Chapter: Chapter 25Freya's p.o.vA cold shiver ran down my spine at Lyra's revelation and I could literally feel my heart in my mouth that very moment knowing my father has a connection with Lucien's curse somehow."How... How do you mean, Aunt Lyra?" my breath hitched. "How is that ever possible?"Aunt Lyra held her chest, slowly drifting back to meet Elara and I at the table. "Your father was the reason for Lucien's nemesis. It all started a long time ago before you were born, before your mother left Luparia to homine."I blinked repeatedly, trying to grasp a thing about what I had just heard Lyra say. "I...I don't understand.""Your mother was a member of the blood moon pack—the last piece. And she had always wanted a life outside Luparia. She had always been so inquisitive about a lot of things and Luparia was no exception for her. There, she met your father and that was the beginning of everything.""The beginning of everything?" I felt my brow raise sharply."Your mother was mated to Odessa's son.

Chapter: Chapter 24Kael's p.o.v The dungeon's door creaked open, and the sound echoed off the cold stone walls. My eyes narrowed, my gaze fixed on Amarantha as I stood at ease in front of her with a tray of food on one hand, and the other hand behind my back. The scent of bread and watery soup wafted through the air, a meager offering for a whole future queen of Luparia. My eyes met hers, and I nodded slightly. "I've brought you sustenance." My gaze lingered on Amarantha. I dropped the tray of food and turned to leave. "How unfortunate that you are letting your wolf die of its needs while she's living her best life with her mate," her statement made me halt. "You wouldn't even bow to me anymore because of that bitch of a Luna. Where is your loyalty? And wasn't she the reason why you had pleaded with scar the other time to help you get at the Slave market because she was your 'mate'?" My breath hitched, a gasp evident at Amarantha's statement. Yes, Freya is my mate. She had been my mate since th

Chapter: Chapter 23Freya's p.o.v"What was it about, Freya?""It was a storm. But it was no ordinary storm. It was being controlled by a figure —a girl. She seem so angry and her anger was a replica of the storm's intensity. It was so intense that it caught me up in it but each time I struggle to stand back on my feet despite its intensity, I kept falling. It was as if she wanted me dead, but I didn't.""Oh, God," Katherine's hand clenched tightly on her chest. "Your honor, why didn't you tell this to the Alpha King?""I couldn't because... because I wasn't the only one in the storm. Lucien was there too and he was...he was swallowed by the storm even before I could stop it," tears brimmed from my eyes. "I'm so scared Katherine. And I have learnt at Madame Selene's house that seeing a storm in your dream isn't a good omen. I'm so scared for Lucien. I don't think I can accept the fact that anything would take him from me aside the path he has chosen, Katherine. I love him. way too much, I'd sacrifice my

Chapter: Chapter 22Freya's p.o.v "Tell them the Alpha is busy," Lucien shouted at the voice that had come to call him. "Infact, today's meeting is cancelled. Tell them all to converge tomorrow." The man left. "And you," he turned to face me after slamming the door shut. "Come here." I chuckled lightly as Lucien nibbled my ear from behind me as we face the large mirror in his chamber. It's been several weeks and he won't just let me breathe. It's been one form of sex and intimacy to the other. He could barely hold it together around me, especially whenever we are alone. He nearly had me done right in the court room the other time following a discussion on Alpha Reid's situation with the Elders and Luparia at large. Alpha Reid, King of the Northern pack, is Cassius's cousin through his father and there's been a verified rumor that he's been building an army with his cousin to dethrone Lucien sooner. I fear that Lucien might get hurt and God forbid something bad ever happens to him than the curs

Chapter: Chapter 21Freya's p.o.v My breath seized and I gasped as Lucien's masculine hand found its way up my thigh, his finger slightly brushing my core. The tingling sensation made me tremble a bit even as his lips continue to work on mine. His hand caressed my thigh before moving up to my hip, then slowly to my breast and now my neck. I could hear Lucien's loud moan as he deepens the kiss. He withdrew. Our eyes still locked onto each other. His hand gently tugged down my dress strap, taking off my gown, tossing it to the ground and leaving me only with my corset. Lucien's pupil dilated at the sight of my cleavage. I am a little bit chubby in nature and I have always admired my curves each time I stare at the mirror in my room. Sometimes, I feel so insecure about my body especially my boobs. I find them somewhat too big for someone my age. I blushed as Lucien continue to stare at my pushed up boobs from the corset and I do not know if it was due to embarrassment that they are quite big or t

Chapter: Chapter 20Lucien's p.o.vFreya's infectious laughter filled the chamber as we finally arrived from the court following Amarantha's verdict. She seems so happy knowing Ian has been finally vindicated even in death and I couldn't help but admire as she bask in the pool of serenity, swirling around in a playful manner before finally landing on the bed. Her breath heavy due to uncontrolled level of happiness.I watch as she combed her long wavy hair with her hands, pulling it up playfully."This feels so unreal," she chuckled, sitting upright and bouncing on the bed to meet my gaze. "Thank you, Lucien."She grinned, taking slow yet enticing steps towards me by the door. Her large eyes shone brightly as she stood right in front of me. The howl of my wolf felt so intense and restless but I know I need to control myself. Damn it, Axel. Just a little more patience. "Thank you for hearing me out," her eyes twinkled as she said. "You have no idea how much this means to me, Ian and Helen or Madam Selene

Chapter: Chapter 24Freya's p.o.vI stood at the arrivals gate, scanning the crowd for a familiar face. Juliana had called that she will be returning from her dreamy honeymoon in Santorini, Greece, and I couldn't wait to hear all about it. As the passengers from her flight began to emerge, I spotted her bright smile and waved enthusiastically.Juliana's eyes lit up as she saw me, and she quickened her pace, her luggage trolley rattling behind her. "Hey, girl!" I exclaimed, dropping my purse and opening my arms wide for a hug.Juliana laughed and rushed into the hug, nearly dropping her own purse in the process. "It's so good to see you, Freya! I missed you so much," she squealed, holding me tightly. "Thank you for coming to pick me up.""Missed you too, hun. Good to have to back." As we pulled back, I asked, "Hey, where is Mark?"my eyes darted around."Oh, he needed to attend to something urgent. He'd soon be joining me at home."I nodded. "Right. So, how was your honeymoon? I've been dying to hear all a

Chapter: Chapter 23Hailey's p.o.v "But you can't just take my son away from me Ethan?" I bellowed at him as he instructed me to gather his belongings to take him to live with him. "You can't just come now and decide you want to take him to live with you after all these years and you think I'd let that happen?" Frustrated, Ethan settled on the couch with one of his legs over the other , his fingers tapping hastily on its rest. "So, what would you have me do instead, Hailey? Come on, tell me." "I want to stay with you, with my son. We need to stay together, as family, Ethan. That will be good for Dylan. Don't you think?" "Dylan is my son and I think I am solely responsible for him and him only. I do not see where you belong in the picture, Hailey," he brushed the smile off my face as he said curtly. "So, don't you get it over your head that I am in anyway interested in you or ever will. I am married to Jane and the least I'd want from all of this is a kind of intrusion into my marriage. You unders

Chapter: Chapter 22Jane's p.o.vI grinned satisfyingly as Ethan ushered me to the diner, pulling out a chair for me gentlemanly. My grin intensified as he settled opposite me, locking hands with me and I couldn't help but wonder his sudden act of chivalry towards me. Not that he hasn't been to some extent but something about this one feels off."Hmm... Is there something to this, Ethan?" I teased. "You've been a little extra since I arrived?"Ethan only smiled, dishing out the meals onto our platters this time. "Jane. I've got something to tell you," his face as stern as the truth."Oh," I exclaimed, shoving my meal aside and steeling my mind for what is to come. "I'm all ears.""Jane. You have been a wonderful person and as much as I didn't see this coming, I believe it would be unfair to you if I don't let you know.""Know what, Ethan?" "That I have a son!"Ethan's confession set my soul ablaze. I felt my throat bob and my body numb as he revealed. Fuck! how did he know he has a son with Freya? my an

Chapter: Chapter 21Freya's p.o.vDebby, my office assistant dropped some papers on my table at my cubicle. "This doesn't look good."I put on my reading glasses to see what it was as I scan through the newspaper. It's a popular business newspaper with updates on trending news in the market."What?!" My face pulled into a dissatisfactory grimace wishing I didn't get to read that. The Slades are now higher up in the market with more investors and partnerships still counting. I read through again and discovered they are selling at the same price as us."How the hell did this happen?""You think that's the worst part?" Debby said, flipping over to another page which made me go completely ballistic."What the hell, Debby? This is our design," I said, adjusting my glasses well enough to be sure I wasn't dreaming. "My design. What the hell is going on?""Exactly, what I thought as well," Debby said, folding her arms. "Something's definitely wrong somewhere. How could they have possibly done that? Could it be

Chapter: Chapter 20Ethan's p.o.v "Don't be surprised Ethan," Hailey said after sitting the boy down and walking back head high to me. "You were so on fire that night." My seethed mind caused me to grab her by the arm. "Stop this crap if it is a joke, Hailey. Now, isn't the time for one of your games." Like her usual self, Hailey stood her ground, scowling at me as she stood defiant. "What the fuck do you mean by if this is a joke, Ethan? Do you know how long I have tried to find you before finally meeting you at the wedding party the other time? It took me over eight good years to do that and you think I would sit and watch while my son— our son suffer from dying to see his father when in fact he is still alive?" I jerked her arm forward seethedly, releasing my grip on Hailey. "And if you choose to be a doubting Thomas, I believe a paternity test should suffice," Hailey proposed. My gaze darted between her and the boy knowing there's no way Hailey could have suggested what she just did if sh
