Lucien's p.o.vI gently placed Freya on the bed, covering her up with the duvet. There clearly has to be something more than the fever she's been experiencing or perhaps, the fever had colonized her brain somehow. She wasn't like this. She just snapped out of the blue and she has remained this way since Ravenna arrived.She hardly ever wants to see her or she and I together. Astrid of blessed memory had told me Ravenna would be breaking the curse and she is the mercy of the moon goddess through the wild. She will be bearing my heir. And as the first Luna, I could only imagine the pain and state of mind of Freya. I'm not a woman but I know how this thing is between them.But she ought to have known better. I need an heir to continue my father's legacy and stop Cassius's madness of trying to dethrone me. She is my forever, she should have understand me better. But instead, she chose jealousy. Letting it engulf her and turning her into this. How unfortunate!Ravenna had been such a gent
Freya's p.o.vMy throat retched as a wave of nausea washed over me for the umpteenth time this morning, my stomach rebelling against whatever was causing this misery.I have been down with fever since three days ago and with constant vomiting. Lucien had summoned for the doctor and she had prescribed some herbs which only made the whole thing worse.I finally vomited into the pail kept beside me on the bed that I was lying and I could feel my own body literally burning up."I assure you its not what you think, your honor," Crystal, the doctor said as Lucien patted my forehead with the cold clean rag he was holding. "It's only a matter of time before the fever subsides."Crystal handed Lucien another herbs. "This is much stronger. More potent. Penetrates through the brain quicker. Should ward off the fever in just two days at most.""Thank you, Crystal."Crystal left as soon as she arrived and Lucien handed the herbs to Gwen, my personal maid that Lucien had gotten me. She scurried out
Amarantha's p.o.vI flung the platter of venison and soup the maid had placed in front of me as we all have lunch at the great hall in Alpha Reid's castle. All heads turned towards my direction and Cassius couldn't help but drop his mead. It's been many weeks and counting and yet, Zephyrine is no where to be found. She never told us where she was going or when she'd be back. It was just one night when we had all feasted together. She had told us victory was near and it was only a matter of days, not even months. We had believed her and that morning and many mornings after, when our eyes cleared, we knew we had been betrayed."How the hell could you all be feasting when all our dreams have been cut short?" I shouted as I couldn't contain the anger residing in me over the time any longer. "How could you all?"Alpha Reid sighed and so did his wife. "We clearly have no choice but to back down and think of a plan in the meantime —"I giggled hard. "A plan, Alpha Reid?" I repeated. "The sa
Ravenna's p.o.vI walked pass the terrace of the manor as Mandy trailed right behind me. The sun shone brightly on the manor's garden, casting its warm glow on the fountain. My mind reeled back to last night. Freya had had a dream again and the way she panted as she barged in to meet Lucien made me realize she probably had had a nightmare about him.Poor, Luna! she must have been so afraid for her mate. But it's only a matter of time before her fear becomes a reality while I laugh on the throne.Mandy and I have been friends since my arrival and I have grown accustomed to her warmth and hospitality. Her hands sure does magic with scrubbing the body and her presence, always more than a delight.She has such a close relationship with Freya and I could understand why she had chosen her as her favorite in the manor. I have been waiting for the perfect moment to approach her, and now seemed like the right time." Mandy, why don't you walk with me— beside me," I gestured at her and she hast
Freya's p.o.vI closed my eyes, letting the darkness wash over me as I drifted off to sleep. But my mind had other plans. A vivid and disturbing dream unfolded before me, like a dark and twisted movie. It's the same dream I have been having about her, about them.In the dream, I saw Lucien, standing tall and strong. But his eyes betrayed him, filled with a hint of fear. Before him stood, Ravenna. Her eyes blazed with an otherworldly power, and the sir around her seemed to ripple and distort. It was as if the very fabric of reality was bending to her will."No one can save you," Ravenna shouted as a sinister laughter followed. "Not even her, Lucien Salvatore. You belong to the curse and it shall take it place with you."As I watched in horror, Ravenna raised her hands, and a storm erupted around them. The winds howled and lightning flashed, illuminating the darkening sky. Lucien tried to defend himself, but he was no match for Ravenna's power. She seemed to be controlling the storm, di
Freya's p.o.vKnowing they have finally arrived, I put down my comb and rose to my feet, turning back to meet their gaze. I could see the shock in Ravenna's eyes but at the same time,I must commend her for shrugging it off— a tough witch indeed.Back then in the pit, I had fallen asleep and had seen my wolf. Her name is Arachane. She had appeared to me in my dream for the very first time and had told me not to to fear or be scared as I stared at her in shock and awe. She was so beautiful, I was almost blinded by her beauty. Her fur was as white as snow and her eyes, as large as mine with thin long lashes. She was a perfect replica of myself and maybe even stronger. No, definitely stronger.She had made me realize that I have a purpose in Lucien's life and that the moon goddess had awoken her for this purpose as well— to be my guide. She had told me I have the power to change Lucien's fate somehow before the curse reaches its peak or else, she's afraid the curse might win.I felt a m
