Freya's POV Three days after Ivy visited me in captivity, I was rudely awoken from a nap by noisy bustlings and murmurs."What are you still waiting for? Untie her this instant!" I heard someone yell and I instantly flapped my eyes open to see what the ruckus was all about.A choked gasp forced itself out of my throat as the sight of more than ten guards greeted me, including the nice one that had pardoned Ivy for sneaking in."What is going on?" I tried to mindlink him but he just averted his gaze from mine."Don't tell me he told Alpha Luciano about Ivy sneaking in." Ana bristled.Just as I was about to reassure my wolf that the guard seemed trustworthy enough, three guards moved closer to unshackle me from the pole.A grim thought which I was desperately trying to ignore encroached my mind, causing me to shiver fearfully.Were they taking me to the scaffold? Was I going to get beheaded like I had seen in my nightmare?I desperately hoped I was in another nightmare again as they ci
Luciano's POV I frantically tapped the railings on the balcony as I scanned through the spectators that had gathered in front of the palace to watch Freya suffer.On seeing her, a slight smirk curved the corner of my lips.She was a bloody mess and looked rather helpless lying on the floor as the guards destroyed her skin.Rather than the satisfaction I had initially thought I would derive from watching the omega weep as she got whipped, a weird feeling stirred up within me.It was almost like I felt guilty.As soon as the thought crept into my mind, I shook my head as if to rebuke it.Guilt? What the hell was that?I never felt guilt for putting criminals to their places.Never. It just wasn't possible. Also, it wasn't as if Freya didn't deserve what was happening to her.She deserved it all for failing to assist with the investigation and lying instead that she had mysteriously lost her memory.The method of torture I had chosen for her was even lenient because I had initially wan
Freya's POV Just as I took one final breath and was about to cross over to the other side of the world–a place where pain and horrors didn't exist.A place of heavenly serenity where I'd get reunited with my parents, I heard light footsteps and I chuckled to myself.Luciano had probably come to finish me off by himself.Moments ago, his egoistical gamma had come with a physician to assess the severity of my injuries but had given me a condition before the physician would treat me;I had to confess to a crime I didn't commit–I had to tell him that truly, I had killed the dowager luna.In response to his utterance, I had just laughed and told him not to bother treating me.For all I knew, he could have been lying.I didn't trust one thing that left his lips; he couldn have been sent by the alpha to take advantage of my severely injured condition and lure me into making a confession under duress.When he noticed that I stood my ground and wasn't planning to confess, he had left with the
Luciano's POV "Brother!" Darius emitted a hearty guffaw as he let himself into my study.My gaze dropped to his hands and I allowed myself a small smile.Darius was holding a bottle of brandy which met only one thing–he was extending an olive branch and trying to bury the hatchet between us.To repress the grin threatening to ruin my icy mien, I pursed my lips into a thin line as I walked up to him."What brings you here by this time of the day?" I asked with a raised brow, ignoring the bottle of liquor in his hold.His face fell for a split second before his usual gleeful smile stretched his lips again."Is there a time limit for me to visit my brother now?" He asked, setting the liquor on the table before trekking away in search of something.Probably glass cups and a bottle opener.I shook my head as I recalled how he had rushed into my bedchamber after our tussle three days ago, and had profusely begged me to let Freya go.I was extremely pissed by our fight earlier that day that
Freya's POV With anxiety coursing through my veins, I dragged my feet to the kitchen where Madam Sheila, the head maid, was assigning duties to the omega.Six days had passed since I was miraculously released from the confines of the dungeon and it still felt like I was in a blissful dream that I was really scared to wake up from.My broken arm and wounds had also healed nicely.Ever since I had started working at Luciano's quarters, I hadn't gotten a slight glimpse of him, and it made me wonder if he truly lived at the palace."Ma'am Sheila." I bowed to her when she finally got to me.As usual, she ignored my greeting and started listing out my chores for that afternoon."Clean the guest bedrooms in the whole of this wing. Make sure they are all spick and span because I will do a thorough inspection when you're done. Now get out of my sight." She snarled, and turned to the next maid.I bowed to her even though her back was facing me before retrieving the cleaning supplies and making
Luciano's POV I sighed as Mia whimpered into my mouth, sending sparks of electricity into my sex-addled brain with my boner straining painfully in my pants.Without breaking the kiss, I unbuckled my pants and promptly discarded it before peeling off my tank top and flinging it across the room, with a swift urgency that stunned me.Never in my life had I been so close to the edge and in need of an immediate orgasm like I was at that moment.The dim amber lights from the ceiling also helped by setting a passionate ambience in my bedchamber. I couldn't see her face clearly in the torrid darkness of the room, but for some reason that only made me hornier."A-Alpha," Mia mewled when I detached my lips from hers to run my tongue over her plump breasts.They looked extra sumptuous and huge that night which aroused me even more.Never in the past six years that I had been having coitus with Mia had I felt so aroused by her body.The gentle curves of her body felt so soft and delectable like
Freya's POV The electrifying feeling of something long and moist lapping at my wet entrance drew me out of my slumber with a choked gasp escaping my mouth.A confused moan slithered through my lips as I found myself subconsciously arching my back, in order for the thing to gain more access inside me.The thing then slid into my core without warning, prompting me to mewl sensually and flap my eyes open with a start.My mouth hung open like a fish out of water as I beheld the sight which I wasn't mentally prepared to see even in my wildest dreams–Alpha Luciano was kneeling between my legs and eating me out.Was this a dream? Had my wolf suddenly gone mad that I was having such a vivid and arousing dream?It was then I recalled how I had walked into the alpha's bedchamber unknowingly while I was deeply engrossed in my thoughts.I choked out a cough as I further remembered Luciano pushing me on his bed and calling me "Mia" while we mated through coitus.The rest of my thoughts wafted awa
Luciano's POV I groaned, annoyed as blinding rays of sunlight diffracted through the window and seeped into my eyes.Muttering a string of curses underneath my breath with my eyes still squeezed shut, I reached for a pillow, so I could use it to block the sunlight and get more sleep.However, the other pillow was occupied to my total befuddlement.It was then I recalled the mysterious arousal that had befallen me the day before while I was drinking with Darius and how I had texted Mia to come over."What the fuck are you still doing here, Mia?" I scoffed, flapping my eyes open.I forgot how to breathe as my heart stopped instantly on seeing her.The chuckle that left my mouth sounded strange even to my ears as I frantically scrubbed my hand over my face to ascertain that I wasn't daydreaming.That Freya wasn't lying naked in my bed with her hair disheveled and a stunned countenance etched into her face.That the omega who could have possibly murdered my mother wasn't the woman I had
Freya's POV "Are you ready?" Ivy asked, getting rid of the last piece of clothing shielding her nakedness."More than ready." I grinned–I had quickly stripped naked and discreetly pasted a skin plaster on my neck to conceal my mating mark, immediately we entered the woods.I was more than determined to keep my complicated issues away from Ivy as I didn't want her to worry about me like the mother hen that she was.At twenty, it was quite a surprise that Ivy was still yet to find her fated mate.I was already in deep trouble because of the plates I had broken, so I thought I might as well go against her orders, so that I won't feel too miserable when she came back and unleashed her fury on me.After sighing blissfully, my bones shifted as the hair on my skin morphed into fur, and my limbs multiplied.In the past, Ivy had described my carnivorous counterpart as an averagely-sized white wolf with a set of crystal-like orbs that exuded an exotic aura.I let out a loud howl as Ivy also sh
Luciano's POV "The rogue is dead, Luciano," Darius uttered, gazing down at the illumination from his phone. "Reginald just sent me a text.""Damn it." I muttered, pursing my lips into a thin line.I couldn't give a fuck about whether or not the rogue lived, but the fact that he had kept the true murderer's name to himself until his death, infuriated the hell out of me.Last night, I had paid him a visit at the dungeon and had asked him to tell me the murderer's name to get the remedy to his gunshot injury which had turned a disgusting green and had maggots crawling out of it.However, to my utter frustration, he had remained mum about it. Even after I dealt him several blows on the head with the log of wood I had found lying around in the dungeon."That rogue is the most stupid idiot I've ever encountered. He just wasted his life for the fucking murderer. He could have simply confessed, now see where his fucking loyalty has landed him." I howled, trekking into the palace room where t
Freya's POV"Oh, fuck." I quietly cursed as the pile of ceramic plates slipped out of my hold and crashed to the floor.I knew for sure that Madam Sheila would have my head if she found out about what my clumsiness had caused.Gazing down at the ceramic shards, I heaved an exasperated sigh."Why is this happening to me?" I muttered before crouching to pick up the broken pieces of ceramic lest Ma'am Sheila decided to suddenly drop by.Thankfully, she was on a trip to her son's or so I heard, so I could say I was safe for the time being.Plus I was the only one in the kitchen–the other maids were outside doing only what the moon goddess knew."Those plates were gifted to the late alpha by a neighboring pack and you had the audacity to break them, you stupid wench." One of the voices that I dreaded to hear at that moment broke into my line of hearing and caused me to freeze for a split second.I had celebrated my luck too soon."They slipped out of my hands, I swear. I don't even know ho
Luciano's POV "Alpha." I heard someone call while simultaneously knocking on the door.I was in the midst of getting ready to attend the pack council meeting. It had been quite a while since I attended one due to the fact that I had been either postponing the meetings or asking Darius to go on my behalf.My mother's sudden death had broken me that bad, coupled with the fact that I had mated the omega who could be her killer.Thinking about it made me want to dig up a hole and bury myself alive inside it.Six days had passed since the ugly mistake that should never have happened, occurred between Freya and I.And the amount of self hatred I felt toward myself was still immeasurable. The fact that Killian also made it a point to always remind me of it at every chance he got didn't help matters either."Are you in there, Alpha Luciano?" Another voice wafted into my bedchamber.This time, the voice was unmistakably Reginald's and he sounded quite impatient.I stopped knotting my tie as I
Freya's POV My legs felt like huge slabs of lead as I waddled toward the room that I shared with three other maids.I couldn't believe what I thought had transpired between the alpha and I had truly occured–everything felt like a scary illusion.It felt as if I was merely making things up in my head. However, the pleasantly painful sensation in between my legs coupled with my aching back made me think otherwise and yanked me back to reality.My neck was also sore due to the way Luciano had strangled me earlier.I would be the most stupid person in the world, who didn't value her life to blabber about having sex with him to the other maids.Hell, we weren't even on speaking terms, so how would I even tell them?Plus, I knew what Luciano could do and I was also aware of the fact that he was a brutal and egoistical psychopath that could truly kill me and whoever I had decided to tell."We are now mated to him." Ana growled within me."I know," I whined. "I should have stopped him. Now,
