Freya's pov

“I'm really sorry. I know you were hoping for a different result but the test shows you are not pregnant," the doctor said softly, like she was scared it would break me.

Maybe it did.

It wasn't exactly the news I was expecting.

I couldn't feel myself for a moment. I just felt numb, waiting for her to tell me she was wrong and they were not my result.

“Are you sure?" I asked, my chest tightening. I couldn't even look at her face because if I did, I might cry. I was so close.

How could I be empty again? What was wrong with me? Is it wrong to want something that was mine? To be called a mother?

She nodded. "Yes. Luna Freya. I am sure.”

My hands trembled under the table. Luna? It almost felt like a mockery. I was nothing but a disappointment. A disgrace.

I still couldn't believe what I was hearing as I whispered. “But I have been feeling sick. I even fainted two days ago…I thought… I thought maybe…”

I was finally carrying his pup. My mate's pup. Alpha Thorne. I would finally be useful. I needed to be useful or else he would discard me again, just like my family did.

Because after three years of trying, praying, counting days, swallowing herbs and tonics, avoiding my favorite foods, you would tell me I wasn't pregnant?

My father had called me cursed. I didn't believe it then but he was right. I was barren and still I had no wolf.

The doctor sighed and pulled her chair closer. “Uh… stress can also cause fever and dizziness. Your body has been under a lot of pressure and I would recommend you take some time to rest.”

How could my body be under pressure? It had done nothing but fail me.

I stood up to leave. What was I going to tell Thorne? I couldn’t tell him. No, he mustn't find out.

“Wait!" the doctor called as my hand rested on the doorknob. She stood up from her chair and opened a small cabinet. She brought out a glass bottle with pale silver liquid and placed it in my hand.

“What is this?"

“That's the fertility elixir I told you about and you are to take this once in a day, take more rest and eat well. Hopefully you should see results soon,” the doctor said with a smile that I couldn't help but return.

So what? I had to trust this little thing and wait for my body to cooperate? So what if my husband runs out of patience entirely before then?

But I didn't say anything else and just nodded because that was what was easier to do now.

My legs shook as I walked. My heart was ripping into pieces that no one could see. This wasn't the way I had imagined the day to go.

The only thing stopping me from breaking apart was the elixir I clutched close to my chest.

As I turned the corner, the voices of the nurses filled my ears.

“That's her?... The Ruinfang Luna?"

“How many times now?"

“Fourth time this year. Negative again, from what I heard"

"Poor thing. I am hearing her husband is well… you know”

“With a wolf that never surfaced? I'm not even surprised. What Alpha wants a barren Luna who couldn't even…”

I forced myself to keep walking, just keep walking, don't stop.

But even after I left them, the word barren Luna followed me all the way to the door.

I cried. I couldn't hold it anymore. I was just like a dry land who couldn't grow anything no matter how much it tried. I had told myself that love could be earned if I just tried hard enough.

As I pulled open the door, I froze, standing beside the opened door of a packed black car, was my husband, Thorne and my sister, Ravenna.

What were they doing in the hospital?

They were laughing. It made my chest burn. He didn't smile like that with me.

They were talking to a doctor who stood in front of them. I didn't know how but my legs kept moving forward and the next words I heard stole my breath.

“Congratulations, Alpha Thorne," the doctor said, his hands in his pockets."The pregnancy is very healthy”

I stilled. Pregnancy? The Alpha whispered something into my sister's ears and she smiled sheepishly.

No. No. No.

It couldn't be what I was thinking. My husband and my sister together?

No way.

He wouldn't do that to me.

Maybe I should have left, and ignore what was so clear in front of me. The betrayal but my legs were already moving towards them even when everything in me was screaming to go home.

“Who is pregnant?" I screamed.

The doctor looked between us uncomfortably and left without another word from him. Smart.

“Freya…” Thorne began to say without bothering to remove his hands from my sister's waist.

I shook my head. I was so much more angry than the pain I was feeling. I focused more on the anger.

"I am asking a question!" I shouted. My eyes flicked to my sister. The same one I had shared a bed with till I was sixteen. The one who I ran to when I had a problem. When did it all change?

“Who are you pregnant for, Ravenna?"

The smile on my sister's face faded slightly. “That is not the conversation we are having here"

I scoffed. Really?

"Then where? Tell me, where do we have this conversation? I… I…” my voice broke but I kept on talking. "Why did I have to walk outside and find you standing outside with my husband and a doctor congratulating the two of you and now, you want to tell me which conversation we are having?”

“Lower…” Thorne shifted closer, his face wrinkling with rage. "Lower your voice, Freya”

I locked my eyes on him. I bit my tongue until I tasted blood. He was looking at me like… like I was an inconvenient thing he could file away.

“Did you know?" I asked, voice barely audible. “When I told you this morning that I was coming here, did you already know?"

He readjusted his stance. Well, that was answer enough.

"How long?” I couldn't stop myself from asking. I wasn't even ready for the answer.

The only thing ringing in my ears was his voice when he had claimed me.

“Come with me, Freya. Be my Luna and I will give you a place where you belong, and no one will ever make you feel like nothing again"

At that moment, I realized I had never been chosen. I had been replaced.

    Freya By the morning of the third day, every part of me hurt. Not enough to stop me, but just enough that I noticed every step.The straps of my bag dug into my shoulders, my boots had rubbed a sore spot against my left heel, and my lower back carried that dull, persistent ache that had become a familiar companion ever since the pregnancy began.I shifted the weight of the bag slightly and exhaled through my nose."Complaining already?" Eliza asked, amusement threading through her voice."I've been walking for three days." I shot back. "You've complained less than I expected." I could hear a snicker in her voice. "I was saving it." I rolled my eyes. She huffed what felt suspiciously like laughter, but said nothing else. The road rose gently beneath my feet, curving around a cluster of old oak trees before disappearing behind a rocky hillside.Caden's map had told me this would be the last bend before the capital came into view and for reasons I couldn't explain, my heartbeat s

    Freya By the second day, I stopped listening only with my ears.The road stretched ahead beneath a pale sky, winding between fields that slowly gave way to thicker woodland. The morning had been uneventful. Birds called from the branches overhead, and the steady rhythm of my boots against the packed earth had become almost comforting.It should have felt peaceful. Instead, something sat wrong beneath my skin.Eliza went completely still, not tense or restless, but still, and that was never a good sign. I had learned that silence from her meant more than panic ever could."What is it?" I asked quietly inside my own mind.She didn't answer immediately and she didn't need to.BShe was listening, feeling and waiting for the right answer to give. The hairs along the back of my neck rose and I resisted every instinct telling me to turn around. Instead, I kept walking exactly as I had been.I took one step, then another and another. The road behind me remained empty every time I glanced

    Freya The next morning when I left Thornfield, the world was painted in shades of grey.The sky hung low overhead, heavy with clouds that threatened rain but hadn't committed to it yet. Dew clung to every blade of grass, turning the fields silver in the pale dawn light.The settlement was only beginning to wake.Smoke rose from a few chimneys, somewhere in the distance, a door creaked open. A dog barked once, everything felt ordinary, and somehow that made leaving harder.My bag rested at my feet while I tightened the fastening on my coat for the third time.Mira had packed enough supplies for a small military campaign. I had dried meat, bread, a water flask, bandages, medicinal herbs and an extra wool layer folded so neatly it barely took any space.I suspected she would have packed half the kitchen if I hadn't stopped her. Inside my coat, and close against my chest, rested two things.Ragnar's letter, and Caden's map.The map had taken him nearly an entire evening to finish.He'

    Freya The kitchen was quieter after dinner, because most of the settlement had already drifted back toward their cabins or toward the fire pit outside where the last of the evening conversation still lingered in low murmurs. The heavy smell of stew and fresh bread remained thick in the warm air, mixing with wood smoke and herbs drying from the rafters overhead.Mira stood at the long counter scraping the remains of dough from a wooden bowl when I walked in.She glanced up once, and immediately knew I was there for something important.“Are you okay? You’ve been walking all day,” she said casually, rinsing her hands in a basin near the counter. “Either you’re planning a murder or a life change.”Despite myself, I let out the faintest breath of amusement. “Hopefully the second one.”“That’s usually how the first one starts too.” She dried her hands on a cloth before finally turning toward me fully. “What happened?”The humor faded from my face almost immediately and Mira noticed. She

    Freya I didn’t tell anyone what was in the letter. Not Mira, not Caden and not even Eliza beyond the pieces she had already felt through the broken remains of the bond.Some things needed silence before they could become decisions and this one was a part of them. I tried and failed to distract myself, and because with each passing second, my mind kept on circling back to the letter, I walked.I spent the entire next day moving through Thornfield like I was learning the shape of it all over again. The paths had become familiar enough now that my feet knew where to go without thought. I went past the outer cabins, along the fence line, and through the narrow trail behind the storage sheds where the ground dipped slightly before rising again toward the western ridge.I even walked the same perimeter Caden had shown me in the dark nights ago. Only this time, I wasn’t memorizing escape routes, I was thinking.The air smelled like thawing earth and wet bark, the cold season slowly loos

    Freya The morning Davan arrived, the sky hung low and silver over Thornfield. The air smelled like wet soil and frost beginning to retreat, and the fields beyond the settlement fence had turned soft from thawing ground. I had spent most of the morning helping Petra reinforce one of the smaller garden plots before the next rain came through.Mostly, though, I’d wanted something to do with my hands, because thinking had become dangerous lately.I was standing near the outer fence line brushing dirt from my palms when I saw the rider emerge through the trees.At first glance, he didn’t look remarkable. He was on a dark horse, in a dark cloak, and his posture controlled. But there was something about the way he moved that immediately pulled every instinct in me taut.Eliza lifted her head instantly, not in fear, but recognition. The rider slowed as he approached the gate, and even before I fully saw his face, I knew who it was.Davan.He dismounted smoothly, boots hitting the ground wi

    Freya's pov “Hold still, Freya. You are going to ruin the braid," Sera said. “I am holding still" Her fingers paused in my hair and she met my eyes in the mirror. “You are holding still? You look like you are having a full conversation inside your head," she sighed. "Whatever you are arguing wi

    Mine. Mine. Mine.My wolf screamed over and over, like she had been waiting inside me to scream that word. The Alpha king's grip tightened around my hand. I looked up at him and found that he was already looking at me, his eyes wide. My knees buckled and I quickly caught the bar of the cage with m

    Freya's pov Hours, days and weeks passed and Thorne hadn't come to check on me, except for the maids who had brought in food. He locked me in my room, scared that I would leave him.I prayed for a miracle and one day, the miracle came in form of his beta. He took one look at me and hissed. “Luna"

    Freya's pov “Don't marry him," Ravenna, my sister, had said when I told her that I was leaving with Thorne. I was so confused that day. Why wasn't she happy for me? “He chose me," I shot back. "He chose me as his mate.” She wouldn't know what it was like to be chosen for once because, even befor
