Sunset had dawned and the vampires were ready for their journey back to their coven, Julian and Claudia with Alaric who had an unreadable expression bid their farewell to the wolves “ it seems my daughter does not want to see us off” Julian huffed out as they looked around and Freya did not come down to tell them goodbye Kaiden had held himself enough not to eye-roll at Julian because he knew the man cared very little for Freya and was just pretending While Lucian made no note of it as it was her choice, he had also tried to talk to her before on the balcony but she rejected his advances. Claudia had looked around once more and smiled with a knowing evil look, that Diandra wasn’t also here, giving them one last greeting before they left the park grounds. . . Freya had been in the room after her encounter with Claudia, she could still feel Lucien’s warm hands wrapped around her waist, and she still could breathe in his scent She tried to close her eyes and sleep even though she
Freya was in the bathtub, the hot water seeped through her dirty skin and warmed her up and she washed up the dirt, She laid back basking in the silence, but every time she closed her eyes it felt like she was back in the woods She had come out of the water taking a towel to wrap around herself when the door opened up, it was Lucian, one would say it was almost comical to see the alpha king holding a large tray with food, as he entered her room He had noticed she was wearing only a towel his eyes racked over her body before he walked forward to drop the food on a table “ you need to eat Freya” “ I need to wear something first” she called with reason, he had turned around giving her privacy as he heard her shuffle into a gown, He knew She was done when she had walked forward, to stand in his front, the nightwear did so little to hide her body under the sheer thin clothe He sat on the chair, watching her taking a very spoonful of the food, she hissed when the hot soup touched her s
Freya had slept deeply after that, and to her disappointment, Lucien didn’t come back and she didn’t dare hope, her body had finally given up everything that had happened came crashing down, causing heavy weight on her body, as she was tired She Dozed into a deep sleep after hopeless hours of waiting, but before sunrise, the door had opened up, she was far too tired to open her eyes, her eyelid felt heavy, and she had felt the figure come close to her body, giving her a small kiss on her forehead before departing Freya had slept for hours on end, tossing and turning when necessary but never woke up to eat, not until it was mid-afternoon, She had felt heavy clothes thrown on her “ wake up Princess !” She heard Kaiden call as she woke up, he looked amused at finding her asleep She had bed hair and she felt like she had been thrown bricks, even though the swelling had all gone down, especially the bust on her lip that had closed up. “ Kaiden? What are you-” “ you need to stand up pr
“It’s you”. Freya uttered in a Low tone, who else would try to kill her, who knew the tower and who had threatened her since the very first day they had met? Everyone in the pack knew the long-standing hate the she-wolf had against her, she knew the pack people had yet to accept her, they still saw her as a prisoner owned by their alpha, but Diandra saw her as a threat. “ what do you mean me?” Diandra snarled, her eyes narrowed darkly at Freya like she was daring the nineteen-year-old to continue “you know what I’m talking about! You’d sent those men after me” she accused “I didn’t!” She scoffed looking appalled by Freya’s accusations as she turned to Lucien “ how dare she accuse me! You seem to forget that your sister and family who seem to dislike were also here that day!” “Freya your accusation is-“ “ baseless!” She wolf cried angrily, she was in defense mode, “ Lucien, you made me promise not to start any fight, why would I do that?” Diandra asked Freya knew Diandra would d
•FREYA•.“ tell us everything from the beginning child” Kara spoke to me, as the three wolves gathered in Lucien’s study, they were all quiet about the tattoo I had explained everything about my life and that I was not originally born in the vampire coven, and that my mother died the day I was born “ I was told by my dad to never let anyone in the vampire coven see it, he told me never to show anyone, but to be honest it felt like a burden” I explained “It hurt when someone tried to touch it, but that was different when ….” I traced it as my gaze moved to Lucien, when he had touched me, I felt good, it felt right but I didn’t dare say that out loud. “ My sense is now all heightened, at first it just showed up when I was in danger or my emotions were heightened, but now I can hear and smell things that I couldn’t” I had explained all that to see all of them looking at me, their looks filled with surprise at my story, “ The prophecy, I had dreamed it, months ago, I dreamt about a
What do I do? What do I say? Freya thought to herself panicked as she was still taken aback by Kaiden’s confession, that the prince had feelings for her, was she so oblivious to his flirting and jokes that she didn’t see he meant it? That he wanted her, he could have any other girl, better and far less complicated with so many troubles She couldn’t even meet his eyes again, trying to figure out what to say, Kaiden had broken the silence with a laugh, “ there are many things that can render you speechless princess even a confession, but you don’t have to get shocked and awkward with me” He called before rising out of his seat, his muscles flexed as he arranged his top, giving her his signature smile, she had seen that faded wound that he used a bandage to cover a few weeks back on his arm, it was healed now but left a mark and it was teeth marks that had healed. “ you never really told me what happened with your arm,” Freya asked looking at the closed wound “ ..the night of the blo
Freya had woken up the next day, putting on her clothes the next day as she went out to the garden, even if she didn’t want to say it, she was avoiding Kaiden She had gone to the garden, picking and planting flowers and small trees kara had taught her how to plant, and being in the garden had helped her think and clear her mind, as it was a quiet place Her mind had gone back to what Kara had said the night they went to her room, she didn’t notice someone had walked in until the person was behind her She had turned, putting herself in a defensive stance ready to attack the stranger “ wait! Princess! It’s just me” Kaiden called holding her hands His other hand had gone to her waist As he pushed her closer, till they Almost shared the same breath and their lips were inches apart, “ Kaiden doesn’t scare me like that!” She buffed out, pushing his chest so his hands would release his hold on her waist, to create a distance between them He had looked for high stools to sit on, facing he
“Diandra stop it!” Kara voiced out stepping in between them, “ this is not the time and place to do this! Lucien is getting treated and you do not have any evidence to prove your claim!” That made Diandra calm down, the door then opened up to the doctor who had come out “ he is stable now, I have removed the poison” The three women entered the room to see his heavy breathing had calmed down, his body was healing and a sigh of relief escaped me, even though what Diandra said was still Freya’s head, that he was getting married to her. Kaiden who sat on a chair noticed her and smiled at Freya Before she quickly left the room when she saw. Lucien steer in his sleep, She didn’t want to see him, don’t want to meet his eyes, that her anger would melt into a puddle She didn’t want to be tricked again. . . An emergency meeting among the four packs was called, it was a big commotion in the pack when the vampire had come in, but it was an emergency the pack was not happy so it was decided
