Freya's POV
The next morning, I was jolted awake by a ringing phone. Groggily, I reached out to answer, "Hello?""Luna Freya, good morning. It's Jeremy," came Jeremy's voice from the other end of the line. Jeremy? What was he calling for? Instantly, I was awake, thinking that Kingsley probably put him up to this call."Yes?" I asked."It's like this, Alpha Kingsley said he wanted to try your cooking," Jeremy replied. Since that night, we had both silently chosen not to contact each other. And now, Kingsley had finally remembered me, but only to have me cook for him.I was immediately a little offended, feeling like Kingsley was acting like a jerk. Who did he think I was? A babysitter who cooked?"Tell him I'm not available!!!" I refused with irritation."Alpha Kingsley said if you don't show up, the contract between you two will be voided. He'll also be calling to check on your father, Luna FreKingsley's POV"Well, I mean you two look so different."I had just reached the office door when I heard this.Could someone please explain what was happening here?I'd only been gone for a moment, and now my Luna was talking animatedly to someone about her Alpha?Finley's voice rang out, "Kingsley is exceptional. As the eldest son of the Lycan King, he was raised to uphold the highest standards and has never tarnished the Lycan bloodline since becoming the Alpha of his pack. He is well-tempered, patient, and has diligently trained each and every one of the pack, leading the pack to its current state. I won't lie, everyone in the pack trusts him."Just as my heart warmed at Finley's words, Freya's voice suddenly interjected, "Wait, are you sure you're talking about the same person I know?""In all my life, I've never encountered someone with a worse personality than him, who seemingly would get angry about everything. Every time he gets upset, he w
Freya's POVSoon after, production commenced on The Luna of the Lycan King in a discreet manner.No media notifications were issued, and news of the filming kickoff remained undisclosed on all platforms.Even every cast and crew member signed a non-disclosure agreement, obligating them to refrain from uploading any photos, videos, or audio recordings related to the shooting location.Violation of the contract would result in termination, fines, and a threefold payment of liquidated damages.The opening ceremony proceeded exceptionally smoothly.On that occasion, I finally had the chance to meet the male and female lead actors of the drama.Perhaps due to some unknown reasons, the pace of filming picked up right from the outset.A member of the crew divulged that Michael aimed to wrap up the production before the year's end.While my role wasn't extensive, it was rather diverse in nature.Following a full day of shooting, I felt fine aside from the discomfort caused by the weighty cost
Freya's POVIt took a considerable amount of effort to relocate Kingsley to his own room. After sweating, I went to take another shower before lying down on the bed and slipping into a deep sleep.The following day, upon waking up, I descended the stairs. Kingsley, who had returned to his usual self, was having his breakfast. Upon noticing me, he turned his head awkwardly and mumbled, "Your breakfast is ready and still hot."I flinched momentarily, then responded, "Thank you, but I need to head to the hospital now."Unexpectedly, Kingsley chimed in, asking, "Do you need a ride?"I froze for a moment and replied, "Don't bother. I still need to go to the theater after my visit to the hospital. You can go to deal with your own things."With that, I departed and soon found myself en route to the hospital.My mother Livia's condition remained unchanged. Since that day when she had reacted to watching the videotape chronicling my life from childhood to adulthood, there hadn't been any oth
Kingsley's POVI drove on, glancing in the rearview mirror at Freya seated in the car, wearing a displeased expression, while sunlight bathed her resolute face.I pursed my lips slightly and said patiently, "There's a Chamber of Commerce event being held on a cruise ship tonight, and you're accompanying me.""What?" Freya asked, turning her head, looking somewhat surprised.I calmly responded, "Yes, I thought a cruise ship experience might appeal to you, especially since you've never been on one."Freya raised an eyebrow, displaying mild disinterest. "Well, it doesn't seem necessary for me to go. Don't you have several beautiful secretaries in your company? Couldn't you just pick one of them to accompany you?" Freya hesitated, her reluctance apparent.Observing her hesitation, I grew somewhat irritated. "You're my Luna, and of course, I want you there."Freya opened her mouth as if to reply but ended up saying nothing. Without waiting for me to spe
Freya's POVI bowed to the crowd and then inclined my head toward Kingsley."Alpha, may I leave now, please?"I really didn't want to spend another minute here, and I didn't want to give Tracy any more opportunities to insult me.Kingsley nodded, and I seized the chance to quickly exit the dining area, leaving the ballroom and heading out onto the deck to blow off some steam.Thinking of a scene from a movie or TV show I had watched before, I playfully placed my feet on the railing and spread my arms wide, feeling the oncoming sea breeze mixed with the scent of the ocean. "I'm the king of the world!"I yelled out to the ocean, feeling the boredom in my heart suddenly swept away."And who am I supposed to be? Your queen?"Kingsley's muffled voice suddenly came from behind me, and I turned with difficulty to see him standing there.His gaze held an unusually dark, lustful gleam that made my heart feel like it was about to burst from my ches
Freya's POVAfter that night, it seemed like a wonderful change was occurring between Kingsley and me.Kingsley and I settled into a routine. If he was at home instead of traveling, I'd play the piano, sing lullabies, or perform other soothing songs, and we'd spend almost every night together, like teenagers falling in love all over again.When that occurred, we would have breakfast together, and then he'd head off to work or a business trip while I continued with my day.It didn't matter how late he came in or how hectic his day was; he always brought me some kind of gift.It amazes me how considerate he can be. Books, jewelry, chocolates, and once even a teddy bear - all of these gifts adorned my bookshelf. However, usually, he would bring me a bouquet of flowers.I was on the set, in the middle of a shoot, when I received an unexpected call from the hospital. I quickly picked up the phone."Freya, you need to come to the hospit
Freya's POV All the voices in my ears seemed distant; only the doctor's voice rang clearly in my ears.Novia's eyes were red, and she held me, saying in a muffled voice, "Freya, you have to be strong. Go inside and take a look."I clenched my hand and whispered, "I'm fine."With that, I headed toward the operating room.Livia lay there quietly, her face covered with an oxygen mask.The mist from her breath was no longer visible on the mask, and the numbers on the instrument next to her had dropped to a very low value.She was so thin that she seemed to blend in with the surgical bed beneath her. All this indicated that the person in the hospital bed was nearing the end of her life.I took her hand. Livia was skilled at painting, and the knuckles of her middle finger were covered with calluses from years of painting.When Livia was healthy, she wasn't particularly thin, so there was s
Freya's POV"The doctor said it's a miracle you were able to conceive, considering your history with wolfsbane. So, Freya, what are you planning to do now?" Novia inquired, fixing her gaze on me.Finley, too, shot a nervous glance my way for a brief moment.I comprehended the underlying message in her words.However, from the moment I discovered my pregnancy, I had no intention of giving up on this child.Despite Kingsley's frequent absence when I needed him the most and the fact that this child wasn't a product of love, this baby was still my child and would eventually become part of my family.I placed my hand on my stomach and met Novia's gaze. "I will have the baby."Novia nodded, displaying no surprise at my decision.It suddenly dawned on me that Kingsley's mother had administered wolfsbane in the medicine she had given me earlier. She had also frozen all my financial assets when my mother was critically ill
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 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 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
