LOGINChapter 164CaelanDaren and I headed towards the training camp because word came in that another attack was imminent and if I didn’t do anything about it, this time I’ll lose the trust my people have in me. As we drove down the busy street, Freya’s voice kept ringing in my ears nonstop. I’ve never seen her so disappointed in someone ever, and I never thought I’d be that person. “Sir!” Daren’s voice jolted me back to the present, just in time for me to swerve the car away from running a lady over. The tired screeched to a halt and my chest rose and fell, beads of sweat rolling down my face. “Something is bothering you sir, mind if I drive instead?” Daren offered and I nodded, still panting heavily. I got down from the car and walked up to the still frightened lady. The hat she wore covered the most part of her face and she was oddly turning away from me, making sure our eyes didn’t meet. “Uhmm… I am deeply sorry for that, I wasn’t paying attention because I just had a lot going
Chapter 163FreyaAs I poured some wine for Caelan and myself, I noticed he wouldn’t stop stealing glances at me. It felt like he was reading into my soul and I couldn’t hide how I really felt from him for much longer. “Freya…” he called, leaning forward to hold my hand, “you really don’t have to pretend to be okay with something you’re clearly not okay with..” “What are you talking about?” I asked, my pitch rising slowly as I pulled my hand away from his. “I just checked your pulse, your heart is pounding. You’re upset about something but you’re trying not to show it for my sake..” he insisted and I inhaled sharply. The spoon in my other hand dropped into the bowl, splashing some of the soup in my dress and my chin. Caelan handed me a napkin and still refused to take his eyes off of me. “What makes you think I’m upset about something?” I asked and he leaned back into his chair. “For all I know, my heart could I be pounding because I’m worried about what Lucian is planning on do
Chapter 162SeleneI waited patiently for Rowan to return from wherever he ran off to. After I waited for what felt like an eternity, the door pushed open and he stepped in, the look on his face showed he was shocked to see me. “Where are you coming from?” I asked Rowan as he stepped into his study. He rolled his eyes at me and poured himself some whiskey, throwing the contents into his mouth in one gulp. “I’m asking you a question, Rowan, you can’t just get up and leave the estate at a time like this and not let me know!”“And you’re going to do what about where I go to or who I go to see?” He snarled, throwing his hands in the air. “I honestly don’t know why you’re being all snarky towards me, but I’m not your enemy here. We’re supposed to be working together to turn this setback in our favor.” I insisted but he let out a hysterical laugh. “You said this was going to work!” Rowan barked, throwing himself into his chair as beads of sweat rolled down his pale face despite the air
Chapter 161FreyaI took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off of my face and closed the distance between us both. “You know what?”“What?”“Let’s just calm down and have a chat. Heart to heart conversation, clear the air and start on a clean slate. There’s no need to bicker like we’re three year olds on a slide..” I said calmly, rubbing his arms gently as his eyes softened. “I’m sorry I kept this from you for this long and you had to find out like this..” he whispered but I didn’t mind that at all. I stood on my toes and coiled my fingers into his hair, pulling him into my kiss. His hands found my waist and I melted into his arms, the warmth of his body breaking the wall of ice I built. His phone vibrated in his pocket and we pulled apart so he’d take it. “It’s Aurora..” he said, wiping his face as he put the phone on speaker. “Hey, is Freya with you? Put her on the phone.” She said quickly. “I’m here Aurora, is something wrong?”“You can’t believe Rowan was here. He came to spea

Chapter 160Freya“Caelan..” I called out right before he climbed the stairs leading up to his room. He paused and turned slowly, exhaling like he was already expecting that I’d call him back. “I know, Freya, you have more questions that need answers..” “No, don’t say it like that..” My voice pitched, “Look, all I’m trying to do here is help you out of this mess and you’re making it look like I’m bothering you..” “Of course you’re not bothering me, I’m just saying that these things are difficult to say sometimes and it’s not like I don’t want you to know… I just think this isn’t really the best time.” His eyes rested on me like a hawk, like he was trying to read my mind but I shut him out of my head. “If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t stand Aurora’s father, I certainly won’t be here..” I nagged and brushed past him, walking through the corridors to find one of the guest rooms downstairs. Caelan didn’t stop me, of course I didn’t think he would. I was fuming, something was
Chapter 3 Freya Her eyes were as cold as they’d always been and for a brief moment I let myself hope that seeing me like this, my back covered in bruises, bloodied, and completely broken might finally crack through that ice and bring a bit of warmth in her eyes that I hadn’t seen in years. But
CHAPTER 2Freya’s pov“Look at her hair,” someone whispered, barely above a breath, as if speaking any louder might give away her uncertainty. “There’s no way she’s really the Alpha heiress. An omega?” another voice cut in, low and filled with nothing but disbelief. But just as I felt something w
CHAPTER 5Freya’s povCaelan's eyes had gone from warm to arctic in the span of a heartbeat. He stood there dripping water onto the hardwood floor, his expression carved from ice, and I felt the temperature in the room drop."Just an accident," he repeated slowly, like he was testing the words. "I s
CHAPTER 4Freya's POVThe stranger's dark eyes held mine, and I forgot how to breathe.He was still gripping the wrist of the man who'd tried to touch me, but his attention was completely focused on me. The intensity of his gaze made heat crawl up my neck and spread across my cheeks. My skin tingle
