Protecting His Luna~Freya~If only I wasn't in the room at that moment maybe I would be able to prove my innocence. But whatever I say will only make things worse.And not to mention that my sister was the one who called the guards on me. I know she doesn't like me. But I could not believe she would go this far. You know you are doomed when your family decides not to support you in times like this. Sofia was so nice to me that nightly knew it was a facade and the next moment she was handing me over to the guards. She didn't see me kill Hannah, so why would she do that to me? Only my father and Klaus had come to visit me, then Alpha Orion's mother. I could tell from the look in her eyes she had her doubts, she knew I wouldn't do something like that but at the same time, she looked disappointed. "I didn't do it. Believe me, I didn't. She was lying right there already stabbed to death when I got to the room. " She only looked at me pitifully when I said this to her and she left. My o
Taken Away From Him Again~Freya~Surprisingly, Alpha Orion had told the maids to arrange a bath for me and a delicious meal. He truly is my lifesaver. I was so famished. The scraps of grains and crumbs of dried bread given to me in the prison were something I could not eat. Thinking about the prison made me sick. "Thank you," I told Alpha Orion softly after he offered me a bowl of hot broth. He told me to drink it as it was nutritious and would help me get rid of the cold. I looked like a ghost in prison. "Drink up before it gets cold." He whispered, pulling the blanket over me tightly. I still do not know why people see him as dark and ruthless. If he was all those bad things he would not be so sweet to me. They were all wrong. They hadn't had a chance to know him. I am no one, I had nothing to give this man but yet he treated me with love. "Why are you so nice to me?" I asked him, raising my eyes to meet him but I quickly looked down because his gaze was like he was looking righ
Hard Decision~Orion~"You fool!" I yelled immediately I reached Tristan's chambers hurling the door to his room open."Are you crazy? What did you do? Why didn't you inform me before doing what the elders asked?" I hauled Tristan."Alpha calm down, please. I was only following orders and doing my duty. It's not like I want her there too?" He said defensively."Oh really, and you couldn't wait until I returned huh? I was only gone for a minute. Whose side are you on anyway?" I replied to him, waiting for an answer. I had to get my answer because Tristan was becoming annoying lately. He is my cousin and my Beta for crying out loud, he is supposed to be on my side. But he was acting the opposite!He has always been one to fear and respect the council of elders. Unlike me, I did respect them but I do not fear them. Rather they should be the ones weary of me! I had left Freya still sleeping when I took off to see my mother. I planned to go back immediately. Last night before I dozed off,
Dark Sorrows~Freya~My end is near. Alone and abandoned. My mistake was being too hopeful, too daft to reason and defend myself to my last breath. Ever since I was thrown in prison for the second time, I hadn't set my eyes on Orion. I feel worthless. I was brought out of the prison and held in chains like a criminal, I could do nothing but look straight ahead, accepting my ill fate. I heard the maid whom I had met at the maid section to ask for Hannah on that fateful day had denied ever seeing me. I felt betrayed and pained. But this only taught me to trust fewer people. I don't think I need that advice now as I was dying soon. I could see the ropes hanging already. It saddens me that my father would be left to grief over the loss of a daughter.The only regret I have is that I wish it was Sofia I killed. Yeah! That evil girl! If I did that, it would make it one less evil in the world, I'd be doing the world a favour by making it a better place. I felt intense pain caused by a sto
Good Or Bad News~Freya~It's been three days since I was captured and we had been journeying. We were only fed once a day and worse, treated like animals. The women had their torture way easier though, we weren't whipped as the men were but any woman who angers any of the slave traders was forced to lay with them for the night. None of us wanted that, so we never fought them. My body ached all over. I felt sick, weak and miserable. I almost wished I had just died on that precipice back home. I wished I wasn't saved. How much worse could my life get? Honestly, I am beginning to think that I am cursed, how can I go through this series of hell; from having an unhappy childhood where I am stuck with an evil step-mother and sister, to being wolfless since birth, to being accused of murder and now kidnapped by slave traders. When we reached the "slave harbour" as the master rider of our carriage called it. We were all told to come off the wagon and join the other slaves who were whipped a
The Pressure Of Getting Another Mate~Orion~As the alpha of Moonstone Haven and the Blood Moon Pack. I could do as I please but as a leader who is to lead his people by example, I was not above the law. That's not a good example to set. Our ancestors had put those laws there for a reason. Without laws, we were not different from animals, so I had to play smart.I could do nothing to help her, she was guilty of the accusations. It wasn't just her sister but a maid as well who had denied seeing Freya.I was confused as I was made to believe that Freya must have been lying and was guilty of the crime all along. But my heart refuses to agree. It just doesn't make sense that Freya would kill anyone.If I abandon her now and it turns out she is innocent, it will hurt me forever and I will feel responsible for her death. I confided in Gabriel and we came up with a plan. If the Council of Elders find out that I have a hand in Freya's escape, I will be deposed. The next in line is Tristan who
Another Murder~Orion~"Mother, it hasn't been a week. And you all want me to move on like nothing happened.""I understand you son, but you don't need me to remind you that every day you lead as an Alpha without an heir, it is a big issue to you. You need to move on." I didn't want to bother my mother with the details of how I went as far as trying to find Freya and proving her innocence. "Father would not have moved on immediately if this happened to you. You know that right? So why are they all onto me to find another mate as quickly as possible." She was silent as she looked at me as if to say "You were right.""You have always said you want to love a good woman the way your father loved me because he was a great man and a good lover.""I still do. When he was alive, I used to see the way he looked at you. He does everything to make you happy. He told me how you made him feel despite spending all those years together. Your affection for each other was as good as new. And I think
Falling For Her Seduction~Orion~"This is suicide. She ingested a wolf bane." The healer concluded by covering Irene's whole body with a piece of white cloth."How do you know that?" I asked."We found traces of it at her house"That was not true. Irene had no reason to kill herself. She would not be so stupid to do that because I rejected her advances yesterday. Irene had bruises around her neck. Someone who wants to commit suicide will not go around bruising themselves first. How would she have done that before she ingested Wolfbane? She was murdered."She didn't kill herself. Whoever killed her is trying to make it look like suicide." The killer might think he can fool everyone but not me. Shortly after I came, Tristan arrived as well. He salutes me and goes ahead to give his own assessment of the situation. "Alpha, she was with you yesterday. Did you two get into a fight? I was shocked when I heard the corpse found was Irene's." he looks at her corpse with pity."Well, it wasn't
