FREYA POV
The pack warriors, all led the servants and little pups to safety while the leaders of the packs were taken to the upper chambers. I was less worried about myself. Ace was in danger. The attackers had wolfsbane according to what I heard. I just wanted to see him and make sure he was safe but that wasn't possible. Mother hugged me as we both sobbed in fear together.
"I hope your brother will be safe," she said as I hugged her tighter.
THIRD POV
The Pack warriors managed to fend off the attackers, it was revealed that the attackers were Rogues. The damage done was much. Some warriors were taken down because of the wolfsbane and some servants were killed before they could make it to safety.
Injured warriors were taken to be treated. The wolfsbane made it harder for them to heal fast. Ace lay on his bed, sweating and immobile as his mother lay next to him. He got most of the damage since it went straight through his abdomen, thus affecting him more. The sage entered the room to look at him. He turned to Isis .
"Please, do what you can to save him. I can't lose another son," She said crying. Ralia placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Only the blood of his mate can save him," he said.
"That's good; she's right here." She said pushing Ralia forward.
"Not her." The sage spoke making Isis and Darren look up in shock.
"What do you mean by that?" Isis said.
"The moon goddess seemed to have changed her mind. Ralia is not to be his mate anymore. The Alpha has rejected her emotionally without putting it verbally and two mates who don't have a mutual connection cannot lead a pack," he said.
"Then who is to be his mate?" Isis said
"An Omega, in your servant chambers. The turned human," he revealed. Isis's face went pale.
"The moon goddess has to be playing tricks on us. She wasn't even born a full blooded wolf," she said.
"Do not question the moon goddess, Isis. This is her verdict. The girl must become Luna and nobody else." He said. Ralia looked devastated but tried to put up a front as she left the room. Isis stood up and looked at Darren.
"Bring the girl here," she ordered.
FREYA POV
I followed Darren as he led me to the upper chambers. I still did not know why I was needed there. Darren just took me and said the Luna requested for me. We entered Ace's room. He looked pale and my heart broke just looking at him.
I wanted to reach out to him, comfort him, tell him I was here now but I held myself. The sage was also here. He looked at me with a weird expression on his face. The Luna looked less than pleased to see me and Ralia looked sad, almost disheartened.
"Come here, child." The sage said as I walked closer to him.
"You are here because it has been revealed by the moon goddess that you are to be the Alpha's mate" he said. I stepped back, disbelief written all over my face. I stumbled and Darren caught me. It was impossible.
"What about Ralia?" I said, still struggling with the information.
"The moon goddess has changed her mind. Your blood is the only thing that can save him from his state. As soon as it is done. The two of you will be married and you will become his Luna and that of the moon pack. You must be strong and courageous like a Luna should be.
"But I can hardly turn into a full wolf. I am but a servant of the pack," I said. The sage smiled.
"The best things always come at the right moments. For now, saving the Alpha is most important. Come, child." He was right all that mattered now was Ace. I can worry about other things later. I stepped closer to him and he drew a knife. He opened Ace's wounds and my blood dropped on his body.
His wounds healed instantly. He was still asleep though.
"We must leave the room. These moments are crucial. When he wakes up, he might become a bit brazen. His mate should be here till he wakes." At that, everyone left. But not before the Luna gave me a displeased look.
It was dawn and Ace hadn't woken up yet. I was lying down next to him, eyes closed to take a little rest when
I noticed air on my face. I looked up only to see Ace looking at me, eyes red and feral. His facial expression scared me.
"Ace, it's me." I said touching his face. His eyes closed, his nose inhaling my scent like a hungry beast.
"I'm here now" I said.
"Freya" he breathed. "I was confused but now I know its you. Its always been you." He said, face going to my neck and sharp teeth grazing it.
"Ace," I whispered. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my neck. He was marking me, making me his. I let out a little sound at it. The pain eased after a while.
Ace looked at me, a little smile on his face. The hungry look never vanished.
"I can't wait for you to be mine fully, my Luna," he said and I blushed at that.
"But for now, there are things I should handle first," he said, standing up.
"Are you strong enough?" I asked.
"Do not worry about me" he said stroking my cheek. We stepped out together. The Luna looked relieved as she saw him. She still looked at me with displeasure but masked it so Ace wouldn't notice.
"I'm happy you're awake, son," she said.
"I am well mother, but we have bigger problems. We need to find out who attacked the packs and we have to put an end to them. No one messes with my pack. No one!"
FREYA POV It was today, the day Ace and I were to become one. Bound to each other! The day of our nuptials.The past two days were busy for the whole pack, between making efforts to find out how to get the rogue werewolves responsible for the attack and preparations for the wedding. Things have been hectic. But today the pack decided to put the former under the rug in the mean time and concentrate on the latter."You look beautiful," I heard my mother say behind me. I looked at my white gown and I brushed my hand on the dress."Thank you, mother" I said smiling a little at her."Are you okay, dear? Aren't you excited?""I am. It's just that I fear that Isis hasn't accepted me yet," I say solemnly. Mother came closer and touched my cheek. "My dear, do not worry about that. Someday, she'll come to terms with the changes. You are going to be the next Luna of this pack. All you have to do is to be smart and courageous, show her that you can take on the role and most of all, do not l
FREYA POV"Ask your husband why his brother Kye was truly exciled" I sat at the bedside mirror, Isabelle combing my hair while I thought about what Ralia told me tonight. What did she mean? Why would she tell me that? What do I need to know? Was his excile connected to me somehow? All these questions kept swirling in my head."Mistress?" I heard Isabelle call out to me. I instantly came out of my trance and looked up at her."Are you OK? Your mind seems to be lost. I was just worried. I know its not my place to ask." She said bowing her head in a shy manner."Isabelle, you can call me Freya, no need for formalities and thank you for asking. I'm okay though so you don't have to worry about me." I said smiling at her and touching her hand. Isabelle helps me to wear my silk robe. It was quite short and transparent. I blushed when I looked at it."Your mother picked it out, she said she wanted you to look alluring for tonight." Isabelle said. A cheeky smile on her face. I knew what sh
ACE POV10 years ago I've always looked up to my big brother, always wanted to be like him. Strong, confident, brave and so much more. My brother always fascinated me. Since I was young he was always there for me, always defending me, always guiding me. He was kind to people around him, I always admired that. I liked it. Until things started changing when we got older. I was 12 at the time and he was 17. It was already finalized that he would be the next Alpha after my father. Kye started getting consumed by all the power that he was granted. He started taking advantage of all the liberties, started breaking the rules as he saw it fit. He started becoming reckless, I would attribute some of it to his bestfriend Micheal. Kye was dangerous by himself but when Micheal was in the picture he was terror.Kye and Micheal would lay with pack maids as they saw fit, disrespect and treat people like they were less than. I thought when he would finally get a mate that all the sleeping around
ACE POV "How Is the training coming along?" I asked Devon."Everything is going well, we started planning our new defences last night as soon as Darren sent your orders. The warriors are in shape to start training today." He said"That's good" I replied. I decided to see how the training was going this morning. I couldn't stop thinking about last night with Freya and her questions. I wanted to figure out what made her want to know about Kye so much. Did someone tell her something? "It's been a long time since we've trained together Ace, would you like to practice with me?" Devon said with a smile on his face."I actually came here to do that as well. I wouldn't want to get rusty. Especially now." I said"Then you wouldn't mind if we had a plus one" As soon as he said that he looked behind him and called out to someone."Yuri, the Alpha deems it fit to train with us today. Come join us" he shouted. I haven't talked to Yuri since the fair. I wonder what he feels about the whole situa
FREYA POV The next day was busy. Today was the full moon hunt and everyone was preparing for it. The Pack maids were all cleaning the sheds, the pack warriors were preparing themselves to hunt and among them was Ace. He and Devon would be leading the hunt today. As the Alpha it was his responsibility. Before we were married, I would usually watch him train when cleaning the shed with the other maids, it was improper of me because he was with Ralia and I felt foolish doing that. But now we're together and nothing was stopping me from looking at him all I wanted. I walked towards the window to look at him and there he was, shirtless and handsome as ever. As if on instinct he rose up his head and he saw me staring at him. He smirked a little and I smiled back leaving the window and sitting down on the bed once more. It was days like these that I felt disheartened, because I couldn't shift into a werewolf, I would usually spend my time with the children while we heard sounds of roar
FREYA POVIt's been two weeks since Ace had been attacked. He was already healing from his bruises. Since that day I've been giving him my blood to hasten the healing process. Since these two weeks Kye hasn't struck again, and I've been undergoing more training with Yuri. I've been improving in my fighting. We've been training endlessly from morning till night. I didn't mind. I just wanted to be stronger. I wanted to defeat Kye badly, I wanted him to suffer. I knew the reward for all the pain I was going through would be sweet. Yuri decided that is was time for me to wield a weapon. Today I would be choosing one for myself."This is where we keep all our weapons" he said leading me to the shed containing all the pack weapons. They were many to choose from. But I wanted one that spoke to me."You can choose which ever one you want. Which one makes you feel comfortable." He said. I went close to the weapons, touching each and every one of them with my hands, feeling them. Until I foun
FREYA POV"I'll leave you here Freya." Yuri said behind me. I turned to look at him and nodded my head. "I'll be fine Yuri. Thank you for coming with me this far." I said. I was about to walk further when Yuri held my hand. I turned to look at him, he looked concerned."Take care of yourself Freya, remember all that I taught you." I knew this was his way of saying he was worried about me and I appreciated it."You trained me well Yuri, I'll be fine." I said touching his hand firmly but also gently. "Tell Ace to take care of himself and that I love him. I'll be here in three days with information. If I don't have any, I'll hang a blue clothe showing that I'm safe. If I don't come at all." I said pausing"Let's not assume the worst. I believe in you Freya." Yuri said and I felt more confident. Yuri left and I continued my journey. I needed to make this look real, once I reached close to the rogue territory. I smeared dirt unto my self and I tore my clothes a bit. I wanted it to loo
ACE POVI'm worried about her.I woke up this morning with recurring dreams of her in danger. I couldn't wait for tomorrow to come so I could hear that she was safe. I trusted her to be safe. I just had to. When she came to me with this plan. I admit I was both scared for her and proud of her at the same time. Freya's bravery astonished me. She had come a long way from who she was before. It's natural for me to worry this much, she's my wife and I love her more than anything but she asked me to trust her and so I would.I heard the door open and I saw Darren. I signalled for him that he could enter. "Have you heard from Yuri?" I asked"He returned yesterday night. She has arrived at her destination." Darren said. I breathed a sigh of relief. At least this would make me worry less."Don't worry Ace, your Luna is a strong one. She'll be fine." He said putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. I hope so, I really hope so. Or else I would die because I cannot imagine living in a world w
