ログインCHAPTER 15: CONSEQUENCESFreya’s POVI thought he was taking me back to my room.That was the only thing on my mind as Dante carried me in silence.But then…I realized we weren’t heading there.The path changed.The direction shifted.And slowly, dread crept into my chest.The hall.Why are we going to the hall?My heart began to beat faster.“Why are we here?” I asked, my voice low, uncertain.“You’ll know when we get there,” Dante replied coldly.That was all.No explanation.No comfort.Just that same distance.******When we got there…I saw them.My aunt.William.Relief flooded through me instantly.“Aunty!”I rushed toward her the moment Dante put me down, wrapping my arms around her.For a second, I felt safe.But then…I noticed her expression.She wasn’t smiling.She wasn’t relieved.She looked… disappointed.My chest tightened.“Aunty… aren’t you happy to see me?”“I am,” she said, but her tone didn’t match her words. “How are you? Are you alright?”“She is,” Dante cut in
Freya’s POVMy heart stopped.Not slowed.Stopped.For a moment, I couldn’t even move.“Ma’am…” Lily whispered beside me. “Is that not Sir Dante?”I swallowed hard. “Yes… it’s him.”How did he get here?How did he even know?I thought I was free.I thought everything was finally working out.But now… it all felt like a lie. Like I had been dreaming, and someone just woke me up in the worst way possible.Why is the Moon Goddess so cruel?Why?“Ma’am, we should run,” Lily said quickly. “We can still make it.”“Yes… yes, we can still—”“Go!” I told the boatman. “Please, move now!”But before he could even try, Dante’s guards rushed forward and blocked the boat.One of them threw a dagger.It cut the boatman’s arm.He cried out and froze immediately.That was it.That was the end.Everything we planned… gone just like that.We were brought back.And now, I was standing right in front of him.The man I was trying to escape from.Dante stood there, staring at me.Calm.Too calm.And somehow
Freya’s POVI had already packed the few things I could carry.Not much.Just the essentials.Everything else… I was leaving behind.Maybe forever.Lily had done her part.She had successfully convinced her friend to help us, and everything was finally in place.For the first time since all of this started, I felt something close to hope.All what was left…Was to move.“Ma’am… it is time.”Lily’s voice was soft but urgent as she stepped into the room.My heart skipped.This was it.I took a deep breath.“Alright,” I said quietly. “Let’s go.”***********Everything went exactly as planned.Lily’s friend had done her job perfectly.She had rushed to the guards, claiming she saw two suspicious men dressed in black, wearing masks possibly assassins.The word alone was enough.The guards had no choice but to act.They rushed out immediately, some even running in pursuit.That was our chance.************We slipped out quietly.Carefully.Every step felt loud, even though we barely made a
Dante’s POVAfter the long session with my uncle and the council of elders, my head felt heavy.They had spent hours drilling me teaching me what it meant to be an Alpha. Leadership. Control. Authority. Discipline. Every word felt like a responsibility being forced onto my shoulders whether I liked it or not.By the time it ended, I was exhausted.But that didn’t stop me.I returned to my room, changed into something more comfortable, and prepared to leave. There was only one place I wanted to be after a day like that.The Ginseng House.Our usual spot.A place where nothing mattered.Where titles didn’t weigh on you.Where we drank, laughed, and forgot everything.And, of course…Where women entertained us.They were already there when I arrived.My friends.Loud. Relaxed. Carefree.The moment I stepped in, one of them smirked.“The husband-to-be is here.”I scoffed immediately.“Who is the husband?”They laughed.“You, obviously.”Another leaned forward, grinning.“You’re not suppos
Freya’s POVYes, I was saved physically… but I got hurt emotionally.This is really unfair.Dante’s words cut through me like a blade across my throat.“I simply do not want my reputation ruined by a cursed person who cannot even shift.”His words were heavy. So heavy that they forced the air out of my lungs. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. I just stood there, frozen, as if the weight of what he said had pressed down on my chest.I thought… I thought he actually liked me.But he doesn’t.All he wants is to protect his reputation. That’s all. Not that he cares. Not that he wants to help me.I mean… why help me just to hurt me again?One thing is sure.Dante doesn’t like me.Our bond is nothing but a benefit to him, not even to me.And another thing is sure… I will be hurt. No, this is the beginning of my pain.I don’t even know why I am this hurt. I’m not supposed to be.It’s not like I like him… right?The question lingered in my mind longer than I expected.I turned to the only per
Freya’s POVThe second day began without mercy.I barely felt rested when they called me again. My body still ached from everything I had gone through the day before, but there was no time to recover. No time to think. No time to breathe.The moment I stepped into the hall, their eyes were already on me.Waiting.Judging.Measuring.It felt worse today.Heavier.Like they had already decided I would fail.“Stand properly,” the leader said immediately.I straightened at once, shoulders back, chin up, just like they had taught me. Even that felt forced now, like my body no longer belonged to me.“Today,” she continued, her voice calm but firm, “we begin command training.”My chest tightened slightly.Command.That word alone felt too big for me.“You are not just meant to stand beside the Alpha,” she said. “You are meant to lead when necessary. To speak, and be obeyed.”Her gaze sharpened.“Show us.”I blinked.“Call a command,” she ordered.My lips parted, but nothing came out.Command
