FREYA A Shockwave of electricity or something flickering flew through my body when my hand touched the black wolf, and I pulled my hand away.“I am so sorry,” I whisper, looking at the wolf, but it doesn’t seem to have felt anything, because he just sits there looking at me.I slowly move my hand close until I touch him again, and the soft electricity returns. But it doesn’t hurt, and it doesn’t look like the wolf feels it, so I don’t move my hand again. Instead, I softly scratch his head and ears, and surprisingly he starts purring as if he were a cat, making me laugh a little.“Who knew a big, dangerous wolf could be so gentle,” I whisper.He whips his head to the side and looks at me, then lies on the ground, and I sit down. Letting my hands run through his black fur. And he just lay there with closed eyes.“I hope my Dad and the others make some fast agreements with whoever lives around here. Then he, Leif, and many others will leave again.” I say.“I thought being left here woul
JACOB I am standing under my shower waking up after only a few hours of sleep. I couldn’t fall asleep last night, and for most of the night, I was thinking about my mate and saw her beautiful face in my mind. Gianna came, and she tried to get in, but I had locked my door and pretended to be sleeping, and eventually, she gave up and left.I had already called and requested a phone meeting with the king and was told he would have time at 10.15 AM. That was in 30 minutes, so I had a good time still and took the time to wake up properly. When I turned off the water, I could hear someone at the door again, and I knew it was Gianna.I dry myself and get dressed in jeans and a shirt, and now I hear another voice, Ryan.“Why else would the door be locked.” I hear Gianna complain.“I swear, he does not have a girl in there. He properly just needed some peace. There are strangers on our land, in case you forgot.” Ryan says.“Yeah, right, I bet it is that princess!” She says, sounding like she
JACOB I am waiting for my Dad, Gianna, and Elder Stan, and I Don’t have to wait long for Gianna, who I’m sure was waiting just outside.“Jacob, I knew you would tell me to come in,” she says, trying to sit on me, but I stop her.“Dad and elder Stan are joining us, so sit on the couch,” I tell her, and she huffs but do as I tell her. Just the thought of her touching me makes my skin crawl. And thankfully it does not take long before Dad and Stan are here, and sitting in the chairs.“Why did you call us here,” Dad asked me.“Is it about the strangers?” Stan ask.“Sort of, but it is not what you think,” I say.“Then explain.” Dad command.“Well, first of all. I know you lied and manipulated me, I talked with the king, and he is mildly said pissed off that you would use his daughter who is grieving. And that you told me that he the king, would remove me if I did not choose a mate. And you knew very well I would never risk the princess's life, so you used her to make me choose Gianna, did
JACOBRyan, Silas, and I are walking through the forest towards the forest with five warriors behind us. And I am in my own thoughts, thinking about my mate, of course. I feel like a teenage boy who has gotten brave enough to invite the girl he likes out for the first time.“We here,” Ryan says and after we step just outside the forest we stop.There is a lot of activity in the camp when they see us and many of them come out of their tents to look. After a while, I saw a big man coming out of a tent with two other men, including her, my mate. He points to some of the men, and they move to stand outside the camp, and then he, the two men, and my mate start walking up here.She looks beautiful in pants made of some sort of skin and her top, too. Her hair is partly braided, partly hanging free. She walks confidently next to the man I think is the leader, and it's sexy as hell, and I have a hard time taking my eyes off her. Before I look at the leader, my eyes catch hers, and for a second
FREYAThe three men had just left, and we were walking back to the camp so that Dad could tell everyone the news. The farmers that had gone with us were talking about the lands and were excited to begin. Me? I was walking in silence, thinking about the man Jacob. I had never seen someone like him, and he was so handsome in dark black skin pants and a shirt that sat so close I could see all his muscles. He was tall and strong. When he spoke, you knew right away that he was their leader.I had the urge to touch him so badly, as if I felt something pulling me to him, and when I looked into his eyes, I wanted to drown in them. His eyes had the most beautiful ash-grey blueish color, and his smell, gosh, I wanted to faint. Why was I so attracted to this man? Attracted doesn’t even somehow cover it. It feels more like my entire being needs him.I asked my head, and I could not think like this. I have no right to, and I probably have a woman and kids at home. No, I had to push these thoughts
FREYANo one noticed I had been gone last night, and I could slip back in unnoticed. I don’t know, but I don’t feel the whipping so much anymore. I sneaked into the dark of Dad’s tent and fell asleep on the skins on the floor. But unlike most nights, I was dreaming, and they felt so real.The black wolf was in my dreams, but its eyes were not red anymore; they were ash-grey, blueish, just like the man Jacob’s eyes. And then he appeared where the wolf had been, and he held me close, but not in a demanding way, no, like if he loved me. I dreamed about how he made love to me, soft, intense, passionate love, and then just held me close while we watched the sun go down.I woke up with the strangest feeling in my body and a calm in my heart I had never felt. I looked around in the morning light and saw that Dad was still sleeping, and I relaxed.I stood up took my bow and arrows, and went hunting. It did not take long before I could go back and start preparing the wild pig I had killed.The
FREYAAfter I woke up, I had to be sure that it had only been a dream. There were no bite wounds, and I knew I was being silly. But it felt so real, and some part of me wanted it to be. I wanted to be his, to feel the tinglingwhen he touched me.I couldn’t go back to sleep. I tried, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw him, felt him. So I stayed awake and waited. And thankfully, there were already hints of a sunrise, so I knew I didn’t have to wait for long.I was cooking fresh bread when Dad came out, and he smiled at me.“It smells good, Freya. You have always been as good as your mother at cooking,” he says as he sits down.“Thank you. I had a good teacher.” I say.“Yes, you did.” He says, and we sit in silence for a while“I am sorry, My daughter.” He says quietly, I know what he apologizes for. So I don’t ask.It doesn’t take l
FREYA The boats were packed, and they only needed to remove the rest and their belongings. Some hunters had caught a wild pig and a big deer, so now they are bringing cooked food, while some of us made bread and sorted out the eatable berries someone had found.After eating, I did as I had been told, walked back to the house where I was going to live, and then I waited. Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait for long.“Undress.” That was the only thing Leif said when he stepped inside, and I did as told.He walked around me and looked at me, without saying a word. Until he grabbed my hair and forced me to stand with my upper body lying on the new table. I could see him move around his own clothes with the hand not holding my hair, and then he did it. It hurt a lot, and I could not understand why any woman could love it.I kept quiet, knowing him I said anything, he would get worse. Then he moved away and told me to fi
FREYA “The baby looks just the way it should, Luna.” The Doctor says.“Can you see the gender?” I ask her, and she moves the ultrasound wand around on my stomach.Jacob isn’t here. He left two days ago to help a nearby small pack that hunters had attacked. So I have been here helping Alan with the pack, but today was my doctor's appointment. So I here I was alone, or I thought I was. The door opened, and Laura came in, looking as if she had rushed to get there.“Am I too late?” She asked, and Doctor Lisa and I laughed.“No, Luna, you are just in time. Sit down, and I will see if this little one will let me see if it’s a boy or a girl.” Doctor Lisa said, and Laura sat down next to me and smiled.“Sorry, I’m late. Alan needed help for a minute.” She says.“It is okay, and I didn’t think anyone would be here,” I say.“Oh darling, I wasn’t going g to let you go alone. Plus Jacob would not be happy if I didn’t make sure someone was here with you. And with Ryan and Sophie out for these two
FREYA When I woke up, I already knew what I had to do today. I needed to visit the village and find out for sure what was going on. Jacob was comfortable with letting me go alone so he asked that I would wait for him.While I was waiting for him, I went to see Erik, who now oversees all the weapon training, as I couldn’t risk getting hit in the stomach. He smiled when he saw me come towards them and told them to keep going.“Hello Freya, can’t stay away can’t you.” He laughs warmly.“Hello Erik, always good to see how it is going. But I also have to tell you something.” I say, and he looks at me closely before we sit down and waits for me to talk.“It looks like Ben has taken a small boat to go home,” I tell him, and I see the worry form in Erik’s eyes.“What. How do you know? Didn’t anyone try to stop him?” He asks, and I shake my head.“Probably not. He was the last one to have a warrior experience there. None of the others would know how to hold him back.” I say and he nods his he
JACOB I am out for a run with Ryan and Silas, checking all the weaker spots or more risky spots of our borders. After we were done, we walked back at normal speed, and I felt them looking at me.‘Okay, why are you so disgustingly happy.’ Ryan asks in the open mindlink between the three of us.‘I guess I can tell you.’ I say teasingly.‘Just spit it out, buddy.’ Silas says and laughs.‘Freya is pregnant.’ I tell them.‘What, wow, when was she in heat?’ Ryan ask.‘We are not entirely sure. But we remember one certain time that could have been that. We read that heat for an ice wolf is not the same because the moon wants the wolf to be available if needed.’ I tell them.‘Jacob, that’s good. She will be spared for it. All the wolves I’ve met say that it is not fun at all.’ Silas says. And he has a good point.‘I can't believe I say this, but Silas is right, she will be free of a lot of pain. Having your mate in heat sounds fun, but it really isn’t. So be happy.’ Ryan says.‘Thanks, guys,
FREYA Erik and I have been busy training the pack warriors, but for me also some of the females. And everyone has been doing really good. Erik and I have not been to the small village where my dad’s people are. And we planned to go there today to see how everything is going there.Jacob is busy, but that is okay. I know there have been reports of many attacks on other packs. And Jacob and the other Alpha’s are planning a meeting to see if there is a way to stop it.I met Erik outside the house after I had been in Jacob’s office to tell him I was going. Together, we silently walked through the forest, and Erik seemed nervous.“Are you okay, Erik? You are very quiet.” I ask him.“I am nervous. Not everyone liked that you moved. And now I did, I’m worried what their reaction will be.” He admits.“It will be okay,” I promise him, and he nods his head.“Did it hurt to change? To shift?” He asks, and I look at him.“I won’t lie, yes it did. Why, you ask?”“I asked Shannon if there was any
FREYABecoming the ice wolf was a huge change, and it took me some time to get used to it. I spent many hours learning to understand and control these powers. But I used just as many hours of training to fight in both wolf and human form. I was not used to close-contact fighting as I was always trained to use swords, axes, and knives.Jacob had asked for me to teach those who wished it, how to use the weapons I had. I asked Erik to help me, and luckily for me, he was happy to help. And a lot more wolves than expected wanted to learn.So for now we have two teams each, and one of my teams was all women. Jacob had been worried about this and the women because most mates would do anything to keep their mate out of any possible fighting. But surprisingly many came with their mates, saying times are changing, and they should be able to train and protect themselves. And they are not wrong.After I had begun learning to write and read, I read a lot of books or reports from other packs, they
JACOBIt has been two months since Freya became Luna, and a week after had saved the pup Mike. The packmembers loved her, and I kept hearing about how happy they were.After the attack and how she had used the broom like a sword to fight the rouge, I had been thinking. As wolves, we gave always said our wolf is the most effective weapon. But when I look at the numbers of dead over the attacks that have been written down. I can see that the attacks where we always have dead packmembers an more than other attacks. It is the attacks led by hunters, humans for the most part that fight with knives, swords, and crossbows.I can not help but think that maybe it is time to start learning to use these things. That maybe for some things our wolves are more a prey than the hunter. And with Freya and Erik here now, too, we have a good chance to learn.I have already talked to Ryan and Silas, and they both think I am right, and they like the idea. Plus Ryan thinks that the packmembers trust Freya
FREYA“Freya!” Jacob yells as he comes rushing inside the house shifting back to human. He looked around in the hall we were in, shocked.‘I, I don’t know what happened.’ I whisper in our matebond. But he doesn’t answer. He is looking in the closets along the wall and finds a big blanket.“Shift.” He tells me, and I do, and he wraps me in the blanket.“Jacob, I.” I begin but he stops me by kissing me.“You are hurt,” Jacob says as checks my side where the rouge had bit into.“I was too slow, but I am okay, I think,” I tell him. But it is still bleedingI remembered the small boy and rushed to open the door to the room where little Mike was. And ran into the room. The boy was sitting under a table, and I sat down next to him. Reaching out my arms to him and he crawls into them.“Are you okay?” I asked the little boy, and he nodded his head.“Yes, Luna. Thank you for saving me from the bad man.” Little Mike says.“The rouges are running away. So we are safe.” Jacob tells me, and I stand
FreyaFor the past week, Jacob had taken me out to run every night in wolf form, saying he wanted me to get used to it. To be completely honest, I loved it the speed and the agility of how to move my body. Ash and Winter had been fighting for fun, and it made me think that I never wanted a serious fight to happen. I had the feeling that it would be incredibly brutal.Right now I was with Lila. She had wanted to go see the younger kids and had asked if I wanted to come. I wanted to get to know the packmembers better and wanted them to know me.We were outside, and sitting on the grass while all the kids around the ages of three to six played around us. Now and then, the kids came asking something, like about my hair or asking if I was their Luna. A few girls even asked Lila how they could become a princess, and it made us laugh. Lila told them that they were all princesses, which made the girls squeal and dance.But then everything changed, alarms sounded, and the pack might drink open
FREYAI was a little overwhelmed by all the happy cheers and wishes and happy faces everywhere. I stood next to Jacob and was talking with Lila and Sophie. When my eyes caught the sight of someone I knew shouldn’t be here, crap.“Shit, Shit,” I mumble, walking past the girls but feel Jacob gently grab my arm.“Freya, it is okay.” He whispers in my ear.“But what if someone shifts,” I ask.“You see the woman next to him?” he asks, not answering me, and I nod my head.“She met him in the forest, in wolf form, she felt the matebond and didn’t think, but shifted back to the human right there, in front of him. But all he did was walk over to her and kiss her, he felt the matebond. He explained he is seen as one of your people with a more supernatural mind” Jacob says.“That is true. It was just a shock seeing him here.” I say as we look at them.“He is the one that guided us with the words for the ceremony. I explained him everything about you, and he said he always sensed that there was s
