Chapter 9

OWEN'S POV

I stood in Elena's living room, staring at Freya and waiting for her to say something. I had already suspected the truth, but I needed her to admit it.

"I do hope you're not thinking of giving me half-truths, Freya, because I know better than to believe them," I said slowly to emphasize my words while tapping the folder resting on the table.

Curiously, she reached out to go through it and that was when I noticed an unfamiliar young man resting against the wall.

    Chapter 108Freya"It's not up for discussion," Gideon commanded. "You're pregnant, Freya. If not for your sake, then for the sake of our children.""What kind of a person abandons their friend in time of need?" I cried. "I still get nightmares from Bria's situation. I won't recover from the guilt, if the same thing happens to Sera.""She'll understand," he said, matter of factly."I can't believe you said that." I backed away from him. "I don't even know if I know you.""Freya..."I turned away from him. "If what is about to come out of your mouth is not the plan to rescue Sera and the other two, then I don't want to hear it."Beta Julian turned to Gideon. "Let it go, Gideon." "Are you supporting her?" "I'm not," Julian said calmly. "All I'm saying is you give her a fighting chance. The Freya we know is a brave woman. She's not going to listen to you because of her condition.""What if Aldric does something to the babies?" he breathed. "We know his endgame. We can't just hand it ov

    Chapter 107JulianAn hour ago...Finnley and I followed Gideon's instruction and called the pack to the pack ground. He didn't give us details of his plans, but I trust him to walk blind into the unknown. If talking to the pack would help, he must have his reason.After rounding them up at the pack ground, I turned to take my place beside Gideon, when Finnley called. He wore an anxious expression that told me without asking that something was amiss."Beta Julian!" His tone was distressed. "Speak." "Three people are missing from the pack."I froze, but quickly recovered before he noticed. Finnley is a super-tracker, and I trust his analysis. I just wanted to be sure he's not mixing things up, given the circumstances. "Are you sure they're not inside the pack ground?" "Negative," he affirmed. "While rallying the people to the ground, we noticed three houses were strangely left open, but they're vacant." I narrowed my eyes. "Have you investigated the situation?" He shook his head

    Chapter 106Gideon The following day, we gathered at my office to discuss Aldric's ultimatum. Freya's father, Finnley, and Maren were absent by reason of their task, leaving me with Julian, Freya, and Dr Carver."You lied to me," Freya was pissed I hid the information from her. "I asked you what was wrong and you told me it was nothing."I don't want secrets between Freya and me. We've been through hell and thorns together, and still standing. But, telling her was added stress, and added stress would upset her unstable magic. A part of me believed Freya can hold her own. But as her mate, I had duty of care to worry for her safety. "I told him to keep it from you," Julian spoke, saving me the defense. "You've been stressed lately, and the pregnancy is taking a huge toll on you.""It's still no reason to make a unanimous decision that concerns my life and that of my children," Freya blurted. "I don't care what you keep from me, but when it concerns my family, I have every right to be

    Chapter 105GideonThat handled, I returned my attention to Freya. "Where were we?" She sat up. "Was it Beta Julian?"I kissed her neck. "Nothing to worry about."I bunched the hem of her dress to her waist, and reached for her underwear. She tried to fight the urge, but lost to my fingers, as I parted the cotton undergarment, stroking her swollen clit."We can talk about what's going on," she spasmed, her voice trembling."Don't fight it," I murmured, biting her lower lip gingerly. "You want it, don't you?"I reached for her wet slit and parted it, diving into her warmth with two fingers. She moaned softly, as I thrust deeper into her vagina, making her throw her head back, her mouth round with want. Parting her legs, she gripped the edge of the table with one hand, and brought the second to her mouth, managing the moans rising to her mouth.I helped her out of the dress, and threw it over my head to the ground. Her underwear followed in quick succession, till she was stark before m

    Chapter 104GideonFor what passed like eternity, no one said a word. All eyes shifted to Freya, mouths gaping, frozen in time. The room was thrown into morgue silence, as if expecting another theatrical performance.I recalled Dr Carver's hypothesis about the twins reacting to Freya's magic. He assured us it wasn't anything serious, and I trusted him. But seeing Freya shaken raised doubts I couldn't overlook.I restored the half-filled glass to the center of my desk, and pushed my chair back, rising to my feet. "That'll be all for now," I said, subtly asking for privacy with my mate. They took the cue and left one after the other."Call me if you need anything, Sweetheart," Elder Victor came over to her side, and kissed the top of head. "You're not alone.""Thanks Dad," she said, essaying a smile.Maren stepped forward, squeezing her shoulder. "Take some time to rest, okay.""I will," I answered.One by one, they left the office, leaving Freya and I alone. Seconds rolled into minute

    Chapter 103Freya "We should start planning counter," Dr Owen said. "Aldric will be here in six weeks, or less. Let's give him a fight he'll never forget in a long time.""You're right," Gideon folded his arms across his chest, standing beside me. "Aldric is more powerful than we gave him credit for, and from what I've gathered..." he peered down at me and Maren, "... he's insatiable. He wants more power." "Pause the thought," Beta Julian stepped beside Cassandra, and pulled her to her feet. "She can't know what our plan is."None of us opposed it. Having her in the planning room would nip it in the bud before it even blossoms. We're not sure if she had internal networks in the pack, waiting for her signal.Cassandra's eyes met mine, and I made sure to keep my chin up. The days of cowering in fear were over. Anyone threatening my family would find me ready, waiting and fearless.There was a knock at the door."Come in," Beta Julian answered. Three guards filed into the room and sal
