Chapter 104

*Third pov*

Jessica stood at the edge of Rafe's grand bed, her eyes tracing the contours of his face as he slept peacefully. The soft glow of dawn filtered through the elaborate curtains, casting a gentle light on his chiseled features. His dark hair fell in waves across his forehead, and even in slumber, his strong jawline and high cheekbones exuded an undeniable strength and beauty. He was the Alpha king, after all—every woman's dream.

Her heart twisted with envy. Freya. Always Freya. What did she have that Jessica lacked? Why couldn't Rafe see her, truly see her, and realize she was the one meant for him? Freya wasn't even a true werewolf; she wasn't worthy of him. Yet, it was Freya who held his heart, leaving Jessica to fester in the shadows.

She clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms as memories of the previous night flooded her mind. She had donned her most stunning gown, every detail spectacularly planned to capture his attention. She laughed at his jokes,

    Chapter 105*Freya*I pushed through the heavy wooden doors of my room, the morning chill biting at my skin. The corridors were empty at this hour, a stark contrast to the lively ball that had taken place just last night. A pang of irritation surged through me as I recalled the scene: Rafe, the Alpha king, standing tall and commanding as always, but his attention had solely been on Jessica. Her high-pitched laughter echoed in my mind, an unbearable reminder of how he had ignored me."Rafe," I murmured under my breath, quickening my pace. It wasn't my right to question him—I knew that well enough. He was the alpha king; his duties often required him to entertainthe other ladies, sometimes even flirt with them. But last night... last night had been different. He hadn't even acknowledged my presence, let alone spoken to me.A knot formed in my stomach as I remembered attempting to approach him—how I had tried to engage him in conversation, only to be met with cold indifference. He'd laug

    Chapter 106*Freya*Tears blurred my vision as I stumbled down the corridor, my mind a whirlwind of confusion and pain. I barely noticed Kelly until her mocking laughter pierced the haze."Well, well, look who's finally seen the light," she sneered, leaning against the wall with an air of malicious satisfaction. "Did you really think you were special to Rafe? You're just a plaything, Freya.""Shut up, Kelly," I growled, my fists clenching at my sides. But she only laughed harder, her voice grating on my already frayed nerves."Poor little Freya, always thinking she's more important than she is," Kelly jeered, taking a step closer. "Face it, Rafe will never choose someone like you. You're nothing but a—"Before she could finish, my fist connected with her face, the impact reverberating through my bones. She tumbled to the ground with a cry, clutching her cheek in shock."Stay out of my business," I warned, my voice low and dangerous. "Or next time, it'll be worse."Kelly's eyes widened

    Chapter 107 *Freya* Time seemed to freeze as Rafe and I stared at each other silently. I couldn't deny how much i loved him and didn't want to lose him. But what would i do? He was the Alpha king. He had the right to do whatever he wanted and no one could question him. He could be with as many women as he wanted and no one would question his decisions. "Just..listen to me, Freya. You can't run every time something goes wrong between us, Freya. Don't I deserve a chance to explain at least?" "You barged into my room, Rafe. You sent my maids away from me. Why would I listen to you?!""Freya, please, just give me a chance to explain," Rafe pleaded, his voice heavy with desperation."There's nothing you can say," I shot back, my chest tightening as I stared at him. "Leave my chambers.""Listen to me, Freya," he said, stepping forward. "I didn't sleep with Jessica last night. I was drunk. I passed out.""Drunk?" I echoed, my voice cracking under the weight of my disbelief. "Are you

    Chapter 108*Freya* The door closed behind Rafe with a final, resounding thud. I stood there, frozen, unable to breathe. My heart pounded in my chest like a war drum, each beat louder than the last. The silence of my chambers felt suffocating, and the realization of what I'd just done hit me like a tidal wave. Rafe had really gone and it was all my fault. I had tried to send him out of my room, out of my life. I hadn't intended to push him away but it seemed like he had given up on us. What did I actually do? I thought of how Rafe had protected me again and again, how he'd showed me so much and made himself vulnerable to me, and I had tried to throw all that away because Jessica was manipulating us. How could I have been so foolish?Slowly, my legs gave way beneath me, and I slid to the ground, my back pressed against the cold wooden door. Tears blurred my vision as they cascaded down my cheeks, hot and relentless. Was this really happening? Had I really just pushed away the one p

    Chapter 109*Rafe*"We can do the test here," Jessica said. "There's no time to waste.""Is that what you would prefer, My king?" Dimitri asked approaching Jessica with a calmness that belied the storm brewing in the room."Yes, just do it." Jessica instructed. "Let's get this done with and prove that I'm not a liar."He extended his hand to her, his fingers glowing faintly with magical energy. Jessica hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand in his, her eyes darting nervously around the room. It occurred to me that it would be better if everyone was present because Jessica wasn't trusted one bit. "Wait." I comanded, my voice barely above a whisper as the tension threatened to choke me."Jessica," I said, my voice cold and unyielding. "This test will be done in the private courtroom, in front of the elders and the other ladies. You won't have any chance to lie or manipulate your way out of this."Her eyes flashed with a mix of anger and fear, but she nodded. "Fine."Time seemed t

    Chapter 110*Rafe*My voice roared with a fierce intensity, reverberating off the cold, stone walls of the courtroom. The murmurs and whispers that had filled the room fell silent as every eye turned to me. "Enough, Jessica!" I growled, my anger boiling over. "There is no cause for celebration here. Jessica did not conceive this child through mutual consent. She took advantage of me while I was drunk and unconscious." The weight of my words hung heavy in the air as I addressed the stunned onlookers, their faces frozen in shock and disbelief. My heart raced with emotion as I fought to defend my innocence and expose her deceitful actions.Gasps erupted from the crowd, shock and disbelief painting every face in the room. Elders exchanged bewildered glances, and my uncle's mouth hung open in stunned silence. Only Addy and Aurora nodded in agreement, their faces alight with relief and support. They bowed deeply, showing their allegiance to me and Freya. "She will be punished for her decei

    Chapter 111 *Freya* My hands throbbed, tied painfully behind me with rough rope that bit into my skin. The gag in my mouth tasted of sweat and fear, muffling my cries as I struggled against the binds. Clara—sweet, gentle Clara—stood over me, her eyes wild and desperate. How had it come to this??One of my most trusted maids, plotting against me, wanting to kill me?"Freya!" Rafe's voice boomed through the room as he barged in, his eyes widening in horror at the scene before him. I felt a little bit relieved that he was here."Rafe!" My muffled scream was barely audible through the gag, but I could see the shock and confusion flash across his face as he took in the sight of Clara holding a knife, trembling yet resolute."What the hell are you doing!?" His tone was a mix of disbelief and fury. He started towards me, but Clara stepped back, tightening her grip on the knife.I twisted my wrists, trying desperately to free myself, but the knots were too tight, biting deeper into my fle

    Chapter 112*Freya*Rafe's face went pale, his eyes widening in shock. He stood silent for a moment, processing the words that had just come out of Clara's mouth. The room seemed to hold its breath with him."Clara, if what you speak is the truth, Then I swear to you, I never authorized such an action," Rafe finally said, his voice heavy with sincerity and incredulity. "I have never given orders to imprison anyone without cause, especially not during the hunt last year. I'm so sorry for your loss, but I promise you, I didn't know.""You're lying!" Clara's voice cracked as she cried silently, the tip of the knife trembling against my skin. "Please, Clara," Rafe continued, stepping forward cautiously, his hands open and empty. "I'll punish my Gamma for what he's done, but you must let Freya go."Tears streamed down Clara's cheeks, mingling with her rage and sorrow. For a split second, the agony in her eyes mirrored the turmoil in my heart, a twisted reflection of pain and injustice.

    (Epilogue)*Freya*I gazed down at my beautiful baby boy, Adonis Jackson, as he slept peacefully in his little cot. His tiny chest rose and fell with each breath, and his delicate eyelashes cast shadows on his rosy cheeks. My heart swelled with an overwhelming love that seemed almost too much to contain. Little Adonis was more than just our son; he was the living, breathing symbol of the love Rafe and I shared. Our love had been powerful enough to shatter a hundred-year-old curse, freeing the Crimson Pack from mystery and hatred.As I watched him, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. The Crimson Kingdom had known nothing but peace since Rafe made me his Luna. The people adored their baby prince, showering him with so many gifts that every corner of our home was filled with tokens of their affection. Soft blankets, carved wooden toys, and tiny garments embroidered with symbols of protection surrounded us.A smile tugged at my lips as I thought about my friends. Addy, my dearest

    Chapter 119*Freya*"Rafe..." I managed to whisper, my throat dry and raw. The sound was faint, but it sliced through the oppressive silence like a knife.He looked up slowly, almost as if he couldn't dare to hope. His eyes were red-rimmed, his face a mask of anguish. The moment our gazes locked, something inside him seemed to snap."Freya?" His voice cracked. He stared at me, disbelief mingling with desperate hope. "Yes," I confirmed, my weak smile growing stronger under his intense scrutiny. "I'm here.""She's alive! She's alive!" Rafe's scream echoed off the walls, a sound filled with pure, unadulterated joy. He leapt to his feet and pulled me into a bear hug, his strong arms wrapping around me so tightly that I could barely breathe—but I didn't care. I was home."Thank you, goddess," he murmured fervently against my hair, tears soaking the strands. "Thank you for bringing her back to me."Before I could respond, the door burst open. Addy, Aurora, Connor, and even Jessica—who rare

    Chapter 118*Freya*I opened my eyes, but all I could see was an abyss stretching endlessly before me. I felt weightless, drifting further and further into the void until a sinking realization hit me—I was dead. The last memory seared into my mind was of Rafe's anguished face as he cradled me, his hands pressing against the wound at my neck, trying to stop the life from flowing out of me. I had died in his arms, leaving behind the love of my life. The thought of Rafe alone, broken by grief, pierced my heart more painfully than the blade ever did. I hoped, desperately, that he would find the strength to move on without me.As I continued to drift, an unseen force suddenly stopped my movement. Panic surged through me as I tried to push forward, but it was as if invisible hands were holding me back. Then, I felt it—a soothing presence, warm and calming, wrapping around me like a gentle embrace. I turned, and there she was. My mother stood before me, radiating a light so pure, it seemed t

    Chapter 117*Freya* The crimson pack is cursed. His words still hung tightly in the air. The shock was evident in people’s faces. I was shocked as well, but there had to be a reason for this. "Listen to me, all of you!" Rafael's grip tightened around my neck, the knife cold against my skin. His voice rang out with a sinister authority that sent shivers down my spine. "The only way to break this curse is for me to become your Alpha King. Then, and only then, can we all find our true mates and live in peace and harmony."The room was thick with silence, every eye flicking between Rafael, Rafe, and me. The confusion on their faces mirrored the turmoil in my heart. Rafe's jaw was set, but his eyes betrayed the uncertainty gnawing at him.I stared at Rafe expectantly, waiting for him to say something. After what seemed like forever, Rafe finally raised his head up and tuned to everyone facing him."Do you want Rafael Kingston," Rafe's voice broke through the tension, each word measured a

    Chapter 116*Freya*"I said Release her, Rafael!" I shouted, my voice cracking with urgency. Rafael's eyes narrowed into slits of pure malice as he glared at me, his lips curling into a snarl. Jessica, wide-eyed and trembling, seemed too shocked to move at first."Freya, you don't know what you're getting yourself into," Rafael growled, his voice low and dangerous."Don't I?" I challenged, stepping closer despite the fear clawing at my insides. "I know you've been blackmailing Jessica. I know everything, and I'm going straight to the Alpha king."The moment my words registered, Jessica broke free from Rafael's grasp, stumbling backward until she collided into me. Her body shook like a leaf in the wind, her fingers gripping my arm with desperate strength. I could feel her terror seeping through her skin, raw and palpable. My heart ached with pity for her, despite everything that had transpired between us."Your days at this palace are over," I declared, meeting Rafael's furious gaze h

    Chapter 115*Freya*I sat alone in my chambers, the morning light filtering through the heavy velvet curtains. My mind couldn't help but wander back to the night before with Rafe. A blush crept up my cheeks as I thought about the way he had touched me, held me close, and whispered sweet things in my ear. He had taken me to heights I never thought were reachable, making every nerve in my body sing with pleasure. The memory of his hands on my skin sent a shiver down my spine, and I hugged myself tightly, feeling an overwhelming surge of love for him. Out of all the girls, he chose me. The thought made my heart swell with happiness.But then, Jessica's face flashed across my mind. I bit my lip, wondering how she was faring. Even if she hated me, her wellbeing still mattered to me. After a few moments of deliberation, I decided that I would pay her a visit. Maybe we could mend some fences, or at least reach some understanding.Determined, I crossed over to my wardrobe and selected a simpl

    Chapter 114*Freya*As I pulled away from Daniel, a sudden wave of nausea hit me like a storm. My vision blurred, dark spots dancing at the edges. The room tilted, and I clutched my stomach, feeling as though the floor was being pulled out from under me."Freya?" Daniel's voice echoed in my ears, distant and distorted. I tried to focus on his face, but it swayed like a ship in turbulent waters."Alpha Rafe! Come!" I heard him call out, panic threading through his tone."Freya!" Rafe's voice was the last thing I heard, urgent and filled with worry, before everything went black.***When I opened my eyes, the world came back in fragments. The first thing I saw was the doctor leaning over me, his face a mask of concentration. I blinked, trying to clear the fog from my mind.“Freya” A familiar voice, soft and pleading, called out my name. I turned to see Rafe, his usually stoic face now etched with fear, standing next to Addy and a small group of people. Their eyes were all fixed on me, f

    Chapter 113*Freya*I stood in the grand courtroom, my eyes fixed on Rafe as he commanded the room with his presence. The whispers of the crowd faded into a dull hum as I focused on his every move. He looked every bit the Alpha king, proud and regal, his posture exuding authority and strength. My heart swelled with love for him, and I silently prayed that nothing would come between us again. I took a deep breath and raised my head up to meet his waiting gaze. He was so far away but it felt like he was right in front of me. I didn't want him to do what he was about to do but I knew that he had to. He was the king and it was his responsibility.The heavy wooden doors creaked open, and the murmur of the crowd grew louder. Two guards marched in, dragging Kelly between them. Her hair was disheveled, her usually sharp eyes now downcast and filled with shame. She looked like a shadow of her former self, the weight of her actions pressing down on her shoulders."Bring her forward," Rafe comma
