MasukChapter 171CaelanI showed Umbra to one of the empty quarters at the far end of the estate and got one of the maids to set her up. By the time I returned to the main house, Freya had already left. The conversation we had yesterday came flooding back to my head as I paced back and forth, clearly lost in my thoughts. āIf I go on with this, then everyone will know all that Iāve worked so hard to keep on the low this entire time..ā I muttered under my breath. I had no idea how long Iād been walking around the living room but by the time I checked my phone, it was past noon already. āNo way I just spent my entire morning doing absolutely nothing..ā I grumbled to myself as I tried to get myself back together but I heard a car pull up on the driveway and I paused. I wasnāt expecting anyone and that didnāt sound anything like the car Freya left with. I took a deep breath and strolled into the foyer, expecting to see Rowan walk through my door. After a few minutes, the front door swung
Chapter 170FreyaI knew by the look on Caelanās face that he didnāt want to hear what I had to say, but this was the only efficient way of clearing his name. āThese people already have a narrative of you in their minds, all thanks to your commander. So what better way to clear your name than to give them something else to worry about?ā I urged on, hoping heād see reason with me. āIsnāt there any other way that doesnāt involve me letting them in on my personal life?ā He asked, grunting like an injured lion. āIām afraid there isnāt. You said something about getting a confession from your brother, but we both know that isnāt going to work in any way.ā I pressed on. āIf you doubt me, then give it a try. Get your brother in a lonely place and try to get a confession out of him, letās see if heāll budge. From what Iāve seen so far, Lucian isnāt one to be played a fool so easily..ā His face darkened he sank into the backrest, playing with the hem of his shirt as he pondered over what I
Chapter 169Caelan Freya lay in my arms, breathing softly as I stroked her hair. As her slight snore echoed in the room, I knew she had dozed off already. I carefully placed her head back on her pillow and quietly climbed down from the bed. I leaned back in and placed a kiss on her forehead before slipping out of the room as stealthily as I could. The moment I got out, I walked briskly towards the front door. Darkness had already covered the entire sky but I couldnāt rest knowing there was an oncoming storm at the training camp. I took out my phone and dialed Darenās number before I even got to my car and it connected at the first ring, like he was already waiting for me. āSirā¦āāWhatās the status over there?ā I asked. āThereās no sign of any ambush yet. Weāve combed all the possible hideouts around the camp and theyāre all emptyā he replied. A sigh of relief escaped my lips at least and I revved my engine. āWhatās the matter Daren? You donāt sound happy that there might be no
Chapter 168FreyaāWhat do you intend on doing about your brother?ā I asked Caelan after he calmed down. āI have no idea. But whatever I have to do, I need to prove to the commander and every other person whoās aware of these fingerprints that I had nothing to do with the attacks..ā he responded. I rolled my eyes and sank deeper into the sofa, āTell me something I donāt know..ā I muttered to myself, tucking some loose strands of hair behind my ear. The only excitement I felt inside was knowing that Rowanās end was around the corner. The moment Umbra tells us that she has the spell, Iāll do everything it takes to lure Rowan into his own doom. He wonāt know what hit him. But in the meantime, I need to put my anger to the side for now and help Caelan prove his innocence. He hurt my feelings but that doesnāt mean he deserves any of these things that are happening to him. āHow do you plan on getting proof?ā I asked, rubbing my palms together. āMy brother needs to confess to framing m
Chapter 167FreyaāUmbra, since Caelan is still finding it difficult to remember who you are or how he helped you, can you please refresh his memory so he doesnāt end up stressing over it?ā I urged. She looked up at me, grinning from ear to ear like she had just met a celebrity and was so geeked up about it. āYouāre one bright star in his life, are you aware of that?ā Her voice echoed with pure joy. I stole a glance at Caelan and quickly took my eyes away. She might be right, but I certainly donāt feel like a star right now. I feel betrayed, I feel lied to, I feel doubted. I feel like a fool for trusting him with the entirety of my being and yet he thought it wise to hold back the important things about him from me. I may be a star as she says, Iām just not an important one. āCan we at least focus on why youāre here and what you claim you can help us with?ā I cut in and she nodded. āFirstly, you need to te
Chapter 166CaelanAurora left and I sat alone in the living room, my head spiraling as the commanderās words echoed in my head over and over again. The documents lay on the table in front of me, the evidence of my fingerprints being spotted after the attack glaring back at me. An undeniable fact that would take the grace of the moon goddess for me to prove otherwise and I knew what was at stake here. Imagine what my people would think of me, should word of this get out in the open. And to think that greedy commander was ready to make something for himself out of this situation. The main question here is, how did my fingerprints get there? Iāve not been at the camp since the last attack and even then, I never visited the site. I was on my way back there when word of Freyaās disappearance came and I dropped everything else to find her. Whoever did this, must have put in so much effort into framing me and thereās no one else on this earth that would do something of this sort and t
CHAPTER 2Freyaās povāLook at her hair,ā someone whispered, barely above a breath, as if speaking any louder might give away her uncertainty. āThereās no way sheās really the Alpha heiress. An omega?ā another voice cut in, low and filled with nothing but disbelief. But just as I felt something w
FREYA'S POVToday was the day.I checked my reflection one last time, smoothing the soft blue fabric of my gown. Three years. Three years of waiting, of proving myself, of loving Rowan with everything I had. And today, at his coronation ceremony, he would finally choose me as his Luna.As the only

CHAPTER 5Freyaās 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.
