…Freya's pov…I stared at Rowland, his form sprawled across the bed, his breathing steady but heavy with the remnants of alcohol. The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the moon filtering through the curtains, casting a hazy ambiance. I had tucked him in, ensuring his comfort and safety, ready to retreat to my own space and let the night unfold.As I turned to leave, my hand gently gripping the doorknob, I felt a sudden warmth caress my fingertips. Startled, I glanced down to find Rowland's hand reaching out, his fingers brushing against mine. The touch sent an electric jolt through my body, the mate bond stirring within me, awakening a raw desire that had been simmering beneath the surface.In that moment, my thoughts became clouded, my senses heightened by the lingering effects of alcohol. The temptation to surrender to the pull of the bond, to let passion guide my actions, was overwhelming. I could taste the remnants of alcohol on my lips, a bittersweet reminder of the night's in
…Freya pov…As we stood there, enveloped in a silence filled with unspoken promises and uncharted possibilities, I felt a newfound connection with Rowland. It wasn't solely defined by the bond, but by the genuine understanding and acceptance that lay beneath the surface.In that moment, I realized that rejecting the bond didn't mean rejecting him entirely. It meant embracing the complexity of our connection and learning to navigate its intricacies without losing sight of who I was.With a renewed sense of purpose, I looked into Rowland's eyes and whispered, "Thank you, Rowland. Thank you for understanding and giving me the space I need. I believe that, in time, we can find a way to make this bond work for both of us."A soft smile played on his lips as he pulled me into a gentle embrace. "I'll be patient, Freya. We'll face the challenges together, and I have faith that our bond will only grow stronger."As we held each other, the weight of the bond still present but no longer suffocat
…Selena's pov…Scene: Selena dashes into the night, tears at the corner of her eyes.As the cold wind whipped against my face, I dashed into the night, my heart heavy with anguish. Tears streamed down my cheeks, leaving a trail of glistening sorrow. Everything had changed, and I felt as though my world was crumbling around me. How could this be happening?I stumbled, the weight of my emotions threatening to consume me. With trembling hands, I raised my arm and desperately waved down a passing taxi. As the vehicle screeched to a halt, I practically threw myself inside, grateful for the temporary shelter it provided. The tears continued to flow, leaving a lingering ache in my chest."Where to, miss?" the taxi driver asked, his voice laced with concern. His eyes met mine in the rearview mirror, reflecting the pain that clouded my own."Home," I whispered hoarsely, my voice barely audible. Home, where I could seek solace in the familiarity of my surroundings, even if they now felt suffoca
…Selena pov….As I stepped through the front door of my house, exhaustion washed over me like a tidal wave. The long day had taken its toll, but my mind was far from resting. A devious thought had taken hold of my consciousness, and as I moved further into my home, it grew stronger, entwining with my daily activities.I kicked off my shoes, feeling the weight of the world slide off my feet. But my mind remained occupied, consumed by a burning desire to make Alpha Rowland hate Freya. It wasn't enough for her to simply dislike Freya; I wanted her to despise her with every fiber of her being. The idea held a twisted satisfaction for me, a way to assert control and undermine their friendship.I walked through the familiar rooms of my house, noticing the comforting warmth and familiar scents. Yet, my thoughts were miles away. I couldn't shake the resentment that had taken root within me, fueled by my own insecurities and fears. Freya had always been the center of attention, the one who eff

I had come seeking validation for my suspicions about Freya, hoping the seer would confirm my beliefs that she was an evil force. But their words carried a different tone, one that left me perplexed."Seer," I said, my voice laced with urgency. "You must understand, Freya is not who she seems. I have seen her manipulate others, cause pain and suffering. She is using her powers for darkness, for her own gain."The seer regarded me with a serene expression, their eyes filled with wisdom. "Salena," they said gently, "it is true that Freya possesses extraordinary abilities, but she has not been using them for malevolence. She is guided by a different purpose, one that may not align with your perception."My frustration grew, bubbling beneath the surface. How could the seer not see what I saw? How could they not comprehend the darkness that emanated from Freya's actions? I struggled to contai

But as minutes ticked by, an unsettling feeling settled deep within me. Something was amiss, and I couldn't ignore it any longer.Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door and stepped out into the chaos that enveloped our once serene pack territory. People were running frantically, their panicked voices filling the air. I rushed towards the nearest pack member, desperately seeking answers."What's happening?" I asked, my voice betraying my fear.The pack member's eyes widened in alarm as they recognized me. "Freya! It's an attack! We're being overrun by rogue wolves!"My heart clenched with a mix of dread and determination. Our pack, our family, was under siege. I couldn't stand idly by while danger threatened everything we held dear. Without hesitation, I sprinted towards the open space
…Freya pov….The chaos of the battle grew, reaching a crescendo that echoed through the depths of the forest. With each passing moment, Rowland's wounds multiplied, the crimson stain on his fur spreading like a haunting tapestry of pain. The initial satisfaction I had felt melted away, replaced by a deepening worry that nestled within my heart.As I watched Rowland fight on, his movements grew labored, his once-mighty frame burdened by the weight of his injuries. The sharp pang of sympathy pierced through the remnants of my earlier satisfaction, chipping away at the callousness that had clouded my judgment. It was at that moment that I truly understood the gravity of the situation.The pain etched across Rowland's face mirrored the torment that now consumed my own spirit. It was no longer a matter of reveling in his suffering, but a shared understanding of the sacrifices he had made and the burdens he carried. The sight of his battered form filled me with a deep ache, a longing to eas

It was a relief, but also a stark reminder of the casualties we had suffered. We gathered near the pack house, a mix of exhaustion and sorrow hanging heavy in the air.And then, amidst the solemn scene, Selena appeared. Her arrival was like a sudden gust of wind, catching everyone off guard. I furrowed my eyebrows, my suspicions immediately aroused. What was she doing here? And why now, when everything was over?Selena's seductive gown hugged her curves, accentuating her every move as she walked towards Rowland with deliberate, seductive steps.

Spotting Freya, resplendent in her flowing white gown, her hair cascading down her shoulders in loose curls, he felt his heart skip a beat. Approaching her with a smile, he extended his hand."May I have this dance, my love?"

"Okay, Freya," I said to myself, "first things first, we need to choose the perfect date and venue for our special day."I picked up my phone and dialed Alpha's number. After a few rings, he answered.
