*DREX* "Are you going to fail me again?" Galen asked sternly, making me feel worthless.I closed my eyes and shook my head negatively.I haven't had a drop of water since the day I lost Freya and Lain. Let's just say that I was facing the consequences of my action's.I opened my eyes, wincing in pain whenever he turned on the electric chair I was strapped to.I didn't have any other option, I just had to endure it.Once he was satisfied with his torture he instructed someone to turn off the machine.This is why I wanted to leave the dark tide I was always tired of the torture and uneven justice.They are always good at exploiting people and one day when I finally get out of here I will be the first one to put a bullet in Galen's head.He narrowed his eyes at me and a wicked smirk appeared on his lips."You're thinking about murdering me aren't you?" He taunted me and I remained silent.The cocky motherfucker was always a good mind reader.He chuckled wickedly."That will never happen
*LAIN* "Don't waste your time trying to save Freya because the dark tide already has a spy among your people isn't that ironic?" He taunted me, making me feel angry."Don't make me kill you Drex, I'm only trying to restrain myself because I've our old friendship." He cocked a brow at me."Lain buddy this is not the time for friendships but let me tell you one thing how did you think the Noah kid survived don't you think that it was a coincidence?" He asked curiously.He was right.I've always had my suspicions about how he managed to escape Drex and now I know that he was a spy sent from the dark tide.He chuckled wickedly, snapping out of my thoughts."Have you figured it out yet? Noah helped Freya find out about her true origin thanks to a book and now she must be going crazy out of her mind trying to search for answers from the people who claimed to raise her."So this was their plan all along. The dark tide wanted to lure out Freya alone and I had a bad feeling about this.I did
*LAIN* Drex smirked at me knowing what I was feeling and the mere thought made me feel furious."It's not too late to go back to the dark tide and I'm sure if you just apologize they will welcome you with open arms just bring the girl with you."I glared at him."Her name is Freya Allan and there is no way I'm ever going back to the dark tide."He cocked a brow at me."It would be best if you did so Lain after all Freya must be gone by now she's probably being treated like a vip experiment at headquarters."Anger filled my veins and I tackled Drex to the ground. We both fell to the ground with a thud. I was about to raise my fist to punch him but Axel stopped me because we were running out of time.This is what Drex wanted me to do. He was sent here as a distraction.He narrowed his eyes at me."Hey aren't you going to punch me?" He taunted me and I restrained myself and stood up.The pain in my chest got less intense and I knew that I was on the verge of losing her for good if I did
*FREYA*When I finally opened my eyes I thought that I had crossed over to the other side of the world but I was still alive somewhere in the real world.Where on earth was I? I got up staring at the Cliff that was a few feet away from me. My clothes were half burnt and the memories of how I escaped came to light.FLASHBACKI remember passing out from the trauma but before Noah could get his hands on me Ember was still awake inside and she fought off Noah and my aunt and unleashed our powers on them.Fire balls appeared on both of my hands as Ember glared at them."Freya Allan don't do anything stupid" Noah warned in a low tone but that didn't make Ember back down.Instead she growled at them.Noah was about to remove something that looked like a gun and Ember threw a fireball at him , setting him on fire.He fell to the ground screaming in pain and she turned her attention to my aunt who looked helpless and afraid for her life.She raised her hands in defense as tears rolled down he
*LAIN* I looked Freya in the eyes for the time and the guilt I felt wouldn't let me settle down. It felt like it was consuming me."Can you give me some privacy?" She asked curiously because I didn't make any attempt to leave her room.I shook my head negatively."Look Freya, the only way to break ties between us is to reject the mate bond."She shrugged carelessly."Then let's do it."I sighed deeply."It's not that easy but go take a shower. I'll be here waiting for you because I have something to show you."She stared at me in disbelief."Lain-"I frowned at her cutting her off mid sentence."It's Alpha Lain." She nodded quietly and grabbed a few things from her closet before disappearing into the shower and I heard the water running a few minutes later.I ran my fingers through my hair out of frustration.What the hell was happening to me?Axel started laughing at me."Don't even try to blame me because I didn't dare do anything to influence your decision this time" he muttered
*LAIN*I stepped out of the creek and wore the emergency clothes that I hid around the woods and Freya looked relieved to see me looking decent.She was blushing so hard that she couldn't even look me in the eye. We began walking back home in comfortable silence.I turned around staring into the darkness because it felt like someone was watching us but I couldn't see anyone.I had a feeling that it was the dark tide keeping a close eye on Freya since they failed to have her in their captive.As a safety precaution I grasped Freya's hand and she looked up at me with wide eyes staring at our entwined hands."Alpha Lain, we shouldn't have done that back there because you're engaged and I feel so guilty. Your fiance might not be the nicest person in the world but you two are still getting married."This wasn't a mistake.I took a deep breath following Axel's advice because unlike me he knows a bit more about navigating women's emotions.He was just a helpless romantic.Our eyes locked and
*FREYA*When the power started consuming me I dropped Velvet to the ground and let out a gasp. She looked up at me watching me in disbelief and I swallowed hard."You fucking bitch you almost killed me" she muttered bitterly while glaring at me.Aniko placed her hand on my shoulder and ushered me out of the kitchen and escorted me to my bedroom.Once we were finally alone she looked at me with concern."What happened?" I shrugged carelessly still in shock from what happened in the kitchen."I don't know... I've just never felt so powerful in my entire life and I felt like I could do anything."Our eyes locked and she grasped my hand."What if I killed her?" I whispered softly trying to process a new wave of emotions that had filled my bedroom.I don't think that Lain would ever forgive me.Aniko gave me a small smile."I would have stopped you before things escalated quickly."I smiled at her."Thank you Aniko for being such a good friend to me."She nodded quietly."Don't mention it
*LAIN*I'm in my office doing a little paperwork when Velvet bursts through the doors like a mad woman. I closed my laptop shut staring at her in disbelief because this amount of disrespect was just too much. Maybe it was time to remind her who was the alpha of the pack."What the fuck is wrong with you?" She scoffed in annoyance and placed her hand on her hip pointing an accusing finger at me."You're my problem Alpha Lain. We would have been married by now if you just kept your dick in your pants like a real man but no of course you had to go after some orphan slut you don't even know."I chuckled darkly and stood up taking slow steps towards her.She crossed the line by calling Freya names and Axel wants to rip her head off and this time I'm more than willing to make an exception for him."Say that again in my face" I challenged and she remained silent.I squeezed both of her cheeks painfully bringing her face close to mine until our noses could touch."Velvet... don't make me do
