Freya's POV
My heartbeat raced faster and I could feel my skin turning cold."I'll die?" I asked him in a trembling voice, as I stared at him with my eyes wide open.Perhaps my guess from the start is actually the truth, "He must be a Vampire". Maybe he brought me here to enjoy his breakfast without any one disturbing him, perhaps I finally landed in the hand of a predator. My headaches terribly, as I stared at him with wide eyes."Yes, you will die.......if you don't have my wolf marble removed from your belly in time. You'll die", he replied. "He's a lunatic", I concluded.I'm sure a nineteen year old girl like me wouldn't have eaten a stone without knowing, it's quite impossible. "Right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I Am A Wolf. Your world called it Lycanthrope", he replied in a serious tone which got me much more confused. At least, people don't normally joke these days with such absurd fairy tales. "Ooooh....I see", I replied to him as I started moving slightly backward with my back. Seeing this, he smirked at me with his stunning face which made my heart galloped "You don't believe me?" He asked. "Noo...I do", I replied to him quickly before he could complete his words, moving faster now. "So you're a werewolf.....I mean those mythological beasts we read in tales. And I swallowed your wolf marble last night, right?. Then I'm thinking of going for surgery and returning it back for you, since it's inside my stomach", I muttered deceitfully, thinking of all possible ways to get out of there faster. One Mistake I will never make is sitting and conversing with a lunatic. Of course, it's obvious that he isn't a vampire, but a lunatic. I'm a few steps to exit the room when he said "It's not in your stomach"I halted immediately."It has already placed itself in your body," he added. Still confused I asked"Then what should I do?" "I'll have to find a way, This means we're on the same boat now. We have a common purpose, taking out the Marble. Therefore, let's cohabitate for a while"."COHABITATE?"I gasped repeatedly with astonishment, as I was about to run out of the room."What are you saying? You want me to move here with you?, I asked him with disbelief.Now I knew I guessed right, he's a lunatic indeed. A mad man at the best. How could a grown up guy request a young girl like me to live with him?. Such a badass he is, he must be actually trying to make a pass at me after laying his hands on my buttocks last night without me snarling at him, perhaps he wants to give it a taste, men are the same. My heart was full of anger, I wished to pounce on him heavily and bite his ear off.....if only I had the chance to. "I understand how you're flustered, but we are strangers, and that Marble is very dear to me. Don't you think I'd only be rest assured to always have you before me?", He asked me rhetorically.Of course, he shouldn't be expecting an answer after all that trash coming out of his mouth. "I can't believe this guy. I'm sorry I ate your fruit or whatever, and I'm thankful for not leaving me out there. But what?....A Werewolf?....... Cohabitate?, Stop talking nonsense", I yelled at him angrily at the top of my voice. What annoyed me most was his smirk. I was annoyed and hurt to see him smirking in such a situation. "See?You really don't believe me. But yes, it will be easier to understand once you see it for yourself", this last word of his hooked me. Now I was more curious and desperate to see whatever he's going to show me before I drop my last swear and run.Ready to run, I picked up my phone, bent down steadily to tie my shoe laces, when I heard him say "Try not to pass out"Hearing this, I raised my head to see what he's talking about, only for me to see what I would've never been willing to see. What I see next is a huge giant monster standing before me. His silver furs were rippling violently, revealing its muscles underneath. His yellowish green eye balls shone brightly as they reflected the light.Everything was cool until my eyes spotted his claws and fangs, which were sharper than daggers,as if he was born from hell.This creature looked frightening enough to scare away every living thing in sight.I couldn't help but gasp aloud, as my eyes wandered over the beast's muscular body, which seemed ready to rip apart anyone who dared approach. I could sense the movement of my heart beating rapidly, as if it wanted to escape through my throat.My eyes were glued onto him, as I saw the transformation happen slowly and smoothly. As if it wasn't real, as if I was hallucinating, seeing things that aren't there."I might die at this rate", the words escaped my lips.What surprised me most were the scars embedded underneath his silver furs, some parts of his body were completely ripped off, others missing altogether, which made him look grotesque.I tried hard not to scream or cry out loud, instead I kept silent and watched him howl magnificently as his jaws parted open to reveal row upon row of razor sharp teeth.His golden furs rose up proudly, making him appear menacing and ferocious. My mind went blank. All I know is that I have to flee from here and fast. That instant,I felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if someone pushed me down from behind, my legs parted and I swiveled backward. I was about to hit my head on the floor when a hand grabbed my waist tightly and pushed me towards itself. So fast as if he flickered, I could feel the sensation of his touch all over my body, as his hot breath blew across my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. The sweet scent of his musk filled my nose, causing me to gag and choke slightly. He moved his head closer to me and whispered in his monstrous voice into my ear "You'll wake up after four hours……"Freya's POVMy rumbling stomach woke me up where I slept, still in my bed. I could feel my head throbbing painfully.I opened my eyes slowly and saw a figure sitting beside me on the bed, with his eyes locked on mine.At first, I thought it was merely a dream, but not until the memories of my encounter with a monster surged back into my head, I jumped out of bed with fear, my heart pounded wildly."You....... you're.....", I stuttered continuously with fear, as I dashed to one corner of the room, with my head hidden between my thighs. I couldn't imagine seeing his beastful transformation again. I peeped my head slowly out of my thighs, only to see him grinning in a mockery manner. "Do you really find me scary?, Or did I frighten you too much?", he asked me."No, no! Not at all", I lied through my teeth as I shook my head vigorously."Just let me go..... please", I pleaded as tears began forming in my eyes."But why? Do you dislike being with me so much?", he asked me with concer
Freya's POVThe journey from Brooklyn to Irving Place is quite long. After four stops, I reached the last stop, where I alighted and ran away from the crowd to the nearest alleyway.It took me five minutes to walk before I reached Christine's place, in which I spent each and every minute of it in fear. "This monster stole away my peace", I mumbled to myself, as I approached the front yard of the building.Every shadow looked like a monster to me, and every standing tree and shrub looked like beasts to my eyes.I tried to open the door, but failed miserably; Christine would've never changed the password to unlock the door without telling me, since she knew I visited her whenever I wanted to anyway.After trying three times, I decided to try calling her number. Without delay, I dialed her number and it rang, for five different times without her answering the call. I was confused what's happening, it was 8:54pm, Christine will never stay that late outside. "Is she inside and inte
Freya's POV Her ears twitched rapidly as she peered at me in bewilderment, like a hare whose eye had found a carrot."Seriously?" she shouted, her eyes wide open and her mouth gaping agape.My head nodded enthusiastically.YES, I DID IT!Her reaction made me feel good inside, knowing that I have finally managed to convince her. However, she seemed skeptical as well. Her eyebrows are knitted together, giving her a look of doubtfulness. Now is the time for me to add more lies to convince her totally. Of course, I trust Christine, she can detect my lies anytime if I'm not careful."So you want to stay here for the night?You've eaten?", She asked me with a bright grin on her face.Now It seems my lies are working more than my imagination. Like a cool innocent girl, I nodded in acceptance. "Yes I've eaten....I ate hamburgers in the afternoon, of course, half loaf is better than none", I replied in a silent pitched tone to crown my lies. "Ooooh sorry dear.....that means you're into
Tigreal was sitting peacefully on his long sofa, holding a glass of champagne and enjoying the appeasing mood when he felt a puzzling sensation all over his body. Tig's body trembled incessantly as if there was an electric current going through it. Except for his head, his body became inactive. He felt as if his brain seemed to be drained out through the top of his skull. "My Marble Is In Danger" He marveled as his body jerked and shuddered uncontrollably until he finally collapsed onto the floor. He was in this state for almost ten minutes before I could stand again without falling or passing out from exhaustion. "I could sense the danger lurking around my Marble, I could sense the negative energies lurking around it. Had I known, I shouldn't have allowed that naive and oblivious girl to leave on her own", Tigreal muttered regretfully. Tigreal was in his room earlier, viewing her life through the camera installed beneath the ceiling fan. Watching how she consumed su
"Ooooh.... she's blinking her eyelids," the voice quipped abruptly, forcing me to open my eyes slowly and grudgingly."That's Dave's voice," I knew right away.My eyelids felt like they were stuck shut with superglue when I gently opened my eyes.My vision was blurry and hazy, as if the sun had set in front of my eyes, and they burned and hurt me severely. As I hastily covered my two ears with my palms, I could hear deafening sounds like drums being banged in my ears. "What's happening to me again?", I sobbed painfully.I was still In this pain when I felt a hand touch me. "That's Christine", I bubbled in my heart as the hand helped me up and gave me a tight hug, holding me tightly to her chest. "You asshole....you nearly got me killed within your two days of endless sleeping. You deserve a head knock", She yelled at me with a teary voice as she patted me on the head. Slowly, I forced my eyes open, only to find myself on a bed in a strange room, with water drips passed in
Freya's POVI eventually came to a halt in front of the living room, where I saw him sitting comfortably on the couch, reading a book.He was puzzled to find me standing there with a frightened expression on my face, but he smiled gently and beckoned me towards him."Oh, you've arrived?How is your health now? ", he inquired, his voice concerned."Fine," I said monotonously, attempting to escape his gaze, but his final words rang in my ears. "How did you find out about my health? How did you find out I was disabled? "I asked him several times.His smile quickly changed into a scowl "Why are you posing such queries? You already knew the answer, didn't you? ". His tone was caustic and cold.I remained mute, staring down at my feet with a bewildered expression on my face, now that I'd received the answer to my question.The expression on his face implies that he was aware of my unexpected sickness, and hence he is to blame. "Do you really have to go this far just because of a mere
Freya's POV The joy of sitting comfortably in a car with AC, the happiness of listening to the radio station and driving along the highway made me feel like I'm floating on clouds.Everything seems so peaceful and calm, except for his presence beside me, I don't know how many times I had to remind myself that there's nothing wrong in letting him take care of me.In fact, it would be great if he could be my friend, someone whom I should trust completely and unconditionally. Someone who wouldn't hurt me, but protect me from harm.Even though I don't want to admit it, I feel it deep down inside my heart. Sitting comfortably in his car reflects back long time memories of me sitting with my dad the same way as this. The happy memories surges into my head like a tide, but the fact that it's nothing but ordinary pasts and memories made me gravely hurt and sad.I sighed deeply, closed my eyes tight as I tried to fight back the tears which welled up in them, trying hard to hold back my em
Freya's POVThe closer I go to this man-like beast, the more I want to know about him. Who exactly is he? Why does he treat me this way? Is he simply having fun with me? Is he even mindful of my survival? Or was he just looking after his treasure, which I had with me?These were the types of thoughts that ran through my mind.The most striking feature was that he already knew my name, and his manner of addressing me made it clear that he already knew everything about me. He's the most handsome man when he's chuffed, but the most hideous when he's upset or depressed. He's hasty in his actions at times, but yet cool in others; he's even come to purchase me clothes right now.One thing about me is that I despise accepting gifts from strangers, especially males. Receiving assistance that I may not be able to return makes me feel pitiful, and I loathe it.The more I refused his assistance, the more he insisted. Now I have no option but to take the items. My eyes brimmed with Surprise
Tigreal, Freya, Christine, Kelvin, and Trevor stood in the dimly lit chamber, surrounded by an array of weaponry. Each of them diligently prepared for the impending war. The tension in the room was palpable, the weight of their task imprinted on their resolute features. They knew the difficulties ahead would put their strength and resolve to the test like never before. Kelvin slung a razor-sharp sword over his waist, its dazzling edge poised for action, throwing threatening glimmers in the dark light. Christine slung a quiver of arrows across her back, her nimble fingers checking the bowstring with accustomed accuracy. Trevor, the epitome of cool under pressure, painstakingly loaded a revolver, his gestures demonstrating his steadfast concentration. Tigreal, dominating in his armor, adjusted the straps, his posture exuding power and resolve. Freya gently fastened a pair of sparkling daggers to her waist, their blades echoing her steadfast willpower. Trevor's trusty companion stormed
Tigreal summoned an assembly in the middle of the White Moon Pack territory, amid a large expanse of tall trees. It was a long-awaited event, and the wolves gathered in silence. The pack, unified in their allegiance and reverence for their Alpha, Tigreal, listened intently.Tigreal, his towering form, a symbol of power, began to speak. "My fellow pack members, the time has come for me to embark on a quest in the human world." The threat presented by Balmond and Balerick to both our realm and the human world is too enormous to ignore."The people in the throng exchanged knowing looks, aware of the coming peril that hung over them all."I understand your concerns and fears," Tigreal said, "but this mission cannot be postponed any longer." The unholy union of Balmond and Balerick jeopardizes the state of balance we have battled to protect for decades."Seraphine's eyes twinkled with excitement as she stood among the crowd. She had long desired the role of Alpha, and the possibility of Ti
Trevor's strength began to return on the second day in the infirmary, bringing with it a ray of hope. The air smelled faintly of antiseptic, and the calm hum of medical equipment formed a continuous background. Tigreal, Freya, Kelvin, and Christine formed a unified front at his bedside, ready to hear his narrative of the horrible events that had occurred.Freya was the first to speak, her voice concerned and relieved. "Trevor, you had us worried for more than a day there."Tigreal, who towered over the rest, gave his thoughts. "Yes, Trevor. It seemed like an eon. I'm pleased to see you're on the mend."Christine, her eyes moist with emotion, chimed in. "When Freya carried you here, we feared the worst."Trevor couldn't help but crack a joke, his sense of humour intact despite his trauma. "How about we skip over the part where Freya carried me around like a hero?" Laughter swept across the room, temporarily relieving tension.Freya couldn't keep her curiosity at bay any longer, her bri
Freya's heart wrenched as she saw her son, Rolf, suffer. Her previously limitless patience had been completely depleted. Her gaze stayed fixated on Raff and Seraphine, two figures who relished in their spiteful victory, flaming with a violent mix of maternal love and rage. Her own clan's hypocritical methods had left a dark stain on what should have been the Luminance Festival's clean, joyous mood.Freya's change into her powerful werewolf form unfolded with captivating speed, punctuated by a primal cry that pierced the air and rang across the pack. Her pure white fur shimmered wonderfully in the dappled sunshine, almost otherworldly. Her eyes were like twin fires, conveying a strong resolve. She sprang from her seated position, landing with an earth shaking impact in the center of the arena, fully prepared for the confrontation that lay ahead.As Freya saw her rival's change on the other side of the arena, Seraphine's eyes narrowed and met hers. She had a long-standing desire for dom
The annual "Luminance Festival" erupted like a bright supernova in the heart of the White Moon's Pack, igniting the very air with pleasure and unity. This lavish celebration symbolized the pack members' harmonious relationship, a monument to their shared devotion to peace and prosperity. Laughter cascaded through the old forest, forming a tapestry of delight that transcended species and size, as every creature came to celebrate their connected life, from the mighty to the tiniest.The event was a visual work of art. Vibrant flags swayed in the mild breeze, like bursts of color adorning the scene around them. Tables heaved under the weight of delicious treats, which included everything from luscious meats to scrumptious desserts. Fruits and nectar-filled goblets glistened in the dappled sunlight, enticing anybody who came close. The entire pack sank to the seductive beat of dance and song as musicians performed energetic, captivating songs. Tigreal, magnificent in his festive clothing
As Trevor and his men prepared to leave the room, they had no idea that Balmond had a cyberpunk agent, a master of virtual manipulation, who had managed to hack into the system and decode the location. The agent had traced their positions through the intercepted phone conversation between Balmond and Trevor's squad, sending critical information to Balmond's waiting men.Balmond's men filled the room as the door slammed open, their forms silhouetted by the faint light of the corridor. Trevor's pulse rate increased as the standoff intensified, each second ticking by in a tight symphony of expectation."Looks like we've got company," one of Trevor's guys said, a sardonic smile pulling at his lips despite the risk."Take cover and keep them at bay," Trevor said quickly, his voice dripping with anxiety. We must buy some time."Bullets flew through the air as Trevor's crew fought a desperate struggle against Balmond's well-coordinated men. The room had turned into a battleground, with furni
Under the cover of night, Trevor and his men surrounded Balerick's towering home. Their steps were deliberate, like burglars in the dark, as they approached the home of the enigmatic individual in charge of the perilous mission. The weight of their goal weighed heavily on them, a mix of resolve and anxiety propelling their every action.Trevor's men secured the perimeter of the home with the precision of a well-oiled machine, their rifles drawn. The night air was heavy with suspense as they awaited Trevor's signal to make their move. Balerick's destiny hung in the balance, a captive audience to the impending clash.Trevor's grip on his firearm was firm, his sight fixed on the home in front of him. He understood this was the decisive moment, the climax of their attempts to foil Balmond's terrible ploy. The crew rushed forward as the signal was given, their actions synced in a precise dance.The element of surprise worked in their favor as they invaded the mansion, quickly and expertly
Trevor's thoughts raced with a fresh resolve as the echoes of Balmond and Balerick's dialogue reverberated in his head. The truck Balerick was escorting into the city had secrets that were considerably more frightening than they initially appeared to be, which had put the wheels of curiosity in action. There was a definite hidden objective at work, and Trevor was determined to find out what it was.Utilizing his connections, Trevor put together a small team of reliable people who were eager to help him in his quest to unravel the mysteries behind the trucks. They established an impromptu camp under the shelter of the thick woodland, hidden from prying eyes but well situated to watch the trucks' approach.Tension lingered in the air like a charged current as the sun sunk below the horizon, sending sweeping shadows across the countryside. Trevor's senses were tingling with anticipation at every sound, including distant wind and rustling leaves. He was aware that what he was going to fac
Trevor's path crossed with an unexpected figure as he approached the threshold of Balmond's richly decorated sitting room. During his leaving, he found himself walking beside a man who, at first look, appeared to be an average visitor to Balmond's domain. However, when their shoulders brushed against each other for a split second, an electric current of familiarity shot through Trevor's veins, igniting a newfound sensation of awareness.Trevor's feet briefly slowed down in response to this strange familiarity, giving him a priceless additional second to secretly examine the man's face. It was a quick but purposeful gaze meant to capture the man's soul without revealing his intentions. He had an enigmatic nature that sparked a flood of recollections and feelings that had been kept under wraps. He then realized that this man was none other than Mr. Balerick, Freya's villainous uncle, with the destructive ability of a lightning bolt.Trevor's heart gripped at the sight of Balerick, as me
