Freya's POV:"Sign it."That was all Alpha Lucien said over 18 hours ago, as he pushed the contract across the table at me.And like a fool, I signed it.Now here I was, locked in this room that felt more like a prison, questioning every damn decision that led me here. My thoughts kept drifting to the contract I had signed less than twenty-four hours ago, wondering if I had just screwed myself over in the most spectacular way.Was this part of Lucien's plan all along? Or had I just made the biggest mistake of my life?Fuck it. I groaned and flopped back onto the bed, dragging a pillow over my face.How was I supposed to face Kaiden when we finally met again?I could already imagine the look on his face, the way his eyes would widen with that perfect mixture of shock and guilt.Would he stutter? Would he try to apologize? Would he finally realize how deeply he’d hurt me?A part of me wanted that. No—needed it. I wanted him to look at me and regret every cruel thing he ever said. But an

Theron’s POV:"It's a contract to become my Luna for two years," I replied, and her gaze dropped to the envelope in her hands.The very day I met her, I already knew that Freya was the perfect candidate. And when she vanished after spending the night with me, I searched the hotel logs and asked the manager.Only to discover that she'd called in sick after a meal we shared. Allergic reaction.Bullshit! I had known shame before.I had seen it in the eyes of women who'd spent the night with me and regretted it by morning. Still, I played along and told the manager to give her the day off."Why would you want a fake Luna?" She finally asked.I smiled and leaned back against the pool chair. "I've been divorced for years, and now the Elders won't leave me alone. They want a Luna to manage the Pack Affairs. I replied. “This is... just to keep them at bay."Her eyes narrowed, and she flipped open the envelope like it might bite. "But the contract says two years. What happens after that? You p

Freya's POV:"Freya! Are you seriously not at work yet? It’s almost 10:30!" Sam yelled as soon as I picked up the call.Shit."Sam," I whispered, voice hoarse from sleep. "I... I can't come in this morning. I got food poisoning last night after eating something I was allergic to."There was a long pause on her end. I could hear her breathing, probably trying to piece it all together."Food poisoning? From where?""When I was with Alpha Theron..." I mumbled, dragging a hand across my face. "It was something we ate. I didn't realize it had shellfish."Another pause."Oh." She said softly. Then her tone turned strict again. "Look, Freya, I get it. But this is your official first day. If you don’t show up, management's going to mark you as unreliable. And if you so much as breathe wrong next time, they'll kick you out.”"I know, I know, but... I can’t face anyone today, Sam. Just... Please, help me. Can you tell them I’ll come in tonight instead? After I’m done getting checked out?"She e

Freya's POV:“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I muttered, slumping into the worn seat as the SUV pulled away.Make Alpha Theron fall in love with me? Was Alpha Lucien out of his mind?Theron was a known Casanova who had multiple women throwing themselves at him because he was divorced. And I was supposed to get him to fall in love with me?Yeah. Right.I exhaled, shaking my head. “This is insane.”But deep down… I knew I was going to do it. Because what the hell else did I have?I was tired of dreaming about a future that got ripped out from under me by a boy who never loved me in the first place.Maybe I couldn’t fix the past, but I could control what came next. And if there was one thing I knew for sure, I wasn’t going to die a nobody. So I turned to Alpha Lucien and said the words that sealed my fate.“I’ll do it.”He smiled widely. “Smart girl.”By the time we reached the bus stop, the suited man beside the driver, whom I later found out was named Elias, handed me a black card and s

Freya's POV:"Freya! Table seven needs their drinks!""I'm on it!" I called back, already moving toward the door.Before I could reach for the knob, my phone buzzed in my pocket.I sighed, thinking it was my landlord again, but when I glanced at the screen, my steps slowed.Juliet?She used to be my roommate while I was still in college, but we stopped talking after I got kicked out. With a deep breath, I hit the green button and pressed the phone to my ear. “Hello?”“Freya?” Lisa’s voice came through fast, like she’d been waiting all day to speak. “Oh my goodness, thank the moon you picked up! I didn’t think you would.”I forced a smile that she couldn’t see. “Umh.”There was a pause, then she exhaled. “How… how have you been?”I chuckled softly. “Surviving.”I could feel it before the hesitation and uneasiness, so I asked. “You didn’t call just to ask how I’ve been, right?”“No.” Her voice dropped. “I didn’t.”I gripped the edge of my shirt. “Just say it.”She cleared her throat. “T
