take them to kindergarten, please inform their teacher to ensure they don't get mixed up," Freya said, going through the luggage she had packed a few days earlier."This is the kindergarten uniform issued," she added.I nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, it's a small matter, no problem.
Freya's POVMy phone suddenly vibrated; it was a text message from my friend Novia Motley: "Freya, Tracy's fan meeting at the Times Mall caused a stampede today. Didn't you tweet an hour ago that you were at the mall? I mean, are you okay?"I pursed my lips, my right hand being infused, so I had to use my left hand to type a difficult reply: "Yeah, but don't worry. Just a small injury, no big deal."The message had hardly been sent when I received a call from Novia."Which hospital are you in? I'm coming to see you now." Novia's nervous voice immediately rang out of the phone."Athana National Hospital." The thought of her anxious face on the other end made me feel a little relieved and I smiled bitterly. "Hold on, I'll be right there," she assured me before she hung up the phone. As I had strolled through the mall earlier today, my only intention was to purchase a new outfit. Little did I know that I would stumble upon the fan meeting of the famous star, Tracy. The frenzied crowd
Freya's POVI spoke with an unsettling calmness as if discussing an inconsequential matter such as a meal. But as soon as my words reached Kingsley's ears, his body stiffened, and I could clearly see the desire in his eyes dissipated instantly. "Is that what you're after?" he retorted coldly, searching my face for a reaction in the dim moonlight filtering through the window."I'm simply on a mission to produce a child," I replied in a monotone voice, with a subtle sadness."Are you using this way to secure your own future?" Kingsley asked, standing up from the bed and slowly putting on his clothes.Silence filled the room as I seemed to shrink before Kingsley's eyes. He looked so angry and confused, like my words had cut him deeply. "We've been mated for three years and have yet to conceive. I'm anxious about the possibility of you having a child with another woman," I said, my voice cracking with emotion as I thought of Tracy's pregnancy-test report.Kingsley frowned deeply. "It
Freya's POVKingsley was silent for what seemed like an eternity before taking the phone. His voice was cold and husky, like that of someone who had just woken up from a deep slumber. "What do you want?" he asked in a natural tone as if it wasn't him who asked Sarah to make the call.For a moment, I thought I had guessed wrong. I took a deep breath before speaking. "In a few days, I'll write a list of where you keep your clothes and send it to you. I hope you won't bother me with these boring things in the future.""Boring?" Kingsley sneered, his voice filled with suppressed anger. "Isn't that your favorite thing to do, Freya? Caring even what underwear I wear all day, isn't that what your life is all about?"I had to admit that it was totally an awful conversation.There was silence on the phone, and nobody said anything for a while. Then I spoke up again after a while. "I've lost interest in that kind of thing. I don't care anymore. You reject me, and then we can both be happy."
Kingsley's POVI couldn't believe that Freya really dared to leave me. I had to admit that when I first saw the note left by my Luna Freya, I almost lost control. A feeling of being betrayed filled me. How dare she rejected me without my permission! I was her Alpha!I went down the stairs and asked Sarah to call Luna.She looked stunned as if she couldn't believe I was trying to find an excuse to let Luna come back. I couldn't believe it too! "What am I doing right now?" I thought, as my wolf was beginning to feel irritable and was exuding a chilly aura.I didn't understand. If Freya wanted to secure her own future, why did she come to seek my love? I meant... It was clearly a better and easier way."Excuse me, sir, but is it still the same tie?" she asked carefully. I scanned the room with a cold expression, and half of the checkroom was now filled with Freya's clothes. I coldly pulled the corner of my mouth and replied, "Just the one she said just now."As soon as the words lef
Freya's POVI drove off in a fit of anger, my mind consumed with Kingsley's smug expression. I felt furious, as though he believed I was only playing games with him to gain something.To him, it seemed like everything in the world had a price, even if it was hidden in the darkness. If someone claimed that money couldn't buy everything, Kingsley would merely scoff and say that the sum offered wasn't enough.Therefore, once something happened between us when we got along, he was always calculating how much it would take to keep me happy. But this time, I was determined not to compromise. I swore to myself that I wouldn't let him get the better of me again.Just as I made my vow, my phone rang."Hello?" I said, my voice sharp."My dear daughter, what's wrong?" My father's voice sounded cheerful on the other end of the line."What do you want?" I asked, unable to hide the irritation in my tone."I found some high-quality caviar that your mother-in-law enjoys. Come and pick it up, and reme
Freya's POV"You already have so much branded stuff. What's the point of having a new one?" I couldn't help but roll my eyes."That's just not possible," she replied. "They are all old and outmoded. Everyone else has the latest fashion item. I'll be laughed at if I go out with the old stuff. Please lend me your bag for a while, dear sister." Bianca spun her words around and gave me a smile. "Of course, dear Bianca. Your new job demands a certain image, and that old stuff just won't cut it. Besides, it's about time you upgraded," my father then turned to me and said, "You can ask your husband for a new one. He's wealthy, and he won't hesitate to buy you a new one."Theo looked at me, then set down his utensils and gave me a serious look. "You're just an intern. Why do you need an expensive bag?" I couldn't help but glance at Bianca and say. Had I come here just to be his errand person? And now, they wanted my bag, too?"We're family, what's wrong with lending your sister your bag? I

Kingsley's POV"Alpha, Renee has started a war," Jeremy suddenly burst in, his face tense as he delivered the latest battle updates.As a consequence of Boone's demise, Renee became even more audacious in his rebellion. He aligned himself with the Rogues and initiated a war, seeking to establish a new pack through bloodshed and control.Naturally, Grace wouldn't make his quest simple. Under her command, her forces clashed with Renee's forces, both sides fighting to the death."Well, I
Freya's POVLate at night, I abruptly awoke, sensing a cold breeze seeping in from outside..."Freya, open the balcony door," a voice echoed persistently in my mind.I clenched my fists tightly, resisting the compelling command that echoed repeatedly.Yet, the more I concentrated on resisting the intrusive voice, the more violently my head throbbed, as if my brain were on the verge of exploding...Suddenly— a fishy sweetness surged in my throat, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.With blood still lingering at the corner of my mouth, my body had instinctively moved to the balcony's edge and unlocked it.A shadowy figure entered, shrouded in the night's cold, promptly closing the curtains."What a beauty," remarked the visitor, revealed to be Boone, the Gamma of the Black Wolf Pack.Anger flashed in my eyes. "Boone, if you must kill me, do it now.""I will kill you, but not yet," Boone chuckled softly. "Right now, someone wishes to see you, and I must bring you to her."I gritted my t
Freya's POVIt was very quiet in the hospital room, and the wind was audibly whistling outside.I turned my head and my gaze settled on Kingsley's figure: "Kingsley, why are you here... Why am I in the hospital?"The depth of Kingsley's gaze was solemn.He slowly replied, "I brought you to the hospital today for a health check. Don't you remember? How do you feel now?""Other than my head feeling a bit cloudy, I'm fine." I raised my hand and pressed my temple.Kingsley's eyes changed for a moment, then he said in a feigned lighthearted manner, "I'll go call the doctor to come over and give you another brief checkup, is that okay?"I nodded, "Yes, thank you, Kingsley.""Just lie back, and I'll call the doctor."Kingsley stroked my hair, got up, and walked outside the hospital room. Soon he returned with a doctor who brought potions and re-administered my fluids.During this time, I lowered my head slightly, attempting to recall everyt
Kingsley's POVLate at night, I abruptly woke up. Freya lay asleep in my arms, but she wore a persistent frown, suggesting that her sleep was far from peaceful.Leaning down, I tenderly planted a kiss on her forehead. However, as soon as my kiss landed on her forehead, Freya's long legs suddenly lifted.As I was about to reach for her restless legs, Freya's foot kicked forcefully, connecting with my chest. Unexpectedly, this sent my half-kneeling body tumbling off the bed, landing on the carpet.
Freya's POVIn the afternoon, I noticed from a distance that Jeremy had brought someone to meet Kingsley. Despite my hesitation, I walked over to join them."What a surprise! I didn't expect to see you here, Alpha Kingsley," remarked the man named Renee, standing in front of Kingsley. His eyes darted around, making me feel uneasy."Renee, huh? I assume my Beta have briefed you on the partnership. Does your visit imply agreement?" Kingsley asked coldly, a frown on his face and a subtle flicker of disgust in his eyes."Of course. Nobody would decline a partnership with you, Alpha Kingsley. I just want to understand your motivation for helping me," Renee inquired cautiously."The answer is evident, isn't it? Grace is my enemy, and naturally, I want her to face consequences. You'll have control of the entire Black Wolf Pack, and I get to deal with my enemy personally. It's a fair trade, isn't it?" Kingsley responded."Indeed. Then you will come with me." Sa
Kingsley's POV"Alpha, we've received a report from Blackland," Jeremy exclaimed as he stormed into my office."Go ahead," I replied."We can confirm that Grace went back to the Black Wolf Pack with a baby, claiming it's Robert's child and destined to be the Alpha of the Black Wolf Pack."I sneered, "As I expected.""Moreover, our sources report an increase in defenses and patrols by the Black Wolf Pack lately."I paced back to the map. "Look here, Blackland is surrounded by mountains, with only narrow paths between the hills providing access to the pack's interior. After Grace returned, every entrance was strictly guarded. It presents quite a challenge, but I've heard that the Black Wolf Pack faced an attack by a group of Rogues some time ago."Turning back to face Jeremy, I continued, "They might have a secret passage into Blackland."Jeremy responded, "But would that group of Rogues be willing to collaborate with us?""We don't need to
Kingsley's POV"We need to figure out what's going on with the Black Wolf Pack right now." I met privately with Jeremy."Alpha Kingsley, what are you going to do? Grace can be tricky, and she's not stupid," Jeremy asked.I smiled and turned to him, "I think it's time to meet with my dear sister, Joyce."Grace had been imprisoned by me as an accomplice since the deaths of Alex and Robert. As for my sister Joyce, I knew she wasn't involved in all the planning, so I'd just ring-fenced a territory for her to live in.Jeremy stroked his chin as if trying to understand my true intentions. "Very well, I'll make arrangements as soon as I can."He paused for a moment as I gave him my orders. "Tell the guys to get ready for action."Jeremy nodded and then left.After a while, Joyce's voice rang out from the other side of the door. "Alpha Kingsley!"I walked over and opened the door.She was wearing subtle makeup; her perfume didn't smell as strong as it usually did, and she was acting more poli
