Cameron's P.O.V A bright light filled the forest, blinding us momentarily as all three of us came to a halt. 'It's her!' Sarah's urgent voice filled my head. 'I can sense her now!' 'Let's change!' I told her and we immediately scattered behind the shadows of the forest giants to change into the t-shirts and shorts that we had been carrying in our mouths. Within seconds, we were running on our feet in the direction of the light. 'Found the house!' I told Sarah as we broke out of the woods and came to a stop at the edge of a property that had a two storied house in the middle of it. The light was coming from one side of the house on the ground floor. It was probably where Freya was. "Ah!" Sarah fell to the ground, clutching the back of her head. "Sarah!" Darcia and I were both at her side instantly. "What's wrong?" "I-It's not m-me…" Sarah managed to groan out. She looked like she was in a lot of pain
Freya's P.O.V "Cameron…" I whispered as he came rushing into the room, followed by Sarah and Darcia. "Freya!" He took a step towards me, but was stopped by one of the witches who came to stand in his way. "Damnit! Move!" "She belongs to us, wolf!" The witch sneered at him. "Leave now! We don't want a war!" "Freya is my mate," Cameron growled back at the witches, his eyes turning a bright golden as his voice deepened. "You called for a war the second you took her from me." I tried to get up from the floor, but then found myself being hauled up by a grip on my hair. "Cameron!" Much to my horror, I found out that it was Maggie who had me in her grasp. "Move out of the way or she dies!" A knife was pointed to my throat a second later, but it had the opposite effect of what Maggie had wanted. Now, even her own coven was alert and angry at her. "Maggi
Freya's P.O.V The doctors were the first to check up on us as soon as we reached home. Physical injuries weren't that big of a deal because we didn't have many. What I was more worried about was my magic. I could now feel it running through my veins like a constant buzz of electricity. It now reigned free and without bounds. Sanaya and Aria had told me about it not feeling foreign to me, even though I had never felt it before. This magic was a part of me, as if it was an extended organ. The seal had indeed ingrained the powers deeper into my veins. Sanaya and Aria stayed behind to check on my magic and successfully confirmed that none of it was actually taken. The blast of light had been the result of my magic finally finding a release after eighteen years of captivity. "You'll be fine now," Aria told me with a pat on my head. "There's no scars or cuts on your scalp where the seal used to be. Now all there's left for you to do is to learn how to c
Cameron's P.O.V "Freya?" Did I just hear her right? I wasn't imagining it…was I? She buried her face in my chest, holding onto me tighter than ever. "Don't say a single word! I've waited for this long enough…if you refuse once again, I swear I'll just tie you up and force myself on you!" A surprised laughter escaped my lips at her words. "You know…if the situation had been reversed, then I'd have been sent to jail." Freya looked up at me then, her blue eyes holding a kind of vulnerability that I had never seen before. "I'm not joking!" Maybe it was the fact that I had come so close to losing her today or maybe it was just frustration that the mating bond hadn't been able to connect for so long…but I decided to hell with patience once and for all. Freya was now eighteen and she was ready for me. I snaked an arm around her nape and crashed my lips to hers. The want to claim her flooded my veins instantly, surpris
Cameron's P.O.V I slept with my arms securely around Freya, perfectly content and happy. The moment that I had felt the mating bond snap into place had been the best feeling in the entire world. My wolf had finally found its other half and I had my mate in my arms. There was nothing that could separate us now and that was how I preferred it to stay. The mental connection had been the biggest benefit of all. The bond now pulsated with a vivid gold light inside my head and I could see Freya's energy intertwined with mine. Moreover, she was now a witch. She had yet to learn to control her powers, but that wasn't an issue. She had her entire life to learn magic now and I was going to be there for her every step of the way. Freya stirred in my arms, groaning as she wrapped her hands tightly around my shoulders. I thought she might be having a bad dream, but then she looked up at me groggily and gave me a smile that melted my heart. "Morning." I whispe
Freya's P.O.V "Up next, Freya Wilder." Excited, giddy and a little disoriented, I headed to the stage and accepted my graduation diploma from the Principal. I looked back at the audience, watching Cameron and Sarah clap the loudest in the audience. I felt a stupid grin stretch on my lips as I help up my diploma in my hands, as if it was some kind of grand prize, before rushing off the stage in embarrassment. Damnit! I really made it didn't I? I graduated from high school. I know it wasn't a big deal for so many people out there, but for me it was. I had nearly given up on my studies, my dreams. I had given up on life itself once. And for me to come all this way…I couldn't believe I was one of the lucky ones. Not only had I made it to high school graduation, but I was well set for college and I was a couple million dollars richer as well. Two days after we came back home to the pack house safely, the witches council came to visit me. It was a huge
Freya's P.O.V I traced the paw prints on the wet sand, tiny little ones followed by larger ones. The larger ones were just as big as my own foot prints. The winds from the sea shore blew my long hair back from my face; I knew they would be hell to untangle, but I wanted to let my hair down for once and feel the wind blowing through them, making me feel free. This took me back to ages ago, when I had once been a tormented teenager, lost and confused; wanting nothing more than to end my life because it had lost all meaning. Today, I had everything I could possibly dream of, everything the seventeen year old Freya didn't even have the luxury of dreaming about. Maybe this was why the saying always went 'it has to get worse before it gets better'. I knew from the experiences in my own life that those words were so very true. I had to stare death in the face multiple times before I could have my happily ever after with my soulmate. Was it always happily ev
Darcia's P.O.V "Baby…" Katherine leaned against my bike, her green eyes narrowed at me as she studied me from head to toe. "You've been very distant lately. Is something wrong?" "No." I gave her an almost half-hearted answer as I drank from my coffee cup. Truth be told, I had been extremely distracted since last month. I had finally turned eighteen, the age at which a wolf was supposed to find their mate. And yet, I haven't been able to find that one person who had been chosen for me by the Moon Goddess. Katherine was an amazing girl and we had been dating for the past year now, but the second I had turned eighteen and found out that she wasn't my mate, everything between us had changed in an instant. I had been trying to figure out a way to break it off with her, without looking like a complete douche, but I was failing miserably in that department. So I went ahead and started being as elusive as possible. Maybe if I'm paying less
