Freya felt horrified and her heart was beating really fast as she felt that she had finally fallen into Marie’s trap.“No, no.” Freya said as she shook her head slowly.“Is there anything wrong?” Marie asked as she moved closer to her, then she poured her a glass of water. “Have this.” Marie offered her kindly.But Freya looked at her awkwardly especially as she noticed that she was no longer feeling pain in her stomach.“What just happened?” Freya asked, but her eyes were roaming around the floor as she was trying to understand what truly happened.“How? Did something wrong happen?” Marie asked Freya again.But Freya who had realized that she wasn't poisoned, but probably because she felt she could, a little pain from her stomach caused her to overreact.“No, never mind. The food is delicious.” Freya said and smiled.Since the food was without poison, she immediately gobbled it up due to how delicious it was and she kept nodding her head in approval of it's delicacy while eating. Mar
Back at the redemption pack, some people who knew Freya were a little worried about her while some others just felt like she had left the pack to be on her own.Logan and Xaden were on that bridge. But the only difference was that Logan felt it was Xaden who helped her escape, but won't speak.“I said tell me where she is right now!” Logan voiced out in anger as he drove a punch to Xaden’s left cheek.Xaden's head turned to the other direction as a result of the punch and blood trickled from the left corner of his lips, down to his chin and dropped just once to the ground. He was bound to a wall in the dungeon prison and could in no way escape the wicked grasp of the iron bars.“I keep telling you; I have nothing to do with this. Don't you think I would have fled with her if I actually helped her escape?” “No, man. We caught you looking around like a suspect, so you were probably about to make your own way out, but you were unfortunate as you should be.”“Come on, Logan. I was also l
Freya looked back at Marie who was smiling wickedly.“Why would you care which way I choose to die, anyway? I'll rather not die in your hands.” Freya voiced out to her, but Marie frowned.“Get the hell away from there right now or I won't make your death an easier one.” Marie threatened in anger.Freya felt that for Marie to be so keen on not allowing her so close to the maze only meant that there was something important in there and she feels that there is a chance she might find it.“You are not the one to choose how I'll die.” Freya said in between her teeth and stepped in, then closed the door shut.Knowing that Marie might be able to find her easily in the maze, she started searching around if she would probably see a main power switch.“We must have been the most stressful guest she has ever had.” Her wolf uttered.“I bet. But this is going to be the end of her because she can't keep living around here and luring innocent people into the maze or getting them killed to her amusem
Before Marie could get so close to her, she turned off the biggest switch in there and Marie halted abruptly and powered down.“Yes! Yes! We did it! We did it!” Freya rejoiced happily with her wolf, feeling on top of the world.Freya was so happy that she had finally accomplished the task which felt impossible before and just couldn't wait back to the woman and inform her that she has finally granted her desires.“Now, how do we get back?” Her wolf asked, and that brought Freya to the next reality.But fortunately for them, a portal opened up.“I think that's our ride back to the one who gave us the task.” Freya said with a smile.Then she shut the door that held all power switch and moved the robot somewhere a little far from the door, and destroyed it. After destroying it, she dashed towards the portal and walked into it with peace filling her heart.As she entered, she found herself back to the garden where the woman was reading.“Ma’am! I'm back.” Freya announced to her.The woman
Freya’s PovSeeing him look at me with no expression on his face, I felt everything inside of me go tense and frozen. I couldn’t just tell what was going on in his head and what he could do to me if he got too mad.“You, Freya. Where. Have. You. Been?” He asked, saying the words one after the other.My fingers were beginning to tremble, but I took my hands to the back to ensure that he wouldn’t see it. If he saw my fingers trembling, then any word I was going to cook up for him, there was a high chance that he wouldn’t believe it or take it serious.But I wasn’t going to tell him of my journey to the other realm as I had no time to explain what could bring me more stress or trouble. With the kind of person that he is, he might want me to take him there to prove it or might even have ridiculous thoughts like leading the people there and calling it home.“Well, I’ve been in hell.” I responded with a straight face as well.And his eyebrows creased in confusion.“Hell? How?”“A few days a
Freya’s PovIt was nightfall already and It had been an hour since I woke up, but I wanted to be certain that I was mentally prepared for what Logan had to say. A knock came on my door and I looked towards that direction, then got down from my bed and walked up to the door.“Who is it?” I asked calmly.“It’s Derek. Logan asked that you should see him at the field.” He informed me.“Alright, thanks.” I said, and turned to my bed.“Uhm… I kind of want to see you briefly; if you don’t mind opening the door.That voice was a little familiar, and yes, my curiosity to remember who it was, and to know what he had to say, got the best of me.I turned the key and then opened the door only to see that same man who had been torturing Xaden like he hated him from his mother’s womb.“It’s you.” I said as a part of me was still behind the door. “Yeah. I just wanted to apologize for being too overwhelmed by the stress I went through, without thinking about what you could have gone through personall
Freya's Pov The next day, I woke up early with my mind still on what Logan told me. Alpha Daemon was still alive. The more I thought about it, the more my anger and fear got intense. That man traumatized me and seized the best moments I could ever have in my childhood days. He is the worst nemesis one could ever have, and just when I thought he was dead, I'm being told he's still alive, and worst of all, he wants me.“I rebuke for that moment to ever come.” I said under my breath and shook my head as I didn't want thoughts of him chaining me down again in his pack.“The next time we ever set our eyes on him as a pack, I hope Logan and some others drive a knife to his heart.” I said with clenched teeth.I didn't want to care if he was Xaden’s father because as long as he lived, he was going to continue to haunt me and make me feel like the only person with a horrible destiny.A knock came on the door and I brushed my hair to the back with my hands, feeling a little frustrated. For on
Freya’s Pov“Arrows? Well, I won’t say I’m good at that. But we can find someone who can do that here. What do you think?” He asked me with a smile on his face.“I don’t really know how good that can be, but maybe I might know someone we can ask. But you have to like it.”“Who?” He asked, looking curious.“Derek.” I replied, and broke eye contact with him.I wasn’t certain if he was going to be okay with it especially because Derek really tortured him and that might have made them enemies, but it would be better to ask Derek than ask Darren.“Derek? That hot-headed guy? Weren’t you so angry with him the other day? Or was that just a show?”“It wasn’t. And he already apologized to me, so I believe we are on good terms now. Let’s bury the hatchet and focus on the benefit we can get from him.”“What exactly is the reason you suddenly want to take this training so serious? Is there something going on that I don’t know about?” He asked, giving me a suspecting eye.My eyelids fluttered seve
Freya's Pov Hold up. This woman looks so familiar. Have I perhaps seen her somewhere before?I squinted my eyes and looked inwardly, trying to remember where I had seen her and if we had a conversation or something.But in the blink of an eye, I recalled where I saw her and what encounter we both had. She was the granny I saw at Nina’s company who kept on complaining about her pictures.My eyes widened in shock. Who would have ever known that she was the one who took care of Xaden’s look alike at his lowest point? But then, we didn't actually form a bond right there and there was nothing we talked about except for the fact that she thanked me for her photos.Even as she stared at me, she still looked strict. I can't tell if she remembers me or not and that's only making me feel really nervous.“Goodness.” I said under my breath shakily as I watched her join us in the living room and take her seat.Hopefully that things go well during my time with her right here. I wouldn't want anyth
Freya's Pov “Who are we to see and why do I have to be careful?” I asked him out of curiosity.“Well, that's because… Look, she is a granny right now and she played the role of a mother to the man I'm imposing, and did all she could do for me back then when he was younger. She was there for him in every way that he needed someone to be there, kind of.”“I don't understand. You are clearly different from the person you're talking about.”“Yeah, that's what I thought until I made my findings. We do look alike, so that's an advantage, and also, who knows, she might have an idea of where the shining gem could be. We just need to take things slowly and let the acting be perfect.”“Okay then…” I urged him to continue.“So, she's back in New York City and she wants to see you and me. You know that she has definitely gotten the hang of the so-called marriage. She just doesn't know that it's not, you know, real between us.” “Oh, I understand. That's great. But why do you look a little weird
Freya's Pov For the past few days, my health has been a little discomforting. I came down with a cold and it didn't seem to go away quickly even with the medicine that was provided.We had gotten a temporary home because we still had to get our eyes peeled for the shining gem as that was the main reason for coming here. It would be really weird to go back with nothing since George who we were thinking might show us, was now in prison.I wrapped myself with my thick bed covers and sniffled as I reached out for my phone to check out what was going on on the internet and that's when I heard my room door open.“Hey, you're awake already.” Xaden said with a smile on his face.He was holding a tray with a glass of water and medicine.“Yes.” I replied and adjusted myself on the bed.When he got close to me, he sat at the edge of the bed and placed the tray on the bedside desk.“How are you feeling this morning?” He asked me and placed his palm on my forehead.“I'm a little better. At least,
Freya's Pov Xaden was running towards us and the look on George's face said a lot about his shock. He didn't expect that Xaden would find us.“Shit!” He cursed out loud and released me.As he released me in the deep, strong water, I yelled out to him.“Hey!” I yelled out as he was the only one who could hear me quickly.But he didn't care enough to look back at me. The current was beginning to sweep my body away and I shrieked, trying to swim away and get to shore, but it was proving difficult to do that especially as the force of the water was really strong.“Help me!” I yelled out in fear, but Xaden had not gotten close enough to hear my light voice. “Shit!” I cursed boldly as I continued to try swimming fast and strong.What if the current becomes more forceful and makes the water sweep me away swiftly and moves me far from reach?What if I got to the middle of the water, and a big sea creature jumps up and eats me up? George's wish of death for me would be fulfilled immediately t
Freya's Pov My eyes widened and almost popped out due to the shock I felt. I blinked my eyes to be certain that I was seeing the right person and the same face was still before me.“Is this truly George?” The words trailed off my tongue because it was a little difficult to believe.He had a smirk on and my heart continued to beat fast and faster like it was going to explode any minute from now as it seemed like he truly was George. So, when he had told me that he understood the fact that we were married, he didn't have it in mind to back out.All he wanted was to get Xaden to himself and seeing as he had already said he was going to get rid of me, he probably meant death.“Please. Please don't kill me.” I pleaded with so much fear in my heart.My legs were feeling wobbly and I also felt doomed that I had met my end already.“There's no way I'm letting you go since you've been proving stubborn.” George uttered devilishly.“Please.” I pleaded with a shaky voice as tears filled my eyes
Freya's Pov I put my phone under my belly and closed my eyes, pretending to sleep. At least, If I didn't click on the message, the blackmailer won't know that I have seen his message or that I'm not asleep.I opened my eyes again and my eyeballs kept drifting left and right as I scanned the room as well. Even as I had not checked the message, I felt disturbed about it. What if he could see me or he knew that I wasn't asleep?Just then, I sat up and sighed in frustration. I picked up my phone again and opened the text. I let out a sigh and smacked my lips. “Alright, where?” I sent a text, and stared at the phone intensely.“The back of this hotel.” He informed me.Regardless of how scared and terrified I might be right now, it's just best for me to step out to avoid more troubles. Besides, nothing can happen to me. Freya, you can do this. Don't be scared.I slowly got down from the bed without making any noise as I didn't want Xaden to wake up from that. I reached for my jacket which
Freya's Pov “I… I don't understand what you mean by that, Xaden. What is it that I could be hiding from you?” I said, turning my eyes away from him.I also had a feeling that he was probably talking about the way I have been acting all this while. I guess he has been noticing that I've been acting strange or he probably feels that I might know something about the reason the blackmailer came into the hotel room.“You should know what I'm talking about, Freya. I feel there's something you're hiding from me. If it's something that's so difficult to say, you can decide to tell me that there's something you'll like to tell me, but you need time to process it. I'll understand.” Xaden urged me.I was so tempted to tell him what was going on or to even give him a sign that I had something to tell him, but each time I remember when the blackmailer sent me a text about him having a gun, I become mute.I just can't risk my life and Xaden’s, so it'll be best for me to stay calm and know what exa
Freya's Pov At first, I was really tensed because for the blackmailer’s text to be coming at a very important moment like this, it couldn't be good. I took in a deep breath and let it out without letting Xaden sense or suspect any chance in me. Then I finally found the courage to face what was coming for me.I opened the message only to see what made my heart beat drop a little. This blackmailer just has every single way to make one really scared.“I can see you're about to tell your fake husband about me. Go ahead. Just so you know, Give Up Now. (When you're done, take the first letters of my last three words outside the bracket.)” The blackmailer instructed me.With shaky hands, I began to look deeply at the words and did just as he had said, and to my shock, it meant Gun.I almost gasped after realizing this and my eyes searched around the restaurant. For the person to say this, it only meant that he was around the hotel and is with a gun.My heart began to beat fast and louder to
Freya's Pov Two days actually passed with no word from the blackmailer and while it felt nice not to hear from her again, I still felt the chills having a feeling that she was somewhere watching me and all.Since I haven't heard anything ever since, I sincerely hope that those messages are not going to continue ever again.“Be positive, Laura.” I said to myself, trying to lit hope in my heart.It was rare for a blackmailer not to threaten his victim continuously especially someone that sounds as harmful as this. So, there's a possibility that it might not be real.I turned off the lamp light and closed my eyes, ready to sleep and it didn't take long before I dozed off.~The next time I woke up due to thirst, I opened my eyes and noticed a large male figure with huge shoulders in my room. He was at the other end of the bed and was so scary that I opened my mouth to scream, but before the screams tore out of my throat, the figure covered my mouth with his large hand and he held me tig
