Freya’s Pov.

"Bruno," I breathed, managing a small smile as my heart raced for entirely different reasons. If he had heard the conversation between my mother and me, we would be dead by morning. "What brings you here so late?" I fluttered my lashes in a disarming manner, but Bruno was already over it.

"Freya, I need to speak with you, and I demand that you do not interrupt me." Bruno looked me dead in the eye. All traces of the fake smile he had put on earlier at lunch vanished into thin air. He had an aura of authority hanging above his head, and it took all the fibre of my being to fight the urge to show my neck in submission.

Mother quickly set down her wine glass and smoothed her skirts. "I'll give you two some privacy," she murmured, gathering her book and gliding toward the back door with practiced grace. I knew she would listen to our conversation, but I did not mind that.

  • In Love With The Scared Alpha    Blackness

    FREYA’S POVMy claws extended involuntarily as I paced my parent’s spacious sitting room, The Persian rug beneath my feet suffered from my aggressive stomping. Lunch with the Luna did not quite go as I had expected, and Bruno’s resolve was weakening by the day. I could not loose everything after coming this far. I just couldn’t.“Can you stop all this frantic pacing. The scent of your anxiety is thick in the air, a suffering to my enhanced sense of smell.” My mother said from the couch where she was perched, reading a book on witches."He's getting too close, Mother." My voice came out as a growl, my wolf stirring restlessly beneath my skin, banging on the window that controlled my human form. "Bruno has been pining for that wretched girl even after everything.” “You know, if you continue pacing about in that manner, Wrinkles will appear on your face and by the time your mating ceremony comes around, you’d look like an old hag” My mother joked, still immersed in the volume she held

  • In Love With The Scared Alpha    Sharp cuttings

    Bruno’s PovAfter the tense meeting with my father and the Alpha of Blackcrest pack, Freya appeared at the perfect moment to escort me to lunch with my mother. Her presence had become suffocating—a slow poison that drained every ounce of life and will from my spirit. The hatred I harboured for her ran deeper than marrow, though she remained blissfully unaware of the contempt that festered within me.Freya was the antithesis of everything Lyra had been. Where Lyra possessed peace and soft femininity, Freya was all calculated smiles and hollow perfection. The cruel truth wasn't lost on me—ridding myself of Freya would prove infinitely more challenging than casting aside Lyra, my true mate.Lyra's downfall had been her bloodline's connection to traitors; a weakness she had no control over. But Freya's armour was impenetrable; her parents served as Betas to mine, their loyalty beyond question. Our union represented more than mere marriage—it was a political alliance that would fortify the

    Bruno’s pov"Arise and shine, my love. We have a busy day ahead of us." Freya's high-pitched voice echoed through my room as she drew my curtains apart, flooding my space with the golden rays of sunlight. After a sleepless night of thinking about Lyra and my harshness toward her, the last thing I wanted to hear was Freya's grating voice. I pressed the pillow to my ears as I turned away from the windows."Oh, come on, Bruno," Freya whined even louder, her voice taking on that petulant tone I'd grown to despise. "You can't just lie there all day feeling sorry for yourself. You have a lot to do between preparation for our mating ceremony and meetings with the pack elders. The Luna expects us to review the guest list by noon, and we still haven't finalized the ceremonial arrangements.""Please, I beg of you, let me be!" I snapped, pressing the pillow even tighter against my ears. "Can't you see I need some peace? Some quiet?""Peace? Quiet?" Freya laughed, the sound sharp and mocking. "Yo

    Tyris PovI had hoped that this little trick of mine was more than enough to tear Rockan and Lyra apart, but I was wrong. I watched in disappointment as she went running to Rockan after she regained consciousness. My blood boiled with jealousy as they professed an undying love for each other and a promise to stick together. I stormed off, angry that my plan had failed. Fury coursed through my veins like liquid fire. My hands trembled with rage as I slammed my bedroom door, the sound reverberated through the corridor like a gunshot, threatening to rattle the windows. The image of Lyra's tender acceptance of Rockan's scars burned in my mind, each action of hers a fresh wound to my already bleeding pride. Despite my perfect face, I had been unable to win the one woman I cherished. "Damn it all to hell!" My roar was no different from that of a deranged beast as my fist connected with the white wall beside me. The impact sent a sharp pain shooting up my arm, but it was nothing compared to

  • In Love With The Scared Alpha    Not as good

    Lyra’s POVThe pack members are gathered on the training ground, staring my parents down with scornful eyes. They knelt there in the dirt, denying every allegation of the coup. Aunt Rosa stood beside Luna Delilah, whispering something into her ear, eyes blazing with malice. “Please, Alpha, believe me, we would never betray you.” My father pleaded desperately. From his groan of pain, I could tell that the silver bane injected into his system had begun to wreak its poisonous effects on his already battered body. I stared at Alpha Luke, hoping he would believe my parents and pardon them. I could feel their innocence deep within my guts. But I was too little to help them. Four-year-old me could only hide in an obscure corner and watch helplessly as the accusations against my parents intensified. “For what you have done, Maximus, you and your mate must be executed.” Alpha Luke proclaimed.“No, not my daddy and mummy,” I sobbed quietly, closing my eyes in anguish as a warrior stepped forw
