Freya’s P.O.V
After A Month Ever since that day with Thorne, I had never set eyes on him again and I was confined to quarters where I wasn’t allowed to step out until the pregnancy test would be out. In the quarters that I was confined to, all the necessities were provided to me. Like food, dresses, and snacks but the only issue was that I wasn’t allowed to have access to phones in a bid for me not to communicate with the outside world. Nevertheless, I was glad that all of this was going to be coming to an end soon and I would finally be set free from this prison. My only hope was that Thorne would keep to his word and after the pregnancy test results came out today, I would be allowed to leave just like he had promised. Plopping on the couch, sadness weighed in on me as I rubbed my hands on my empty stomach before heaving an exasperated sigh. My mind drifted back to my conversation with Dr. Ann and her words about how I would never be able to bear a child repeated in my ears. As much as those words were like daggers that pierced through my heart, those words gave me the comfort and reassurance that finally, my days here would be over. Throwing popcorn into my mouth, I turned on the TV, and the next minute, my heart slammed against my ribcage, my eyes almost bulging out of their sockets when news about a funeral procession was being broadcast. My chest heaved and I jumped to my feet, the bowl of popcorn slipping off my hands to the ground and I rubbed my hands on my eyes to be sure that I was seeing right. How was this even real? How could there be a funeral procession for me when I was alive? Anger seeped through my veins as my jaw clenched and I fisted my dress. “ Tyson and Ariel” I muttered through gritted teeth. My face was blurred since my father made sure that I maintained a low profile. Everyone knew that Tyson was married but they didn’t even know who his wife was. Tears welled in my eyes and rage burned within me when I saw the way a scream tore from Ariel’s mouth as the coffin was being leveled to the ground. I scoffed, bitter laughter leaving my mouth as I ran my hands through my hair. “ Fucking crocodile tears! That bitch hit me with a flower vase on my head” Tyson also created his charade of chaos while threatening to jump into the grave, screaming that he couldn’t live without me and would rather be buried alongside the coffin. “My wife!” With every second that my gaze lingered on the screen, the anger that coursed through me intensified and a tear tracked down my face. What sort of mockery was this? In anger, I reached for the TV remote, switching off the TV while tossing my head to the back in a bid to hold the tears that threatened to fall. I wiped off my tears with the back of my hand, swallowing the heavy lump that lodged beneath my throat. I was so going to make life a living hell for Tyson and Ariel! “You all just wait till I come back” My chest heaved up and down and the tension in the air thickened. Different thoughts about how to deal with Ariel and Tyson coursed through my mind and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t come up with a perfect plan on how to teach those horrible beings a lesson. How I fell in love with Tyson was beyond me. How I was never able to see through him and realize that he was an evil person was disturbing to me. I did everything to ensure that he loved only me and me alone. Now that I thought about it, when did Ariel and Tyson start having an affair behind my back? As much as I could remember, Ariel had always taunted me for being a powerless Lycan Princess who had to settle for a werewolf because no Lycan in his or her right senses would settle for me. A laughter rippled from my mouth at that moment. “She always declared her hate for him and yet, she was having an affair with him behind my back! That witch” Suddenly, I was jolted out of my thoughts when a knock landed on the door and the door creaked open. Instinctively, I swung my head in the direction of the door while a servant that had been assigned to me came inside holding a tray, containing a cup of coffee. “Coffee for you, miss. The head servant said that it would help with the pregnancy” The words that left her mouth did nothing but trigger the senses in my head and intensify my anger. I clenched my fist, glaring at the servant who lowered her head, and as much as I wanted to flare up, I controlled myself, settling within myself that this was my last day of drinking bitter coffee mixed with different sorts of weird herbs. I heaved a sigh. “Leave it on the table” She gave a simple nod, placing the tray on the coffee before lowering her head again. “Miss Freya, the doctor is here to give you the test results” Relief flooded through me. “Then let him come in” Amidst the storm that brewed within me, excitement bubbled within me and I swiveled my gaze around the entire room. I wasn’t going to miss this place because I never considered it my home. When the doctor came inside, a smile spread across my face as I folded my hands behind me. “Miss Freya” I gestured for him to sit while I sat across from him. “The test results,” He said with an inscrutable expression on his face. My heart raced with excitement as the doctor handed me an envelope. “Tyson and Ariel, you two just wait for me” I muttered to myself before ripping the envelope open. Pulling out the papers in the envelope, my eyes scanned it and I couldn’t just wait to see what I had been expecting. All of a sudden, the smile on my face vanished and a wave of dizziness washed over me. I placed a hand on my head, steadying myself while trying to make sense of what was going on. “Doctor?” My voice was barely above a whisper. “Can you please tell me the meaning of this?” The doctor smiled, leaning forward. “Congratulations Miss Freya, you are pregnant with quadruplets.”Epilogue Freya’s P.O.V I propped my jaw in my palm, staring at the screen while Ariel cried her eyes out. “Can you please get me out of here? I am sorry for everything that I have done to you. I know we aren't sisters anymore…” I cut in, correcting her. “We were never sisters” She wiped off her tears. “I can’t stay here, how could you sell someone to slavery in this age and time” I took a sip of my wine. “You should have thought twice before you sold me into slavery. How did you get my number?” Moisture gathered in her eyes and she burst into tears. “That doesn't matter, you can't do this to me. Have mercy on me. How can you sleep at night knowing that your one and only sister is suffering” “I am being mistreated here. Haven't you punished me enough? It has been two years” Ever since the Lycan King and all the other enemies got taken out, a lot of things changed. Power returned to the Anoris— with Enzo leading them just like he had always wanted. My stepmom ended up committi
Thorne’s P.O.VI snapped my fingers and a rush of liquid was emptied on Rory or whatever his real name was. He jerked awake immediately, gasping as he was drenched by the liquid. His eyes turned red immediately, then all of a sudden, he froze as fear replaced the rage in his eyes. His lower lip wobbled. “W-What is this? This…this…this…isn't water…” He stammered. Folding my hands behind me, my lips lifted in a smirk as I bobbed my head. “Yes, it isn't water…” I leaned forward, taking the full weight of his gaze. “It’s fuel”His mouth dropped, and he jerked at the chain that bound his wrists, screaming for help. “No, you can't do this to me”I leaned back, a smile creeping at the corner of my mouth. “You loved playing with fire and I have been the one to bear the brunt of it so many times. However, this time, you will be the one to burn”An animalistic growl left his mouth as he struggled to break the chains that bound his wrists. “You can't be serious”I smirked, removing the lighter
Thorne’s P.O.V“Now!” His words resounded through my head, his eyes piercing deep into mine.Beneath the mask, my eyes darkened, and on exchanging fleeting glances with Nigel, I could see the frustration in his eyes. Now I knew why he told me to use a contact lens— It was because I had such an intense stare that always left a dark and lasting impression on people. Nigel spoke immediately. “What is the issue? They are my men and if there is any of them who makes you feel uneasy, I would have them leave now”I could see the fear that slithered through Freya’s eyes. The fear of everything going wrong. But that wouldn't happen because tonight no one would be spared. Rhys rose to his feet and I could see the confusion in his eyes as he moved away from the chair. “There isn't a reason anyone should be wearing masks. I would remove them…”With every step that he took towards me, my clenched fists tightened and anger pulsed through my veins. This time, I stared at him in the eye and that
Thorne’s P.O.VStaring at the message that Freya had sent a few hours ago, it all made sense now. Why he hated her so much. Why he would never hesitate to harm her and the quadruplets. Why would he pick his stepdaughter over her all the time.It was because she wasn't his daughter. I could see the dark cloud that rolled through Enzo’s eyes as he tossed the picture of the Lycan King into the fire. His eyes lingered on the picture that burned slowly and he muttered. “It is about time…” His eyes met mine and a smile that faltered spread through his face. I inched closer to Enzo and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Yes” I offered him a small smile, and he took me aback when he pulled me into a hug and sobbed on my shoulders. It was weird. He wasn't the type to have emotional outbursts like this. But knowing the things that he had been through, the trauma that he had carried, and all the burden that lay on his shoulders, I had no option but to pat him on the back as different emotions
FreyaI laughed. Not because she was funny or anything. It was because of how absurd she sounded. Maybe it was because she was getting old. Perhaps, dementia?I tried to change the topic. “We should go back inside. Nigel would be searching for me and I promise you that I would be back to drop flowers just before…”She cut in, staring at the grave. “You do know that your father, the Lycan King, real name is Rory right?”I shook my head. “No, please let’s go inside”“Rory and Myles were friends, not best friends though. Things were going well between the two young friends until they fell in love with the same woman. However, Rory liked her first but Myles was quick to confess his feelings to her, and the beautiful thing, they were both mates”My brows knitted together in confusion and it made me wonder what she was talking about. She hated watching movies so could chances be that she was narrating a movie to me. “Is this what you do every year? Telling her about movie plots and stuf
Freya’s P.O.VAnger crawled up my spine and I stared at Ariel with eyes devoid of any emotion. Just the sight of her opened up memories—the horrible ones, the tainted ones, and most importantly, the traumatic ones. “You are supposed to be in the dungeon?”She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and stepped forward, almost closing the space between us. Ariel clicked her tongue in her mouth. “Are you slow? Are you even supposed to be here? I don't like you or anything but do you honestly think that my dad has good plans for you?”She tilted her head to the side. “You are still gullible…” She heaved a sigh and took a step back. “I wasn't locked in any dungeon of any sort. I have been living a good life and…” She stretched her fingers towards me. My gaze landed on the shimmering diamond stone around her fingers. “I just got engaged two days ago. Since you have decided to leave your family and return to this hell-hole, maybe you deserve everything about to happen to you”“Anyway
