MasukChapter 119Rowan As Freya’s car disappeared into the distance, I placed the bouquet of flowers by the basket and saw myself out of the house. There was no use calling for her mother’s attention when I already felt kicked in the balls. I expected hostility from Freya, but to this extent? She always used to be so understanding and her heart rarely held any grudges for much longer.“I just need to keep pursuing.. soon she’ll eventually give in.” I said to myself as I drove out of the estate. Hours passed and I finally arrived at my pack house, the eerie aura settling on my shoulders as I got down from my car. I smacked my lips in pure annoyance when the door opened and the first face I saw was Selena. “Hey..” she whispered, walking up to me barely clothed. Before now this would have made me suspend every other thing I had to do and spend the rest of the day with her. But now, staring at her body not only petrified me, I literally gagged. “Can you stop trying already?” I blurted,
Chapter 118FreyaI just walked out of my bathroom, patting my wet hair with my towel as my bathrobe wrapped loosely around my damp skin when my door creaked open without a prior knock and my mother entered head first. “Freya darling..” she started softly, her eyes lingering on my body like she was searching for something she didn’t keep. “What’s going on?” I asked, staring at her with concern. “Don’t speak to me in that tone, we’re not fighting now are we?” She sneered, offering herself a seat on my bed. I slowly wrapped the towel around my hair and folded my arms over my chest. “You do realize that you’re in Freya’s room and not Iris, right?” I asked again, sterner this time. “Of course. I saw when you walked in and I noticed something different about you so I said I’d ask if you’re okay..” My back straightened as she said those words and I immediately suspected she could smell my lycan pheromones and I immediately clenched my jaw. I already planned to keep this from her for a
Chapter 117Rowan “We know it’s hard to accept, Rowan, but someday the truth had to be brought to light…” the elder’s words echoed in my head on my way home. As the car pulled over in my estate, I slowly climbed down and dragged myself into the mansion. Selena sat in the living room, her arms spread beside her as a maid massaged her feet. “Oh honey…” her face lit up as she pulled her leg from the maid’s hands and got up to hug me, “you’re home already. I got the pastries you sent my love, that was so sweet of you..” I stared at her blankly, a whole lot of questions swiveling in my head. I took a deep breath and gently pushed her away. “We need to talk..” I finally said, my tone low and barely audible. She paused and stared back at me, her face slowly twisting into a frown. “What’s the matter?” I looked at the maid and pointed in her face, “Get lost..” I ordered and she scurried away immediately. “Honey you’re scaring me, what happened at the meeting?” Selena pressed on as I d
Chapter 116Rowan I woke up that morning with nothing but the meeting I was supposed to have with members of my pack elders that morning. They usually had meetings without the need for the Alpha’s presence but me being summoned for this meeting meant it was important and I didn’t have the choice of missing it. “Where are you going so early in the morning?” Selene asked while I stood in the front of the mirror buttoning up my shirt. I turned around, a small smile on my face. “A meeting with the elders my love. You have nothing to worry about.” I took a deep breath. “Just go back to sleep.” She frowned, forcing herself up so she could sit. I rolled my eyes knowing that going back to sleep was out of the question. “So early?” She asked. “Is everything okay?” She pressed on. I shrugged, because truthfully I had no idea if everything was okay. I just hoped that whatever was waiting for me, it was something I could actually handle. “I’m not sure.” I muttered, keeping my voice low. “
Chapter 115Caelan “Make us understand clearly, Caelan, when you say that talisman holds your lycan what do you even mean?” Aurora insisted but telling them anything would mean exposing that I’m alpha king. “It’s not something I can just start explaining right now..” I snapped. Silence stretched between everyone and my heart was pounding in my ears. “You know what, you all please stay in here. Daren and I will try to make something out of the ashes and I’ll explain later, I promise..” I said and turned to leave but I felt a sharp pain in my rib. My body folded immediately as a sharp pain shot through every part of me. Freya rushed to my side, her eyes heavy with hundreds of questions but her lips thin as paper. She helped me sit while Aurora poured me some water. “I think you should let Daren do the work, you haven’t recovered fully..” Marcus said. I couldn’t protest because even though I wanted to go out there myself, I couldn’t move my legs anymore. Daren bowed slightly and
Chapter 114Caelan. I blurred in and out of consciousness for a good hour before I finally became aware of my surroundings. I heard Freya’s voice and something in me shifted. I wanted to stand up from here and wrap my arms around her. I couldn’t smell the antiseptic, nor could I smell the harsh hospital floor cleaning agents. This smelled like comfort… like a place I knew too well. Even the bed felt more comfortable than before and I knew this belonged to me. I’m home!“Please just say something to me Caelan… just one thing..” Freya sobbed beside me, her tears dropping slowly on my bare arm. My chest tightened because even though I wanted to pull myself out of this prison and tell her that I’ll never leave her again, I couldn’t even afford to lift a finger. Freya placed her head beside me, sobbing into the sheets profusely. Then the door opened and someone approached my bed. I tried to pick up the scent and realized it was Daren. Good thing he’s alive… I thought I lost him back
Chapter 43 Freya It’s been two days. Two days since I last felt like anything, two days of ignoring Caelan’s calls and two days of still being unable to reach my best friend, Aurora.I’d spent most of the days in my room, only making a few planned trips to the kitchen. Planned in the sense that I
Chapter 42 Freya “I have to go, something has come up.” I said, my voice cracking. Caelan grabbed my hand before I could leave. Then suddenly he pulled me and my body smashed into his own. I did not prepare myself for the overwhelming smell of him—cedar and spice that suddenly wafted int
Chapter 41 Freya It’s been two days since I won the last assessment program but the council was still quiet about it. Lying in bed and staring at the ceiling, felt like each passing minute was eating away at my sanity. I’d barely seen or heard from Aurora these past days and I knew her family
Chapter 37Freya I answered the questions just like I prepared for them. I wondered if Aurora was finding it as easy as I was because there were other questions too, not just the one about the great abandonment. But, it was the only one that required a presentation. I couldn’t help but wonder if
