LOGINFreya’s POV:
“Here comes the bad blood.” A chubby woman, whose weight was enough to crush a king-sized bed said as I stepped into the eatery. I hissed under my breath, and walked straight to the attendant without saying a thing. “I would love a plate of…” A sudden force knocked me over, sending the remaining words back to my vocal cord. I staggered a few steps, hitting my head against the glass table. A big rough hand suddenly grabbed me by my hair, pulled my head up and tore the face towel away from my face. It was the chubby woman. A wave of roaring laughter swept across the place. I yanked her hand away, a rush of annoyance gushing through my nerves. “So, it is true you were slapped by Vanessa?” She asked, her voice laced with mockery. I sighed. Turned to the attendant who also seemed to be enjoying the show, and dropped some notes on the counter. “Get me a bowl of rice, please.” I said to her, but before she could reach for the money, the chubby woman immediately grabbed the notes from the counter. I ran my palms over my hair, then across my face. A frustrated sigh escaped me. “What the hell do you want from me?” I muttered in between gritted teeth. My eyes pierced through hers. She scoffed. “Declan is not here to defend you. What can the daughter of a traitor like you do alone?” My blood ran cold. That was it. She had pushed her luck too far. A smirk crept up my lips. “At least I don’t spend my days chasing weak omegas just to end up rejected every single time.” Her face flushed in embarrassment as my voice cut through her ears. Everyone gasped, and some couldn’t contain their laughter and began to laugh so hard. I snatched my money from her, dropped it in front of the attendant and grabbed a plate of food. The woman still stood in shock. Her mouth wide opened, and eyeballs popped out of their sockets. I let out a dry smile as I walked past her. “Swallowing a fly would only add to your problems, so shut that grumpy hole of yours.” A resounding laughter hit the ground like an earthquake that threatened to tear apart the whole building. I took a deep breath as I walked out of the eatery. The troubles were never ending. I tied the face towel across my face, and headed straight to my house. I had only walked a few distance when something flew right across my face, landing at my feet. I took a glance. It was Quinn’s book. I raised my head sharply, and saw a figure cut across a corner. I picked up the book and instantly followed the figure. Quinn was most likely in trouble. “Go back Freya, go back!” Quinn screamed as I stepped into an abandoned old building. “Quinn!” I yelled on top of my voice. I rushed towards him but was immediately pulled back by a strong hand that threatened to dislocate my arm from my shoulder. The food I held in my hand dropped, and the contents soiled by earth. A mocking laughter suddenly filled the room as Brett stepped out from one of the rooms. “Look who we have here. Declan’s side chick?” He mocked, while his friends burst out laughing. “If you are man enough, Brett, come after me. Leave the innocent child alone.” I screamed at him, as I struggled to free myself from his friend’s grip. Brett laughed. He took a few steps close to me, and slowly dragged his finger across my face. “What a pity. Your face is disfigured from Vanessa’s slap.” He giggled, and I spat on his face angrily. He wiped off the saliva from his face and scoffed. “He will pay for that.” He mumbled, his voice barely above a whisper. He turned around and charged towards Quinn. “Brett! Leave him alone. Don’t you dare touch…” “Flash!” He landed a kick right across Quinn’s legs causing him to drop face-down to the floor. The remaining words got stuck in my throat, and everything seemed to stop moving as I stared at Quinn lying on the floor, his face bruised. “That is what you get for associating with a traitor, a bad blood.” He spat on him. He didn’t stop there. He took all of Quinn’s books and tore them to pieces. “This should teach you a valuable lesson!” He laughed, dumping the torn pieces all over Quinn’s head. “Let’s go, boys.” He ordered, taking the lead out of the building. His friend released me, and I hurried to Quinn, lifting him up. To my greatest shock, Quinn smiled as I lifted him up “I am fine, Freya. They can’t hurt me.” He grinned, his full teeth visible. I sighed. Took a glance all over his body, and helped him dust his clothes with my right hand while I pinched myself at the back with my other hand. “They’ve gone too far, and they will pay for their sins!” Vanessa’s POV: “So what do you think, general Rhodes?” I uttered with a smile, stared at the pack’s general as I sipped from my glass of wine. I dropped the glass on the table, rested my back on the chair and crossed my left leg across the right. “My lady. I…” The general stuttered, his eyeballs dashing sideways as he avoided direct eye contact with me. My smile widened. I dipped my hand into my bag, and took out a disc which I placed on the table, right in front of the general. He raised his head sharply at me, then fixed his gaze on the disc. “Insert it.” I ordered, pointing my hand at the DVD player that sat in the corner of the room. He sat still, eyes still fixed on the disc. He knew the contents of the disc, his past trauma, a pain he bore for over twenty years. The smile I had on suddenly dissipated as I sat up. “Did you forget how your family died? Your wife! Your children! How they all died tragically because of Nolan's family! Did you forget them all?!” I screamed at him. I banged my hand on the table, and he finally rested his eyes on me. “It was all in the past!” He said meekly. “NO! You are wrong. It’s the present. Freya is still out there. She is a dangerous temptation, and she is lurking around Declan!” I yelled out once again. My voice echoed across the room, and I could feel hot blood coursing through my veins at double speed. “If another war breaks out because of the traitor’s daughter, how many people would lose their lives. Do you think Declan will still be able to keep his position as the future Alpha? Heck! Do you think you will be able to keep your head on your neck?” I paused. Leaned my head forward, and smirked. “Remember how you moved that blade through her father’s head, how you cut through her mother’s…” “Stop! Just stop it, okay?” He burst out suddenly, cutting me out of my words. I smiled. Leaned back on my chair as I watched him take a deep breath. “You are right! Freya is a bug that needs to be taken care of before she spreads her influence across the pack. I will discuss with Alpha Victor now, and I believe we will reach a consensus about it. I doubt she will be a thorn in the flesh in the coming days.” He said to me, and a slow grin spread across my lips. My plan had worked!Freya’s POV:I gently placed the clipboards on a table, took off my clothes and shoes before jumping on my bed. It was a very hectic day, and I could feel every part of me begging for a rest.I switched off the light, and pulled the blanket over me. I laid there for about an hour, my eyes were widely opened, and not even an ounce of sleep graced my eyes. My mind drifted back to the day. The mate bond. I turned on the bed as I fell deeper into my thoughts. The son of the man who killed my parents was my mate. Wouldn’t I betray my parents if I accepted the mate bond?“I think they would want you to be happy.” My wolf, Vanya, said to me, and my face wrinkled.“You think?”“Yeah…I mean… they wouldn’t want you to indulge yourself in hatred. They would want the best for you wherever they are.” She continued.I took a deep breath. “So, you want me to accept the mate bond?” “If you truly love him. Why not?” She replied with a yawn.“Don’t let grudges of the past stand in your way with Decla
Declan’s POV:A rush of hot blood coursed through my nerves as my eyes caught a hold of Vanessa. She stood right beside the school’s gate, lips pouted, and eyelids furrowed. She folded her arms across her chest, and her legs vibrated on the spot.A smirk slowly spread across her face, after which she turned to take her leave. I knew her presence meant nothing but trouble. So, I turned to Freya.“I have to go now.” I said to her. My eyes drifted in between hers.“Quinn…” She mumbled with a breaking voice. She grabbed my hand, and I could see fear written boldly in her eyes. I smiled. It was the first time she touched me willingly.“He is going to be fine. I promise.” I assured her. “I know you are scared of Vanessa reporting about the incident to the Alpha. So, I have to leave now. At least, before she makes things so bad.” She nodded her head, and then uttered a ‘thanks’.I gently grabbed the back of her head with my hand, my smile widening as I moved closer so she could inhale my sc
Freya’s POV:I pulled Quinn up, and held his hand tightly as Declan stormed towards us. His hand trembled, vibrating nervously in my grip. I gently shoved him behind me.“It’s going to be well.” I muttered to him. Declan was now about ten feet away. I swallowed hard, preparing my mind for what’s about to come next. To my greatest shock, Declan winked as he walked past us without saying a word. My eyes followed him, and I wondered what he was up to. He walked into the chancellor’s office, and about five minutes later, Brett was summoned into the chancellor’s office. I took a quick glance at Quinn, who was still trembling nervously. Other students stared and pointed fingers at him.“It’s going to be fine.”“Is he a beast? How could he push Brett so hard against the wall?” A female student yelled. I flung my eyes immediately at her, and before I could say a thing, others also began yelling, and the situation intensified in seconds.I pulled Quinn into my embrace, covered his ears with
Quinn’s POV:It was a particularly sunny day. The sun shone brightly that even the silver-colored asbestos roof radiated immense heat. I had a very low tolerance to heat, and the fan in the room was doing close to nothing to help the situation.Professor Madelyn stood in front of the class. Her eyes scanned through the textbook on her hand. “We are done with algebra. We will be moving to Indices.” Her voice came out and the whole class buzzed almost immediately. It turned out I was not the only one who hated algebra.The class went on for about an hour, and I was not sure I heard a single thing the professor said throughout the session. My mind drifted away. To Freya. I wondered if she was being bullied at the moment. Truth is, there’s no difference between her and I. I’ve also been a victim of bullies all my life. I was just an omega who attended a school meant for werewolf Alphas and probably some Betas who had the strong connection to enter the academy. I was offered to study in t
Freya’s POV:“Do you know how expensive those clipboards are, Freya? This is the second time you are breaking them.” Gus, my boss screamed as he heightened his steps towards me. “Oh! I…I am sorry. I will visit the store now to replace them.” I stammered. I hurriedly wiped the sweat that formed on my forehead and bent down to clear the broken pieces when Gus suddenly rubbed a wipe against my feet.“Look at you. You didn't even know you were bleeding. Always take care of yourself, Freya.” He mumbled with a sigh.“Thanks, boss.”“Take some money from the safe, get the clipboards and find something to eat also.” He said as he dumped the blood-stained wipe in the bin. He turned on the tap and rinsed his hand. He threw a quick glance at me, and sighed once again.“Look, Freya. I don’t know what your relationship is with the alpha prince, but I am sure you know what the stakes are, right?” “Yeah… I am just…I am fine. Thank you.” I managed to say, forcing a smile on my lips.He nodded his h
Declan’s POV: “You really hit the general so hard. What will people say if words get out? The Alpha prince kicked the pack’s general for a bad blood.” Rhys said as we walked down the lane leading to the autoshop. “I don’t care.” I mumbled. I suddenly stopped and turned to face him. “Wait. Whose side are you on?” I asked, and his eyes popped at my question. “What? Your side obviously.” He replied immediately. His head moved rhythmically on his neck. “It doesn’t look like it.” I paused, shaking my head at him. “And don’t you ever, I mean ever call her bad blood again!” I roared at him. I could see shock written all over his face because of the way I yelled at him, but I wasn’t sorry. I turned and continued my walk down to the autoshop. I heard Rhys sigh, and he began to quicken his pace to catch up with me. “I am sorry, man. I just don’t want you to forget who you are and put the whole pack at risk.” He said, and a heavy sigh escaped me. “Don’t you get it, Rhys? Freya is also on
Freya’s POVThe world stopped spinning. For a moment, there was no cold drizzle, no mud on my jeans and no shadow of the past hanging over me.. there was only the heat of Declan’s mouth against mine warmly firm… then reality slammed into me.I shoved his chest with every ounce of strength I had. I
Declan’s POVMy boots felt like they were filled with lead as I walked toward my father’s study... or as everyone called it, the throne room. My heart was doing a frantic drum solo against my ribs. I could already hear his voice, that low, rumbling thunder that promised a storm of disappointment.D
Declan's POV“I swear, if I have to listen to one more elder drone on about border patrol rotations, I’m going to shove my own fist in my mouth.”I tossed the dagger into the air, watching the light glint off the polished steel before catching it by the hilt with a satisfying smack against my palm.
Freya's POV “Traitors! Filth! Death to the Nolans!”The screams of the crowd slammed into me from all sides, a physical force that made my small body tremble. The air was thick with the smell of angry sweat and rain-soaked earth. I was seven years old, lost in a forest of angry legs, my tiny hand
