FREYA’S POV:“Are you okay?”He leans even closer to brush my messed up hair that’s blocking half my face.I unintentionally flinch away, putting more distance between us. I’m still jittery from before.“Freya?”It’s only now I remember I’m in the passage seat of his car, hours after the whole threatening experience with the wizard.He’s not here anymore.For now.I seat up straight, nodding my head too much in a desperate attempt to prove that I am when, infact, I’m terrified and scared of the person I had sought out to make a deal with.Now, my life would most likely be in impending danger.“I’m fine.” I smile wide as possible, adding a forced chuckle.The worry in his eyes doesn’t leave, however. He watches me carefully, debating on if to pry further or let me be.The air between us is still strained.Even with the mini picnic he had set up in Narnia, our conversation was bland. He kept joking around, I kept looking away from anything that had a reflective surface. I think I’m sca
SILAS’ POV:Before I can head back to my room, I make my way to the girl’s dorm, minutes after I’m sure Freya’s made it to her room.Part of my way of showing to her just how invested I am in making this work, I plan on keeping all my promises and that includes putting an end to this betrothal to Elena and facing all repercussions that may arise from my father’s part for disobedience.All the while making sure that she’d be safe.Never had I once thought, from the first day running into her in those hallways, that I’d be here wishing to be next to her with every passing moment.For this reason, I walk into Elena’s empty room easily once I’m sure half the dorm is fast asleep.The fact that her roommate is still suspended makes it even easier to remain undetected till she shows up.I’m sitting casually on her bed once she finally arrives minutes later and the door pulls open.Elena steps in, clad in her white bathrobe, humming to herself while bobbing her shoulders to an imaginary rhyth
FREYA’S POV:“Silas? What are you doing here?”He pauses on the spot, looking at me with a suddenly startled expression and surprise.If anyone should be surprised, I should be. He’s at the girl’s dorm when everyone’s getting to bed, tiptoeing right past my room.I look back towards the direction he’s coming from and where he’s most likely heading to. Sure enough, he’s leaving but where has he been?“Where are you coming from?” I ask out loud, pondering on it out of curiosity.“Freya… Okay, I need you to believe me on this. I’m coming from Elena’s room but before you start thinking about it; no, we didn’t do anything, nothing happened either. It was strictly business.” He begins explaining and unfolds the very same document I had seen hours earlier.“See? I just needed her to sign it and make it official. I was straight with her and left immediately after the conversation was over.”“Silas, relax.” I say, calm once he begins filling in so much info that’s not really needed.He calms d
CHAPTER 127:FREYA’S POV:I have never slept so peacefully in the longest time, never woken up feeling fully rejuvenated and relaxed, and feeling it right now was a whole new different sensation.It’s heavenly, paired with the strange sense of warmth and comfort wrapped around me. I hear gentle and slow breath and a softly thumping heart beat, like a lullaby.I sigh, enjoying every moment and cuddling even deeper to the warm brick wall head rest — before I realize there’s no such thing as a brick wall with a head rest, and the bed is too soft to be mine.My eyes fly open and I realize where I am. How I had gotten here. Memories of last night filters in.That’s right, I was too scared to go back to sleep and followed him back here. We made out and cuddled till… I guess till we both dozed off.Now, it’s morning and there’s school today.“Shit.” I whisper. The sun’s rays seeping through the room were already too bright. It’s definitely past eight, give or take a few minutes.“Silas.” I
FREYA’S POV:I hang my head low enough to hide my face away from his view, covering the rest with the towel.But he insistently leans closer, looking all over me like I’m some sort of anomaly.My heart is pulsing faster because I really don’t want to be caught sneaking into the boy’s bathroom with Silas. The entire student body isn't too kind when sharing gossip about anyone. They could possibly mix an imaginary orgy into the real story.“I’ve never seen a male wolf so… tiny.” He comments.While he’s all up in my personal space and I’m retreating back, Silas steps up from behind me.He’s a head taller than my harasser and looks down at him like he’s the scum of earth, with a glare that even I find terrifying.It seems it's only now the harasser notices Silas behind me because his face turns as white as paper.“Do we have a problem?” He asks, raising a brow at the kid and traumatizing him in the process.“Uhm… uh…n-no… I j-just… uh—” He begins stuttering while his body visibly tremble
“You’re a monster.” I mumble against his chest with both my hands wrapped round his neck while he carries me in his hands back to the room.His chest vibrates while his chuckles.“I did warn you.” he points out.“Four fucking rounds and you didn’t even let me catch a single breath in between. My legs aren’t going to be able to walk properly for a week!” I protest pulling my face from his bare chest and glaring up at him.It was supposed to be a simple bath before heading out to get something to eat, now I don’t even have enough strength to go anywhere especially with the soreness between my legs.He hadn’t even bothered to show mw mercy, even though it had felt amazing. The satisfaction I feel could last me an entire month.Who am I kidding, if he kisses me again in a few minutes I’d probably be ready to go again.My tummy suddenly growls again, louder and fiercer, begging for a single morsel of food just as we reach the room and Silas kicks the door open.“I should have just gone bac
The week flies by like a breeze, a soft gentle one with the sweetest memories that I will forever hold closest to my heart.I’m yet to tell Silas about everything like the hypocrite I am.Countless times I’d walk up to him or drag him to a corner to speak my mind, but then he’d kiss my forehead and look down at me so sweetly that knowing I’m about to ruin that precious smile has me second guessing if I should in fact say something.Days passed till today, my finally chance at saying something to him. I can’t miss it.Ii need to tell him today.Knowing this fact has me waking up on the worst side of bed today.I groan tossing and turning and it takes a few minutes for me to accept that my body won’t be able to fall into deep slumber again today so I stand up.First thing I notice is Xena’s absence.It’s a Saturday morning so we’re not having any classes and yet she had already gotten up and dressed her bed up?I don’t dwell too much on it thinking probably she’s just out doing somethin
We set the picnic up right in the middle of the garden that acts as a private space for the meantime.There are different basket with an assortment of snacks and all the rest.We have a fun time laughing and talking about anything an anything, recalling funny moment about their childhood I had realized while Lucas wolfs down half the food in sweeps.Silas sighs reaching in for a particular Ziploc of sandwiches with Xena’s name labeled on it. It takes a second for the implications to register and before I can warn him, his teeth sink into the confectionary.It takes only two bites before his face sours and he spits it out.“What the…”He begins looking down at it like its alien goop dripping don his arm.”“That’s Xena’s Sandwich.” I say interrupting him right before he makes a snarky comment on the food.There’s a reason why the bag had remained untouched unlike everything else.“Why does it taste like dirt?” he yells out despite my whispering“Silas… be nice.” I chide him squarely with
