The chief minister's desire for the royal file came to an end when Freya vowed to expose him if he asked for it again. He regretted ever allying with a stranger for the sake of the file, and he did not want Luna to lose faith in him. It has been five days, and the most exciting news for Freya is that Arthur is now awake. Although she is still concerned about what she will do with the file, and Flarry constantly reminds her that her time in the palace is ended, she admires the fact that he suffered and survived it. Luna rudely barged into her room and stripped her nude as she was getting ready to go for a walk about the palace with Arthur, as he had requested. She examined her nude body closely. She became angry and questioned Luna, "What is all this drama for? You would not harm Elora in this way, I am sure of it, and…." “And what again? Are you not tired of this already?” Luna shot back. She licked her lips. She could not understand what Luna was saying. “I had made plans for
Luna gave the Minister of War instructions, and an hour later, he showed up at the palace. They started organizing things when he warmed up to her. "When hunting with a gun and an arrow, which is simpler to trick?" Luna asked him. He rolled his eyes. "I believe an arrow, rather than a bullet, is preferable to deceive with." Luna handed him a large sum of money. "I would like you to create a hunting game between the Alpha King, his Mistress, and the playing Luna, and it will go like this." She handed him a piece of paper that she had pulled out. "This is Fletcher's address; please go to him and let him create their own arrows with various designs. A couple of Freya's belongings should be stolen and delivered to the assassin, and it should carry their name. The Minister gave a nod. “What are you planning this time?” his brows arched. "To call her a traitor..." she said with a sinister grin. "One of them should go to prison, but the others should all return with enormous animals." “
Once they arrived back at the palace, Freya was pulled into the hall and made to kneel. She glanced at the ministers' features before turning to meet Arthur, whose eyes were already fixed on her. She saw his expression, which was one of astonishment and disappointment, indicating that he did not think she had not done it. With an evil smirk on his face, the Chief Minister approached her. "You tried murder on the King countless times and got away with it, but there is no reason for you to claim innocence this time." He grinned at her again before turning to face the King. "And this time, the Alpha King will not have any incentive to support you either." Freya bit her lower lips. "It can not end like this. I can not let all of my plans fall through. I should have killed them earlier, instead of waiting around," she let out a deep sigh. She was having a hard time coming up with an idea since her heart was so heavy. "How did they plan all of this? Why didn't I learn that they removed my
An attack occurred on Arthur three days after Freya was placed in the cell. While surveying the palace and attempting to compose himself, an arrow grazed his chin and went through the side of his face. His mouth hanging open, he felt his chin, finding a small amount of blood, and dabbed it with his handkerchief. He turned to his left, and as he did so, he picked up the arrow that had been shot at him on the ground. Reading what was written there, his brows tightened, and he remembered that same day when Freya had lost two of her arrows. "She is not the culprit!" His hand balled up. He looked up to see Flarry on the rooftop, this time pointing a rifle at him. “That assassin again?” he shook his head. He turned around and started walking toward the rooftop, saying, "This is not his mask; he must be the one that battled me that day." Being an experienced Alpha, he had no trouble reaching the rooftop, and when he did, he spotted nobody. "He flew, I wonder when I will be able to get ho
Luna took her hairpin out and set it down on the surface. She stood in front of the mirror, undressed, and then sat down on the ground with her legs pressed together. She struggled to break free from the moment between her and Arthur in the hallway chamber, her lips pouting fiercely.She said under her breath, her palms pressed together, "He is sprouting wings—in a way that I can not cut them off." Breathless, she said, "I have to deal with him before he gets out of control, and the worst part is that I can not dethrone him myself so simply else it would not be a huge concern."She continued to wipe her face with her palm since it felt hot in her chamber and she was starting to perspire. “How will I do it? Where will I start?” she growled, pissed off. "He puts that girl in front of me and talks back to me like I am just a maid. What a nuisance!?” her fist clenched.Her spouse entered and sat down in front of her as the door suddenly swung open. She was unable to meet his eyes directly
Sera walked into the room as Freya was applying cream on her body. She had freshened up as one who came out of the cell but had no appetite to eat. All she wants is for the night to end; she can not wait to cut off Arthur's head tonight.Knowing that they are mates and that he is the boy she has been searching for, she decided against killing her last. But after the recent tragedy that occurred in the name of hunting, she would not be able to take it anymore. She feels bad now because she disregarded Flarry's instructions and did not listen.She went to the bed, got her clothes, and put them on. “Stop staring at me, I have eyes at the back…” she referred to Sera who was standing motionless and dumb in the room. “Why are you here?”“To tell you the latest news—” She laughed as she took three steps closer to Freya. "Elora is prepared to kill you with a dagger anytime soon while you are alone and asleep."She swung her body around to look at the lady speaking to her. "Can you repeat what
Elora looked at the Beta, still trying to figure out what had happened between them and Freya. “Do you get it?” she inquired, brows furrowed. "What the heck did she just do to us?"He got off the bed by pulling up the cover. “I can't tell. I am just afraid she will expose us to Luna—that is my biggest concern." With that, he started dressing. He is unable to explain how much he sacrificed in order to be with Elora, who was thought of as the Alpha's mistress. Is it possible for him to inform them that Elora was his mate? Would he just fabricate a story about how she tempted him to do this? Not now that Freya is aware of their shared activities.“This is not the appropriate place for us to meet. This is the most deadly..."“Snap it out!” Elora gave a warning and got to her feet. "I have to murder her tonight so she will not be able to spill anything at all because we can not disclose this," she said, bending down to pick up the blade, only to find it missing from the room. "It is not h
During the night, Freya got out of bed and started getting dressed. Now was the moment to finally complete her purpose and get rid of Arthur the way she had originally intended. She wore a coat, her face hidden under a mask.She dropped the named tanto knife and picked up the unlabeled one before swooping through the window to leave the room. It surprised her that Arthur was still awake at that hour of the night when she crept into his room.She pulled out her blade and said, "After all the time I wasted for him to be deep asleep—" shocking Arthur, who immediately got up and took a step back. “Tonight, I am not going to let it go.” She thought, "I will take you down.” she threw the tanto knife at him, and he grabbed it right away.She sighed.“You came again? I am delighted you reconciled with them, but why would you return if I was not aware of your presence in this Pack?” Arthur tossed the knife back at her, and she grabbed it. "People like you must have slaughtered souls and should
Three weeks later,“The Alpha King is dead, she's just hiding him in his chamber.”“The ministers are bothered to enthrone a new King since she's still pregnant….”“It is said that she killed him to avenge the death of her parents….”Rumors are spreading around the Pack, and Freya is the most haunted about it. There is a secret not even she knew, but that would come to light when it's due. She doesn't wish for all her hard work to be in vain.If Arthur doesn't wake up—even if it would be a miracle, she would be a loser. It has been finally exposed that the maid who claimed to be bearing the Alpha’s child is an impersonator and is Elora. For accusing the King and impersonating, her penalty is death, and the ones that had her backed up, including the Beta, Flarry, and his men, the Ministers, will all be executed.But, one thing has to be sure. The only one who would order the execution is the Alpha King. he needs to wake up, to save Freya from that hell, or they will all succeed, thereb
At first, Freya was furious. But when she reasoned that it must be a trick as such gibberish came from the same maid she was suspecting, she decided to go talk about it privately with Arthur. “Leave!!!” She commanded the maid before her and headed towards the Alpha's room.Entering, she didn't believe her eyes. Arthur was lying lifeless on the floor. She rushed to him and shook his body constantly…. “If this is a prank, just end it and open your eyes.” she shrieked, trying to open his eyes. “Pupils dilated. What is wrong with him?”She studied his pulse and it was faint. “His body is chilly—” she bit her lower lip. “Arthur!!!” her voice resounded in the room. “Geralt!!!” she repeated, breathing endlessly. “This isn't a joke. Call the physician…” she ordered and struggled to get him up until he was laid on the bed.She stood some feet away from the bed, staring at his face. “What is wrong with him? His face is becoming pale. He was just fine minutes ago….” she was panting, trying to be
The secluded building was as quiet as usual. Freya's footsteps reverberated in the area as she walked in with her sword in her palm. Her eyes trailed around the room, knowing that whoever eavesdropped on her conversation with Arthur must surely be hiding in a place.“Reveal yourself before I find you—” she stamped her sword on the floor. “Now!!!!”Elora quivered. She would spit out her heart if time weren't taken. She would have been mindful if she had known that Freya would come after her. When she arrived, she reached the well to see Arya there. Her eyes were tied up so she couldn't see a thing but observed that someone came around.She didn't bother to speak since her aim of coming into the palace wasn't to save her. She learned how the rope was tied and it happened to be a tough one, and noticing that Freya was after her made her dodge to save her life first.“You won't come out right?” Freya laughed and walked to the well. “Make sure I don't see you again. If I do, you will regre
Elora was disguised and sent forth to the palace. She came a long way with the Beta to the way that would lead her into the Pack fully. She turned to meet Beta's eyes, “Be strong alive, and wait for me.”He sniffed and patted her shoulder. “I'm worried about you more….”“Don't bother. I will be fine. They won't know that it's me.” she assured him and pulled him closer for a kiss. “Freya is tricky, so I will be very careful and make use of that opportunity wisely.”He caressed her cheek and then bid her goodbye.She didn't stop walking until she entered the palace as a palace maiden. One would think she was there to only do as Flarry had ordered her, but it was her only time to do what brought her back to pack. First, she needs to create enmity between Freya and Arthur and then be able to strike with that opportunity. She entered the palace and reached the kitchen. Flarry had told her that the captured maiden who was still caged was posted in the kitchen, so she would have to go there
Before Flarry and his men, Elora and the Beta were tied up, too. They kept wincing in pain, pleading to be rescued, but Flarry was deaf to their plea. He was trying to get an idea of what to use them for.He knew they were banished, and if they were on good terms with Arthur or Freya, it wouldn't happen. “Killing them isn't a nice option either. It's a waste of strength….” he said to himself, looking up to meet their gaze. “They might do a better job to save Arya.”“We already told you our motives, and you assured us that it was the same as yours. Why then would you tie us up? Do you think we will betray you?” the Beta voiced out. If only he was with just a single sword, it would have been better. He was already intending to get one once they went into the market since his sword was taken from him as it was the palace’s property.Flarry gulped. He was lost for words.“Just untie us so we can settle things. Unless you are still in love with Freya and are enraged that we plot to kill he
The next day, Freya came into Arthur's room very early in the morning to see him still lying on the bed. She tapped his thigh. “It's morning already, won't you wake up?” she gnashed her teeth. “He's still that lazy….”“Who told you?” he peeped at her, stretching his limbs. “I am never lazy. I was being that way to steal your heart then, but not now. You wouldn't even accept me if I'm weak.” he yawned and sat up on the bed. “When did you leave the bed that I didn't get to know?”She scoffed. "You sleep so much that I can drag you out and you won't even know.”He shook his head. “You lie! If I was that way, then you would have killed me even before my parents.”She smiled, seeing him defend himself in all aspects is proof that he was becoming mature enough to be the King without being intimidated. “Fine, I just had a peek of the ministers and they are all shivering due to the cold. Leaving them to die there will cause your people to be against you, so I would prefer that they be thrown
About an hour after the fight with Flarry, Freya decided to go meet the maiden whom she's sure was Arya. She goes into the room to see her breathing quickly. “You must be so hungry that your breathing accelerated…” she squatted before her and wiped her nose ruthlessly. “Mates!!!”Arya lifted her face, having a scowl. “You must be jealous that we are mates….”“And you must have known about our relationship that you quoted that I'm jealous of.” she scoffed and rubbed her palm on Arya’s hair. “It's also a pity that he wouldn't even care if I kill you here. That won't stop him from attacking me either, not until he gets what he wants. So you can see, being his mate changes nothing. If you die while helping him, he will have another woman for himself.”Arya clenched her teeth. She hates it that Freya was talking ill of her lover, but could still reason out of it. Why isn't Flarry here to save her despite knowing she is in danger? Just like Freya said to her, she is worthless to Flarry and
Stamping the edge of his sword constantly on the floor, Flarry felt shattered. He didn't expect the ministers not to achieve what they had gone into the palace for. Arthur was a weak King to him and he believed that the ministers would be able to control him no matter what.He lifted his head to face his right-hand man, “Why should I believe that the puppet King arrested them all? Is it even that possible? A plea from the ministers is supposed to weigh him down that he will have no choice…..”“Freya is his strength!!!” the young man replied, sitting on the floor, his legs coiled up. “She emerged and startled them all, ready to kill them until Arthur interfered and stopped him. She must know that you staged it all…..”Flarry dropped his sword on the floor. “That wench! I just regret not killing her from the beginning……”“If it had worked out like you planned, you wouldn't say this.”“What then should I do? I need that file to overthrow Arthur. Once I successfully do it, Freya will be p
When the sun had set that same day, Arthur was already back and had discussed how everything went with Freya. He was taking a nap when the loud noise that kept reverberating in his ear forced him to sit up.He focused, to know if the noise he heard while asleep was real or his hallucinations. His brow arched when he realized that it was the voice of the ministers. “What is going on out there? Is it also written in the Pack constitution that the King will never rest?” he grimaced.Several times, he wanted to force himself to get back to sleep again but couldn't. It looked like they were screaming in his eyes once he laid back on the bed.“Who's there?” he screamed, and a guard came in and got to his knees. “What is going on out there? Or am I beginning to hear things?”The guard shook his head. “The Ministers are protesting in the front of the hall chamber.”“Why? Did anybody die?” he climbed down from the bed gently since the guard failed to answer his second question. He put on his r
