Freya's Pov I immediately made my way out of my room and sneaked into the field, then managed to break through the barred net that was placed there. I was finally out of the pack surroundings; the big house which was erected to house us all.It has been a really nice place to stay, and I have had my first very nice memories in a long while, right here.With one last glance over my shoulder, looking at the pack surroundings I had really loved staying in, I slipped out into the night, my heart pounding with excitement and a touch of fear. I was off to start something new. To make a life for myself, and not to even make Xaden feel like he had a responsibility which I would never let him have.I made my way to the woods straight, so if anyone happened to notice I was gone, they wouldn't even have an inkling as to where I went. I fled into the darkness of the woods, my senses heightened. My heart raced with every crack of a twig or rustle of leaves. I just wanted to get as far away from
Chapter 11Freya's Pov I felt frozen, my heart racing, as he approached the table. His piercing blue eye scanned the room, while the other was covered by sleek, and beautiful dark hair, and when his gaze locked onto mine, I felt a shiver run down my spine.His gaze held me captive, and I couldn't look away. He was imposing, with broad shoulders and chiseled features. His dark hair was perfectly styled, and his sharp jawline seemed carved from granite.Majestically, he took his seat at the head of the table, and the silence had never felt so overbearing.I felt like a small prey, trapped in the presence of a predator. His electric eyes never left mine, and I sensed a power emanating from him, a power that made me feel tiny and insignificant.After what felt like an eternity, he spoke, his deep voice commanding attention. "So, you're the one I saved from the woods." I swallowed, and nodded, unable to respond. My words were caught in my throat, from his soul-boring gaze, which made me
Chapter 12Freya's Pov When it was late in the afternoon, I heard footsteps approaching, and I jumped to my feet, looking around for any sort of weapon I could use to help myself. Foolishly picking the bedside lamp, I raised it and crept to the door. If I cracked it hard enough, then I could knock him out, and run, away from his stupid mansion, and his stupid demands. Unfortunately, when the door opened, I had to stop myself. It was a maid, and behind her was Drake, standing guard, looking at me menacingly. I dropped the lamp, and retreated, keeping my eyes on Drake.She came in with lunch, preparing it for me, and I glanced at Drake.“What's Atrox?” I asked her out of curiosity since the Alpha had threatened to throw me into whatever Atrox was if I failed to do his bidding.“Atrox? Why do you want to know?” She asked, spooning loads of sugar into my oats. I paused, and watched her arrange strawberries on top of it. “Because your Alpha promised to throw me into it if I fail to do
Freya's Pov I walked further, and it seemed like I was already in a tunnel, Although, I had no idea of where I was heading to, but with what they say; “There is light at the end of a tunnel.” Hopefully, that the light would lead me to a better place than here.I had had it in mind to run far from here, and probably go somewhere really far to start a new life, and do anything I want, but since I had just discovered that someone was after Logan’s life which could also affect Xaden, I had to at least, warn him about it.This particular Alpha, seemed to be really dangerous, but if Logan was very well prepared, there was a high chance he would be able to defeat them, whenever they came, especially if it was going to be a war, they would rage on them, without letting them know of it.I could see rays of light, which meant I was close to the end of the tunnel, and that made me feel excited and happy.On getting closer to the end of the tunnel, my heart became heavy as my eyes beheld what I
Freya's Pov The creature on it was hideous. Why would anyone keep paintings of hideous things, and take extra care to clean them. Of course, the Alpha. He seemed brutal enough. It simply meant there was another exit. A place he came from daily to clean the place. The cryogen’s eyes were fiery green embers with a black stroke within them. Instead of a nose, it had two holes, and the jaws of a crocodile, stretching backwards as they hung open. It's teeth were black, and looked like jagged ice, their tips sharp and deadly like needles. The teeth were too much for its mouth and its tongue had more of them on it. The center of its head was creased like an ‘M’ making it look like a snake up to the nose. The body was a shining black, and the tail with blades shooting up the length of it. Its talons were long and sharp, like black knives. Just staring at it gave me goosebumps. Already, my candle was failing. I had to find my way before it failed me.I turned, and stopped, my candle fal
Freya's Pov Fear rippled through me like the waves on the sea, and I began to run in the dark, adrenaline rushing through me, and filling my brain with danger signs. My heart seemed to beat in my throat, wanting to burst out, and finally, I stumbled.“Ah!” I screamed from the pain and the fear that I would suddenly feel something heavy and menacing land on my back. I gasped and struggled to get to my feet, and that's when I realized I had stumbled on the staircase. With relief mingled with terror, I began to climb, using my hands and legs. I got to the very top, and pushed… “Ah…” I cried as the floorboard came open, revealing light. Immediately, I hoisted myself onto it, and tumbled into the room, hurriedly sealing the floorboard shut. Why wasn't there some kind of lock to it? What if the creature came bounding up the stairs in search of me, and leaped against the floorboard?What would happen when I was locked in the room when it came?A new wave of dread filled me up. If the C
Freya's Pov “I… I cannot just kill someone. You have to understand. This man has been good to me, and…”“Take her away. Now.” He turned from me, walking away, with his hands behind him“Wait, wait! You have to…” Before I could complete my words, Drake's thick hands grabbed me by the elbow, and I stumbled. He pushed me through the door, and jerked his head towards the left. Men came out of the shadows, and I jumped. I hadn't noticed them at all when they were taking me to the Alpha's rooms.The men all flanked around us, and I thrashed about like a mad bull.“I cannot just kill a man. I do not even know how to kill. This… this is ridiculous!” I shouted, but they seemed to be blockheads. They paid no heed to me, and instead, marched me out. They practically lifted me up when I couldn't speed down the stairs as fast as they could, and they dragged me when we got to the large, overly bright foyer. Maids all around, doing all sorts of chores, saw me, and began to whisper, throwing piti
Freya's Pov My hands and legs flailed helplessly, as the water joined hands with the force of gravity to pull me down. Water got into my nose, mouth, and ears, and it was a very horrible feeling as I plummeted downwards, unable to even scream, unable to cough, unable to choke, just getting rained down by the powerful water. My hands fought to grab anything I could find, just anything as my heart seemed to want to tear right out of my chest. But all that happened was my hands sailing right through the water, unable to grab anything. The fear suddenly seemed like a real creature threatening to devour me alive. It was a force on its own, and it felt like I would die of the fear before the rocks got to me.Finally, I crashed into the dark water, plunging deep with the speed at which I had been falling.I felt my whole body freeze. It was damn cold! The feeling left my fingers and toes, and they felt numb, so numb that I couldn't begin to differentiate my index from my middle finger. T
Freya’s PovIt was nightfall already and It had been an hour since I woke up, but I wanted to be certain that I was mentally prepared for what Logan had to say. A knock came on my door and I looked towards that direction, then got down from my bed and walked up to the door.“Who is it?” I asked calmly.“It’s Derek. Logan asked that you should see him at the field.” He informed me.“Alright, thanks.” I said, and turned to my bed.“Uhm… I kind of want to see you briefly; if you don’t mind opening the door.That voice was a little familiar, and yes, my curiosity to remember who it was, and to know what he had to say, got the best of me.I turned the key and then opened the door only to see that same man who had been torturing Xaden like he hated him from his mother’s womb.“It’s you.” I said as a part of me was still behind the door. “Yeah. I just wanted to apologize for being too overwhelmed by the stress I went through, without thinking about what you could have gone through personall
Freya’s PovSeeing him look at me with no expression on his face, I felt everything inside of me go tense and frozen. I couldn’t just tell what was going on in his head and what he could do to me if he got too mad.“You, Freya. Where. Have. You. Been?” He asked, saying the words one after the other.My fingers were beginning to tremble, but I took my hands to the back to ensure that he wouldn’t see it. If he saw my fingers trembling, then any word I was going to cook up for him, there was a high chance that he wouldn’t believe it or take it serious.But I wasn’t going to tell him of my journey to the other realm as I had no time to explain what could bring me more stress or trouble. With the kind of person that he is, he might want me to take him there to prove it or might even have ridiculous thoughts like leading the people there and calling it home.“Well, I’ve been in hell.” I responded with a straight face as well.And his eyebrows creased in confusion.“Hell? How?”“A few days a
Before Marie could get so close to her, she turned off the biggest switch in there and Marie halted abruptly and powered down.“Yes! Yes! We did it! We did it!” Freya rejoiced happily with her wolf, feeling on top of the world.Freya was so happy that she had finally accomplished the task which felt impossible before and just couldn't wait back to the woman and inform her that she has finally granted her desires.“Now, how do we get back?” Her wolf asked, and that brought Freya to the next reality.But fortunately for them, a portal opened up.“I think that's our ride back to the one who gave us the task.” Freya said with a smile.Then she shut the door that held all power switch and moved the robot somewhere a little far from the door, and destroyed it. After destroying it, she dashed towards the portal and walked into it with peace filling her heart.As she entered, she found herself back to the garden where the woman was reading.“Ma’am! I'm back.” Freya announced to her.The woman
Freya looked back at Marie who was smiling wickedly.“Why would you care which way I choose to die, anyway? I'll rather not die in your hands.” Freya voiced out to her, but Marie frowned.“Get the hell away from there right now or I won't make your death an easier one.” Marie threatened in anger.Freya felt that for Marie to be so keen on not allowing her so close to the maze only meant that there was something important in there and she feels that there is a chance she might find it.“You are not the one to choose how I'll die.” Freya said in between her teeth and stepped in, then closed the door shut.Knowing that Marie might be able to find her easily in the maze, she started searching around if she would probably see a main power switch.“We must have been the most stressful guest she has ever had.” Her wolf uttered.“I bet. But this is going to be the end of her because she can't keep living around here and luring innocent people into the maze or getting them killed to her amusem
Back at the redemption pack, some people who knew Freya were a little worried about her while some others just felt like she had left the pack to be on her own.Logan and Xaden were on that bridge. But the only difference was that Logan felt it was Xaden who helped her escape, but won't speak.“I said tell me where she is right now!” Logan voiced out in anger as he drove a punch to Xaden’s left cheek.Xaden's head turned to the other direction as a result of the punch and blood trickled from the left corner of his lips, down to his chin and dropped just once to the ground. He was bound to a wall in the dungeon prison and could in no way escape the wicked grasp of the iron bars.“I keep telling you; I have nothing to do with this. Don't you think I would have fled with her if I actually helped her escape?” “No, man. We caught you looking around like a suspect, so you were probably about to make your own way out, but you were unfortunate as you should be.”“Come on, Logan. I was also l
Freya felt horrified and her heart was beating really fast as she felt that she had finally fallen into Marie’s trap.“No, no.” Freya said as she shook her head slowly.“Is there anything wrong?” Marie asked as she moved closer to her, then she poured her a glass of water. “Have this.” Marie offered her kindly.But Freya looked at her awkwardly especially as she noticed that she was no longer feeling pain in her stomach.“What just happened?” Freya asked, but her eyes were roaming around the floor as she was trying to understand what truly happened.“How? Did something wrong happen?” Marie asked Freya again.But Freya who had realized that she wasn't poisoned, but probably because she felt she could, a little pain from her stomach caused her to overreact.“No, never mind. The food is delicious.” Freya said and smiled.Since the food was without poison, she immediately gobbled it up due to how delicious it was and she kept nodding her head in approval of it's delicacy while eating. Mar
Freya got down from the bed, feeling frustrated and so much wanted to blame her wolf, but she realized that it wasn't her fault either. It was expected of her to rest since they still had a few hours until midnight, and who knew if Marie spent the whole night watching TV.Just then, a knock came on her door and she became very cautious and at alert.“Who… who is it?” Freya inquired, looking scared.“It's me, . Kindly open the door, please.” Marie urged and Freya felt more terrified.She wasn't certain if Marie had decided to choose today to kill her or not or what could even behold of her at the door.“Uhm… give me a minute.” Freya said and began to pace around, trying to buy herself time.She went ahead to the window and opened it to see if it was going to be possible for her to jump down and run far for now, but it was too high.Marie knocked again and Freya's heart almost jumped out of her mouth.“I think we have no choice than to open the door or she might get upset and I'm not su
Freya immediately got up on her feet and hurried close to the door, then opened the door slowly. It was a scary thing to do, but she still needed to find out what was going on. But as she stepped out of the room, the gunshot stopped and everywhere seemed quiet.Freya carefully walked down the stairs, looking around so as not to be shot by someone when she least expected it. As she got to the bottom of the stairs, she wandered around the living room and didn't see any sign of gunshots all over the place.“Marie?” Freya called out to her as she started walking towards the same hallway which had different rooms.“Why is that the first place you always wander of to, Freya?” Marie questioned all of a sudden from Freya's back.Freya turned to look at her sharply. She wanted to respond to her, but she knew somehow, she still had to act like she was in control sometimes.“That isn't the right question to ask, Marie. I heard gunshots and had to come looking for you, but to my surprise, there i
Freya stepped out of the bathroom after flushing even though she didn't use it, then she went out to the living room and sat before the food.“I would have served you in the dining room, but I want you to enjoy watching TV while eating this.” Marie said to her and Freya feigned a smile.“Oh, thanks a lot. That's a perfect decision.” Freya commended her and Marie smiled.“You're welcome.” She said and moved away.Freya looked at the door closely and took in a deep breath. She wasn't so sure if the food was okay and free of poison. Somehow, she has not been feeling hungry ever since she came to this realm, and maybe it's because it's a different realm. But thank goodness that she could do without food, so she felt that the best would be to throw it away regardless of how tempting it looked.“How do you think I can throw this away without her finding out?” Freya asked her wolf.“The best and safest way would be to dig up the ground to an extent and pour the food in there. That's going t
