Chapter 15: SorcerersFreya 's perspectiveSilas's towering form emerged at the hall door; his normally perfectly coiffed hair appeared disheveled as though he had hurried over. Leo had materialized at my side, beside me; I hadn't even noticed him at first."Silas!" With gratitude, I sprinted to him, and my racing heart calmed down when I saw him."It's okay, I'm here now." Silas knew how uncomfortable I was right away, so he comforted me by putting his arms around me and speaking quietly."Silas, listen to me..." I tried to explain the issue, looking up at him imploringly as I went, but the worry slowly building inside me made me unintelligible."It's okay, calm down, my love. Leo has told me the general situation."Leo looked fairly ashamed when I turned to look at him. He had an unkempt appearance and was exhausted. "Forgive me for not having the strength to greet you properly, Miss Freya , and it's not easy to keep up with the Alpha." He grinned. "Thank you, Leo," I murmured. He
Chapter 16: Toxic EnvironmentA POV from LeoLeo is my name, and I'm the Embermoon Pack beta right now. One of the most attractive men of our kind, and a strong man, is the Alpha I serve. He will probably be selected as the next Alpha King.But for the last two days, my Alpha has been acting quite strangely. For instance, he was distracted during this week's meeting, which gave the elders and pack members the impression that they had done something wrong, and earlier, over lunch, he started to stare up at the blue sky in a daze.I summarized this month's activities and the significant ones slated for the following month while standing politely in my Alpha study. "That's all for this month's meeting," I said.However, it seems like my Alpha was silent. I cleared my throat loudly before continuing because he was reclining in his chair in a trance."Alpha?""Yes, Leo?" Luckily, he hadn't lost consciousness and realized I was standing there. "I was curious," he remarked as I took out my
Chapter 17: OmegaPOV Of unknown At the Ironclad pack, I'm just an average Omega who always goes about my own business and lives honorably.Our Pack flourished after our Alpha's only daughter wed the Alpha of the Nightfall Pack, and the two packs collaborated to improve everyone's life. Within the wolf packs, Miss Freya and Alpha Lopo were uncommon chosen mates, and their strength was formidable. We had a lot of fans and advocates who were willing to stick with us through thick and thin, at least for a while.But that day, everything was different.That was the day I first learned that Miss Freya had attacked Alpha Lopo 's guards on her wedding anniversary, that she had poisoned Lupa Scott, Lopo 's new lover, causing significant injuries, and that, as if that weren't enough, she had fled with the Alpha of the Embermoon Pack.Our pack's reputation suffered tremendously as a result. The associated packs claimed that Miss Freya was a rogue, envious, and irrational woman, and many of th
Chapter 18: The NecklaceFreya's perspective"What are we going to do, Freya?""To be honest, I haven't figured that out yet."I'd started investigating nonstop after swearing to discover the would-be assassin, but nothing had turned up. I sighed and fixed my gaze on the plate in front of me."Freya, When you're eating, be mindful of your manners.""Yes, of course, sorry father."My father's abrupt voice took me aback; he remained the same strict disciplinarian who would not allow me to stray from the rules."How's the Alpha of the Embermoon Pack?"I was momentarily taken aback. My father bringing up this subject surprised me because Soon. My father didn't seem to be very hopeful about Silas's business, even though I told him about the disarray in the pack, and he believed me when I said I wouldn't be so jealous as to poison Lupa.Before speaking, I put the cutlery in my hand and wiped my mouth. "Silas makes a wonderful father. He gave me an expensive sapphire necklace and a tonne of
CHAPTER 19 VariationsPOV of FreyaI sat in the car, trying to make sure I looked as flawless as possible for the first time in a long time when I saw Silas. I kept adjusting my collar and straightening my skirt."Don't be so nervous, Freya.""I just don't know what to say... what to do with him.""Are you in love with him?"I was squirming nervously when my hand paused, and Chloe's remarks left me a little taken aback. Did I love Silas? My heart would naturally race anytime he was around because he was my destined partner. He was the other half of my soul; the moon goddess had selected him as my lifetime mate. He was incredibly strong and ideal.But he was also an Alpha, a very strong one at that. "Everyone you love will leave you." How long would Silas's love for me last? Lupa's words reverberated in my ears like a cruel curse, and I couldn't help but think of the six-year relationship that was squandered with Lopo. The Embermoon Pack's palace was in sight before I could comprehend
What's Wrong in Chapter 20?POV of FreyaHaving heard Silas's nervous explanation, I could make more sense of what had transpired and was immediately entertained by the whole situation. "It seems that I have misunderstood you a lot.""Freya, don't worry. You have plenty of time to get to know me better on your terms." He answered with a grin that stretched to his eyes.I noticed a rapid change in my expression when he said that. I had no idea if Silas and I would be together in the future. I was only an ignorant lady who had been harmed by witches and misled by her husband, while he was a contender for the title of great Alpha King and had a large, strong pack and an exquisite, gentle mother.Silas picked up on my altered mood immediately, and because I didn't respond, he moved the conversation. "I wanted to invite you here because I still have something important to say.""Oh?"He guided me to a chair so I could sit down by taking my hand. He stared at me as he poured me a cup of tea
CHAPTER 21: Another ChanceSilas 's ViewI sat at the banquet table and looked at the food that had been made for Freya and the flowers and candles that the staff had put together with great care. I let out a big sigh."Why did Miss Freya leave?" The question came from Leo as he walked in out of the blue, his happy face making me mad."Get out!" He stopped in his tracks, and my snarl made him smile a little less."All right, Beta. You seem a little angry right now, and it's clear that you don't have anywhere to let out your anger. I will return after some time."Why are you getting angry at Leo?""Am I not allowed to be annoyed by his face occasionally?" Is it against the law for me to dislike him?""How about we find a woman to...you know, get some of our frustration out with?""No, I do not want anyone else." I love Freya the most."I knew I was madly in love with Freya even though I had only spent a few hours with her a few times. It wasn't just because she was my Fated Mate; every
Chapter 22: Meeting of the AllianceFrom Freya's Point of ViewSilas took a seat where he was supposed to be and kept quiet. He didn't say anything about our connection or keep standing up for me. I knew he was giving me a chance.I stood up and quietly put my clothes back on. I looked around the room without showing any feeling, and then I saw Lopo's shape. I didn't think about him for too long, though. Instead, I called out, "Hello, everyone. My name is Freya Brown, and I am the only Alpha heir of the Ironclad Pack."Again, everyone was looking at me as I spoke. "I don't think there's any rule in the Alliance Regulations that says women can't go to meetings," I said. If your view of me is so limited that you only see me as a lady and not for what I can do for the Alliance, I'm sorry. You will regret it later because of your bias. It wastes my time and energy to talk about nothing and insult each other like the rest of you do. I will only do something if I think it's important, and
