The Lord of the sins Chapter 10
FREYA When I woke up, I first perceived the strong smell of herbal juices in the air. The room was eerily quiet, and as I attempted to rise, a wave of pain shot through my body. I collapsed back unto the bed, only to force myself up again upon realising I wasn't in our chambers. Memories flooded back: the castle tour, the discovery of Lord Ethan's chambers and my banter and fight with Karen. Did I really go unconscious? My eyes travelled around the room and I discovered I was in some sort of hospital bed. There were some trays which held some liquid in small glasses at the far left side of the bed, and at the right side there was an array of fruits. The room was sparse otherwise. I started to get up again, ignoring the sharp pain in my arm. I paused for a moment and looked at the areas where I felt pain, and discovered it was completely healed and only had some tiny scars. Confusion swelled within me. I'm pretty sure my wounds are not supposed to have healed so quickly by now
The Lord of the sins Chapter 11
FREYA My heart raced after Draven told me the reason we were going to the throne-room. I know Karen must already be waiting there, and I could picture the expression on her face as she bowed her head low while waiting for my arrival. I wondered what I was going to say. I wonder what Karen had told them already. But I didn't really care. If things go half as badly as I think it would, I will tell the Royal family exactly what has transpired between our two. I raised my head to look at Draven as we walked. He was still holding my hand, and he hadn't said a single word ever since. I wonder what was going on in his mind. Why hadn't he inquired about the reason for our argument beforehand? Why didn't he ask me directly before we got to the throne-room? “D-draven…” his name blurted-out of my mouth. He looked at me with those mysterious eyes of his. “You can ask me if you want. Don't you want to know the reason?“ I asked, having a feeling that this wouldn't end well. He chu
The Lord of the sins Chapter 12
FREYA I watched with awe and disbelief as Draven dealt with the three guards. After all the scream and shrieks had died, he walked up to me and took my terrified hand without saying a word. We were just outside of the Throne-room now. But I knew the occupants of the Throne-room had surely heard the sounds the guards made. Draven started to drag my hands but I stood frozen in place as I stared at the shapes of the lifeless guards on the ground. To my horror, the three of them had a sudden wolf shadow ascend from their body before they turned into ashes. “Let's go,” Draven's voice thundered in my ears, and I almost tripped and fell from the force in which he dragged my hands. He started to walk me through the long halls, and I kept looking back in shock. Why did he come back to save me when he had just told his father that I wasn't his responsibility? And was he going to take me back to our chambers after what he just did? I kept looking behind me as we walked and Draven sudde
The Lord of the sins Chapter 13
FREYA My desperate mind wrapped my hands tightly around Draven's waist as we rode out of the castle. He was going at a very fast pace—almost as fast as the night before—but I didn't dare complain after all he had done. The wind gently tousled my hair as the horse carried us forward, and for the first time since I arrived here, I felt truly alive. Occasionally, I pressed my nose against Draven's back to inhale his intoxicating scent, and a smile crept across my face as it calmed my nerves. It was almost dark now. We had since passed the busy villages and seen people in a frenzy as they cleared the way for our horse. Once, the horse almost collided into a cart of fruits, but the old man quickly pushed it out of the way and fell to the ground bowing. And that was when I discovered they knew who he was. We also passed the chapel where our wedding took place and I gasped at its towering height, getting a mix of different emotions as I remembered the events that transpired there
The Lord of the sins Chapter 14
FREYA After the fire-light turned off for a second, it suddenly turned back-on again, and I fought the sudden urge to scream. I shut my eyes and felt Stace and Susan's touch off my skin. It seemed they stepped far away from me. “M-my Lady… we're sorry for scaring you,” said one of them. “We're not supposed to say that name because of its adverse effects, but we had to since you wanted to know.“ “I'm fine,” I replied, my voice breaking because of the cold. “Just get me out of here.“ I heard their footsteps approach me and they helped me get out of the tub. They towelled me dry and then applied a lotion on my skin that made me regain my warmth. Afterwards, I was led to the wardrobe where they helped me put-on a black night-gown. Stace and Susan then led me back to the room and helped me braid my hair in two. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. I suddenly realised I never told them my name and turned to do so: “My name is Freya, by the
The Lord of the sins Chapter 15
FREYA I was taken aback by Draven's unexpected kiss, but for some reason, I couldn't react. His lips were warm and his tongue delicate as it plunged into my mouth and explored the corners. I found myself leaning in, shutting my brain from all the negative thoughts and enjoying the sweetness of his lips on mine. His hands moved from my neck to my back, where he grabbed me and pulled me closer to him. Something in my stomach coiled as his hands explored my back and suddenly tore-off my nightgown in the blink of an eye. A moan escaped from my lips at that, and I wrapped my hands around his shoulders for the sake of my sanity. My body responded to his every touch positively, yelling and screaming for more. Heat radiated my skin as his hands circled around my naked back and descended to my bosom. Draven abruptly raised me from the edge of the bed. He carried me to the middle and dropped me there, breaking the kiss for the first time. I fought to catch my breath as I looked int
The Lord of the sins Chapter 16
FREYA I awoke to the sounds of chirping birds, turning around the bed to gather some energy before raising up. My heart fluttered in happiness for some reason I couldn't pinpoint, and it was only when the blanket moved a little from my chest that it dawned on me that I was naked. Memories of last night flooded back, making me flush in realisation. I made love with Draven for the first time. My own husband—the man I loved! I swept the blanket to cover me completely, feeling my warmth return as I closed my eyes and recalled how he worshipped every corner of my body, the burning effect of his touch, his eye colour changing, and how he was patient with me. It's a shame that he had awakened before I did. And he'd been caring enough to wrap me with the blanket. I had a sudden burst of hope and joy in my heart—I'm sure he has changed his mind about me. Maybe things would work out for the better soon enough—maybe he'll eventually come to love me like I loved him. Maybe I could convin
The Lord of the sins Chapter 17
FREYA I inwardly cursed the world in anger and frustration as I stepped back into the house. I had thought things would be better and steadier when we got here, but I was wrong. Draven had reverted to his cold demeanour. I confirmed that when he casually mentioned I wouldn't have to worry about Karen's presence and left without another word. What could be the reason he brought all his soldiers here? He couldn't possibly be planning to accommodate them since the house wasn't very large. My hopes shattered in an instant and I crashed to one of the chairs in the sitting room. Does he care about me at all? Am I the only one that feels the connection and the sparks between us? Didn't he feel the tiniest bit of emotion after our intense love-making the night before? Just how insensitive is he to bring the same woman that caused us to leave the castle to his personal home, just because she was his general? As the thoughts ran through my mind, I heard the door opening and closing. I

The Lord of the sins Chapter 23
FREYA It didn't take me long to realise that Karen had been the one to yell "stop." I couldn't fathom her reasons, considering the immense respect she held for Draven. She wouldn't dare interfere in his affairs. Almost all hope had slipped away when Draven, surprisingly, released his grip on me and stepped back. His eyes returned to their usual black hue. His gaze shifted from the ABBADON sisters to me, and genuine anger spread across his features. What had happened during my absence? What had I done wrong? Draven walked away, disappearing majestically from our sight. Stace and Susan remained seated on the ground, trembling, avoiding my gaze. Karen distanced herself from them, staring into the sky. I was left bewildered and isolated once again. “Karen… please, what happened?“ I implored. Karen shifted her gaze from the sky to me, her expression as though she were meeting me for the first time. "Why did you leave?" Her question sent a chill of regret down my spi
The Lord of the sins Chapter 22
FREYA I tried to scream and wiggle against the strong arms around me but it was useless. I couldn't make out my surroundings as my view was clouded with darkness. Whoever had seized me possessed both immense strength and an ominous, otherworldly power. My breath started to dye down, the air so hot that I exhaled forcefully to keep myself conscious. Draven had warned me not to move, but I didn't listen. I wouldn't blame him if he left without saving me from… Suddenly, I fell flat to the ground, my nostrils enveloped by the smell of fresh grass. My chest heaved as I tried to catch my breath, and I thanked God for saving me for yet another time. I abruptly got up, and found myself staring at Draven who had a blank expression on his face. Subconsciously, I turned to look around and see the person who had grabbed me. But the forest was still, the sounds and smell of nature persisting like I had imagined what happened. My heart raced in panic and confusion, seeing how Draven's gaze
The Lord of the sins Chapter 21
FREYA A deep root of fear gripped my heart as Draven said those words. He was going to make me regret running away from him. But why? Shouldn't it make him happy since he once said he hated me and promised that I wouldn't last long? As he walked into the forests with me in his arms, I gripped his arms tightly for fear of slipping out of his hold. He seemed really frustrated and enraged, like coming to save me was the biggest inconvenience he'd ever had to deal with. My body shook and vibrated occasionally as the experience of the past minutes repeatedly played on my mind. Draven has saved me from different troubles more than two times now. First from the castle guards who were going to “let me rot in the dungeon”, and then earlier today from being harmed by Karen's angry wolf, and now he has also saved me from being raped—all in the space of three days. A teardrop slipped off my eyes as I thought of those things. I had lost all hope back at the stream but he still came
The Lord of the sins Chapter 20
DRAVEN I was outside talking with my men and putting them in order when I felt the aura emanating as a result of the name ABBADON being said out. I didn't want to leave my men so I looked around for general Karen so she would go in and manage whatever was unfolding. But surprisingly, she was nowhere in sight. It was only after inquiring from one of my men that I learnt she had since entered the house. My heart raced at the thought, because I knew general Karen was one of the people that hated their kind the most, and on a personal level since her younger brother had been killed in the war against them. And general Karen was also a Red Wolf, a special and rare breed of wolves that never gave up until the blood of their opponents touched the earth. With those thoughts gnawing at my mind, I hastily and quietly walked into the sitting room and caught the exact sight I had expected before me. General Karen had tossed one of the Sisters to the wall, and let the other one suff
The Lord of the sins Chapter 19
FREYA My heart throbbed in panic as the ferocious-looking wolves advanced towards me. They were four in number; all lean, brown and hungry looking, like they'd managed to escape from a cage where they were locked for months. Chills ran down my spine as I noticed one of them lick its mouth, like he couldn't wait to get a taste of me. I started to move slowly, my hands outstretched as I prayed for a miracle to happen. They all seemed bent at catching their prey and there was definitely no way I would escape without getting caught. I would have jumped in the stream, but my whole body is so weak that I'd definitely drown since I didn't have enough energy to swim. A wave of heat swept past my system, digging a pit of dread in my soul as I realised being able to get out of this would be too much to hope for. They continued to approach me slowly, their growls taking a toll on my courage as I equally stepped back slowly. If I was lucky enough, I would reach one of the tallest r
The Lord of the sins Chapter 18
FREYA My heartbeat slowed in relief as I saw Draven before me. I had no idea how he got here, but I couldn't care less. If he had been any later, I might have been lying in a pool of my blood by the time he finally arrived. Subconsciously, I looked at the floor, wanting to assure Stace/Susan that everything would be fine and help her get up. She looked exhausted, sweating profusely, tear marks still on her cheeks. I was about to speak to her but noticed she wasn't meeting my gaze. Instead, she was looking behind me. I turned at that instant, expecting to see Draven raging mad and going to help the other girl whom Karen had tossed to the wall. Instead, Draven stood still, his right hand placed on the head of Karen's wolf. There seemed to be something going on between them—a strong connection. It felt like Draven was speaking to her soul, trying to calm her down and assure her that everything was alright—that scaring the life out of me and hurting Stace and Susan was alright. H
