FREYA POVYou're pregnant That was all I could hear, it was ringing in my ears. I looked at Neveah and she seemed worried about me. I was still shocked by the news to feel anything but when the shock dulled down. I could only feel one thing. Happy. Ace and I are going to have a baby.I looked at Neveah and a look of pure joy erupted on my face. "I'm pregnant. Ace and I are going to have a child Neveah" I said to her smiling widely that one would think my lips would split into two. Neveah smiled back but she still had a worried look on her face. I knew why. How was I going to hide this from Kye? This only meant one thing. I had to go home. I can't risk my baby's life. Being here on my own is one thing. But carrying this child now it's another. It's going to be really dangerous."Freya, what are you going to do now? How are you going to hide it from Kye?" She said"I have to leave Neveah, that is the only way I can protect this child. My mission here is over, maybe sooner than I expe
FREYA POVI sat on the floor all night crying my eyes out. Kye hasn't come back since last night. I'd rather he kill me than to keep me here like this, I knew he had feelings for me but that was all I thought it was, feelings. I didn't know he was obsessed with me. I can't forget the look in his eyes yesterday, the words he said to me. I was supposed to meet Ace today. I was supposed to be with him today. He will notice something is wrong when I don't show up. I know that. I heard the door opening and I stood up quickly. Kye walked in and I saw some guards outside the door. He quickly closed it. I sat on the bed and I didn't spear him a glance. There was still a bruise on my face from yesterday."I had to sleep in your room last night. Did you enjoy mine?" He said. He dropped a glass of water on the table. I was terribly thirsty, I just drank the water in one go and I didn’t give him an answer. The water tasted odd though but I didn't think about it."Can't you speak or have you sud
ACE POVIt has been four days since we brought Neveah to the pack and since Freya's predicament has been known to me. I was sharpening my sword at the garden. I was angry. That was the most dominant feeling I felt. I was angry at Kye, I wanted to kill him for what he had done but most of all I was angry at myself. That maybe somehow this was my fault. If I had forced her to stay, if I hadn't just let her go maybe she would be safe and our baby would still be alive.I do not know how Freya might feel right now. I just wanted to hold her. To let her know that I'm here and that I would never leave her side. I would get her back tonight and reassure her. We were going to attack the rogue territory today. We'll Get her out as safely as we can."She is going to be fine." I heard Darren say behind me"I'm sorry I pushed you, I was livid." I said to Darren bending my head in shame."It's okay Ace. I understand you and I've had worse." He said and smiled. I touched his shoulder."Thank you
ACE POVIt's been a few days since Freya has been back. Things haven't been quite the same and I'm guessing it's because of the child. Everytime I would try to talk about it. Freya would just deflect or usually use intercourse as a way to avoid every conversation. I thought that was what she needed, what would make her happy but I'm beginning to see that it's a way for her to avoid the situation. She's trying to fake it for me, that nothing is actually wrong with her, but I know her too well to know that she's not fully healed yet. I never expected her to be. But I just wish she would share her burdens with me.When we weren't sleeping with each other, she was keeping herself busy with tending the gardens, practicing with Yuri, watching the food distributions. Basically everything she could lay her hand on. Then at night, instead of talking to me, she would rather sleep with me and afterwards go to sleep and that was it, no conversations. Just blank. I would catch her sobbing at
FREYA POVThings have been going well between Ace and I since we had our conversation. It's been weeks now. Weeks and Kye hasn't said anything or done anything yet. I didn't want to worry about that. I'm happy and I'm glad that I took Ralia's advice. I shouldn't have let my fears to almost ruin our relationship. I'm happy I faced them. The images of blood weren't that consistent anymore. The nightmares as well. Maybe I was finally getting rid of them or maybe not. I wouldn't think of it. Today was a special day. It was Ace's birthday and we were planning a surprise. More like I was planning a surprise for him. I still haven't told the others yet.I just want us to have a day where we won't think about our problems. A day where we would enjoy ourselves. The others should be arriving by now. I was excited to tell them about my plans."Freya" I heard a voice whisper, I turned but I didn't see anyone. The door opened and Darren and Ralia had stepped in."I hope we aren't late." She sai
ACE POVI went away with mother, to be honest, I did not want to talk to her. If this was another conversation that would end in an argument, I will definitely leave right now."What is the matter, mother?" I asked her."You have not talked to me for so long and that is the question you ask me, not even a proper greeting?" She said."Good evening, mother. Are you happy now?" I asked."I am not happy, Ace." She said sadly"I am not happy because our relationship is strained and it is because of me." She said. I looked away and sighed."I am sorry that I said those things. It was completely wrong of me." She said."I'm happy that you saw it was wrong mother." I said "I promise you that from now on, I will learn to respect your wife and I will try hard to get to know her. Because I don't want to lose what we have." She said. I turned to her and held her shoulder."Do it because you want to and not because of me. Freya is amazing, mother. All you have to do is open your heart to her." I
FREYA POVAfter my conversation with Ace. We decided to talk to the Council, we needed to give them good reasons why we should be allowed to cross the boundary. I'm sure they would see reason. I have a feeling that my visions would help us or at least some of my visions.I still have to figure out how to get rid of the evil version of me that I keep seeing. She scares me. I keep remembering what the sage said about fears and doubt. I do not know how to go about it but I really hope I don't see her again for a while. I do not want to be disoriented because of her but something tells me that this thought is too good to be true.Ace stepped inside the room, his face looked calm, I'm hoping that it means that the council has agreed to hear us out."What did they say?" I asked. He sat down next to me, his eyes boring into mine."They have agreed to grant us a meeting." He said and a smile made it's way to my face."That is great news, when shall we meet them." I said."Now." He said and I
FREYA POVI woke up the next morning. Ace was not next to me and I wondered where he had gone. I stood up to look for him. We're in a foreign land. It's not safe to wander around without each other. I stepped out of the room and I went downstairs. Talia was still behind the counter wearing a dress that leaves nothing to imagination. It's not like I'm judging her because I'm definitely not. It's just that I've never seen people dress like that before in the pack. So I do not know how to react to it. She turned to look at me and when she saw me, she gave a little smirk and turned away.I went down the stairs to talk to her, maybe she saw Ace leaving."Goodmorning." I said to her and she didn't respond. That was quite rude."I said goodmoring." I repeated. She turned to look at me, her face looking distasteful."I heard you. What do you want?" She said. "You could have responded at least." I whispered. I knew she heard me because she clenched her fists but she didn't say anything to
