LOGINChapter 128Aurora “Father..” I called from the door to his study and he quickly lifted his eyes from the book in his hand. “Come in..” he ordered. I shut the door behind me and pulled a chair out, dropping into it slowly. “I called you here because there’s something I wanted us to discuss..” he started and I nodded slowly. “You know, things have gone south and the plans we thought we had in motion turned out to be a heap of hay. What’s done is done, I just don’t think we still need to dwell on the past..” I wanted to say I’m not event dwelling on it for even a split second but no matter how calm my father’s voice sounded, I was still very much frightened by him so I pursed my lips and nodded while he spoke. “So on that note, I used my position to get you a lovely opportunity somewhere else, where you can volunteer.” He handed me a document and I stared at it, my eyes scanning through every word on it and I felt laughter sizzling underneath my vocal cord. “Father why would I w
Chapter 127Freya Lord Magfold looked like he was going to explode when Caelan offered to provide a tutor for me. And that’s when I realized that Caelan wasn’t wrong. He wanted to hand me over to Rowan!I decided to test my suspicion and gave Caelan a gentle squeeze under the table. “Caelan, it seems that lord Magfold has good intentions for me, and maybe a great tutor that could help me harness my new strength..”“You’re right, I do have someone in mind. As a matter of fact, this used to be your tutor while you were still in the preliminary classes and I’m certain it’s as a result of his intense training that you were finally able to break through and reach your lycan..” I glanced at Caelan and pursed my lips. “Lord Magfold, are you speaking of the young man who just left her a while ago? Alpha Rowan?” Lord Axel asked. “Exactly.” I smiled inwardly and leaned forward on the table, my eyes glued to his twisted face. “Thank you so much for your concern, Lord Magfold, but due to s
Chapter 126Caelan I’ve gone through so many phases of my life before now, but never have I ever experienced something as intensely beautiful as this. As the warm water ran down my back, I couldn’t stop staring into empty space. Every blink was a constant reminder of what I had just witnessed in my bed and I never wanted it to stop or go away. I turned the water off and walked back into the room, my robe hugging my body. Freya was still fast asleep when I walked in and I moved stealthily into my closet, got dressed for the council meeting and headed downstairs to the kitchen. “Is there something you need sir?” The chef asked and I glanced around. “Make some of that calming tea and take it up to my room immediately..” I ordered and she bowed her head before hurrying back to the stove. I returned to my room and she was still sleeping, her face a pure embodiment of what peace feels like. If the weather wasn’t clear enough for the meeting I would have crawled into bed with her and h
Chapter 125Freya“Caelan…” I moaned as our lips crashed into each other and I shut my eyes. He grabbed my hair and tugged at it, while his other hand found the hem of his hoodie and slipped underneath it. I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him deeper into the kiss. But then a thought crept into my head slowly. We can’t be doing this without a proper definition of what this means to either of us. I’ll only be hurting myself even more because now we’ll both be leading each other on without a proper destination. Something snapped in my head instantly and I slowly unwrapped my arms, pulling my lips away. “Wait… wait stop” I said, slowly pushing him away as I wiped my lips with the back of my hand. “What’s wrong?” He asked. “What are we doing?” I shot back and he looked at me funny. “What are you talking about?” He pouted, closing the distance between us again but I took one step back. “This… What exactly is this, Caelan? I know where this will lead to and then we’ll st
Chapter 124FreyaI already turned his study into a mini dining table, laid out the meals and the plates for them. Caelan returned a while later in a pair of shorts and a linen shirt. His hair rested lazily above his shoulder and on the sides of his face as he dropped into one of the chairs. I already took my shoes off and joined him on the other side of the table. “So, how are you recovering?” I asked as I threw a spoonful into my mouth. “Not too quickly, but also very effectively. The charms are wearing off already, all that’s left is to fully regain my strength..” he said through a mouthful of food and I nodded. I wanted to ask him about the talisman issue and if he found a solution to whatever it was that bothered him so much that day, but I didn’t want to get upset about how he was keeping things from me and so I let it be. He noticed the shift in my eyes quickly and pushed his seat back, picked it up and placed it right beside me. “Now I can hear your thoughts louder..” he
Chapter 123FreyaWhen I was done bathing, the pounding in my head had settled into a mere pull behind my eyes. I stared at my reflection as I blow dried my hair and I just couldn’t quit being amazed. The conversations downstairs replayed in my head over and over again, and I laughed softly. Why can’t they all just leave me alone? After all this while I finally got over the terrible things Rowan put me through and now they want to pull me back into that life again. I had already said all there was to say, I don’t owe Rowan any sympathy, nor a chance to explain why he did what he did, nor do I even owe him a second chance. It’s actually very pathetic how he just wants to throw Selena under the bus after being together for so long. And yet no matter how much I make it clear, they just keep coming one after the other as if sending different people will change my mind. I know Rowan and I know the game he’s playing at. He thinks if enough people speak and plead on his behalf, that som
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
Chapter 34 Freya I don’t say a word after that because I know it’s pointless going back and forth with her. So I walked away, to my room, slamming the door so hard it almost came off its hinges. I fall face first into my pillow, letting out a muffled groan in agony. The alcohol finally hit and m
Chapter 33 Freya His eyes flicked towards me immediately, searching, checking to see if I saw or missed it. I plastered a firm smile on my face and I could see the relief flood his eyes. Iris was indeed on to something. “Focus on the council membership first; worry about this later.” I thought
