Freya's POV
After 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 hospitFreya'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 POVThe people around me who attended the funeral offered to step aside.I tightened my lips and walked over to Freya with a solemn expression.In just a few days, Freya had lost a considerable amount of weight, and at this moment, her face appeared pale.The moment I saw her, my heart ached.I stepped forward and gently placed my hand on Freya's shoulder, casting a cold glance in Theo's direction as my inner wolf let out an angry growl. "What were you about to say?"Theo immediately shifted into a falsely ingratiating smile and inclined his back, "Nothing. I meant to say that I'm certain that you'll take good care of Freya."I gave him a cold glance and remained silent.I turned to Freya and whispered apologetically, "I'm sorry I'm late."Freya replied in a hushed tone, "It's alright. You've always been late after all."As we exchanged looks, Freya's gaze seemed distant, as though I wer
Kingsley's POVA sharp pain shot through me, and I instinctively clutched my chest, collapsing to my knees with my entire body trembling.My wolf surrendered almost instantly, weakened by the rejection he had received from his mate.For a moment, I questioned whether I had misheard.I gazed steadily at Freya, her eyes still icy."Oh, no..." I pleaded. "This is not the time for such matters."Theo had already found a new mate and started a new family, Livia had passed away, and now, Freya was practically alone in the Dark Moon Pack.I couldn't believe that she would reject me and end our bond at this moment.Freya merely regarded me coldly. "For me, now is the best time. We've wasted too much time already."I endured the intense pain, bracing myself to stand up.I looked at Freya and spoke in a deep voice, "I won't accept your rejection. As long as I refuse to accept it, our bond will persist."Despite Freya wou
Freya's POV Leaving Kingsley's place, tears welled up in my eyes as I drove along the road, making it difficult to see ahead. I had to pull over and let the emotions out. My heart ached, and I looked around, feeling lost.Eventually, after collecting myself, I decided to go back to Novia's place.I hadn't eaten all day, so Novia cooked me some food. I didn't have much of an appetite, but I didn't want to disappoint my friend, so I managed to eat half of it.Novia whispered, "Freya, are you okay?""Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry," I replied with a forced smile, trying to hide the pain in my heart.When I had rejected Kingsley earlier, I had felt pain, but now I felt a sense of relief, as if I had broken free from the shackles that had been holding me back.Just then, my phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and was surprised to see that it was Henry Quinn, the Alpha of the Moonlight Pack.I answered, "Hello!"Henry warmly
Kingsley's POVI had just arrived home, and Sarah was bustling around, cleaning up.I loosened my tie and surveyed the foyer. Freya's belongings looked almost untouched, just as they were when she had left.As I was about to head upstairs, Sarah called out to me, "Alpha Kingsley, is Luna Freya still coming tonight? Should I leave the door unlocked for her?"My fingers curled, and it took a moment for my voice to break through, "Leave it unlocked."I made my way into the bedroom, where Freya's lingering scent still hung in the air.I lay down on the bed, which now carried a faint fragrance. My heart ached as I breathed in her scent and thought about her determination at the funeral.I took out my phone, opened WhatsApp, and edited the message box for a long time, typing, "Will you come back to me, please?"After hesitating for a while, I finally pressed send.However, when I saw the message fail to be sent, I froze in place, my heart pound
Freya's POV The following day, I took a break from the crew, packed up, and headed to Quinn Media.After waiting downstairs for a while, Danny descended from upstairs and greeted me warmly, saying, "Miss Freya, please follow me."I was a bit perplexed when I saw Danny. After all, I had only come for a medical checkup. It didn't seem necessary for Danny, the Beta of Alpha Henry, to personally escort me there, right? Despite my doubts, I refrained from asking too many questions and kept my conversation to a minimum during the journey.Before long, Danny took me to the hospital where I was scheduled for my medical examination. It was a private hospital affiliated with the Moonlight Pack, situated quite a distance from the company. The drive took around forty to fifty minutes.Upon arrival, Danny helped me complete the necessary paperwork, and then I proceeded with the checkup as per the items listed on the form. The hospital wasn't crowded, and Danny had to attend to a phone
Freya's POVBefore I went to bed at night, my cell phone rang suddenly.I glanced at the caller ID; it was Grace's number, and my expression soured.I furrowed my brow. Why was Grace calling me all of a sudden? After a moment of hesitation, I reluctantly answered the phone."I heard you've rejected Kingsley and left the pack?" Grace's voice immediately emanated from the phone, as a viper spitting out venom.I couldn't help but hold the phone away from my ear and waited for her to finish before I responded faintly, "That's correct. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."Thinking that she had actually tampered with the medicine she gave me, I really didn't want to exchange another word with such a malicious person."Let's meet tomorrow morning at ten o'clock at the Eclipse Cafe."Just as I was about to hang up, Grace's voice chimed in again. I clenched my jaw and replied, "Sorry, I'm not available."Grace responded nonchalantly, "You don't want me to show up at your workplace or w
