Chapter two: chosen, yet denied.

2025-04-11 22:26:23Finnick's pov
Still boiling with fury, I headed straight to the pack house from the woods.
The scrunch of leaves under my boots echoing the mayhem in my thoughts.
How dare the moon goddess? How could she pair me with a weakling.
My wolf growled and agitated with me__matching close to pack house. The cliff structure emerged ahead of me, a sign of authority and dominance, yet it felt like a prison tonight.
The fragrance of that girl lingered as I walked through hallway, increasing my rage.
She was lucky I had more pressing issues to handle, or I wouldn't have allowed her Togo scot free for standing before me as my mate. A weakling before the strongest and most feared wolf of my clan.
Approaching the entrance of the pack house, I saw the towering stone walls staring like silent sentinels, keeping the world out. The air smelled cool and the scent of night lingered in it, the trees whispering in the distance. My mind was heavy with thoughts of what awaited inside. My mother. Luna Margot.
In the pack there was none who bore a greater fear than my mother. Her authority was absolute. Her word was law. She ruled with an iron hand and her protection of the pack's patrimony was the supreme goal of her life.
She was pack loyal when it was convenient but if anything came along that threatened her control she would destroy it.
In her training I learned to be powerful strong. To lead a pack. To be leader. But behind a perfectionist façade she was manipulative. She taught me how to keep up appearances. How to keep them afraid. How to be in control. At any cost.
Even in her human status, she radiates the authority of a garnished alpha. Her piercing sharp blue eyes locked onto my fury sight, I could tell the what's beneath her from her composed exterior.
"Alpha finnick Logan,"She said, her voice calm and clipped.
Luna Margot,My beta, my mother.
You’ve been celebrating joyfully, I see,” she said, looking at me. She had an even tone, but there was a cliff to it that made me shiver. “Interesting choice, coming back so late. Did the celebration in the woods make you feel … good?”
Swallowing, I knew what she was asking. Her nonchalance wasn’t fooling anybody. She knew what had occurred. She knew I had rejected freya, and I could see the anger in her eyes.
“I did what had to be done” I responded, trying to make my voice confident.
"I heard what happened over there.
Of course, she had. I wasn't shocked, news travelled quick in the pack, especially when it had to do with an alpha rejecting his Luna. I didn't bother hiding my fury and frustrations. "Okay, now what of it? You of everyone should know the reasons behind my actions". I snapped quickly, my voice harsh and steady.
You rejected her, Finnick? She was the one who was to become your mate? What did you want to prove? That you are strong? That you are not weaker than anyone?” She shook her head, and her eyes flashed something dangerous. “Do you think I do not know what you did?"
flinched, the weight of her words hit me like a rock. She never spoke in that way. Never in that tone. The power she gave off was like a blanket, smothering me.
I opened my mouth to speak. She raised her hand to silence me.
You’ve wrecked all of it,” she murmured, so softly that for a moment, I wondered if I’d caught her correctly. “She was supposed to be a perfection for you. She was supposed to fit the mold, to be a strength to this pack. You’re too reckless, Finnick. Your emotions have overshadowed your ability to see.
I paused for a moment, running my hand through my soft hairs. "I won't accept a weak Luna by my side. You've always stand on it. Not now. Not ever."
Her eyes narrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line. Her arms tightly crossed over her chest. " I understand finnick. But that doesn't mean I accept the way you let things played. Make a mockery of her? Humiliating her in front of everyone? That's below you finnick".
Her expressions softened, but her eyes remains steady. " I've always said and wanted you to have a strong Luna, yes I know. But power isn't just about control. It's about leadership. You may have rejected your chosen Luna but the way everything played out speaks low of you, not her."
Those words struck a nerve, but I don't know care how it reflects on my life.
My mother stepped closer. "I know you're angry, I know you feel awkward about everything, feel of being played by the moon goddess. But don't let it blanket your judgement. You are alpha finnick Logan, your actions have repercussions weather you accept it or not."
I turned away hiding my gaze from her. At some point, she was right and I hated to admit. Openly admitting to this proves I had made a mistake and that I wasn't ready for. Not yet.
"The deed is done mother," I finally uttered, my voice low. " I am not going to apologize for rejecting her of course. She's not what I want. Not what the pack needs now."
My mother read through me for a second, her eyes searching. Then she nodded in agreement, satisfied for the moment I guess.
"Great" now, go freshen up. You look horrible like you've been fighting with the entire wolf all night."
I gazed down at my appearance__dirts and dried leaves clinged to my clothes and hair, torn shirts. She didn't lied. The thought of Freya flashed my thoughts again, sending wave of anger through me.
"I'll see to that," I said, turning to head upstairs with shame and fury boiling.
As I stepped few feets away from her, her voice stopped me. "Finnick Logan"
I halted and turned to her. "Mother"
" Remember one thing, the moon goddess does not make mistakes or play with something of such importance. Even if we don't accept her choices, they're always valid reasons behind."
I didn't utter a word. The idea behind pairing me with a nobody was laughable. Her words kept a repeating sound in my mind as I made way to my room.
Dashed into my room, I stripped off and walked into the shower, allowing the water to wash off the grime and loitering scent of my so called Luna. Her wide, scary eyes. The way she had stood boldly before me, even when I'd mocked her shamefully.
My mother was right at some point. I needed to be a better wolf, not just in power but in my character too. But that didn't mean I had to accept someone unworthy of me. I, alpha finnick Logan will never settle for less.
I stepped out of the shower, making a decision for myself.i vowed to find a brace, strong and powerful Luna who is deserving of my position. And I would go to any length to defy the moon goddess herself, if she had other plans for me. I would sculpture my own route, no matter the cost. I had
a pack to lead and a reputation to guard, not even the moon goddess would stand in my way.

Freya's pov Next days merged in fog of pain, tiredness and misunderstanding. I was alone, completely alone. The pack had abandoned me, and Finnick...Finnick refused me, called me weak, worthless. His words tortured my mind. I heard them all the time and could do nothing with this. But there was more. Something had been woken up inside me, in the forest. Something powerful and I could not pretend I did not feel it.Further into the forest I go, away from the territory of the pack and in search of the truth.Trees rise up, their boughs twisted like gnarled skeletal fingers that are holding onto the sky. The atmosphere is tingling, my hairs stand up from my skin. The earth is like it's moving under me, responding to my every step.My power is wild and restless, like a storm that I have no idea how to control or even what it is.The night grew older and I had settled in for the cool night, I felt it. The drift in the air. The flames in the hearth shattered unnaturally and the hair on skin

Freya's povA week had elapsed, and I still could not decide what to do. The power in me increased daily. The forest spoke to me and the trees obeyed. My sense of hearing, sight, and smell improved. Nevertheless, Finnick's refusal was painful, and I could not get rid of the memory of his words.Then one night I felt it.The pull. The bond. Finnick.I had tried to push it away. But I couldn't. The connection was undeniable. I had thought he had forgotten me. Clearly he hadn't. He was out there. Somewhere.But to face him again the idea of it, the thought of confronting the Alpha who had shattered me, was terrifying. I could not run forever. I could not hide from this. I could not hide from what was happening to me and what I was becoming.That night, as I inched my way toward the pack's territory, I saw them. A group of wolves, Finnick's wolves, patrolled the perimeter. Their eyes scanned the shadows."Oh, What are they looking for?"And then, just as I turned to exit the corner, I fel

Freya's pov A scary figure jumped into the moonlight, its gigantic shape looming over us like a hurricane. My breath stuck in my throat as I took a glare of it. The enormous creature was too huge, its terrifying dark fur, black as night, its eyes blinking an uncanny eerie amber. I froze, powerless to sprint my gaze from the huge beast. "Is that...?" I mumbled, my voice low over the resounding of my heart. Finnick’s expressions had void of color. He matched back, his hand instinctively stretching for the dagger at his side. "That's him. Kade’s leading in reinforcements."The words struck me like a thwack to the gut. My mind bolted, trying to bring together the nightmare unveiling before me. Kade. Yes of course. This was his doing. He’d been waiting for this day—the day when Finnick and I were at our most unguarded. When we were at each other's throats, when our trust was wore out. I smelt the blood splash to my face, fury exploding in my chest. "You...You brought this upon us," I s

My voice trembled with the strength of my conviction. "I won't allow it."The creature took one more step closer, its massive paw lifted from the ground ready to fall.And in that moment, everything changed. The atmosphere seemed to crackle, ground under me seemed to hum with energy, and I could feel the power in me as never before.But I did not know what would be next.I did not know if I had the strength to stop Kade, or if I had lost everything.The scary figure stepped into the moonlight, its gigantic shape lurking over us like a hurricane.

Freya's pov I didn’t hear him coming. I felt him.The air warped. It turned bold, heavy like every breath I took had to twark its way through a storm. My heart picked up a race, thundering against my ribs as the scent of steel and smoke curled into my lungs. I knew that smell. Even after all these years. Even after I'd buried the memory of it, deep like a corpse beneath my skin.Kade.I spin around, already reaching for the surge of power accelerating in my veins, but it thrashed wildly, like it was waking up from a long deep sleep. No—like it was trying to protect me from him.He stood just before the clearing, the moonlight gleaming across his face. That smile… gods, that damned smile hadn’t changed.“Hello, Freya.” His voice was low, smooth, and terrifyingly calm. “You’ve grown into it nicely.”“What the are you doing here?” I smacked, fighting to grip my balance as my power tightened inside me. “How did you find me?”“hmmm,You make it sound like I was haunting you,” he said, stepp

The first thing I observed was noticing my breath, fast and shallow, as the cold was cutting me like a knife. The moon was seen high in the sky gleaming silver dim light through the trees that created a spinning ghost shadow. My Heart was racing, pulse was pumping and blood vessels surging through my veins.Kade's voice was a new wind in my mind, unyielding: "Come on, Freya. Take your claim to your birthright, or die as a pawn in Finnick's war."Kade's invitation pressed on me like a bee Sting. I wanted to shove it off, I wanted to destroy everything Finnick had spent his life building, I wanted him to suffer for the agony he inflicted on my family. But there was also obligation, and a heavier feeling pulled me. My pack, my people needed me."Make the right choice, Freya. For once in your life, make a good choice."Kade's voice was not just a temptation, but a promise of power, and of control. Power that had been out of my reach for far too long. But was I ready to pay the price? How

Finnick povI used to think I knew what loyalty meant. That my pack would always stand by me. That love could protect the people I cared about. But everything changed the night Freya disappeared.She didn’t just leave. She was taken.Kade, Alpha of the Hollowfangs stole her. He tricked her with promises. Promises to help her control her powers: shadows and the strange energy of the moon. I don’t know if she followed him on her own or if he pulled her in somehow. But she left. And when she did, it felt like the moon itself had gone dark.For weeks, I searched everywhere. Through forests, rivers, caves, any place where she might be. I followed the trail of her magic, asked rogues for clues, begged the stars for help. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.Then, one night, I found something. A raven landed near me. It was dying and in its beak was a message.'She’s stronger now. You’re too late.' Kade.I tore the note apart. I didn’t believe him. I won’t ever believe that it’s too late to save her.

A warning, Or a beginning.I staggered, and Finnick reached to catch me, but before he could__Everything disappeared.The dungeon, the walls, the wolves. All gone.I stood in a wide field, dark and quiet, under a sky full of stars. The air smelled like ash and frost. My heart thudded.

No one was there.And then the field changed. The stars blinked out. A mirror appeared in front of me, tall as a tree.

Finnick's POVI never expected to see my mother gain.But there she stood, Luna Margot in the middle of the broken wall, lit by moonlight, silver eyes glowing like fire. Her long cloak blew in the heavy wind, and her face was dark and hard as stone.She looked at Freya, lying still in my arms. “Step away from her,” she said coldly.I held Freya tighter. “She saved me.”“You don’t deserve her,no you don't” my mother replied, her voice sharp. “You left her once. And now she’s dying for you.”My throat tightened. Freya’s skin was cold. Her chest barely moved. But she wasn’t gone—not yet.“You didn’t come all this way to scold me,” I said. “Help her. Please.”Luna Margot came closer and knelt beside Freya. She held her hand above Freya’s chest.“She’s stuck,” she whispered. “Her soul hasn’t left, but it’s lost. She gave too much power, too fast. It’s burning her from the inside.”“There has to be something—”“There is,” my mother cut in. “But it’s a choice. A price.”I nodded quickly. “An

My mate.She stood bold in the doorway, gleaming in the torchlight. Her hair was wild, her Amber eerie eyes-fierce. She didn’t look like the girl I once rejected and called waif. She looked powerful. Like a queen.“Freya,” I whispered.Kade came in behind her, smiling like he enjoyed this. “Touching, isn’t it?” he said. “She came for you. Even after everything.”Freya ignored him.
