Freya

The morning of the ritual, I woke before dawn.

For a few seconds, I lay still beneath the blankets, staring at the ceiling while my mind slowly caught up with the date.

Then I remembered and pushed myself out of bed.

There was no point pretending I wasn't nervous. My stomach had been tight since I opened my eyes, and Eliza had been awake almost as long as I had, but neither of us was panicking.

That was enough.

I washed my face with cold water and stood in front of the mirror.

    Freya The morning of the ritual, I woke before dawn.For a few seconds, I lay still beneath the blankets, staring at the ceiling while my mind slowly caught up with the date.Then I remembered and pushed myself out of bed.There was no point pretending I wasn't nervous. My stomach had been tight since I opened my eyes, and Eliza had been awake almost as long as I had, but neither of us was panicking.That was enough.I washed my face with cold water and stood in front of the mirror.My reflection looked tired.There were faint shadows beneath my eyes, and my face seemed paler than usual, but I also looked steady.I picked up my hair and braided it myself and I made sure there weren't any elaborate styles, flowers or jeweled pins. Just a simple braid that kept my hair away from my face.When I finished, I reached for the dress I had chosen the night before. It was plain, dark and comfortable with no pack markings embroidered into the fabric.There was no Luna insignia, no jewelry, n

    Freya “Freya?” I knew Sera's voice immediately so I pushed myself out of the chair and crossed the room, the heavy blanket still wrapped around my shoulders.When I opened the door, I found her standing in the hallway in a loose robe, her hair falling around her shoulders and two cups of steaming tea balanced carefully in her hands.She looked as tired as I felt.“You're awake,” I said.“So are you.”“What's that?” I glanced at the cups.“Tea?” Sera lifted one toward me.“Thank you.” I took it.Surprisingly, she didn't ask why I was awake, didn't ask whether I was frightened and didn't ask whether I'd been thinking about tomorrow either. She simply turned and walked toward the window. After a couple of seconds, I followed.We settled into the two chairs overlooking the city, our cups warming our hands, and for a while, neither of us said anything.The capital stretched beneath us, scattered lights glowing between dark rooftops. Somewhere in the distance, a carriage moved along the

    Freya I couldn't sleep.I had tried and God, I had tried.I had gone to bed at a reasonable hour, which felt almost laughable considering everything waiting for me in the morning. I had washed my face, changed into a loose nightdress, climbed beneath the blankets, and closed my eyes with every intention of forcing my body into rest.My body was tired, but my mind was not and the moment I closed my eyes, tomorrow appeared.I saw the council chamber, the raised platform, seven council members watching me, Thorne, the ritual and more importantly, my child.Every possibility seemed to split into another possibility before I could finish thinking about the first.I turned onto my side, then onto my back, then onto my other side, before I pulled the blanket higher.I closed my eyes, opened them again, but nothing worked, and Eliza wasn't helping.She had been restless since I lay down.Usually, when I was exhausted, she quieted with me. Tonight, she prowled slowly through the back of my

    Freya I reached for the handle, but Ravenna still didn't move. I opened the door and held it for her, then I looked back at my sister.“I appreciate the warning.” Her expression remained unreadable as I continued. “I'll see you at the ritual.”For several seconds, neither of us moved. Then Ravenna stood. She smoothed the front of her dress with the same effortless elegance she had worn when she arrived.She walked toward me, but when she reached the doorway, she stopped.For one brief moment, we stood close enough that I could remember being sixteen again.Her brushing my hair before a ceremony, her telling me to stand straighter, her whispering that people were always watching, her hand in mine, and her smile.All those years, all those memories, and now I couldn't tell which ones had been real.Ravenna stepped past me without another word. I watched her walk down the corridor until she disappeared around the corner. Then I closed the door.My hand remained on the handle as I lea

    Freya “Ravenna… were you ever pregnant?” the words echoed in the room, even after I'd asked. Ravenna’s smile on the other hand, held for one second, or maybe two. It was barely noticeable, but I caught it.I had spent sixteen years learning my sister's expressions so I knew the difference between her genuine smile and the one she wore when she was entertaining someone she didn't particularly like. I knew the slight lift of her left eyebrow when she was annoyed, the way her fingers curled against her palm when she was lying, and right now, Ravenna's smile held for exactly one second too long.Then it changed, not completely, but just enough.“What kind of question is that?” Her eyes sharpened.“A direct one.” I leaned back in my chair, studying her, because now, the room suddenly felt smaller.A moment ago, she had been sitting across from me in that beautiful dress, speaking softly about my health, my pregnancy, and my future. She had looked every inch the concerned older sister.

    Freya Ravenna arrived two days later. Nobody had invited her and that was the first thing I noticed.The second was that she had apparently decided that not being invited was only a minor inconvenience.Her message arrived shortly after breakfast.Sera handed it to me while I was sitting near the window, sorting through the papers I'd received from the council."Someone left this at the door."“Oh.” I looked at the folded parchment in her hand."Who?""One of Ravenna's attendants." Sera answered and my fingers stilled.Sera watched my face carefully as I took the message. The handwriting was elegant, but I recognized it immediately.I unfolded the paper, and started reading. Freya,I hope you will forgive me for coming without warning. I have been worried about you since hearing of your disappearance from the capital, and I would very much like to see you.I know there are things between us that have been left unsaid. I don't want another messenger or another person's interpretati

    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“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, w
