FAZER LOGINChapter 66FreyaI sat with Maren and Sera in the living area, discussing the latest update in the pack. Beside the twin babes in my belly growing faster than I imagined, the mating ceremony obviously topped the leaderboard.Julian and Gideon briefed us on Colt's arrest, warnings us to watch out for suspicious movements."Now that his son is in prison, his father will not take it lightly," Sera pointed."I was counting on that," Maren crossed her legs, raising a cup of tea to her lips. "It means he'll act rashly and make a mistake. The old fox is sly and cunning. I bet he has something sinister up his sleeves.""You're right," I sighed, palming my stomach. "We can't sit and wait for him to act first, either. How do we beat them in their own game?"Maren saw my hand over my stomach and asked, changing the topic. "Are they kicking?"I may not entirely trust her for hurting Gideon, but she proved herself a worthy ally, fighting alongside us against Damon and Reginald. Although, she didn'
Chapter 65Reginald That settled, I left the dungeon to initiate plan Zena. I never worked without a back up plan. Since Maren stabbed us in the back, it was time I put it to test.Under the cover of darkness, I meandered through the path to the merchants quarters East of the pack, fighting the cold biting into my skin.After all I had sacrificed, going back was no option.With the cottage in sight, I looked over my shoulder to confirm I wasn't being tailed. Satisfied, I walked to the door, and knocked. At first, there was no response, making me grow impatient. I knocked the second time, a bit louder and more persistent. Seconds later, I heard footfalls on creaking floor board, and the light came on."Who is there?" came her voice."Open up," I answered, scanning my surroundings for the last time, as I rubbed my hands together, blowing warm air into them.Locks shifted, and in seconds, the door squeaked open. "Master Reginald!" Zena was the fail safe I prepared for contingencies. A
Chapter 64Reginald I wondered what mess Colt got himself into this time. Sometimes, I doubt if he really was my son.On one hand, Damon and Cassandra had me by the jugular, snuffing the life out of me. On the other, I had to deal with my sloppy son of a whore. Plus, Maren's unprovoked betrayal, it felt like the weight of the world rested on my shoulders. "We have reasons to believe your son and these two guards are traitors to the pack," Beta Julian explained, standing beside Alpha Gideon, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "Believe me, Father!" Colt wailed. "I didn't do the things they're accusing me off. You know me, Father. I'm your son. I'd never sell the pack to the enemy."It broke my heart everyday to bear with Colt's pathetic shortcomings. To call him my son was an added sorrow, staring me in the face. I wished he was more meticulous. I wish he had half the brain I have.Lodging the bile to the back of my throat, I exhaled. "What are the allegations?""A sketch mar
Chapter 63REGINALD'S POV"Councilman? Councilman Reginald?" I jerked in my seat, slightly startled at the mention of my name."Um, is there anything else I can do for you, sir?" I blinked and looked up to see my assistant staring at me with a look of confusion."Are you sure you're alright, Elder?" Blinking my way back to reality, I inhaled deeply and sat up."Yes, I am. Now get out of my office." He hesitated for a second, before he finally turned and walked out of the door. I glanced around my table trying to remember what exactly I had asked him to do in the first place that got him into my office.I was never one to panic or make wrong decisions under pressure, and although I had planned for inconveniences, I had not expected the walls would start closing in on me so quickly.I needed to get the ball back into my court but it was difficult to do so when I kept getting hit by so many obstacles at the same time.Maren's betrayal was both shocking and surprising to me and the on
Chapter 62FINNLEY'S POV I had just one job to get done. And I would rather choke on my own spittle rather than disappoint the Beta.Not once did I let my eyes off the almost elderly man and not once did I step out of the shadows. Goosebumps covered nearly every area of my skin and I couldn't tell if it was from fear of whatever was to come or from the chill evening air seeping through my skin pores.My heart pulsed steadily in my chest and I swallowed hard to ease my nerves.Nearly fifty feet away from me, Harwick walked around slowly with his hands behind his back like a man deep in thought, except I noticed his eyes were to the ground and his head moved around, almost like he was discreetly searching for something he had dropped. I crouched even lower among the thicket and squinted to get a better view of what was going on. Harwick then raised his head and looked over his shoulder. His assigned guards were not by his side for his walk, on the Beta's instruction, just so he coul
Chapter 61JULIAN'S POVWhatever words I intended to say at that moment remained stuck in my throat as I stared at the Alpha holding on to Freya, with Cassandra just a few feet away, also staring at them. There was a small smile on her face but it was more than obvious how forced it was.Freya, on the other hand, looked like she badly wanted to be sucked into the walls and disappear."What is going on out there, Julian?" Alpha Gideon spoke first, breaking the silence that was about to get uncomfortable. "Damon's official representative and observer, he's here," I announced. The Alpha clenched his jaw and I could tell that the mention of Damon's name itself irritated him. "Well, you know the law. Let him in and make sure our men have their eyes on him." "Yes, Alpha," I nodded.The Alpha cast a sideways glance at Cassandra but said nothing. Then he walked down the stairs, with Freya's hand still held in his. Cassandra and I remained at the same spot, completely silent and staring
Chapter 5: The Weight Of Two LinesFREYA POVEvery other sound dulled out in my head, leaving only one word echoing endlessly: pregnant, pregnant, pregnant.The echoes grew faster until the words melted into each other. My mind felt like it was spiralling out of control."Freya?" A mumbled voice ca
