Freya’s P.O.V

With my eyes on him, I bobbed my head, chewing at the same time as I listened keenly to how he talked about his daughter and how he came to the mall to get his daughter a gift because some miscreants had ruined her birthday party. He talked about how he ended up yelling at her and hoped that the gifts would somehow appease her.

“That was why you came all the way here?”

He took a sip of his juice. “The gift that she wanted, I heard that the last edition is in this mall. It is a rare vinyl record and my daughter hopes to become a musician someday,”

“Aww” I bit into my sandwich, stealing a glance at him, watching as he stared into the phone with a bright smile on his face. But in his eyes, I saw a troubled soul or maybe, I was overthinking things like always.

I cleared my throat. “Why did you change your name then? I honestly never knew that you were the Nigel my cousins talked about. Cedric is a nice name, you shouldn't have changed it”

He chuckled. “Would you have consi

    Freya’s P.O.VA shiver ran down my spine and while Nigel kept talking about his daughter, I froze, turning slightly while swiveling my head around the entire section. I didn't know, but why did it seem more like someone was watching me or worse, following me? And at the same time, why could I smell Thorne?My stomach tied a knot and I brushed my hands through the back of my neck because I saw no one except for the customers who went about with their daily business. Could Thorne have followed me?No. I doubted that. He was currently busy with the moon festival and right now, he didn't give a shit about me or whatever happened to me—Like he had insinuated over the phone. Nigel broke my train of thought and concern shone in his eyes. “Is there a problem?”My pupils dilated, and a placid smile slipped through my face. “No. I was thinking that I saw someone. Turned out that it wasn't the person I thought it was” I lied while his brows knitted together in confusion as his eyes coasted

    Freya’s P.O.VMurmurs filled the entire place and people flipped out their phones, taking pictures and recording videos. “Did he just mention the Lycan King?”“Are they actors shooting a movie?”“What the fuck is a Lycan King?” “Is this some sort of a joke?” Someone said, chuckling as he pushed the cart away while my face flushed with embarrassment. My pupils dilated and I shifted my eyes towards Thorne whose chest heaved up and down as a muscle in his jaw ticked. He didn’t seem to care about the eyes that were fixed on us. What he cared the most about was unleashing hell on Cedric. Blood ran underneath Nigel’s nostrils as he wiped it off with his hands. “The fuck is wrong with you, man?” He cussed and those words did nothing but enrage Thorne further. Thorne was like a mad beast, his entire body tensed with fury and at that moment, it dawned on me that this man didn’t care for the fact that he was in the human world. With the way he had clenched his fingers, I knew that he was ab

    Thorne’s P.O.VWe had gone back only to find out that the woman named Elsie had relocated to Belgium. Although Freya had been devastated, the only thing that consoled her was the fact that Elsie had left a phone number in case Freya ever contacted her. I watched as she stared at the piece of paper while I followed closely behind her and at that moment, my mind drifted back to Nigel. Anger boiled within me when the memories of what had happened earlier flashed inside my mind. What the heck was he even up to? The two had smiled at each other like they were long-lost acquaintances who were just meeting each other after so many years. And now that I had come face to face with Nigel, I couldn't just shake off the eerie feeling that he looked familiar. I ran a finger through the back of my neck, trying to recollect where I had seen him before, but it was impossible. I was sure that I had seen him before, but I couldn't just place where. It didn't matter, though. All that mattered was

    Thorne’s P.O.VNo one had dared speak against me ever since I founded the Rogue Kingdom. They knew that speaking against my word or order meant death for them. But, the council of elders was here, ranting, and as much as I was seething with rage, I couldn’t say a single word. As if Asher’s death wasn’t worse, five different men were found dead and their bodies were disfigured just in the same way as Asher’s. Silver. They had all consumed a silver poison. At first, I had thought that Asher’s death was due to suicide—I mean everything was confusing. In the note that he had left, he had written about how he was fed up with everything and felt like he didn’t deserve his family. He had even sealed the note with his blood. I wanted to think that it was suicide, but with the bodies that were recently found, I would be too foolish to ignore the pattern. They couldn’t have committed suicide. This was murder. Someone in possession of Silver was sending a message to me. I wanted to point fi

    Thorne’s P.O.VAnother silence stretched through the court, my eyes shifting to Alan who whimpered softly as he covered his mouth with his hands, blood slipping between his fingers.My mind drifted back to what the Elders said concerning the dangerous poison—Silver. Even though I knew what they were trying to say, I couldn't help but admit that Lycans don't react to the effect of Silver like that. While the moon goddess banned Silver for our kind, the chances that a Lycan could be the one distributing Silver were high. However, the one thing I would never understand was why Freya’s name was being dragged into this. It seemed to me like they hadn't learned their lesson after what I just did to Alan. I rolled my eyes, breaking the silence. “By mentioning Freya as the only Lycan in the kingdom, what are you trying to insinuate?” Elder Craig. “We are not trying to accuse her, but the people are already suspecting her. They also believe that she doesn't have your well-being at heart, a

    Freya’s P.O.VThere was a decree that whoever was found with Silver poison had to be killed. I could only hope that whoever had it in their possession was found so that the senseless deaths that just spurred out of nowhere could end. Thorne would stop being stressed and when the war is over, we would finally have peace. I crouched before Isaac, meeting him at eye level as my mind drifted towards the priestess. She had made some prayers to the moon goddess and somehow, I had started regaining some bits of my memories from that night. Thorne and Enzo had claimed that a spell had been cast upon me to wipe out a part of my memory. Although, I hadn't believed but now that the priestess had stepped in, I could remember Reginald being there but what he had said was what I couldn't remember. He had been surrounded by some strange women, and just that image of him that flashed through my mind sent a shiver down my spine. Isaac broke my train of thought. “Mum, I am starving”My pupils dilat

    Thorne’s P.O.VI stood at the rim, calling Freya repeatedly, but she didn't answer and the one time she answered, she broke down over the phone. She sobbed, talking about how I had hated her, didn't trust her, and was pretending to love her. Freya screamed, reiterating the fact that she was different from her father. How she just wanted to live and how I had always done nothing but break her heart all the time. Honestly, I didn't know where all of this was coming from. I didn't even know if these words were caused by her random mood swings but the pain in her voice…It broke me.And worse, she didn't allow me to speak because she hung up on me and didn't answer any of my calls since that time. I was worried. Deeply worried. I was far from home and the thought of Freya in that broken state was unbearable. It made my heart twist in pain and…Heath broke my train of thought. I turned, my eyes drifting to the plastic evident bags that he gripped— the bag that contained small glass bot

    Thorne’s P.O.VAfter leaving the field, Enzo and I went to visit Asher’s family alongside Heath. I didn't know what to make of the expression on his face but all I knew was that while we were there, he had his head lowered, not daring to look at Asher’s fiancee and his son. He couldn't even hold him in his hands. Only a guilty soul would do that. All of this further proved that he had something to do with it. I was now back home, discussing with Heath concerning Enzo and while we were speaking, I caught sight of Freya, and everything Heath had been saying faded into the background. My heart pounded hard against my chest and I called out to her. “Freya…”She stopped in her tracks, shooting me a quick glare before darting her eyes over to Enzo who lowered his head in reverence for her. She did the same and that was when I dismissed Heath. “Freya, what is this?”Her face contorted into a frown and before I could take a step, she turned on her heel. I stared at her in disbelief, runni

    Thorne’s P.O.V** The Light Festival **Moon-shaped lanterns hung from the trees while golden lights made in honor of the moon goddess floated through the sky. For a long time in a while, there was this sense of fulfillment that washed through me because it was the first time in many years that the festival would be celebrated. And most importantly, seeing Freya excited made me happy. Because she had lived hidden all her life, she had never experienced something like this. My eyes were fixed on Freya whose gaze mirrored the reflection of the lights.“This is so beautiful” Tears filled her eyes as she glanced at me and her face broke into a smile. She placed a hand on her chest, talking about how she couldn't contain her joy and while she did that, I reached for her hands and slipped the bracelet onto her wrists. It was a diamond bracelet. She paused, darting her eyes between the bracelet and my face. “Again?”I nodded and before I could wrap my head around things, she threw her ha

    Freya’s P.O.VIt had been two weeks since Enzo recovered, and one would think that Thorne would be softer toward him since he was beating himself up for almost causing his death. But, the case was otherwise.As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, Thorne placed him under house arrest. He wasn't allowed to leave the house and no one was allowed to meet him unless it was necessary. The house arrest was to last for six months. Initially, it was set to last for four months, but Sadie’s tantrums and constant threats to Thorne made him add two more months. Since then, Thorne and Enzo hadn't spoken. And worse, it was difficult to know what was going through his mind and why he wasn't speaking to his brother when he was the one who didn't want him dead. Was he staying away from him because he was scared that Raze could take over and end Enzo’s life for good this time?The maid’s voice broke my train of thought as she wheeled in a rack of dresses. The clothes were all neon-colored,

    Freya’s P.O.VI was having a conversation with Nigel, apologizing for what had happened since Thorne left my side abruptly, claiming that he wanted to check on something. My instinct had nudged me to follow him but I didn't and just before Nigel could leave, an ambulance was driven in and Thorne emerged from the path that led to the dungeon. He had carried a severely wounded Enzo on his back and that scene was terrifying. While I had placed a hand on Enzo’s stomach that looked like sharp claws had been sunk into, all the wound did was close but he wasn't opening his eyes. And for the past eight hours that he was rushed into the hospital, he still hasn't regained consciousness. Thorne sat alone, staring at his blood-filled hands in horror. That was all he had been doing except asking the werewolf doctor if his brother had regained consciousness. What the hell happened in the dungeon? What did Thorne do? The doctor had claimed that Enzo was in a critical condition and this was mor

    Thorne’s P.O.V How long had I been standing? Probably since he dropped the blow, admitting to working with Reginald because he was being blackmailed by him. I had figured out that he was going to come into the torture room and that was the reason that I made sure the whole place was taped. When my eyes clashed with his face, my heart sank to the hollow of my stomach, and never in my wildest imagination have I ever imagined a day like this. A day when my brother was going to hide something as big as blackmail just because he thought that I was going to kill him for being an Anori. How does that even make any sense? I had known about his secret since we were younger. I had followed him then since he always made constant visits to the human world. When I found out the truth about him, I was determined to keep his secret to the end. To the fucking end. And now, this. My fingers turned into sharp long laws as they squeezed into folds, the claws piercing deeper into my palm as a

    Enzo’s P.O.V I was on the verge of losing my mind. There was this thought that kept nudging at the back of my mind— Thoughts that Thorne knew something about Reginald and me. What did he know? Did he know that I have been secretly working for that bastard against my will? The look in his eyes. It was the look of someone who had suspicions towards me. When I made the recommendation that Reginald shouldn’t be allowed to live further, he promised to make me take his place if anything ever happened to him before the public execution. All of this proved that he knew something about me. However, the Thorne that I knew was someone who hated betrayal so if he knew the truth about me already, why hasn’t he killed me yet? No. I doubted that. He may just be suspicious towards me after the event that happened with Asher and now, I had to ensure that Reginald doesn’t spill the truth about me being an Anori to Thorne. If Thorne ever knew, it was going to be the end of me. “Fuck!” I mut

    Freya’s P.O.VThorne had disagreed at first but after many promptings, he gave in and took me along, and now, were on our way to visit Maggie. The car ride was incredibly quiet and the two of us seemed lost in our thoughts. My mind couldn't stop replaying the accusations that were leveled against Cedric and most importantly, how everyone was involved with one another. It was more like everyone’s past was connected in one way or the other. Who would have known that Celeste was the reason he was left to die in the ocean and I had saved him? The same way I had saved Thorne. Was this fate or what?At the same time, why did I believe Cedric? If it were another woman, I would have doubted him but since Celeste was the victim here…What was I even saying? She has never been the victim. Celeste was always the perpetrator so that was the reason I found myself believing Nigel’s side of the story. Celeste was very cunning. She would have a smile on her face while planning someone’s doom. I

    Thorne’s P.O.VThe hairpin made with Swarovski crystals flashed through my mind briefly and at the same time, another thought appeared in my mind. What if he had killed her? The circumstances of her death revolved around him. What if what he did with Celeste was the same thing serial killers did to their victims as a form of vengeance?And now, his new target was Freya. A growl rumbled from my throat and anger slowly coursed through my veins. Before I could gather my thoughts, Enzo mind-linked with me. “Do I attack him right now?”I hated that this situation was the reason we were talking. I hated it so much but as long as it came to Cedric who now had his eyes on Freya, I couldn't afford to hesitate. “Yes!”I shifted my eyes to Nigel, taking long predatory strides towards him. “Cedric Sanchez? The same Cedric who raped Celeste and should be dead right now. Yet, you are here alive and with another name…”Freya cut in, rising to her feet and there was a mix of fear and confusion in

    Thorne’s P.O.VReginald's agonizing scream faded as soon as I closed the soundproof door. I rolled up my sleeves, darting my eyes to the maid who reiterated her words. “Alpha Nigel is in the dining hall”“And Freya?”She responded. “She got my message, King Thorne. Lady Freya said she would join you shortly”I blew out a breath and in the next minute, I was in the dining hall. I swiveled my eyes around and Freya wasn't anywhere to be found. Nigel lowered his head slightly and I did the same. Where was Freya?The dinner was supposed to be just for me and Nigel but despite his help, there was just something about him that made me uncomfortable. Maybe it was because I still had doubts about him. My eyes were piqued with curiosity and just when I decided to put a call through her, a thought concerning Nigel and Reginald flashed through my mind. How was he able to capture Reginald?“Alpha Nigel…” I shifted my eyes to him and when our eyes met, that feeling that he looked familiar hit me

    Freya’s P.O.V My gaze lingered on the gift box that Julie had given to me. The more I stared at it, the more I wondered what could be inside and why there was a strain between her and Enzo’s relationship. What could have happened between them? Just as I was about to get lost in my thoughts, a hand rested on my shoulder, yanking me back with so much force. Before I could process things, my back slammed against the wall and right before me was a furious Enzo with eyes blazing with fury. Confusion swirled in my mind for a second and at the same time, anger pulsed through my veins. I lifted a brow. “And what is the meaning of this? We have been having encounters often, and I don't like that we are” He barked out a caustic scoffing laughter, flicking his hair away from his face and slowly, the smile on his face died, replaced by a darkened expression that sent a shiver skating down my spine. Enzo. I hated the fear that he made me feel. I hated that with every encounter, he seem
