MotherFreyaOrion got to find out that Ryan had died. Knowing well that Ryan was a man who loved me and still did, Orion didn't hesitate to show sadness over Ryan's demise. Although Lyra didn't take it well. Gabriel had been trying to comfort her. Ryan was a good man. A rare kind. It hurt so bad that I couldn't give him what he wanted. He was my amazing grace. I knew if I never met Orion, Ryan would have been the one. I would fight and die to be his. I had gone to check on my father again. This time his wounds were completely healed but he was still resting. Lauren comes into the room my father was in and pulls me aside with trembling hands. "Freya, I have been waiting for you," she said.Lauren was calling me by my real name now and it sounded weird and nice at the same time, coming from her. "Waiting for me? What's the problem." I asked."I am scared. Something tells me Damian is on his way here.""How sure are you? Why do you think so?""I know it. He told me if I ever got away
Twist of Fate OrionI stood watching the most complicated relationship ever. Nyx is Freya's mother! Fate has funny ways of making our life pretty good at one moment and then messed up at the next. Freya was speechless. She already knew the truth before Nyx revealed it to the rest of us in the room. We were surprised Nyx went to the book after it had fallen just to go to the middle page to confirm something like she had seen this particular book before. We later discovered her name, Nyx was inscribed at the left bottom of the right page. No wonder she wanted to know Freya's father's name so badly.Freya didn't resist Nyx's hug but she didn't hug her back. When Nyx released her. Freya gradually stepped away from Nyx and left the room without words. I understood she was hurting and didn't know how to react to this revelation. I immediately went after her. "Freya," I called, but she kept on walking. "Freya stop! Wait. Where are you going?" I increased my steps.She didn't answer me.
ForgivenessOrionNathan called Nyx by another name. Lily. The surprise was a shock for Nyx. She gets to meet her husband and daughter on the same day."Where have you been all this while Lily?" Nathan glared at her. She said nothing. Her head bent, looking at her feet. Nathan continued. "I thought something bad had happened to you when you never returned after the purge. I waited for you. We both waited for you. I and Freya. You left our baby without a word to me. Did you think that stupid letter you wrote would suffice or explain better about where you were leaving to?"Nyx cleaned her tear-filled eyes with the back of her hand. "I came…back—" she said. Her voice was barely audible. "And you want me to believe that because you say so.""Believe me I did but I couldn't find you and our baby, Freya, in our house?" She stepped forward toward Nathan. He holds his hands up to stop her. "I thought something bad had happened to you two. I heard rumours that those related to witches we
BilozaFreyaEveryone in the room was smiling and having little talks, like nothing between me, my father and Nyx ever happened. I couldn't take part in all the talk, pretending as if nothing happened.I continued to breastfeed Alex and Xandra. I am still hurt from finding out the truth about who my mother really is. My father looked happy though. He should because I could guess that since I was a baby and my mother left, he has yearned for love. He married Sofia's mother, Mira, because he wanted someone who would care for me as a mother. He didn't marry her because he loved her. Unfortunately, she turned out to be a tormentor. We weren't expecting to hear a knock. No one was supposed to find the house, talk more of knocking. The spell was to be active for three days. We all stilled. The knock came again. Klaus stepped forward to check who it was but Orion stopped him. Gabriel motioned him to get back. The knock came for the third time. Orion walked to the door and slowly opened
The trap: Battle for Control Freya"No! I am going with you," I argued. Orion was adamant. He wanted me to stay back while he faced Damian alone. He promised to bring Alex and Xandra back home. Orion lifts my chin to face him. "Please Freya coming with me will be a distraction. I need you to be where I can find you. Damian has proven to be cunning, dangerous and —." "You need all the help you can get. There are rumours that he is forming an Army to force every town to bend to his will." Nyx said, interrupting Orion. Lauren stepped forward. "That power-hungry bastard! I am so stupid to have fallen for such a man. I was blind. Indeed sometimes I hear him speak of an army.""Where do you think this army of his would be? I very well know they can't be in Wolfshade town," Orion said. I gave my own opinion. "I think it will be Moonstone Haven. That will be the base of his army. Tristan is his ally. It only makes sense because that's where Biloza is taking the twins." I kept a straight
In The Enemy's Liar Orion"Good job Biloza." Damian commended, his smile spread from one end of his face to the other."I told you to leave it to me. I could handle them," Biloza said proudly. "I must say. You predicted well. You said they would be here soon. I didn't think it was going to be this soon. And how stupid of them to travel together, right.""Uhmm," Biloza responded. Damian crossed his left leg over his right leg as he sat on a chair that was brought outside not too long ago. "Where are my children?" I growled. "They will be dead if you keep acting like a hero." Damian Snarled. "I am tired of seeing that. I despise your kind. Why do you think you Lycans are better than the rest of us?" "Despicable wolves like you are not meant to lead. You don't even have the wit." I replied. This gets Damian very angry. "Oh. It's about wit now, huh." He turned to Biloza. "Bring Tristan here."Biloza does as he is told. Damian squats before Freya. "Freya. Do you know your mate is th
The Reinforcement OrionIn no time, some of Damian's men came in troops to restrain me. It took a lot of them to hold me down. I fought them until I couldn't anymore. "Now watch your family suffer for your stupidity. Seize them right now!" Damian ordered. His men huddled them up as Damian had instructed. I could see it for myself. He did have an army and they were ready to do his bidding. The men I saw were unfamiliar, they weren't the men who served me when I was Alpha. I wondered where he got these men from. He must have brainwashed them to have them form an army for him. "Lock them up. He would watch them die, one by one. Starting with his half-witch mate." Damian pointed at Freya. "Fetch the twins too."He told his men to line Tristan and Freya up to be executed. Damian forced me to inhale the Lycan Stramonium. I could do nothing but watch. He forced the others to watch how the execution was going to go. The twins were brought. I could hear Alex's and Xandra's whimper. I s
Hidden AffectionFreyaI must be dreaming. How was he here? He carried me in his arms after warding off Damian's men. "Hi, Selena," He said, calling me by the name he first knew me with. It was nice to hear someone call me by that name again. "Or do you prefer Freya?""Ryan! They said you were dead." I continued to stare at him like he was a ghost. He gently puts me down. "I can't die so easily.""Weren't you poisoned?""I and Alpha Kane planned everything. He knew I was going to be poisoned, so he told me to fake my death. We already knew what Damian was up to. Alpha Kane listened to my warning and soon realized Lomy and Damian were plotting something behind his back."I hugged him. "I am glad you are alive. I hated myself after hearing of your demise. I would have treated you better, Ryan." "You being okay, is fine by me."I turned to look in the direction Alex and Xandra were held hostage by Damian. But they weren't there. "Where are you going?" Ryan called out to me. "I can
Epilogue OrionAfter I answered, Kane walked away silently. He ruffled his hair in the process. What was he nervous about?I thought he had gone until he returned with Nyx. "Do it!" Kane ordered her. "Are you sure? What if he isn't the one?" She muttered, looking worried. "Just do it!"I decided to ask rather than stay quiet and wonder what this was all about. "Do what?" "Trust us," Nyx replied. Nyx says a spell. She takes a knife and cuts Kane's palm first. Then mine. As blood pooled on our hands. She placed my palms on top of Kane's, clasping them together.Nyx began to explain. "If you are his lost brother. Both cuts will heal. If you aren't related. The cuts will not. This spell will work on you if you are long lost brothers because your mother is a witch-Luna." This was crazy. Kane, my brother? She said the spell, then ordered us to look at our hands. When we withdrew our hands. There was no blood, no cut and no scar…Without a word. Although surprised as well, Kane embr
The lost childOrionTo my surprise, I realized the man who had Freya in his arms was Ryan. Wasn't he supposed to be dead? I felt jealous when Freya hugged him. I didn't want to view Ryan as an enemy but the fact remained that he was a potential rival. No matter how many times I try to make Freya and Ryan's relationship look normal or harmless. There's this fear I have that Ryan is almost the perfect man for her. He will always be my rival. At last right now with him, she is safe. I focused on Kane. As Kane inhaled the substance unaware of Damian's attack, he struggled. Damian began slicing Kane's skin, tormenting him by creating injuries on him. I and Gabriel kept fighting Damian's men as they continued to come hard on us. Damian uses the opportunity of Kane's weakness to strike him on his chest with a sword. Kane was too weak to dodge or stop it. Damian began to search for the remainder of the Lycan stramonium in his pocket. I wasted no time swinging my sword and cutting Damian
