**Freya's POV***
I froze when this question was asked because I wasn't expecting them to ask me such a question.“What do you think is the reason I'm here? Of course, I'm here to look around. This is my first time coming this way. Don't you think I should explore the pack?”“You have every right to, Your Highness,” another answered.“Good! Now lead the way,” I said, and quickly, one of the men took the lead.As soon as they got into the dungeon, I noticed everywhere was peach black. This made me pause on my tracks. My heart began beating heavily. What's going on? Why's this place so dark?“Your Highness, do you think you can continue or would you like to go back?”I took a quick glance at the guard, giving me an option. Due to how dark the dungeon was, this gave me a scare. But then, if I truly wanted to know about my past, then I have to take this step. No matter how dark or difficult it might be.“Lead the way,” I st**Tyler's POV***I've been locked in the dark dungeon for years now. At first, when I was thrown in, I had never thought that I would be staying here for years. At some point, I begged to be killed, as I preferred to die rather than go through the humiliation I was going through. I preferred death, but I know more than anyone that it's not the way Tristan does his things. He never kills his victims easily. He makes them suffer to their death. I had no idea that my brother would be this ruthless. All I did was safe Freya from him, and he found fault with what I did and decided to lock me up. So many times I had tried to escape it, but none of my attempts yielded results. At the end of the day, I was caught and locked up again. Other cells had one lock, mine had three. And this was because of my attempt to escape. The Elders had pleaded for my sake, but Tristan had threatened to lock them up in the dark dungeon, just like he did to me. For this reason, they stopped pleading for me.
**Freya's POV***“Listen Freya, this is the last place you should ever be. No matter what, this is a wrong place for you to be. This is plaice is your nightmare, how could you come back here of all places!” From the way he spoke, I could tell that he indeed knows me. So I was right after all. My instinct was right when I thought that I must have a link to this Pack. “I'm not here because I wanted to. Like I said, I'm mated to the Lycan king.”“Mated to the Lycan king? How's that possible?”“I don't know.”“Wait a minute, if you are mated to the king, how did you get here?”“The king had gone missing, and Alpha Tristan came to my rescue.”“What? Are you telling me that you were actually saved by Tristan?”“That's precisely what I'm trying to say.”He suddenly shook his head. “No! Freya, I don't know what he told you or how he managed to pretend to have come to your rescue, but you must leave here as soon as possible.”“Leave here? Where?”“Leave the dungeon, go away from the pack ho
**Freya's POV***I became restless, and I felt my whole body go on fire. I can't tell why I was suddenly feeling this way, but all I knew was that my entire body had been set on fire, and I was screaming out loud. Not only that, but I seemed to be tied with chains and in a cell. I could hardly move. “Get me out of here, stop punishing me this way!” I screamed out. Just then, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching. I looked up to see who it was, and to my greatest shock, Alpha Tristan came into view. “Are you ready to be a good girl from now on?” He said with a sinister smile on his face. When I laid eyes on him, I couldn't describe just how afraid I was, seeing him. He was indeed the worst nightmare I had ever had. “Why can't you answer me? Do you want me to torture you all over again, huh!” He snapped. “No, please have mercy on me. Don't torture me anymore, I beg you,” I cried and pleaded until I jolted awake with eyes wide open. I looked at the ceiling, while breathing hea
***Freya's POV***“Miss Freya, this isn't the time to think about saving those around you. It is rather time to save yourself.”“That's what you all think, but do you want to know the truth? There's no escape for me this time, and even if I've got ample of opportunity to escape, I wouldn't do that.”“But that would be suicide.”“You call it suicide, but I call it being brave. I'm not going to escape like some coward and let others clean after my mess. There's no way in hell I'm letting that happen.”“But if you stay here, the Alpha will go back to treating you as a slave and that would mean, all of Tyler's sacrifices have gone to waste.”“Says who? His sacrifice can never go to waste because I wouldn't allow it. You just relax and let me handle the situation at hand.”“Miss Freya, how do you intend to do that?” He asked curiously. “Firstly, I need you to make it possible for me to meet Tyler. Just yesterday we
**Arnold's POV**"“Argh!!” Alpha Tom and his men kept using the silver electric shocker to get rid of my powers. At that state I was in, I wouldn't be able to help myself even if I wanted to. This is more terrible than I had thought. “Alpha, what do we do? We've been trying to weaken him for hours now, but it seems all of our efforts are going down the drain.”“Foolish!” The Alpha snapped at his men. “We cannot give up now. We must weaken him, since we can't kill him. Did you all forget that he's the Lycan king? Did you forget that he's the most formidable in the whole wide world? We can't give up now.”They continued to electrocute me while I screamed my lungs out. When they stopped to take a rest, I took that as an opportunity to speak to them. “Do you really think you can go scot-free with what you're doing?”“Your Majesty, you can't blame us. Alpha Tristan is our leader, and he has more allies than you can ev
**Freya's POV***“Argh!” I woke up in a jolt with a sweaty body and a fast beating heart. I shook my head as tears ran down my cheeks. Finally, I had regained all of my lost memories. I can't believe that I was back here simply because I had lost my memories. If not for the loss of my memories, I would have personally pulled out a warning to Arnold for him to be weary of Tristan. Everything Tyler says was right. Tristan must surely be behind what happened to Arnold and his pack. How did I escape him only to come back to the same pack I had run away from? This was worse than any nightmare I had in the past.Now that all of my memories have come crashing down on me, there's this fear I feel that gives me cold shivers down my spine. All the terrible memories of me being in a cage inside his room made my eyes gather with tears. This was the worst encounter for anyone in my shoes. Now that I remember everything that has happened to me
**Freya's POV***After I had explained all what happened to me to Havana, she stared at me and was at a loss for words. She shook her head and I saw tears pouring down her cheeks. “Miss Freya, you've truly suffered at the hands of the Alpha. But I'm glad for one thing though.”“Huh? What's that, if I may ask?”“It is the fact that your sister, Samona is finally out of the picture. It was as if she were born to be your bane in this life.”“Havana, please don't say this about Samona.”“Miss Freya, you have no reason to speak up for someone as cruel as her. Do you know that 95% of the problems you had with the Alpha is caused by her?”“I know all this, Havana, but then she's dead and there's nothing we can do to her now, you know. She's dead and gone, so let's just leave her be.”“But that's not right. If she were alive, she should have paid for her crimes. But being dead is also good. I should thank whoever
**Tristan's POV***Good! Seeing her this way is magnificent. Now that she has it in her heart that he's dead. She'll stop thinking about him and focus on what's more important. And that is me. “No! No, no, no!”She screamed out, shaking her head in disbelief as tears ran down her cheeks. Well, I expected this much. She was going to cry this way in due time anyway. I gradually pulled her into my arms and patted her back. “Elizabeth, I know how you feel. What happened has happened and there's nothing we can do now. Rather, what we should be doing is thinking about how to forge ahead.”**Freya's POV**This was shocking because all the things he's saying to me, I've never heard him say before. But how can I not worry? He had killed Arnold. The beast! I folded my hands into a fist. All I felt like doing at that moment was to test him into a thousand pieces. I wish I could do that right now. I'll be the happiest person
Arnold's POVI went into the building to start searching for Elizabeth. There were few rogue soldiers around, but I easily slayed them. My mind was all focused on finding my mate first. A few minutes into walking in, I spotted Alan in one of the rooms. “Alpha Arnold…” He mumbled as soon as he saw me. I barely have time to fight anyone right now. I'll deal with him after I find her for sure. Surprisingly, Alan wasn't pleased with the fact that I'm walking away from him. “You cannot leave without a fight. I don't think I'll be able to walk out of this anymore. Let's settle this, you either kill me and go on with your journey or I do so and claim my place as the next Lycan King!" He blurted out. I was so confused but at the same time, it explained why he was siding with Tristan in the first place. “So you decided to side with my enemy just so you could become the next Lycan king. That has to be the dumbest decision you've made.” I said and shook my head in disgust. “Call me stupid o
Tristan's POVI attacked Tyler m, attempting to slay him and he quickly blocked my attack skillfully. He blocked my sword and cut my hand, giving it a small scar. “You gave me a scar. I must say you have honed your sword fighting skills since we last had a duel. But you're forgetting something important, I taught you how to use the sword.” I said and attacked him again.Tyler was quick enough to block me again but this time, I took advantage of my strength and pushed him back till he tripped and fell on his back. He was fast to get up again but I didn't let him regain his composure before I reached him and stabbed him with my sword. The sword fell off Tyler's hand and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain. I pulled the sword from him and heaved a sigh of relief. “You chose the wrong side brother. Maybe if you had decided not to help Arnold, maybe you would have loved enough to see another day.” I said with an evil smile on my face“Sadly, this is the end of the road for you.” I
Arnold's POVWe all halted when a figure slowly emerged from one of the buildings. Standing in front of us all was Tristan. He stood still and was just staring at us in silence. “So, you have finally come to die, Arnold?” Tristan said menacingly. I stared at him, with great urge to just tear him to tiny pieces and feed the parts to wild animals. Tristan's facial expression suddenly changed. He seemed to notice something odd amongst us. “Wayne? What is going on here? You should be in the Blue moon pack.” He said feebly. I finally understood why he suddenly felt perplexed. “I could not keep up with the pace of your cruelty, my lord. You left me no choice.” Wayne replied nonchalantly. “So you decided to betray my trust and side with my enemies. After you served me for so long? I knew your sudden appearance here meant something but I was just too ignorant to accept it.” Tristan said and sighed.Wayne didn't know what to say anymore. He turned to me and shrugged his shoulders. “Trista
Arnold's POVThe soldier left immediately and soon returned with the Alpha of the Blue moon pack. A woman who seemed to be his Luna was with him. He reached us and stopped. “You are the Lycan king…” He said, with his voice vividly shaking in fear. Seeing how scared he was, I was confident he wouldn't refuse to hand the boy over. “Yes, I am. I'm here for my son, Amon. Someone left him here with you, and I want you to hand him over to us immediately.” I commanded. The Alpha was quiet for a while and only stared at me. “You want him? I guess you're going to fight us if we refuse to do that, right? And seeing how few your men are, I'll say you're incapable of winning this fight.” He said menacingly. Stan unsheathed his sword immediately and aimed at his neck. A few of the pack's soldiers also did the same, and we all stood there in silence, waiting for the next person to take the decisive step. “Tell your men to lay down their weapons. You are greater in numbers, but that will absolu
Arnold's POVI walked into the living room and took my seat. “So, how is the preparation going? Are we almost Ready to Match up now?” I asked eagerly. “Oh, we are not ready. We are so not ready.” Wayne said angrily. Tyler winked at him to stop acting up, which he reluctantly obliged to. “I assume he already told you that you'll lead us there. Well, no one else can.” I said to Wayne. Wayne smiled at me faintly and stood up to leave. “I will be in my room, preparing for the journey. When you're all ready to leave, I will join you.” He said and left. I turned to Tyler. “Is there anything left to do here? We should set out soon if there's none. The sooner, the better for us.” I said. “There Should be just a few preparations left before we set out. Oscar, are our men ready?” Tyler asked his Beta. “Yes, my lord, They are all ready. But we did have another few down counts, as more of Alpha Arnold's men were also infected. We have just about fifty percent left of their initial numbers.”
Tyler's POVMy jaw dropped in shock, but I quickly composed myself. I Turned to Havana to see her staring at me intensely. “Well, I missed you too, but just couldn't say it.” I thought to myself. Havana drew closer to me slowly, before planting a kiss on my lips. She slowly pulled away from me and stared into my eyes. “I missed you too, Havana.” I said and pulled her closer again. We kissed hungrily as she held me firmly. After a short while, we pulled away from each other to catch our breath. I stood up and held Havana. “We Should head to my room, someone might walk in here at any moment.” I said and started walking away. Havana obliged and walked came with me. We both headed for my quarters immediately. After avoiding the maids and guards around as much as we could, we finally reached my room. I shut the door and heaved a sigh of relief. Turning around, I was spooked when Havana suddenly pulled me closer and kissed me hungrily. She rubbed my chest as our lips parted, “Take of
Arnold's POVI walked back into the room after shutting the door. “I am so famished, it feels like I haven't eaten in months!” I exclaimed and sat down. I soon started eating, and it tasted way better than I expected. After a while, I finished eating and went out to see Tyler. “He Should be somewhere in the Living room or something, your majesty.” The maid I asked Tyler's room for replied. I thanked her and headed to the living room. As she said, Tyler was indeed in the living room, sitting alone. He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice I had come in until I cleared my throat. Tyler looked up and saw me. “Your Majesty, it is quite late already. You should be resting as the journey might have taken a toll on your body.” He blurted out.“You should not be worried about that. What lies further ahead is way more important than mere sleep. As Wayne said, your brother would do anything possible to win this battle.” I said. As soon as I mentioned his brother again, Tyler stopped
*Arnold's POV* Still lost and void of a way out of the situation we were currently in, Things were seemingly going bad. “What I am saying is that, there is absolutely no way I would join this fight if there are not enough men. We should be twice their numbers to be able to have a chance at winning this battle!” Wayne stated. Even though he was right, I just didn't want to accept that he is. There was nothing we could think of now that the battle is at hand. “There's nothing we can do anymore now. Overanalyzing the situation would not result in any solution.” I stated. Wayne stared at me furiously, but he could not just exert his anger fearing getting slayed by Stan. “We have to think of something, Your Majesty. If we go ahead and attack Alpha Tristan without proper preparation, there will be no way out of this.” He said. “I hate to say this, but he's right, Your majesty. My brother would definitely be prepared for whatever way the battle Is coming. Attacking or defending his l
Tristan's POVI reached the Rogue village again. Karl was in the living room when I walked in. “You are back. Did you, by any chance, leave with your Beta? He seemed to have disappeared after you left.” Karl asked. “Wayne? He was in here when I left. Did he leave without your knowledge or something?” I asked. Karl shook his head. “I am certain that he didn't leave yet. The guards at the gate said they didn't see him leave. My thoughts were that he left with you.” He said. I was beginning to get confused. Wayne was in the living room when I left, and he was surely going to leave after I did. “Maybe he left without anyone see him do that. I already asked him to go back to the Blue moon pack. And I don't think there's something to be worried about.” I said. Karl sighed. “I don't understand why, but I just felt it was suspicious. He suddenly came here without being asked for and also left in the same way he came.” He said. I was still so confused, too. “Wait, did he by any Cha
