SILAS' POV:
“I don’t know. I never texted her.”Suddenly, my wolf is on high alert and I’m standing on my feet. I can’t remain still. I’m overwhelmed with emotions that rattle me too much.“What do you mean you didn’t text her?” I growl lowly.Something’s not right. My gut speaks louder now. My gut was never wrong.“I haven’t been with my phone all morning. It’s been missing from my bag.” She’s shivering now from the menacing pressure of my Alpha dominance, compelling her to tell me everything she knows.I’ve heard it’s a painful feeling, almost like suffocation. I uncontrollably unleash it, forcing her to bow her head and avoid my eyes while she trembles.Freya…Where the hell is she?Always getting into trouble the moment I look away. I shouldn’t have let her go alone, no matter how insistent she had been on going alone.I should have atleast sent someone with her, knowing she’s a walking trouble magnet.“Fuck!” I slam my fist againsFREYA'S POV:I feel my lungs slowly collapsing.It’s harder to breathe than a few minutes ago. My consciousness goes away from me as my body grows light. I don’t know if it’s due to the lack of oxygen or the silver around me shutting down my entire system forcefully… and then the pain. Pain like fire burns against my flesh as I grow weaker but my light-headedness seems to calm the effect.My vision blurs even more and I wonder, is this how I leave this earth?I think of Xena and I feel guilt and sadness. I had really wanted her to smile at me once more. I really wanted us to get along really well.Adam… Lucas… We could have been really close friends.Silas…His warm smile lingers in my mind. The melodious echo of his sweet laughter resounds in my ear. Had it always sounded so pretty? It had actually. I realize I just never really wanted to admit to myself how much I wanted to hear him laugh over and over again at anything, even at
FREYA'S POV:I don’t have full memory of what exactly had gone down in my near-death dazed state but somehow, I knew that Silas had saved me.It’s weird actually. My whole being just knows that he would never let anything bad happen to me. In a way, even while gripped with fear in those six hours, I knew that he would come for me.When had I begun putting so much faith in him?Seeing him now, I hadn’t realized just how much I cared about him, how much I missed him, how much I needed him next to me and how much it made me so anxious.He wasted no moment walking into the room, closer to me as my heart pulsed faster. It’s like he reads my thoughts and in seconds, he takes me into his arms, gripping me in a tight hug and it's everything I need.I can feel his pounding heart against my chest, pulsing almost as hard as mine. It’s all just so crazy how much I needed this. Tears seek to burst through and I can’t hold them back as they come out in flood
FREYA'S POV: Throbbing swollen lips, pink flushed cheeks, and a rushed breath.I didn’t think he’d look more hypnotic but the mien on his freshly kissed face begs to differ. It’s so tempting that I want to smash my lips to his one more time to feel those maddening sparks.He looks just as flustered as I am. Staring back at me with a burning intensity in his eyes.What have I done?Reality is cruel as it crashes down on me hard. I know what I’ve done, the consequences, and yet I can’t find myself wishing to take it back which makes me feel even worse.“What was…” I can’t find the words.“I mean that was…” He stops midway, battling with his words as well.We needed to talk about the shit we just did, yet my words had chosen this moment to fail me.No.I had to be firm. I don’t understand this feeling blazing within me but that kiss felt anything but normal. I think he knows it too ‘cause he’s looking a little too shocked.I make t
FREYA'S POV:The two days I had remained to recover in the clinic passed excruciatingly slowly, I almost lost my mind. Xena’s presence, however, was the only thing that had made it all bearable, still all that while, my mind fell back to Silas and our kiss. I know it’s stupid for me to ponder long on something that should mean nothing more than an action based on passing feelings, yet I caught myself occasionally touching my lips, imagining the warmth he had given off, how it had spread through my entire being.My wolf is more restless than ever, clawing at the walls of my mind, adding to my torture, brooding on the same reason; why Silas hadn’t dropped by since the kiss.The two days of my recovery passed before I was finally let to return to my dorm with Xena. I didn’t realize just how much I missed this four walls of my plain dorm room till now.I crash onto my more softer bed compared to the literal brick I was forced to lay on for days.“
FREYA'S POV: My heart drops to the bottom of my chest and all that adrenaline pumping through me crashes fast.Of course, he’d be with Elena, his girlfriend. The person he had probably been with the past two days. The worse part is she looks gorgeous in her off-white armless flay dress with a beaded sweetheart neckline.Pain shoots through my chest, stinging harder than ever and I feel stupid with reality crashing hard.Just one kiss and I had already lost all reasoning, looking for him like some love-sick fool. What were we even going to talk about if I brought up the kiss? Compare which was better between hers and mine and the countless other girls he had swapped lips with? Yet despite all that, I can’t help gawking shamelessly at him.Elena leans closer to him, whispering words in his ear. Though he had a poker face on, she giggled, winking at him.I feel the sudden urge to vomit and can’t take the sight anymore, so I walk out the nearest e
SILAS' POV:I watch her retreat as she leaves, not once does she turn back to look at me.Fuck.She’s definitely pissed again.I sigh, running my fingers through my hair, messing hours of styling. But right now, it’s the least important thing on my mind.I hate to admit it but she’s all I’ve been thinking about since the kiss and I can’t deny anymore the seconds, hours and days I had waited to do that again and I only fucked it up more.Things are sort of falling into place, she let me kiss her twice without slapping me in the face… I was winning and yet, why do I feel like a pile of shit right now?I wipe away the sticky lipstick on my lips unintentionally recalling her soft tender lips, the feel of her silky smooth skin, the heat oozing from her body and god, the moans from her lips.Fuck, I’m going crazy. She’s going to ruin me“Did that just happen?” Lucas asks after seconds. I forgot he was still there.“Freya just walked o
FREYA'S POV: I had known this was bound to happen from the moment Silas chose me as his partner and I actually took him up on it. Yet the moment has arrived and I’m nothing but terrified.As I slowly approach the throne with Silas by my side, all I can think about is if I’d be able to pull it off. Of all the risky shit I’d done, this takes the cake honestly.The Alpha King Darius Bloodmoon is known to be one of the most ruthless monarchs in the history of Royalty, gifted with a keen sixth sense. It’s because of this that he was nicknamed the all-knowing blood prince during his younger days. Knowing this, I took further steps into the Lion’s den, basically asking to be caught.At this point, I’m praying to whichever deity that hears me to not be found out because if I am, I am sure to realize that there are things worse than death.As we reach the foot of the throne, I bow instantly. Silas tilts his head a bit — being royalty himself, he didn’
FREYA'S POV: “Sit down, Freya Willows, I want to have a word with you.”My body moves automatically against my will. I sit down robotically on my seat. For a very brief moment, I see the gem necklace around his neck subtly glimmering an ominous red hue before going dull again and the control of my body returns instantly.I pant for air, suddenly able to breathe again. I take as much as possible into my once sealed lungs.“Perfect.” He’s still smiling but I know for sure it doesn’t mean anything well.My mind is already in full panic. He knows my secret I bet, there’s no other explanation. Somehow, the wizard's spell isn’t powerful enough to trick even the Alpha King — I should have known that. I should have stayed within my limits, far away from ever encountering him.My eyes sting, growing wet with tears but I blink them away, wanting to show no weakness even in this situation.He watches my every reaction in full amusement.“I wonder
