2025-04-11 22:26:23Finnick's pov
Still boiling with fury, I headed straight to the pack house from the woods.
The scrunch of leaves under my boots echoing the mayhem in my thoughts.
How dare the moon goddess? How could she pair me with a weakling.
My wolf growled and agitated with me__matching close to pack house. The cliff structure emerged ahead of me, a sign of authority and dominance, yet it felt like a prison tonight.
The fragrance of that girl lingered as I walked through hallway, increasing my rage.
She was lucky I had more pressing issues to handle, or I wouldn't have allowed her Togo scot free for standing before me as my mate. A weakling before the strongest and most feared wolf of my clan.
Approaching the entrance of the pack house, I saw the towering stone walls staring like silent sentinels, keeping the world out. The air smelled cool and the scent of night lingered in it, the trees whispering in the distance. My mind was heavy with thoughts of what awaited inside. My mother. Luna Margot.
In the pack there was none who bore a greater fear than my mother. Her authority was absolute. Her word was law. She ruled with an iron hand and her protection of the pack's patrimony was the supreme goal of her life.
She was pack loyal when it was convenient but if anything came along that threatened her control she would destroy it.
In her training I learned to be powerful strong. To lead a pack. To be leader. But behind a perfectionist façade she was manipulative. She taught me how to keep up appearances. How to keep them afraid. How to be in control. At any cost.
Even in her human status, she radiates the authority of a garnished alpha. Her piercing sharp blue eyes locked onto my fury sight, I could tell the what's beneath her from her composed exterior.
"Alpha finnick Logan,"She said, her voice calm and clipped.
Luna Margot,My beta, my mother.
You’ve been celebrating joyfully, I see,” she said, looking at me. She had an even tone, but there was a cliff to it that made me shiver. “Interesting choice, coming back so late. Did the celebration in the woods make you feel … good?”
Swallowing, I knew what she was asking. Her nonchalance wasn’t fooling anybody. She knew what had occurred. She knew I had rejected freya, and I could see the anger in her eyes.
“I did what had to be done” I responded, trying to make my voice confident.
"I heard what happened over there.
Of course, she had. I wasn't shocked, news travelled quick in the pack, especially when it had to do with an alpha rejecting his Luna. I didn't bother hiding my fury and frustrations. "Okay, now what of it? You of everyone should know the reasons behind my actions". I snapped quickly, my voice harsh and steady.
You rejected her, Finnick? She was the one who was to become your mate? What did you want to prove? That you are strong? That you are not weaker than anyone?” She shook her head, and her eyes flashed something dangerous. “Do you think I do not know what you did?"
flinched, the weight of her words hit me like a rock. She never spoke in that way. Never in that tone. The power she gave off was like a blanket, smothering me.
I opened my mouth to speak. She raised her hand to silence me.
You’ve wrecked all of it,” she murmured, so softly that for a moment, I wondered if I’d caught her correctly. “She was supposed to be a perfection for you. She was supposed to fit the mold, to be a strength to this pack. You’re too reckless, Finnick. Your emotions have overshadowed your ability to see.
I paused for a moment, running my hand through my soft hairs. "I won't accept a weak Luna by my side. You've always stand on it. Not now. Not ever."
Her eyes narrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line. Her arms tightly crossed over her chest. " I understand finnick. But that doesn't mean I accept the way you let things played. Make a mockery of her? Humiliating her in front of everyone? That's below you finnick".
Her expressions softened, but her eyes remains steady. " I've always said and wanted you to have a strong Luna, yes I know. But power isn't just about control. It's about leadership. You may have rejected your chosen Luna but the way everything played out speaks low of you, not her."
Those words struck a nerve, but I don't know care how it reflects on my life.
My mother stepped closer. "I know you're angry, I know you feel awkward about everything, feel of being played by the moon goddess. But don't let it blanket your judgement. You are alpha finnick Logan, your actions have repercussions weather you accept it or not."
I turned away hiding my gaze from her. At some point, she was right and I hated to admit. Openly admitting to this proves I had made a mistake and that I wasn't ready for. Not yet.
"The deed is done mother," I finally uttered, my voice low. " I am not going to apologize for rejecting her of course. She's not what I want. Not what the pack needs now."
My mother read through me for a second, her eyes searching. Then she nodded in agreement, satisfied for the moment I guess.
"Great" now, go freshen up. You look horrible like you've been fighting with the entire wolf all night."
I gazed down at my appearance__dirts and dried leaves clinged to my clothes and hair, torn shirts. She didn't lied. The thought of Freya flashed my thoughts again, sending wave of anger through me.
"I'll see to that," I said, turning to head upstairs with shame and fury boiling.
As I stepped few feets away from her, her voice stopped me. "Finnick Logan"
I halted and turned to her. "Mother"
" Remember one thing, the moon goddess does not make mistakes or play with something of such importance. Even if we don't accept her choices, they're always valid reasons behind."
I didn't utter a word. The idea behind pairing me with a nobody was laughable. Her words kept a repeating sound in my mind as I made way to my room.
Dashed into my room, I stripped off and walked into the shower, allowing the water to wash off the grime and loitering scent of my so called Luna. Her wide, scary eyes. The way she had stood boldly before me, even when I'd mocked her shamefully.
My mother was right at some point. I needed to be a better wolf, not just in power but in my character too. But that didn't mean I had to accept someone unworthy of me. I, alpha finnick Logan will never settle for less.
I stepped out of the shower, making a decision for myself.i vowed to find a brace, strong and powerful Luna who is deserving of my position. And I would go to any length to defy the moon goddess herself, if she had other plans for me. I would sculpture my own route, no matter the cost. I had
a pack to lead and a reputation to guard, not even the moon goddess would stand in my way.

The cursed mate's return Chapter three: run, Freya run.
Freya's pov Next days merged in fog of pain, tiredness and misunderstanding. I was alone, completely alone. The pack had abandoned me, and Finnick...Finnick refused me, called me weak, worthless. His words tortured my mind. I heard them all the time and could do nothing with this. But there was more. Something had been woken up inside me, in the forest. Something powerful and I could not pretend I did not feel it.Further into the forest I go, away from the territory of the pack and in search of the truth.Trees rise up, their boughs twisted like gnarled skeletal fingers that are holding onto the sky. The atmosphere is tingling, my hairs stand up from my skin. The earth is like it's moving under me, responding to my every step.My power is wild and restless, like a storm that I have no idea how to control or even what it is.The night grew older and I had settled in for the cool night, I felt it. The drift in the air. The flames in the hearth shattered unnaturally and the hair on skin

Freya's povA week had elapsed, and I still could not decide what to do. The power in me increased daily. The forest spoke to me and the trees obeyed. My sense of hearing, sight, and smell improved. Nevertheless, Finnick's refusal was painful, and I could not get rid of the memory of his words.Then one night I felt it.The pull. The bond. Finnick.I had tried to push it away. But I couldn't. The connection was undeniable. I had thought he had forgotten me. Clearly he hadn't. He was out there. Somewhere.But to face him again the idea of it, the thought of confronting the Alpha who had shattered me, was terrifying. I could not run forever. I could not hide from this. I could not hide from what was happening to me and what I was becoming.That night, as I inched my way toward the pack's territory, I saw them. A group of wolves, Finnick's wolves, patrolled the perimeter. Their eyes scanned the shadows."Oh, What are they looking for?"And then, just as I turned to exit the corner, I fel
최신 업데이트 : 2025-04-11The cursed mate's return Chapter five: where monsters begin
Freya's pov A scary figure jumped into the moonlight, its gigantic shape looming over us like a hurricane. My breath stuck in my throat as I took a glare of it. The enormous creature was too huge, its terrifying dark fur, black as night, its eyes blinking an uncanny eerie amber. I froze, powerless to sprint my gaze from the huge beast. "Is that...?" I mumbled, my voice low over the resounding of my heart. Finnick’s expressions had void of color. He matched back, his hand instinctively stretching for the dagger at his side. "That's him. Kade’s leading in reinforcements."The words struck me like a thwack to the gut. My mind bolted, trying to bring together the nightmare unveiling before me. Kade. Yes of course. This was his doing. He’d been waiting for this day—the day when Finnick and I were at our most unguarded. When we were at each other's throats, when our trust was wore out. I smelt the blood splash to my face, fury exploding in my chest. "You...You brought this upon us," I s

Freya's povPower surged through my body a foreign energy building in my chest. It was as if the earth called me urging me to fight, to stand my ground."Kade won't win," I said aloud. My voice trembled with the strength of my conviction. "I won't allow it."The creature took one more step closer, its massive paw lifted from the ground ready to fall.And in that moment, everything changed. The atmosphere seemed to crackle, ground under me seemed to hum with energy, and I could feel the power in me as never before.But I did not know what would be next.I did not know if I had the strength to stop Kade, or if I had lost everything.The scary figure stepped into the moonlight, its gigantic shape lurking over us like a hurricane. My breath stuck in my throat as I took a glance of it. The enormous creature was tremendous, its terrifying fur, black as night, its eyes shining an uncanny eerie amber. I froze, powerless to sprint my gaze from the huge beast. "Is that...?" I mumbled, my voice

Freya's pov I didn’t hear him coming. I felt him.The air warped. It turned bold, heavy like every breath I took had to twark its way through a storm. My heart picked up a race, thundering against my ribs as the scent of steel and smoke curled into my lungs. I knew that smell. Even after all these years. Even after I'd buried the memory of it, deep like a corpse beneath my skin.Kade.I spin around, already reaching for the surge of power accelerating in my veins, but it thrashed wildly, like it was waking up from a long deep sleep. No—like it was trying to protect me from him.He stood just before the clearing, the moonlight gleaming across his face. That smile… gods, that damned smile hadn’t changed.“Hello, Freya.” His voice was low, smooth, and terrifyingly calm. “You’ve grown into it nicely.”“What the are you doing here?” I smacked, fighting to grip my balance as my power tightened inside me. “How did you find me?”“hmmm,You make it sound like I was haunting you,” he said, stepp
최신 업데이트 : 2025-04-20The cursed mate's return Chapter eight: I was born for this war
The first thing I observed was noticing my breath, fast and shallow, as the cold was cutting me like a knife. The moon was seen high in the sky gleaming silver dim light through the trees that created a spinning ghost shadow. My Heart was racing, pulse was pumping and blood vessels surging through my veins.Kade's voice was a new wind in my mind, unyielding: "Come on, Freya. Take your claim to your birthright, or die as a pawn in Finnick's war."Kade's invitation pressed on me like a bee Sting. I wanted to shove it off, I wanted to destroy everything Finnick had spent his life building, I wanted him to suffer for the agony he inflicted on my family. But there was also obligation, and a heavier feeling pulled me. My pack, my people needed me."Make the right choice, Freya. For once in your life, make a good choice."Kade's voice was not just a temptation, but a promise of power, and of control. Power that had been out of my reach for far too long. But was I ready to pay the price? How
최신 업데이트 : 2025-04-21The cursed mate's return Chapter nine: mine, even in shadows
Finnick povI used to think I knew what loyalty meant. That my pack would always stand by me. That love could protect the people I cared about. But everything changed the night Freya disappeared.She didn’t just leave. She was taken.Kade, Alpha of the Hollowfangs stole her. He tricked her with promises. Promises to help her control her powers: shadows and the strange energy of the moon. I don’t know if she followed him on her own or if he pulled her in somehow. But she left. And when she did, it felt like the moon itself had gone dark.For weeks, I searched everywhere. Through forests, rivers, caves, any place where she might be. I followed the trail of her magic, asked rogues for clues, begged the stars for help. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.Then, one night, I found something. A raven landed near me. It was dying and in its beak was a message.'She’s stronger now. You’re too late.' Kade.I tore the note apart. I didn’t believe him. I won’t ever believe that it’s too late to save her.

The scent of burning pine slapped me in the face before the first howl pierced the sky.I was too late.By the time I reached the edge of White claw territory, the damage was already spreading like wildfire, literally. Flames ate the tree lines, crackling like laughter in the air. Screams echoed in the night air, a mixture of chaos and terror. And through it all, I could feel her. Freya.Kade had used her power. I didn’t know how he convinced her, or how far she’d gone, but I could feel her energy tearing at the seams of our defenses like a dagger through old cloth.This wasn’t just an ambush.It was a full massacre.I walked down the incline, dodging the sharp debris, my claws thrust forth and breath heavy in my chest. The trees around me were burnt black, and ash floated like snow. Every thing nerve in my body screamed for me to turn back. But I couldn’t. Not when my pack was under attack. Not when she was still out there.A low growl rumbled to my right. I spun just in time to parr

The cursed mate's return Chapter twenty nine: don't leave me
Finnick's POV Everything was wrong. My thoughts crackling with energy I couldn’t control. My heart pounded in my chest, a reminder that the woman I loved, the woman I'd failed was slipping away from my fingers. Freya stood in the middle of the chaos, her power sprouting in the air like a young plant , so strong,wild and energetic, that it felt as though the very earth itself was rotating under our feet.But she was no more the Freya I knew.Not anymore.I tried to bring myself forward, every instinct yelling at me to reach her, to stop her before it was too late. But there was something surfing between us now, something that I couldn’t handle. Looks like a pie of energy, so fierce and too dangerous that it sliced through my wolf, through my soul.I wanted to scream out her name loud but dumb at that moment."Freya!" I groaned, my voice cuddling with desperation. "Please, I beg of you my dear. Come back to me. Please"But she didn’t spun or responded. She didn’t even look at me.Her
The cursed mate's return Chapter twenty eight: forgive me freya
I couldn’t breathe as I gasp for air. It hurts, watching Freya pass through all these when I couldn't offer any assistance to her pierces through me.The unsettled wind knocked me off my thought, I couldn't focus on anything far except her. Freya. She stood there, just a few feets away, her face filled with the kind of pain I couldn’t heal away. Her eyes, those eyes, haunted me more than the enemy did. The betrayal spinning around her, the rage, the hurt. I’d put that look in them.Riven.My heart diced painfully at the sight of him, foolishly standing there beside Kade. The wolf I had once nurtured into an ally, a friend like a brother__now a traitor. The man who'd helped us fight, helped us prepare for what was coming, was now helping Kade__the enemy to crumble us.How did we get here? How'd I allowed this to happen__get to this extent?“I told you this was how it'd to be,” Riven said, his voice empty. “Freya’s power is too dangerous__too much for her. She can’t handle it.”I clen
The cursed mate's return Chapter twenty seven: blood betrayal
Freya's pov I woke up to the sound of crackling fire and murmuring voices. My body felt heavy, weak and a sharp pain hugging my body. I blinked thrice, trying to capture the blurry images around me. My surroundings slowly came into limelight. I was lying on the ground near a campfire, the night sky laid above me, beautiful stars twinkling in distant, unfeeling stare.“Freya?” A familiar voice whispered, and then the pressure mounted on me. Finnick?I turned my head, trying to see his face. His expression was confusing, a mix of worry and something soft, more uncertain though.“You’re up,” he said, relief sliding his tone. He wiped his palm on his face, visibly tired. “You startled me.”I tried to sit up, but the pain on me, made me gasp. It was as if someone had pierced through a broken glass into my flesh. “What happened?” I whispered, my voice hoarse and low.“You were hit,” Finnick replied, his hand heavily pressing against the wound on my side, his eyes loitering over the darken
The cursed mate's return Chapter twenty six: the last flamekeeper
Freya's pov The silence after the flash of light was suffocating, a Calm sparkle settling over the battlefield. I stood frozen, my hands still on air the power within me lurking with a new intensity. My heart was beating in my chest, my mind leaving coating my vision, trying to understand and analyse what had just happened.Finnick standing beside me, his expressions confused and unreadable, searching through darkness for any sign of movement. The wolves from Kade’s pack still frozen, their glare flicking nervously, between us and the darkened woods behind them.“What just happened now?” Finnick asked, his voice barely loud over the pounding of my heartbeat."I don’t know,” I whispered back, my glare locked on the space where the light effect had once struck. The air felt energized, almost as if that very atmosphere had shifted to another side. Something had changed, something deep.And then it pushed me.But I wasn’t alone.Before I could process the whole thing, a figure emerged b
The cursed mate's return Chapter twenty five: betrayal's end
Freya's povThe air was heavy with the weight of Riven’s words. I was gasping for air, feeling my heart sink deeper with each passing moment. "You’ve been toying with me?" I said quietly, disbelief coating my voice like something bitter. "You’ve been working with Kade all of this time?" Riven was silent for a moment entirely. His eyes were sharp like he was trying to figure me out. It was the first time I understood the coldness I noted in his eyes— similar to Kade's. "You were always the key, Freya," he said, a smoothness to his voice that felt almost soothing. "But I didn’t come for your heart. I came for your power. You were a means to an end. Nothing more." His words blew me like a punch to the bone marrow__Betrayal. The man I trusted, the man I believed was once an ally, had been plotting against me from the very start.Finnick was by my side now with his protective stance. His eyes were trained on Riven, the tension was so thick in the air that it was borderline suffocating.
The cursed mate's return Chapter twenty four: godfire
Freya’s pov Time came to a standstill, but the impending danger lurked on. Now Kade stood before us, right infront of us, the energy in the air thick with tension. My heart racing as I tried to come in alignment with the nightmare that was unfolding. The ancient dagger rested in the grasp of Kade, reflecting the gentle starlight that cut through the clouds. I had thought the god’s flame was the worst of my fears, but now, Kade—Alpha Kade—the very man who has brazenly attempted to use me for his own purposes was ready to finish what he started. Kade’s voice was a low growl filled with a dark intent. “You think this is over?” He made his promises. Every word left his mouth felt like it landed a punch in my stomach. “The god’s power doesn’t belong to you. It belongs to me.” Before I could even digest what was happening, I felt the god inside me, its power stirring in my very essence. He came to claim it for himself; my worst possible nightmare. “They shall not have you,” Finn
The cursed mate's return Chapter twenty three: I'm dying
Freya's povDarkness shut in around me entirely. I didn't know where the earth ended and the sky started. The furnace that had once burned within me now howled to a distant hum, accompanied by a seeping cold crawling into my limbs.And then a voice slice through the quiet."Freya… "Finnick's voiceI didn't hesitate to speak, but my throat dry, my skin crawling heavily. Each move, each breath, was labor."Freya, please."His voice was louder this time—fearful, like a roar__with fear.But I could do no more than stay there and stiffened, accompanied by the whirling blackness.I felt a tap on my shoulders, shaking me, calling my name. And then I felt goose bumps on me, drawing me towards the light.I opened my eyes again and saw myself but no longer in the void.Finnick was kneeling beside me, his face terrified and tight with worry. The familiar smell of pine and earth surrounded me, but there was something else__ darker.“You’re awake,” Finnick breathed, his voice rough. “Thank the mo
The cursed mate's return Chapter twenty two : born out of fire
Freya's pov The god stood tall above the battlefield. Smoke curled from its wings. Its eyes held stars—and storms. It didn’t breathe, never blinked. It simply watched, as if deciding who would die first.Wolves fell silent.Even Kade knelt, his head bowed, trembling. But I didn’t bow, I possiblely couldn’t.The fire inside me was burning hotter than ever. Not wild. Not out of control but clear__Focused.“Freya,” Finnick said softly beside me. “What is that thing?”I swallowed hard. “A Flame-Taker. A being born from the first war between gods and wolves. It feeds on power. It lives off flame.”Riven stepped forward. “It came through the gate because of you.”“No,” I said, steady now. “It came because of Kade. But it’s here because of me.” The god’s voice rolled like thunder. "The gate is open. The flame belongs to me.”Then it moved__Fast and thenToo fast.A blur of smoke and fire striking down three wolves in seconds. They didn’t even scream or sob they just turned to ash instantly
The cursed mate's return Chapter twenty one: the last flamekeeper
Freya’s POVThe ground was shaking, the sky was filled with fire and smoke. Wolves howled. Magic lit the air. I ran through it all, heart pounding, flames in my chest growing weaker with every step.Kade was waiting for me, he was energetic and ready to go any length.He stood in the middle of the battlefield, calm like this was all part of his plan. His wolves fought around him, but he didn’t move.He didn’t have to.Riven ran on my left, fighting like a storm. Finnick was on my right, growling low, his eyes locked on Kade. We were getting closer—almost there.Then I saw her__Luna Margot, Finnick’s mother.Alive, Standing huge beside Kade. Wearing silver armor and a cold, proud smile.My stomach dropped.“No,” Finnick whispered. “She’s supposed to had gone.”My gaze focused at her, the flame inside me lurking. “She lied.”She looked straight at me. “I warned you, Freya. You don’t belong. You never did.”“You...you betrayed your own son,” I said, my voice shaking but sharp.Margot’s
