After the Meeting

******

Freya stood at the door.

Her hand stayed still for a moment before she knocked.

“Come in.”

She opened it and stepped inside.

Kai was already there.

Standing by the table.

One hand rested on the surface.

He looked at her the moment she entered.

Not surprised.

Freya closed the door behind her.

“Stand there,” he said.

She stopped.

There was enough space between them.

He didn’t speak right away.

He just looked at her.

From her face… to her shoulders… down to her hands… th

    After the Meeting ******Freya stood at the door.Her hand stayed still for a moment before she knocked.“Come in.”She opened it and stepped inside.Kai was already there.Standing by the table.One hand rested on the surface.He looked at her the moment she entered.Not surprised.Freya closed the door behind her.“Stand there,” he said.She stopped.There was enough space between them.He didn’t speak right away.He just looked at her.From her face… to her shoulders… down to her hands… then back again.Freya stayed still.She didn’t know what he was looking for.“You’re not from here,” he said.“No.”“Then how did you get here?”She hesitated.Her fingers shifted slightly at her side.“My family owed a debt,” she said. “To your brother”He didn’t react.His expression didn’t change.“They couldn’t pay,” she continued. “So I was sent here.”Silence.“Sent,” he repeated.“Yes.”He stepped closer.Not fast.Not slow.“Sold?” he asked.Freya looked down for a second.Then back at hi

  • The Alpha's claim    When he saw me

    When He Saw Me*****I didn’t plan to go outside.After everything that happened earlier, I just wanted to stay in my room and rest. But the noise didn’t stop. People were moving around again—voices here and there, restless and curious.Then I heard it clearly.“He’s here.”Logan’s brother.I stayed where I was for a few seconds. I told myself not to go. It didn’t concern me. Nothing out there had anything to do with me.But still… I stood up.I don’t even know why.Something just pushed me.When I stepped outside, almost everyone was already there. The elders, the warriors, even the maids. It felt like the entire pack had gathered just to see him.Lucia stood close to Logan, like she belonged beside him.And Logan… he looked calm, as always. Still. Quiet. But his eyes were moving—watching everything.Nothing escaped him.Then I saw him.Kai.He had already arrived. People were greeting him one after another. Some smiled. Others looked more careful, more cautious.He greeted them too—

    The AwakeningI didn’t know that opening that box would change everything.If I had known, maybe I would have left it where it was.Hidden. Forgotten.But I didn’t know.The whole pack was restless that morning.You could feel it without anyone saying it.The Alpha’s brother was coming back.Even the elders were already moving around early, talking in low voices. People were trying to act normal, but no one really was. Something about his return always brought tension.And me… I was in my room, trying to understand myself.Since yesterday, something has not been right.That strange feeling.It didn’t feel like sickness. It didn’t feel like a normal pregnancy.It was something else.Something I couldn’t explain.I tried to ignore it.I really did.I stood up and went to my wardrobe just to distract myself.I started arranging my clothes, moving things around, trying not to think too much.Then my hand touched something at the back.I paused.I pushed the clothes aside and saw a small

    The Warning*****After Xavier left, I just sat there.The bracelet Lucia gifted me was still in my hand.I kept looking at it. Turning it slowly.Lucia’s words were still in my head.Her smile too.It all felt strange.I dropped the bracelet on the table and stood up.I didn’t know what to think.Part of me wanted to believe her.Part of me didn’t.I sighed and went to lie down.Maybe sleep would help.But even on the bed, my mind didn’t rest.Everything kept playing again.Lucia.Her apology.The gift.I closed my eyes.I didn't even know when I slept off.The next morning, I was still dressing when I heard a knock.I paused.For a second, I just stood there, holding my clothes.Another knock.I rushed to the door.As soon as I opened it, I froze.Logan.I didn’t expect him.Not this morning.Not like this.My heart skipped, but I quickly put on a small smile on my face. I was thinking he will start treating me nice since I am carrying his child. “Good morning, Alpha,” I said softl

    A Change of Attitude*****“Now let me proceed.”Lucia stood in her room quietly, thinking. Her mind was alive with thoughts, but she forced herself to stay calm. The words repeated in her head. I have to apologize first.She shook her head slowly. “No. I won’t go alone,” she whispered to herself.If she went alone, it might look fake. People might doubt her sincerity. She needed witnesses, someone to see her, someone who would report it accurately. Someone who would confirm that this apology was real.Lucia walked toward the door, every step measured. “Xavier,” she called softly but firmly.A moment later, Xavier appeared, his expression curious. “You called for me?”“Yes,” she said calmly, her voice steady. She paused, watching his eyes, and then added, “I want you to come with me.”Xavier raised a brow. “Where?”“To see Freya,” Lucia said without hesitation.Xavier blinked, clearly surprised. “Freya?”“Yes.” Her voice was soft, but it held an edge of authority that left no room for

    Playing Nice*****Lucia didn’t expect to see Logan that night.She was walking toward the stairs when she saw him coming from the opposite corridor.For a moment she stopped.Logan noticed her too.Neither of them spoke immediately.Lucia studied his face carefully.He looked tired. His shoulders were stiff, and his expression was the same cold mask he wore whenever he didn’t want anyone reading his thoughts.Lucia took a slow breath and walked toward him.“Logan.”He stopped.“Yes?”His voice was calm. Too calm.Lucia forced a small smile.“I was actually looking for you.”Logan didn’t react.He just waited.Lucia clasped her hands together lightly.“I came to apologize.”That finally made him look at her properly.His eyes narrowed slightly.“For what?”Lucia lowered her gaze for a moment, as if she felt embarrassed.“For the way I behaved earlier,” she said quietly.Her voice sounded soft now. Nothing like the anger she showed in the clinic.“I shouldn’t have reacted like that.”L
