Kingsley's POVI chased after her and found Freya sullenly waiting at a red light at an intersection. I approached her, removed my jacket, and draped it over her shoulders. Freya didn't glance back at me. I pursed my lips and said, "Your shirt is dirty.""None of your business!" Freya snapped, whipping her head around with red eyes. "Where were you when I needed you? Who are you sympathizing with now?"Looking into her reddened eyes, I remained silent and reached out to gently wipe away the coffee stain that had just splashed onto her cheek and hadn't been cleaned. Freya waved my hand away, saying, "Leave me alone; I'm not your mate anymore!"My fingers trembled, and my throat tightened. I opened my mouth after a long pause and whispered, "I'm sorry.""Sorry is the most useless thing in the world to say," Freya said, still looking at me with red eyes. "Now that you know what your mother did to me, whether it's your sister or your mother, don't ever mess with me again, including yo
Kingsley's POV It wasn't until the judge and jury took their seats that Freya removed her mask and hat, her eyes scanning the gallery."Luna Freya!"Jeremy nearly let out a yelp.The group of spectators behind us couldn't hold back their gasps the moment they saw Freya's true face.Freya was undeniably stunning; otherwise, I wouldn't have been drawn to her the first time we met.But now I'd disappointed her and lost her, my Luna.Some keen-eyed reporters had already recognized Freya!I gazed at Freya at the plaintiff's table, clenching my fists to resist the urge to pull her towards me.After the initial shock, I turned my attention to Finley, her attorney, who stood beside Freya, and my expression darkened.In Athana, there were plenty of lawyers; Freya couldn't have found Finley, who had just returned home, with such precision even if she had been searching for someone to file a lawsuit.The court discipline was read aloud, and the trial officially commenced.Finley displayed the c
Freya's POVA few minutes later, the trial continued.I sat back in the plaintiff's seat.Both lawyers continued to spar with each other.The defense lawyer's skill was truly on par with Finley's, but Finley had the upper hand since our evidence was strong.The defense struggled to present new evidence and gradually found themselves at a disadvantage. As the arguments from both sides concluded, the scene shifted to multiple deliberations before the verdict was delivered.The defendant was found guilty of defamation and immediately issued a public apology on Facebook and other platforms.They agreed to apologize publicly for over seven days and compensate me, the plaintiff, for moral damages, lost wages, and other costs, totaling five hundred thousand dollars.This outcome was within my expectations.After the trial, reporters who had been waiting for interviews swarmed around me as I left the cour
Henry's POVQuinn Media。I was sitting in my office, just finishing a day's work and contemplating how to deal with Kingsley later on. However, I waited a long time and Kingsley just didn't come.Feeling puzzled, I picked up my cell phone and gave Kingsley a call.When he answered, his voice sounded notably different from his previous overbearing look, more like a defeated rooster as he whispered, "What's wrong?"My mouth twitched as I responded, "Didn't you say you were coming to my company? What time is it, and where are you?"Kingsley seemed to recall the plan, pursed his lips, and replied, "I'm out and about. How about dinner instead?"After setting a meeting place, I hung up the phone, opened my third drawer, and reached for my car keys. Suddenly, I noticed a picture frame partially hidden beneath some items.I paused to retrieve the picture. It was an old family photo featuring young parents holding a four or five-year-old bo
Freya's POVOver the next few days, I was in a rush to reach the theater and catch up. I needed to better prepare myself for life with the kids later on.When I got home after finishing up, I fell asleep and woke up around noon the following day.As the future godmother of the child, Novia had the day off and went grocery shopping to buy a variety of ingredients. She intended to prepare a delicious meal at home today for me.Unlike my cooking skills, which haven't improved in the past few years, Novia's culinary skills are exceptional. Whenever she had some free time, she would cook delicious meals in different styles, and I would simply play a role in cleaning up and doing the dishes.However, today, I woke up late, and Novia's meal was almost ready when I finally got up. While serving the meal, Novia casually asked me, "Is Kevin reliable?""He should be reliable," I replied, taking a bite of food when my cell phone suddenly vibrated. Kevin
Freya's POVAfter I disembarked from the bus, I received a call from Henry. I felt a bit puzzled, wondering why Henry had suddenly called me. Contemplating it for a moment, I answered the call."Hello, Henry, what's going on?" I asked."Freya, where are you?" Henry inquired.My eyebrows shot up. Were we really close enough to address each other by our first names?"I'm at the courthouse; I have a lawsuit to file today," I replied after a moment. "Is there something work-related, Henry?""No..." Henry hesitated for a moment and then changed his words. "Which court are you at for the lawsuit? I'll come over and sit in."I considered it and said, "Sure, come over."After ending the call, I texted him the address.Finley asked, "Is Alpha Henry coming over?"Henry arrived a few minutes before the court proceedings and took a seat where Kingsley had sat last time. It felt as if he were part of my family. On the defendant Theo's side, there
Kingsley's POVI couldn't explain why, but I sat in my office for a long time, unable to concentrate. For some reason, Freya's face kept popping into my head, which felt like a bad omen.I shook my head, attempting to calm myself down. Suddenly, my chest tightened violently, and an indescribable force gripped my heart. My entire body lost control instantly, and I collapsed to the ground.I struggled to support myself and tried to stand up, but without exception, I failed. I slumped to the ground, sweat covering my forehead. The wolf inside me let out a terrified yelp, marking the first time I had ever encountered such a situation."Jeremy..."I shouted towards the door, but my voice was weak, and I waited for a long time with no response. Just as I was becoming disheartened, a horrifying thought sprang into my mind."Did something happen to Freya?"With this thought, I used my hands to brace my body vigorously and slowly managed to rise from the gr
Freya's POVI woke up to the sound of cardiac instruments beeping in my ears and the sharp scent of hospital disinfectant filling my nostrils. I struggled to look around and saw Novia, her expression filled with concern.Novia walked over to me and gently took my hand. "Freya, are you okay?"I slowly turned my head to look at Novia and weakly asked, "Novia, how's my baby?"Novia flinched for a moment, her eyes quickly welling up with tears, and she looked at me without saying a word."How is my baby?" I inquired, tears unconsciously welling up in my eyes.Novia lowered her head and let out a small sniffle before looking up at me, trying to muster a smile as she spoke soothingly, "Freya...""He's gone, isn't he? I lost him," I whispered softly, unable to hold back the tears that blurred my vision.I turned my head and stared up at the ceiling, continuing to speak to myself, "I've always felt so useless, unable to protect the ones I love.
