Blackmailed by the Devil~Freya~Think of the devil and he appears.What a timing. "Damian. I hope all is well." I asked. "Yeah, All is well. I wanted to discuss something important with you. Seat please." He acted so civilly.Although I was scared that I was alone with Damian. With the disturbing information I have about him, it was not safe to be here with him. "I hope you have been well." I inquired. Pretending to care. Maybe he saw through my pretence because he gave me a groggy look. "Do you really mean that? I know you don't care if I fall dead right now. So let's stop pretending. I know what you have been up to Selena." Damian grinned. "And did you hear about Gary?""I learnt he died, moments ago. Why are you informing me about this?""You went to the central prison to meet Gary. And the fool could not help but keep blabbing."Damian knew I had gone to dig into his past. This means he knew what happened to Gary or he was even responsible. "What did you do? Were you the on
Spilling It All To Ryan~Freya~Damian blackmailed me. That doesn't mean I had to hide and stay off his path as he had cautioned. I needed to do something fast. He was not only one step ahead of me but several steps ahead. He was in control. He has everyone in the palm of his hand. He can read their minds just like me or even better. He knows everyone's desires and secrets. It is no wonder he had been able to climb his way fast to becoming one of Alpha Kane's most trusted men. I paced around trying to think about what my next line of action would be. I need to spill it all! I need to. But to whom? Definitely not Alpha Kane, he would have my head on the stake before I was even done telling him everything.Nyx was still sad about her son's demise. It can't be her. If I told her, her son was killed with the help of Damian and Lomy. She would not believe me. Revealing my ability to her will even make things worse. She thinks my mate, Alpha Orion, is the cause of her misery. Little doe
Escaping The Wolfshade Pack ~Freya~As I had expected. Lyra agreed to help me. She said she was all in on whatever plan I had. She confessed that she had been planning to steal the keys wherever they were so she could free Gabriel. Lyra made sure to wait at the spot we agreed on. "Trust me, I will get him out," I told her."Be careful," she said.The keys to Gabriel were with Hendrick, a guard on patrol in the evenings. He usually keeps it draped to his waist. I had to think of a way to take it from him without his knowledge. Hendrick was on his way outside the fort, it wasn't yet evening. I had a chance to take the keys away before his duty started. It would be easier to grab those keys now because I can't do that when he is already back in prison for his duty. After all, that would be too risky and suspicious. After so many replays in my mind on how I was going to take the keys. I confidently initiated my plan. I pretended to be in a hurry and crashed into him with the berries
A Great Sacrifice~Freya~Gabriel growled in pain. There was nothing he could do. The executioner was set to decapitate him.I begged for mercy but it only made matters worse. Lyra comes rushing in with the twins.she must have heard that Gabriel's head was about to be chopped off. "Please don't hurt him. Alpha Kane. I beg of you." Lyra pleaded, she must have inquired about why I never showed up when I promised I would which led her to find out about Gabriel."Aha. So those babies were with you all this time! Bring them here, Lyra." Alpha Kane ordered. Lyra hesitated, she could not stop crying as she looked at Gabriel. A guard held her on the spot and motioned for her to step towards Alpha Kane. She took a step forward. "Lyra, please! Don't give my babies to him!" I cried out. I couldn't stand Alpha Kane taking my babies away from me. They must have known that their mother was in some kind of trouble because they began to cry. Their cries made me want to protect them from Kane.My
Reunion~Freya~Modan is predominantly populated by humans, so we had to behave more humanly than feral. We don't want to get ourselves hurt or killed by frightened humans before we arrive at our destination. Another obstacle to finding Orion as soon as we reached was that we couldn't go from door to door asking if they had seen someone like him, that would be foolishness. "Now that we are here, where do we go next?" Lyra asked. "I think we should look for elder Franklin, the swordsmith. That's the name you Orion wrote on the paper you gave me the day you helped me escape." I told Gabriel. "Yeah, I think we should look for him." He nodded in agreement "But we need to ask around to know where he lives."We asked a few people and they directed us to where elder Franklin lived. He was kind of popular here because it didn't take us long to locate his house. "Good day. Please is this where Elder Franklin lives?" Gabriel asked a young man who answered the door."Yes. I am his grandson
My Fate ~Orion~My breath caught in my throat at the sight of Freya. This isn't real. I thought I would never see her again and there she was standing with Gabriel, who I also thought if I did not act fast, I would never see him too. I embraced her like she could disappear at any moment. "What happened to you?" I asked. She smiled. "A lot.""I thought I lost you." "Won't I get a hug? I went through a lot too" Gabriel opened his arms. This gets us laughing. I released Freya and gave him a brotherly hug. "Thank you for bringing her back.""No, she brought us back. Your Freya is now a strong woman." Gabriel said.I stared at Freya like I was just seeing her for the first time. she looked more beautiful, even with her oversized dress which I was wondering where she got from. "Indeed only a strong woman will be able to birth you two lycan pups." My mom said. She had been holding a baby in her arms. But I was too drawn away by Freya to notice there were two babies in the room. Until
~My first~FreyaI was relieved to see that he was okay. He hasn't changed at all although from his appearance he looks more messier. Although he looked like a good pile of mess.He was shocked to see me standing with the others. He thought it was only Gabriel and Lyra who had come back. I would have bet my last penny in Moonstone Haven that Orion wasn't emotional or rather doesn't allow it to show in front of others. He wasn't called a ruthless Alpha for no reason. But the Orion who rushed out of the house was the complete opposite of the Orion I knew. Maybe because he was Alpha then.I thought he was going to take the babies into his arms when his mother told him the twins were his, but he ran out. "Ooh. He wasn't expecting fate to have this in store for him." His mother said shaking her head. Gabriel went out to check up on him. He was back in no time. I have never seen grown men cry aside, Ryan and Orion. They were men who would give the perception that they didn't have a tear
TelepathyOrionA girl I fell for at first sight. A fragile, helpless maiden now transformed into a strong woman. One I chose as my mate. I couldn't be more proud. She couldn't shift when everyone else could. She was ridiculed. She didn't let that deter her spirit. She eventually came out stronger.When she told me she could read my thoughts. I thought she wanted to pull a fast one on me. But she had all my thoughts bare in front of me. I have heard of the ability of telepathy. But they were rare. Some say they are a myth. But here was my mate, a telepath. But what I didn't understand is that the old Lycan book said for someone to be a telepath, one parent has to be a witch. A werewolf had to copulate with a powerful witch to have offspring with telepathic abilities.But Freya…I had to confirm something. I went to see my mother. "Mother, there's something—" I paused, trying to process my thoughts. 'There is something I must ask you." "Oh. I am all ears," she said."Do telepaths
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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.
