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 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
Chapter 31 Freya’s POVIt annoyed me that I let my mother and Iris words get to my head. To the extent of making me unable to hold a conversation with Caelan. But, I couldn’t help it. The unanswered questions were too many. I can’t say I was oblivious to them but I was so swamped with the fantas
