Chapter: Chapter 113 (The last chapter)Freya's p.o.v The foggy air I could feel with my senses as my hand hope to find his headstone as usual. After a few minutes of searching, I was able to finally find it. I released my walking aid and settled gently beside the grave. Coming here each day is like an appointment I can never miss. One I should never miss. Today makes it exactly a quarter century, zero month, twenty five days, two hours, five minutes and zero seconds since he left. Twenty five years have passed since the death of my beloved Lucien and the news of his death really broke the life out of me. Especially knowing I had caused his death and it could have been prevented. I had been furious and mad at him for taking my Aunt's life and had cursed him. Even though I never meant it—and as insignificant as I thought it was—that was all the curse needed to win. Akira had confirmed Amarantha's revelation of Zephyrine's last statement before her death. She had intentionally created the chaos between Lucien and I

Chapter: Chapter 112Very few years later... "Heaven Lucien, I am pregnant. Have you no shame," Freya said as Lucien's teeth teased her neck as they cuddled atop the parapet, knowing fully well where he is driving at with his actions. "Ofcourse, I'm fully aware, dearest." "You don't want Salvatore coming to find his parents getting naughty—," Lucien's continuous teasing only made her gasp the more. "—or people seeing their king—" "Seeing their King getting naughty with his mate on his twenty fifth birthday you mean?" he sucked the bare of her skin this time, his tongue tickling her as his arms wrapped around her waist from behind. "Or are you scared your own body might betray you...again, my dearest Freya?" Even though Freya was a sucker for his clinginess and crazy obsession over her, she couldn't help but think about the fact that Lucien's crazy act feels somewhat improper. Not in front of the waiting crowd at least. Many months have passed since Zephyrine's death and the peace reigning over

Chapter: Chapter 111Freya's p.o.v It seemed like a kind of gathering was going on with everyone chanting and slurring out curse words, their hand in the air and in protest. I trudged through the gargantuan crowd in the market square to the very free center. And there, I saw him. Lucien. But he wasn't alone. HIs eyes were fixed intently on a figure tied to a pole with a pyre under. The clear clench of his jaw was sufficient enough to understand the turmoil residing in his heart. "You broke your promise," Lucien said as though he could feel my presence even without looking my way. At first, I was confused but as I tried to speak, Cassius interrupted me from nowhere. "I'm so sorry, brother. But she wouldn't let us not. We had no choice," he retorted with utmost respect. Lucien's gaze softened the moment his eyes met mine and the sinister laughter from the figure tied to the pole filled the atmosphere. "Oh, so you consider him your brother now, Cassius," she mocked, "pathetic hypocrites. You and

Chapter: Chapter 110Freya's p.o.vI stormed into Alpha Reid's throne room with Amarantha, Ryka and Akira running behind me, hoping to stop me. Alpha Reid and Cassius seem to be in the middle of a conversation as I barged in but the moment they set eyes on me, they halted without hesitation. And I could see it in their eyes, the whatever secret they all seem to be holding back about Lucien because neither Lucien nor Kael seem to be around."Your honor—," Alpha Reid tried to be cordial as though all is well, but the awkward smile on his face was such a terrible enemy."Where is he?" I felt my anxiety taking over again. "Your honor," Cassius chimed in, "Lucien is fine. It's not as you think —""He didn't go to Shadow pack without me, did he?" I glowered at them all, cutting him off curtly. The betrayal on their faces and silence was all I needed to take that one ride down to Shadow pack."We couldn't afford to endanger the future heir, your honor," Akira finally revealed. "Alpha Lucien wouldn't let no one

Chapter: Chapter 109Freya's p.o.v "I have seen it too, your honor," said Akira, "the dark days of Luparia. The day Zephyrine rules." Akira's revelation only had me swallowing, wondering and hoping that what she had indeed said about my dream was true. She had made me realize that my dreams about Lucien being killed by Zephyrine and her controlling the storm could have different interpretations. In Luparia, dreams may have different meanings and may not even be as they are shown or even remain as mere dreams with absolutely no meaning. Just like I had thought Lucien would hate me if he found out about my true identity. The atmosphere in the chamber room shifted, the warmth of the sun's rays unable to pierce the icy dread that gripped my heart. A chill ran down my spine as the words echoed in my mind, refusing to be silenced: Lucien's death. The connection was undeniable, a thread of foreboding that seemed to tighten around my chest, making it hard to breathe . My mind was a whirlwind of question

Chapter: Chapter 108Zephyrine's p.o.v Bleurgh! I retched into the bowl in my hand, the blood smeared on my hand like a crimson glove. Damn it! That bitch Luna. How the hell did this even happen? How could I have possibly come in contact with her tears insomuch I let it flow through my veins. Ever since that night I had taken the mead from Lucien's goblet, I had been nothing but more of a mere lycan and less of a great witch that I was. And I knew it was all because of her. Freya! Her tears is not only Lucien's strength and weakness but also my weakness as well. Lucien has been gone for weeks without any trace and so is Kael. It's not as if I care, but I still can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that this could have been planned out and neither was it a coincidence. But by whom? Kael didn't sell me out, did he? I mean...he had come back the night before Lucien went missing and had also disappeared alongside him the morning after without any trace. Not them. Not Freya. Lucien didn

Chapter: Chapter 100 (The last chapter)Freya's p.o.v I gasped mentally as his chest rose in response to his breath, his tone abs were just as perfect as I last remembered. I snapped out of it, reminding myself of reality. And what the hell was he doing here knocking on my door at this hour. "What are you doing here, Ethan?" "Junior had woken up. He seemed scared of thunder and had to pet him back to sleep but then..." a cruel, sinister smile crept up his lips again and it just wasn't getting funny anymore. But wait, if he was here now...no, it can't be! "Then what?" "I had heard you call out my name..." he leaned forward, his eyes roaming mine and sending a jolt of electricity down my spine, "and I felt I needed to heed your call, Freya." My hand fell weak against the door knob as Ethan's manly scent hit my senses, disrupting every balance in there and causing my core to throb badly. God! I hate it when this happen. With my weakness fully exposed, he gently opened the door, taking slow strides closer to

Chapter: Chapter 99Freya's p.o.v The burning flame crackling in the fireplace in the living room could barely match the heat already building inside of me for him—at the mere look of his ever captivating blue eyes and honesty. "No, Freya," he reassured. "I never had any idea about the letters. I had received the same letter from you telling me to move on and that everything we shared and had was a lie not knowing I had been lied to by Martha. I never knew you were pregnant after I left, Freya." I swallowed, my gaze shifting to the cup of hot tea I had made in his hand, before settling on the one on mine. "I had gone with my grandma to share the good news with Martha and your family but was received with so much contempt and disdain by them, including your father we made me believe there was no way I could mean anything to you." He was as twice as much a victim as I am in the whole of this situation. But to think he had reopened my grandma's death case behind my back was something I never expe

Chapter: Chapter 98Freya's p.o.v My heart overflowed with unbridled joy as Ethan walked into Juliana's house, our little boy in tow, and I was relieved to see they both made it out unscathed, except for a few minor scrapes. "Mummy!" Junior came scurrying towards me, his little legs moving as fast as they could, and I couldn't help but drop down to my haunches, arms wide open, to receive my little bundle of energy with a warmth that only a mother's love can offer, relief washing over me now that he's safely back in my arms. The circumstances surrounding Damian and me have led to an arrangement where I've had to entrust our son's care to his father for what feels like an eternity, a stretch of time that far exceeds our usual routine. Yet, what's truly shattering is the realization that this decision, one made with the intention of doing what's best, might have put my child's well-being and safety at risk, a thought that's absolutely unbearable to me. I'd be eternally in Ethan's debt, forever grateful

Chapter: Chapter 97Ethan's p.o.v Martha's voice dripped with venom as she continued, "Since you've chosen to walk into this alone, leaving that... woman behind, I see no reason to drag this out any longer." A cold, mirthless smile twisted her lips. "She's merely fortunate her own fate's been postponed – for now. But make no mistake, her time's coming, and it won't be pleasant." A chill coursed through my veins like ice water as Martha's words hung in the air, her eyes glazing over with a detached calculation. Her fingers, steady as stone, wrapped tighter around the gun's grip, the metal gliding into position with a soft, ominous click. The trigger waited, a hair's breadth from unleashing its deadly payload. Adrenaline surged, overriding fear, and I sprang into motion. My instincts screamed at me to act, now. Reaching behind me with a speed that caught me off guard, I yanked the pistol from its hidden holster and swung it up, aiming point-blank at Martha's arm. The muzzle flared, a deafening crack s

Chapter: Chapter 96Ethan's p.o.v We arrived at a location with a half-demolish and what look like an abandoned building staring right back at us from afar. The police parked the saloons at a discreet area to avoid notice. Officer Mark, the head of the operation disembarked and everyone of us followed suit. He gave out orders to his colleagues to surround the whole area without warning except on his command. "I should go in first," I said to the officer as he aimed to take the lead. "Jane is my ex. I know what she's capable of and I can't afford to watch things go spiral real quick especially with my son's life at risk. She can be that cruel." Officer Mark did a double take at the building afar and then me. "Are you really sure about this, Sir?" I nodded. "I've never been positive about anything my whole life, officer." Officer Mark gave me the go ahead but as I took one pace, he stopped me. "Wait," I turned. He handed me a pistol. "You might just be in need of this. You never can tell

Chapter: Chapter 95Freya's p.o.v The officer's words hung in the air like a challenge, his expression a mask of calm curiosity as he reappeared in the doorway. "I think we already found the location," he said, turning to leave the room in haste. "I'm coming with you," responses Ethan. "Me too," I added. The officer's expression turned stern, his eyes flicking between Ethan and me. "No, Mrs. Freya," he said, his tone gentle but unyielding. "That would be dangerous, considering the fact that you are still in shock and all. You're in no condition to be traipsing around, putting yourself at risk." He paused, his expression softening slightly. "You can be rest assured that with the current information in our care, your son will be found and brought home safe. We'll do everything in our power, I promise you that." His words were meant to be reassuring, but they fell flat somehow, like a promise made by a stranger. "But she had warned me not to inform the police. She'd—," I tried to disagree with th
