Louis was quiet for a moment. “Freya–”“it’s alright. It's enough that I have you back.” I swallowed, looking down at my lap.We're both quiet for a while as he continued to wheel me out the elevator.“Dad's waiting for you back home.” Louis told me like he was attempting to cheer me up.I nodded with a smile then something caught my eye.“Wait.” I called, watching the nurse who came towards me when everyone else was too scared to.She looked up in that moment and wide smile formed on her face nearly startling me.She basically ran towards me. Her grin growing even wider.“Oh my God. I'm so happy you're alright. Nearly gave me a heart attack there.” She said with a chuckle bending to my height on the wheel like she was speaking to a child.My eyes scanned her form. We looked to be around the same age.I looked at her like she was a weird creature. It was hard to see someone this concerned about someone else in my world.I noticed her eyes peek through her lashes at Louis behind me. I

The guard looked up at me in shock while I glared daggers at him. I wheeled myself back into the room, slamming the door on his shocked face. “Ughh.” I screeched loudly. I didn't plan to jump out the window. I was only bluffing but in my boredom. I wheeled myself closer to the large windows. Just watching and looking out the very beautiful view. It felt nice, the breeze blowing over my face. I sag there relaxing and waiting for that guard whose name I forgot to ask to get me the phone I demanded. The door to the room slammed open with such force, it could have come out it's hinges. I don't flinch, just sighed heavily. I turned slowly until I was facing a very furious Rino, still standing by the door. I raised a brow at him, aware I was provoking him even further but I couldn't care less. He had me locked up in here like I was some detainee. “Your life is mine.” He slammed the door shut with the same force, I was shocked it was still standing. “You have no right to casually tal

I blinked, once, twice. “She's what?” I stumbled over my words. “Like she peeled her eyes open?” I tried to force my aching limbs to sit up in shock but one hard glare from Rino and I froze. I remember now, she moved. When I was back at the hospital, she moved her fingers and her eyes twitched. My entire body felt heavy as I processed his words. My throat felt full. I blinked again. “Yes, she's awake.” He affirmed. I placed my hands upon my chest, it was full to the brim. It felt like it was going to overload and pour over. “C-can I see her?” I felt choked up, my blurry eyes looking up at a stoic Rino. He shook his head at me and my breath halted. “Not until you're well enough to walk.” He announced. I let out a choked sob. My body tightening, I didn't want to cry, I refuse to, not in front of him. Another racked through my body and Rino moved closer to me. His eyes alarmed. Why did he care? “Are you hurt?” His voice sounded urgent. “Freya?” He called, gripping my arms caref

We both froze, just staring like we couldn't look away. I really couldn't. Rino broke the contact first. His eyes dropping to his thighs and then back at me. He stood to his full height and then I noticed how rough his attire looked. His white shirt sleeves was rolled up his arm. Few buttons detached like they were done aggressively. The both sides of his shirt had blood stains on them. His hair looked a mess like he'd run his hands in them an unhealthy number of times. He looked recked. Rino never had a hair out of place…never. He took a step forward and then stopped like he was unsure what to do while I just laid there watching. He stood unsure. I would have raised a brow at him if I could. Rino unsure? “How are you feeling?” His deep, gruff voice resounded in the room. “Like I was run over by a truck.” I spoke, my voice hoarse. Rino raised a perfect brow at me. Like he couldn't believe I was joking right now. He moved closer with ease now until he was standing by my b

Freya's POV Pain. It was hot, Excruciating. It was like the air I breathed in. I've felt this kind of pain before, It's second nature to me, I've known it all my life. The physical, mental, and emotional pain. He said it was what I deserved, that there was no life without pain and we all had to take our share of it. We were whores, escorts and we should be ready to lay down our lives. No questions asked. I didn't want to. I was so tired of the years of pain and torture, I badly wanted to claw my way out of this. Pain rippled through my scalp, making me gasp for air. My hands reaching out to try and grab onto anything but only caught air. Relentless and desperate sobs racked from my being as I begged. “Alfredo please stop. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.” I was shaking so hard. “How dare you try to run?” He snarled, landing a resounding slap that cut through the room and my head snapped violently to the side. A metallic taste spread in my trembling mouth. I shook my head, de

“What did you say?” I asked, stepping forward to meet her. “i-it was a lady, she was being chased by a group men.” The woman tried to explain shakily. “They all had weird tattoos on.” She informed him and I nodded my head at her. The only reply I could muster before rushing out of the building, Louis on my tail. “Do you think she has been taken?” Louis breathed heavily like he just ran a mile. “Likely. Check all the security footage from the streets.” I barked. “King.” Enzo, one of my most trusted men hurried towards me. “The hospital garage footage showed Mrs. Gracia fleeing off in a car with other cars behind her.” I didn't wait for another word before jumping into my car. I zoomed off in my car, going in the closed off direction in the woods. My heart slamming against my ribcage. We could have avoided all of this if she had just sat her ass right where I told her to but no, Freya must always have her own way. With my heart slamming hard against my chest, my ears steaming fro

We all turned to find a blonde haired man standing behind us, a black ethereal beauty beside him.“Draco.” Melanie squealed, in one quick stride she jumped onto the man and like he was expecting her to, he caught her mid way.His arms wrapped around her. A goofy smile appearing open his face.When Melanie was satisfied, her set her on her feet and next, she launched another hug on the lady beside him.“Nymeria how are you?” Melanie said excitedly.They all exchanged greetings while I just stood there gaping at the exceptionally looking couple.It was very much obvious from where I stood. They were glued to her, his hand always reached back to hold her and from the aura emanating from them both I could already tell they held way too much power and status to be just normal wolves.Definitely an Alpha and Luna.I should shrink back from the shift in the air due to the power and strength they both exuded. I had no wolf, I shouldn't have the guts to stand beside them let alone stare this h

I got into the bathroom, dried up my hair and got into the black dress. It was beyond beautiful but it made me a little uncomfortable. It clinged to my body like a second skin which made me wince at the sight. It showed off curves I didn't even notice I possessed. I never did have the time to notice things like this. I checked my back a dozen times in the mirror to make sure it was properly covered. I let my hair down in wavy curls just in case. I head out of the bathroom and the two ladies gape at me in shock, especially Melanie. I squirmed uncomfortably under their eyes. “What.” I asked them not knowing what to do with my hands ands feets anymore. “You look unbelievably amazing, that's what.” Melanie let's out a laugh like she just won a lottery. “You look gorgeous Valerie.” Aria said more softly with a warm smile. I gave them both a sheepish smile, feeling extremely shy all of a sudden. If I didn't know how to act in front of them, I wonder how I was going to handl

“Run, my child! Run!” My head snapped to the side. “Child run!” A chilly voice screamed but I couldn't see her. “Don't let them get to you. I beg you.” The voice cried. I panted heavily in fear. “Promise me you'll live. Promise me you'll stay alive and protect yourself?” The voice held so much sorrow in it. I peeled my lips to answer but I couldn't speak. “I-I-I—” An earth chattering scream broke into air and sounds of glass bursting nearly deafened me. Angry red flame erupted into the dark night from nowhere and I found myself screaming too. That voice, the screaming voice somehow belonged to—me. My eyes snapped open. I gasped out a breathe. My throat raw like I was truly screaming in real life too. My skin felt clammy. It hummed all over and I realized I was drenched in my own sweat. My hair clinging to my face and clothes. Then I felt it, hot searing heat crawling all over my back like prickles of needles. I shut my mouth tight to hold back a scream, only letting a shaky b

‘Duck’ a loud voice rang in my head, shocking even me but in that split second, my body moved, ducking out of the way. I let out a loud gasp, my wide eyes staring at the spot my body just moved from, before snapping to a surprised Mira. In another second, Mira was lounging at me again. my blood rushed in my ears. That voice, that same strange voice screamed at me–again. ‘Roll.’ My body moved on it's own accord before I could process what in the madness was going on. I rolled onto the floor, barely catching my breathe. Mira's eyes darkened with grave annoyance while my eyes remained wide in shock. What the hell was that? I couldn't hear the voice in my head anymore. Did I just imagine it? My ragged breathes puffed out like I just carried the weight of the world on my shoulders. “You're not as clueless as I thought.” Mira clicked, that dark smile still present. I shook my head, panting heavily as I stood shakily. Distracted, her fist came flying straight at me. This time

Without thinking, I raced straight to Aria. My mind panicking. I collapsed onto the floor beside her, she let out a loud groan, her bloodied mouth looked up at me. A bloody smile lingering on her lips like anything about this was funny. My chest was heaving and I felt it begin to burn. The smile on her face vanished with one look on my mine. “Hey, what is it?” Her soft voice didn't calm me. I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth, my eyes burning harshly. “I thought–I thought–” I had no idea what was wrong with. I just hated violence. My eyes quickly moved to the tear on her knee, she must have gotten that from the hard landing. I was thinking to run to get a med kit, find herbs to treat her injury but right in front of my eyes, in seconds, slowly her injury just healed until it completely disappeared. I almost collapsed in relief. “Hey, I'm okay you know.” Aria turned until she sat crossed legged on the floor in front of me. A warm smile still on her face like she knew my insi

My head snapped to the side in search of the one I knew that scent belonged to.Danny’s eyes followed my movements, and she watched me in confusion.“Looking for something?” she curiously inquired.Or someone, rather.I couldn't possibly tell her I somehow perceived the scent of the Alpha King and was searching for him like a crazed woman. Saying it out loud would sound even crazier than it did in my head.I cleared my throat and shook my head at her.I must have imagined it. If he wasn't present, there was no way I could have sniffed in his scent.I followed Danny out from between the shelves and back behind my desk, thanking her for taking the time to show me around, and she waved it off, saying it was no problem.She continued to stand awkwardly in front of my desk, and I was about to ask if something was wrong, worried I had somehow done something to upset her.“Lunch is in thirty minutes. Do you want to go out to have lunch with me?” Danny asked sheepishly, looking like she was h

I rubbed my clammy fingers against my dress. Her eyes scanned me from my head and to my toe.“You must Giselle. The woman's who has stolen my grandbaby's heart.” She said, her face grim and Lynnie giggled at her grandmother's words.I didn't know if I should nod or not.She moved gracefully, her heels clicking behind her until she was standing directly in front of me.She stood towering over me and she bent like she wanted to scan my face properly.I tried to bend away from her touch as much as I could.She had her son's eyes.“I heard you were involved in my baby's kidnap.” I swallowed at the steely look in her eyes.My heart pounded harshly. I had no idea what to say. She was invading my personal space.“I-I-I didn't mean to.” I stumbled over my words.“Hmm.” She clicked, her unwavering gaze still on my face.“I also heard you were married to that brute.” She pulled back a little.“I-I.” “In our world, debts are always paid back in full.” My breathe hitched. “You've lost enough so

I peeled my eyes open to find myself on the bed. My neck and every other part of my body ached from my bad sleeping posture. My eyes felt swollen and I cringed at how scary I must look. I sat up carefully, letting out soft groans and gasps. I struggled to stand on my own without support and was failing terribly. I was only seconds from pulling at my own hair from frustration when the door clicked open to reveal Mrs. Taylor. Her worried eyes went over my form and cautiously she walked further into the room. “You shouldn't be doing that ma'am.” She said softly, moving to hold onto my arm to support my weight. “Giselle.” My voice came out rough and hoarse from al the crying last night. “What?” She looked up at me. “My name is Giselle.” I corrected her, being called ma'am made me uncomfortable. She nodded quietly at me. “Want to take a shower?” I nodded thankfully at her. She helped me to the luxury looking bathroom. I’d never seen anything look so expensive that I was afraid to

The man in question dropped his utensils on his plate with a clink.His fiery eyes turned towards his girlfriend and her jaw shut close in seconds.“I-I think I'll head home. Dad's calling.” She squealed quietly and without waiting for another word she basically hurried out of the room like her ass was on fire.I tried shrinking into my seat and appearing invisible after that.Lynnie was the only unfazed human at the table.She yapped on about nothing in particular. Her father looked like her talking was the only thing of interest he'd rather be engaged in as he just quietly listened, giving her his full attention.I slowly and cautiously forced a few spoons of food into my mouth. My body was unable to keep food down.My back stiffened when he peeled his lips to talk. “How did your day go sweetie?” He softly asked her, his expression cool.Lynnie went off into another endless cute chatter.He hadn't looked in my question once since he sat, looking like he’d forgotten I was present whi

I watched on blankly. “Oh dear Lord dear, come here, you gave me quite the scare.” I had no idea why I didn't think her mother would be somewhere around. My heart pulsed further with guilt. Lynnie shrugged off the woman's arms around her though, her eyes glaring daggers only a De La Rosa could manage. “You're not my mommy.” Her tiny voice sounded annoyed and hurt. The lady looked like Lynnie’s words did nothing to move her. She maintained a smile on her face. Her eyes following Lynnie's figure who moved to stand by my bedside like she was seeking comfort and for some reason, my hands instinctly moved to rub her back. She blinked at me, her lips parting, “who's this?” She demanded, her eyes calculative. “She's a guest Miss Hilda.” Mrs. Taylor finally spoke from the side. Hilda's eye's skeptically ran over me and they narrowed like she didn't believe a words of that but she schooled her features like a pro and pulled her charming smile back on like a dress. “Of course.” She humm

I awoke to a world that didn't feel like mine. I felt a new kind of different, and it was nothing compared to the last time this had happened. I had no desire to live on, no reason to fight for my life. I felt numb—except for the anxiety stuck in the center of my throat that I couldn't shake off. Something told me so much worse could happen to me than my imminent death. Since I regained consciousness an hour ago, I'd tried my hardest not to remember Jace's lifeless eyes. I wanted to pretend the last twenty-four hours had only been a dream and never happened. And that the blindfold against my eyes and my left feet being chained to the bed I was laid upon were also only a figment of my imagination. A door slammed open, causing me to flinch and stiffen. I tightened my closed eyes at the sound of footsteps walking into the room. One was fast and loud; the other was slow, deliberate, and carried weight—telling me that even the sound of his footsteps mattered. My blood rushed lou

"It's nothing, I'll be right back," I whispered to a frightened Lauryn beside me. I managed to uncurl her limbs from around my body before climbing out of the bed. I shut the door securely behind me. The voices of the men were all raised downstairs. "Do you know what you have just done?" I heard Jimmy's voice scream as I headed down the stairs of our small home, dread sinking into my skin. "Oh, stop exaggerating, Jimmy. It can't be that bad, and he won't kill us—not when we have his daughter," my husband's voice drawled in mockery at his friend. "You just kidnapped the daughter of a madman, Jace. This could all be some kind of setup. Why else would you get some random anonymous tip to kidnap a little girl from her school trip for ten million? Think, you idiot—it was all too easy, Jace." Jimmy paused, taking in a large breath. "These are powerful and dangerous people you do not want to mess with in your lifetime. We are talking about the De La Rosas," Jimmy all but panted as I
