*FREYA*It's my first day back in the pack and let's just say that I'm not excited to see anyone anymore because they all didn't care about me when their alpha sold me to the dark tide.They might be smiling at me but deep down I know that they all spite me and they'll just pretend to like me.I was making myself a bowl of cereal when someone grabbed it and threw it to the ground . I watched the bowl break into a few pieces and all the cereal was on the floor.I sighed deeply and looked up meeting the person's face and it was none other than Velvet.The stupid bitch was still holding a grudge after I stole her man a few days before her mating ceremony.I cocked a brow at her and crossed my arms over my chest."Hey Velvet I missed you too" I taunted, forcing a smile.She scoffed in annoyance."Everything was going well until you showed up and ruined things for me why didn't you just fucking die when the dark tide took you in? If I'd known that you'd survive I would have made sure that
*FREYA*A WEEK LATERI didn't know what Tate was waiting for. I've been stuck here for a week and he hasn't shown any sign of rescuing me; perhaps he gave up on me already.I groaned deeply and laid on the bed staring at the ceiling.Moreover Lain and I haven't spoken since that incident and things are better off this way. I didn't want him to pretend like there was still a chance for us to be together when it was actually non-existent.The door opened and Aniko walked in holding a tray of my food. I've been telling her to stop doing this but she never listens to me.She placed the tray on the bed and I sat upright staring at the mouth watering pancakes in front of me."Look if this is how you want to win back my trust this isn't going to work but I'll definitely eat these pancakes because I don't want them to go to waste."A small smile curved her lips.She's been trying really hard to win back my trust but I'll still keep my doubts because I don't trust anyone in this pack yet.She
*LAIN*"What the actual fuck Freya?"She looked away refusing to meet my gaze and I cupped both of her cheeks and made her look into my eyes.It was clear that things between us weren't settled and we had to figure out where our relationship was actually standing."It was a moment of weakness just because we kissed doesn't mean that we have chemistry or any sort of relationship."I stared at her in disbelief."Seriously? You're just going to pretend like you didn't feel a single thing?" She rolled her eyes at me."I have a mate and his name is Tate and when he finds out what happened between us he's going to be pissed off."I scoffed in annoyance."Come on, stop denying it already, there's nothing going on between you and the vampire, you're just playing this game to get back at me."I sighed deeply trying to reason with her."I won't end his life because he took you in when you had no one and I'll get on my knees to thank him if that's what he wants but you belong to me Freya."She
*FREYA*His gaze meets mine and I feel like Tate can see through my lies and that makes me very nervous.I don't want to hurt him, he's the only person that has actually been there throughout the trouble I've been in.He cupped one of my cheeks staring into my eyes."You look nervous, what is it Freya?"I swallowed hard and looked away, refusing to meet his gaze."Tell me the truth, did Lain do something to you?" He asked curiously and I quickly shook my head negatively.I had to think of an excuse if Lain gets involved. Things will end badly between them and I'll be the one responsible.I sighed deeply and wrapped my arms around him burying my face in the crook of his neck inhaling his scent."I've never seen this sensitive side of you....Tate and I just can't believe what I'm seeing or hearing. It's like I'm on a different planet."He chuckled softly, kissing my hair."I know Freya...and I'm sorry it has taken me this long to admit my feelings for you... I've wanted you since the ni
*LAIN*After the meeting was over, I went back to my study and poured myself a drink. If I don't do something to improve the pack they might replace me and I can't let that happen because this is my father's pack.No amount of money would ever compensate the women who lost their mates during the attack and I couldn't help but feel guilty for depriving children of their fathers.That's how Aniko lost her mate back in my father's era and she has never been the same since that day.The poor woman is always locked in her room or either keeping herself busy in the kitchen.There was a knock on the door."Come in."The door opened and Velvet walked and she looked out of it.Was she fucking drunk right now?I groaned deeply.The elders of the pack have already made my day harder than it is and I didn't need Velvet to put the finishing touches.I placed my glass on the table pointing towards the door she came in from."Get out."She pouted her lips."Come on alpha Lain are you really going t
*FREYA*When I finally open my eyes I feel like I've been hit by a truck. My body feels numb and I cannot fucking move a muscle and I don't know why.I wince in pain when I detect the pain between my legs.What the hell?Memories of the dark tide start flooding in and I close my ears blocking out the man's nasty voice.He can't hurt me anymore and I made sure of it whatever I'm feeling right now is just fear and nothing more.I wear my robe and head to the bathroom to take a shower and after a cold shower I feel much better.I'm all dressed up and I head downstairs to have some breakfast and somewhat the pack house is really silent which is really strange because kids are always running around this place making so much noise.I'm kinda used to it now and maybe that's the reason I don't want to go back.I find Aniko in the kitchen and her face is crimson red when I find her talking to a guy. A smirk curved my lips.The man sees me and excuses himself. He looks a little shy and once he
*EMBER POV*When I open my eyes I'm not surprised to find myself tied to a chair against my will. My hands are bound behind my back so that I can't use my powers on them.The people who kidnapped me this time around are smart. I'll give them a standing ovation for that.The room is filled with darkness and on top of that it smells horrible, almost making me gag.The door opens and a figure walks in and I can't make out their face due to the lack of light in this room."Ah you're finally awake" a woman's voice mutters and I immediately recognize the voice. It belongs to the woman who tricked me into coming here in the first place.I let out a growl glaring at her."You think these chains will keep me forever? Then you're more naive than I thought lady."She chuckled wickedly."Oh no did I forget to introduce myself? Well many people here call me the mistress of darkness since it's kind of my thing but don't worry my dear I believe that we'll get along very nicely" she taunts.She takes
*FREYA*When I finally slip back into my body Ember is exhausted and weak and it's because these people are at it extracting my blood like some experimental guinea pig.The mistress of darkness walks in with a huge injection and when our eyes locked she smirks at me."Time for your medicine little one" she murmurs, stabbing the injection into my neck making me wince in pain.I want to cuss at her so badly and today I don't have the strength to rain all types of insults on her."Please..." I whispered tiredly.She looked up meeting my gaze."Please what?" She asked curiously, faking it."You already got gallons of my blood. My body won't be able to take it if you continue...I don't want anything bad to happen to my baby."She looked unconcerned."Don't worry your little bastard will survive. Besides I was once a child so I'm not that evil just trust me baby girl." She took out the injection and transferred the blood to herself.As soon as the blood hit her veins her entire body glowed
