Once Freya opened her eyes from her three-hour nap in the woods, she saw Flarry eyeing her from the side. His looks alone would cause one to stumble to the floor. There was not a single smile on his face. "When will we be compensated for a job well done?" he eventually said, his expression grimacing.Freya yawned and stretched her limbs. “Get paid? Were you the one that arrested the Minister? What should I compensate you for?" She snarled as she stood up. She felt really weird. Weak and tired at the same time. She wanted nothing more than to have a massage, eat, and sleep again. “Say something. Why should you get paid?”“Why won't we? You hired us to execute a work for you, and we deserve to be compensated." Flarry lashed out at her.She pouted and dipped her palm inside her coat, but there was nothing within. “As you can see, I am bankrupt. If you can be patient, I will have the Alpha King pay you instead." She made a single stride, but Flarry held her back. “Can't you let me go meet
There was intense scrutiny on Freya when she entered the palace through the gate. The servants, who had sworn that the Minister had taken her away, were all astonished to see her return with a fierce appearance.They bowed their heads after giving them a quick look. Why would they look at the acting Luna in that manner? There is a penalty for this offence.Scaling the veranda, she walked slowly to her chamber. She changed into casual attire after taking off her gown. She said, "Flarry!" and sat down on the bed. His question echoed in her mind. Rather than stay there staring at him, she raced out, unable to answer it.How would she let him know that she is losing interest in him? Will that sound pleasing? Is she really being so harsh to the man who has supported her for seventeen years?"I would much prefer to ignore it and let him drift away from me. It will be better if he does and takes in another woman….” she thought, crossing her legs. "I wonder how he plans to deal with the Minis
It was the Full Moon Ceremony. The entire Pack had assembled, and Arthur was to lead the rite. He had been exceedingly busy since the night before since he was preparing for the ceremony, which he said was his first as the Alpha King.Five days had passed since the Minister was attacked, and she had heard nothing from Flarry about whether or not he had freed the Minister. She didn't bother mind linking him either, because she still couldn't answer his last question.Freya was on her own in the mountains, keeping an eye on the pack members. The Pack Ministers, Alpha King, and his foster parents were all in the front row. She was uninterested in all of this, and not being present for the ceremony was a taboo, otherwise she would remain in the palace.It was her first time watching the ceremony after her parents' deaths since she had lived as a rogue and they are not supposed to be there when the ritual is taking place. It was exhausting to watch them, and she reflected about her time as
Early the next morning, there were a lot of questions regarding the abrupted full moon ceremonial rite and the Alpha King's poor performance in safeguarding his people. The queries were pasted all over the Packs, and one of the guards had gone around to get them in the palace.Arthur was fidgeting. He had to decide which to deal with first. Was it his parents death or the queries? All of the Pack members are furious, although they are not at fault. Presently, the most vexing aspect is that those who had planned this kind of rebellion are no longer alive, and it was the one he housed within his roof that ultimately took their lives.His Beta came in and bowed to him. “It's been a while, Beta…” Arthur said, averting his eyes. “I wonder where you have been—”“Your Majesty, I deserve to die…”“Just get out of my sight. There's a possibility of replacing you.” After yelling at his Beta, Arthur resumed his task. He is in complete charge of the throne and will decide who will serve him and w
The sun had fallen, and Freya was conducting the funeral with Arthur at her side. A river would develop from the tears that fell from her eyes onto the floor. This would be her final funeral service for her parents. She will have to accept that they are doing well in the hereafter and go on with her life from this point on.A voice rang in her ear as she sat on the floor. "Flarry's intentions!” she said, looking horrified. “What is his intention that I don't know? "Wouldn't it be better if I knew what his genuine goals were?" she wondered, her gaze fixed on the blazing light."Then you must pay him a discreet visit; only then will you learn the truth. I will have to watch the best moment to accomplish it and then notify you." Her wolf suggested, and she nodded. She turned to find Arthur looking back at her, but none of them said anything to each other. Finally, they are living as strangers under the same roof.After seeing the candle melt together, Arthur departed, leaving her alone.
Arthur took a quick look at Freya as he left the room. Even though he thought it was ridiculous to go after her, he was haunted by what was wrong with her. He is not starting to hear things, is he? He was certain he heard her cry from his room.He took a seat on the couch. "It seems like a delusion," he said, shaking his head and leaning his back against the couch. “She was an Alpha Princess, and her parents were killed, then she returned for revenge…” Recalling the first day they met in the palace, his eyebrows knitted. “It means that Elora saw her so well that night. She must have jumped through the fence to set us on fire or kill us as well but stumbled onto me.”He stroked his cheek and winked. "That night, I captured her eye, and she decided to become my Luna, only to discover that I had nothing to do with her past—then she saved my life,” he smiled. "I am glad I took her in; otherwise, I would have perished as a helpless victim."He kept reminiscing on the past. On the day he fo
“My Princess!” At hearing that voice, Freya was astounded. It was not what she was anticipating, not too soon. She turned to meet Sera and Lucien at her back. Each of them leaped into her arms. “You did it! You finally won…” Sera burst into tears.Lucien fixed his gaze on her. "I am delighted you were successful before this day, as it is already eighteen years."Her heart felt as heavy as a stone, but she forced a smile. She answered to them, "It is okay, let us simply get together again when I settle things in the palace." Sera withdrew from her body. "I am assuming you believe that I killed Arthur?""Even though I knew you didn't, I still wanted to know why." Lucien queried. He was not expecting anybody to be spared, which is why he was so curious to find out the real reason for her choice. Aside from the fact that Arthur was the small kid Freya loved, the one secret he had known all along was that he was their enemy, and Freya could not let him survive.Freya took a sharp inhale. H
As soon as Freya got back to the palace, she started packing. She had enough money with her, so it will last for some time before she gets a job. She had chosen to leave, conceive, and then care for her kid alone.Hearing what Flarry had to do with her, it would be too cruel for her to start a battle with him now that she is pregnant, therefore leaving the Pack completely to annoy him will buy her ample time.After pulling out the royal file, she gave it a long look and shook her head. "I risked my life to obtain this, and now I am going to give it back?" she said, biting her lower lip. "But if I follow through with it and he discovers that I have left, he will come for me and this file will be all he wants—because it is the only way he can succeed in killing Arthur and inherit the throne."Tears streamed down her cheeks. She rubbed her palm on her belly. "Although you will grow without your father, I pray your fate will not be like mine." She gulped deeply. "If I go through with this
