Attempted Assassination

***Freya's POV**

“You should all leave this instant!”

Immediately, the maids bowed their heads and exited the room quickly.

I slowly turned around to face him.

“What are you doing here?”

“Freya, you shouldn't be wearing this,” he quickly rummaged through the closet I never knew existed, searching for something I had no idea about. Just then, he took out a blanket and rushed over to me, trying to cover me with it.

“What do you think you're doing, Tyler?”

He froze and took his gaze up at me.

“I can't let you do this, Freya. I can't even imagine you in his arms.”

“So, you know exactly what will happen to me. Though, why would you care what I do with your brother?”

“Because I…” He trailed off without saying a word.

I simply pushed the covers away from me and headed to the door.

Before heading out, I turned around only to see Tyler looking so terribly worried.

“I'm definitely not going to let him win, that's one thing I've promised myself,” with that said, I walked out of the room and headed to the Alpha's bedroom as directed by the maid who led the way. As soon as I got to the door, I took a deep breath. Whatever happens, I can't let him win.

The maid placed a knock on the door first, then she turned the door knob and gestured for me to go in.

With my head held high, I walked into the room.

What I expected to see was him laying on his bed and waiting to devour me, but to my surprise, he rather sat on a mini office desk close to the window. His room was huge enough to accommodate an office.

As soon as the door was closed behind me, I was greeted with silence. I stood in the center of the room, watching him without saying a word.

After waiting for a minute and noticed he wasn't prepared to raise his gaze away from his computer, I cleared my throat and announced my presence, “I'm here.”

“I know,” he said, still not looking at me.

What is this all about? Did he intend to keep me waiting, or was this part of the process?

After standing for more than 30 minutes, I began to feel my legs gradually going numb.

Not only that, I was feeling cold since the dress I was putting on was transparent.

“Are you doing this on purpose, or did you forget you asked me here?”

He slowly raised his gaze away from the computer and looked in my direction for the first time. His gaze fell on my face and slowly lowered my body. No doubt he was checking me out.

The fucking pervert!

I noticed he clenched and unclenched his jaw at the same time.

He breathed a long, deep sigh and stood up from his chair. My heart skipped when I noticed he was coming my way.

“You must really want to satisfy me, huh?”

What the fuck! Satisfy him? He's got to be joking. If only he knew what I have in mind for him.

He stood in front of me to access me properly, and I took the chance to play my role. I smiled at him, and this seemed to make him crease his brow with a confused expression.

“Why are you smiling?”

“You know, I thought about everything last night, and I realized that it was better for me to start carrying out my duties since there's no way for me to escape.”

“Is that so? Then I must say that I'm greatly impressed by your decision. I know for a fact that you're indeed a smart one and will not take a foolish decision like running away.”

“I'm glad you saw through me, and I'm not surprised you did since we are mate's after all,” I said as I took my hands up to his face.

“Right! We are mates and hence it shouldn't be difficult for us to get into action.”

“You're right,” I stated as I gently took my hands to his lips while staring deep in his eyes. Too bad, I can't believe such a handsome man could be this cruel. While looking into my eyes, he took my finger which I caressed his lips with into his mouth and sucked on my fingers.

I shut my eyes, trying to hold back the strange feelings I had. Just then, he stopped.

“Open your eyes and tell me how you intend to please me, Freya.”

Hearing his voice immediately snapped me off from whatever feelings I was having.

He may look as if he's someone who can't hurt a fly, but I know too well what someone like him would do to me. A sex slave is the lowest position. I can't fall so drastically. I'll never be able to bear it.

I focused my gaze on him and put up a fake smile as usual.

“Well, Alpha, I can't tell you how I'm going to please you, but I can show you exactly how I can do that if you don't mind.”

“Be my guest. I'm curious to know how you'll make that possible.”

I leaned in closer to him and raised myself up on my toes to his lips, since he was way taller than I am. As soon as I was about to kiss him, I shut my eyes.

This was the first time I was kissing a man, willingly. I can't believe I'm doing this with no one else but my enemy.

As soon as my lips touched his, he suddenly took my lips in his in a not so gentle kiss.

He was just as tough as his personality. I struggled to get my composure, but his rough kissing technique was far too tough for my liking.

This was the perfect time to carry out what I had in mind. I cannot give up now.

While he was so invested in the kiss, I slowly raised my leg up, I reached for the corner of my lingerie and took out the dagger. But just as I was about to target his neck, he suddenly pulled away from the kiss and grabbed a hold of the hand which had a knife. He grabbed me so tightly that my hand became numb and the dagger I was holding fell to the ground.

I instantly looked up at him in a shocked gasp.

“What? Are you wondering how I got to find out? No, that's not the right question. Did you really think you could get rid of me with a weak dagger?” He thundered at the top of his voice and pushed me away from him which made me fall to the ground harshly.

“You sick bitch, I'll make you pay!”
