Chapter 8 RomourFreya 's povI was awakened by an agent murmuring, and when I gently opened my eyes, I saw that I was sprawled out on a big bed. It had happened that I'd been changed from my dirty evening gown into cozy, very soft-feeling clothes. Compared to what I was used to at the Nightfall Pack, the content was significantly different.Two maids were standing in front of me, watching me suspiciously."Ahh! Freya , you're awake!""We were on the verge of rousing you! We assumed that since you had already skipped breakfast and lunch, you would be hungry."I blinked, observing the sun high in the sky through the window. The next day, I couldn't believe it was already midday. Had I truly been so disoriented from dozing off in the van and getting into bed that I had missed everything?Howdy. Freya Brown is my name, and I'm a member of the Ironclad Pack." I sat up, put a nice smile on my face, and said as pleasantly as possible. I was raised with good manners and the understanding th
CHAPTER 9: Forever MateFreya's perspectiveSilas's eyes followed the entire length of my body, and I felt the heat of their stare as soon as I stepped before him.My wolf cried happily, "I can feel his excitement, Freya!""Chloe, I can sense your excitement too," I said icily.To lighten the mood of our first encounter in such an official environment, I reached up and smoothed down my hair.As was customary when visiting another pack, I lowered the skirt of my dress to curtsey, but he stopped me with a soft smile. Silently, I observed him as he brought out a chair and motioned for me to have a seat.He whispered, "You don't have to salute, curtsey, or bow to me, my mate," as he pushed my chair toward the table, and I sat."Oh, right. I'm grateful. "You look amazing in this dress, by the way. It looks great on you."I could hear the staff members giggling as Silas looked at me with adoration, and his undisguised affection made my cheeks flush a little. The personnel here, in contrast
Chapter 10: OwnershipFreya's perspectiveI was a little surprised when I fixed my gaze on the whore in front of me. Her hand continued to rest on the dress I had been examining. It was a really beautiful design.I see, Freya. I didn't anticipate seeing you here." Lupo spoke softly, continuing to dress like a prostitute and project the image of a victim."You should show some respect," I said, keeping my palm firmly on the dress and squinting my frigid eyes at her.For a brief period, Lupo appeared surprised, her large, doe-like eyes welling up with tears as if she would cry at any moment.Freya, stop being Luna! You are no longer Luna! Get over making fun of her!" As he approached to get Lupo out of her bow, Lopo's words could be heard, and he gave me a terrible glance.Silas's bored yet mildly annoyed tone interrupted me as I was ready to respond. "Why have these losers been allowed in?" The clerk shifted to one side, shivering at our intense tension. "I'm sorry, Alpha Silas, it's
Chapter 11: A StrategyLopo 's perspective"This is incredibly upsetting, Lopo ! How unjust that is!"Lupo had been sobbing in my arms nonstop since we got back from the clothes store, and my head was racing. Nothing positive has occurred since Freya's departure.I had promised Lupo that there would be a great succession ceremony a few days later to announce that the Nightfall Pack had a new Luna, so two days ago, I requested Lupo to step up and take on her responsibilities.But I hadn't thought Lupo would make such a mess out of relatively straightforward issues that Freya had handled so well.Initially, she made such a mess of the guest list that packs that I had previously been friendly with nearly fell out with me over it. She then acted inappropriately at the dinner table until I intervened, at which point she would turn to face me and give me that intense stare.But my fucking wolf Hugo would be yelling at me to treat her better in my brain the moment I dared to be even slig
CHAPTER 12: She is flawless in every waySilas's perspective"She is charming, Bleddyn,""Hey, you've said this same thing at least eight hundred times already. Pay attention. In all the years I've known you, I have to be honest and say that I believe this is the most you've ever talked to me."I sat silently in the car, staring at Freya in her new attire and rolling my eyes at my wolf's remarks. She had chosen another dress that she had fallen in love with, and the shade of lilac she had chosen suited her perfectly after the two pieces of garbage had been hauled out of the store.The more I looked at her, the more I felt like I could drown in those chocolate-colored eyes, and what made it even more exciting was knowing that, as I had witnessed that day, they could change into a seductive, enigmatic purple when necessary."Why do you keep staring at me?""Because you truly are stunning. There was no way that even the moon goddess herself could measure up. My admiration for Freya over
CHAPTER 13: UncertainFreya's perspectiveWith one of his big hands firmly clutching my waist and the other already wandering down to rest possessively on my ass, Silas's warm breath tickled the back of my neck. We were close, and the combination of the smell of cedarwood and his hot breath against my skin sent a delightful shudder through my entire body.With my arms slung freely over Silas's neck, I lost myself in his sight, whispering enthusiastically to Chloe.I returned to the room Silas had set aside for me just thirty minutes prior, following the banquet. Soon after arriving, I heard a tap at the door, and upon opening it, I saw Silas standing there, holding a fragile box."Can I come in?" He questioned quietly."Sure," I replied, grinning a little. After getting to know him over the last few days, I felt comfortable bringing him into my bedroom because I didn't think he would try to take advantage of me."Is something wrong?" I asked with a gentle smile on my face. "Nothing i
Chapter 14: bullyFreya's perspective"Try not to worry too much, Freya.""My father will be fine, right, Chloe?""I've never met Freya. I cannot reach him via the mental link at this time.""No... it can't be..."Silas had the car ready for us, so I took a seat. He was getting everything loaded up when he leaned in to give me a farewell kiss. I gripped the window tightly and sat nervously in the back seat, hoping Leo would hurry up.Leo had only learned that my father had been poisoned a few minutes before. I had to return immediately because the Ironclad Pack was in a terrible state.Even if Silas would want to accompany me and help me, his sudden appearance in the middle of another pack that would normally be unruly would cause more chaos. I had requested that he remain. With some reluctance, he had agreed to stay behind and wait for me at the palace.However, how was it possible that my father was poisoned on his land? That wasn't very sensible. Once more tainted wine? My thought
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
