Freya's P.O.V I had sent Julian off to a friend's house that night, for a sleep-over with one of his classmates. I hadn't realized that his friend's mom would be so welcoming when it came to Julian; turns out, they really liked Julian and I hadn't even realized it. After all, just because the entire place hated me didn't mean that they felt the same about my five year old brother. But I knew something was wrong the second we stepped out of the van and were stopped at the gate to the humongous estate at 132 C.R Avenue, around eleven o' clock at night. "You have an invite?" One of the two guards at the gate asked us, their brows furrowed as they looked us up and down in disdain. "Yes," Jeremy took out the card from the envelop he was holding and handed it to the guards. "We're here to deliver food." The guards exchanged questioning looks as they both came forward to study the card. They were both tall and muscular and dressed in
Freya's P.O.V I followed behind Derek hesitantly, each step making me feel like I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life. But did I really have a choice now? I couldn't turn back even if I wanted to. Roger might have forgiven me after my dad went and threw a tantrum at the restaurant, but this time, I don't think he'll be as forgiving. If there was one thing Roger hated the most, it was the wastage of food and now, because of me, a hundred orders of burgers and fries was going to be wasted, probably donated for free and from Roger's own pocket, if I didn't manage to earn the three thousand dollars that Derek promised in exchange for wanting me as a server. 'You're a fool!' My mind told me. 'He promised you nothing and you'll be regretting this decision as soon as you step inside the building.' But even if I was the fool, I couldn't let Roger and his restaurant suffer because of me. The gated estate sprawled for acres on each side, consisting most
Freya's P.O.V The minute I stepped inside my house…I knew that my father was back. Several of the furniture's were overturned and the house looked like a tornado had hit it while I was away. Broken plates and vases, papers and god knows what else lay on the floor. I stepped inside carefully, making sure that I didn't step on anything important. My father was back for money and this time, he was desperate. Still a voice in my head asked, 'when was he not desperate for money'? He had made gambling his entire life and I was tired of cleaning up after him. I was done dealing with his shit. A crashing sound came from my room. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I stayed put. He wasn't just invading my privacy, but he was also destroying things that were precious to me. I didn't want to be anywhere near him at this point. As the stench of alcohol filled my nostrils, from the champagne that had dried on my clothes, I rubbed my arms to stop the shiver. I didn'
Cameron's P.O.V "Good evening ladies and gentlemen!" Sarah's father took the microphone to make an announcement. "The moment you've all been waiting for is here! Please welcome the birthday boy and his beautiful date onstage." 'I'm so sorry.' Sarah told me via the mental bond. 'First the dress and now this…I don't think he understands that mating bonds can't be forced.' 'It's alright.' I smile at her outwardly as I kept up the mental connection. 'Let's just get this show over with.' 'Yes, everything will become clear in a few seconds.' Sarah added as I got on stage and helped her up. The crowd, that consisted of all unmated women of the pack, from teens to young adults, started counting down the time left for my birthday. I took Sarah's hand and looked at the crowd with a smile, but no matter how I tried, it felt suffocating. When Sarah had appeared at my house, wearing a dress that had the same design as my jacket, I knew that it
Cameron's P.O.V The shock of the mating bond forming and the full force of the imprint had left me speechless; and before I knew it, it had already been too late. Derek had poured his drink on top of Freya's head, making her a laughing stock among the teens. If my father hadn't been there to intervene, I don't know what I would have done. But he stopped me from going too far with Derek and now, I was wondering if I even knew the boy who used to me my friend! I arrived at the street with the old rundown houses and moss covered fences in less than twenty minutes, but as soon as I entered the neighbourhood…something seemed off. I looked out at the two storied house which I knew was hers and got off the car. But then I paused mid-step. What was I going to tell Freya when I saw her? What could I possibly say to ease her hurt? To make her humiliation go away? Fuck! I really screwed up! I walked up to the front porch hesitantly, unsure of what I was going t
Cameron's P.O.V: I raced through the forest that led to the pack grounds. I wasn't going to use the front entry as it was going to be surrounded by guests who were already told to leave by my father himself. I don't know what happened to Derek, but I was sure that father would take care of him too. He was a fair and just Alpha and he didn't differentiate in punishment, even if it was his own son. 'Tell the doctors to prepare a bed and be ready to receive a human patient,' I telepathed Alex, as he was the only one I could trust right now, apart from Sarah. 'Inform Sarah too. I'm nearly there.' I hadn't trusted myself to take Freya to a human hospital. I needed her to be near me, around people I could trust to treat her well and people who wouldn't disobey my orders. That wouldn't have been possible at a human hospital. And with the wounds that she had, there was no doubt that it would get the police involved. I could protect her better. Freya was unconscious by t
Freya's P.O.V: A slow beeping sound woke me up from a deep slumber. At first, everything in front of my eyes was hazy, unfocused, but slowly, as I blinked several times, still feeling the drowsiness wanting to take over me, lull me back into a deep sleep. But I fought the urge. Something felt wrong…different. And it scared me. Forcing my eyes open with all the strength I had, I looked up at the clear white ceiling and immediately knew that I was no longer in my own house. My house was falling apart, with fine cracks spreading like spider-webs on the ceiling and paint that was crusting off. This ceiling looked brand new and well kept. Fuck! Was I in a hospital? I remembered what had happened at the party…and then getting almost beaten to death by my father… Shit! Julian! Did he come home to find me like this? Did his friend's parents take me to the hospital? NO! Fear like I had never known before gripped my heart in its i
Freya's P.O.V "You have a lot of questions, I can tell." Sarah guided me back to the bed I had woken up in. "And I promise to answer as many of them as I can, but I need you to be open-minded about this, okay? Can you please do that for me?" Open minded? I wanted to laugh so badly at everything that was happening. I was pretty sure I was either already dead or hallucinating. Cameron could turn into an animal…a wolf! Sarah and his friends were all wolves. And even after what had happened, I still felt more comfortable with Sarah, despite her admitting to being a wolf. All these had to be a hallucination of some kind…right? "Have I gone crazy?" I asked Sarah instead, stopping in front of the bed as she went to shut the door to give us privacy…or probably to kill me without anyone noticing. "Of course not!" Sarah came forward to place her hands on my shoulders. "I'm so sorry you feel this way. Cameron and I didn't
