FREYA

Consciousness returned in pieces. First the pain in my side where the knife had cut. Then the dull throb behind my eyes. Then the cold metal pressing against my cheek and the vibration of wheels rolling over uneven ground. I kept my eyes closed and focused on breathing, letting my body tell me what my mind was not yet ready to process.

Silver. That was the first real thought. The restraints around my wrists and ankles burned with a constant, low heat that told me the metal was pure and th

    FREYA"Clear!" Sarah shouted.The defibrillator pads hit Damien's chest with a dull, heavy thump. His body lurched off the surgical table, his limbs twitching as the electrical current surged through his muscles. The heart monitor did not change. The flat, high-pitched whine continued to fill the small room, drilling into my ears until my head throbbed with the sound."Nothing," the assistant whispered, his face pale under his surgical mask. "Still in standstill.""Increase the charge to three hundred," Sarah ordered, her voice tight but steady. "Now."Dante let out a low, ragged sound, his hands clawing at the metal rail of the bed. I did not look at him. I could not take my eyes off Damien's face. His lips were turning blue, the ashen color of his skin spreading down to his neck. I gripped his cold hand with both of mine, squeezing with every ounce of strength I had left, trying to send my own life force through his veins.*Breathe,* I commanded him in my mind. *You do not get to le

    FREYAThe silence in Damien's chest was louder than the gunfire, louder than the wind tearing across the broken stones of the fortress."Move," Kendrick roared, dropping his broadsword onto the flagstones with a harsh clang. He fell to his knees in the blood and rain, his large hands shoving Dante aside to press hard against the blackened hole below Damien's collarbone. The Hamilton Alpha did not look at the smoke rising from the courtyard. He did not look at the dead hunters scattered across the walkway. His focus narrowed to the pale face of his second son."He has no pulse," Dante choked out, his silver eyes wide with terror as his hands hovered over Damien's still chest. "Father, his heart has stopped.""I said move," Kendrick growled, his voice carrying the full weight of an Alpha command that made the stone under our knees vibrate. He slammed the heel of his palm down onto Damien's sternum, driving his weight into the compression. Once. Twice. Three times. "Dante, secure his ai

    FREYAThe roar that tore from Dante’s throat was not human. It was not even the sound of an ordinary wolf. It was the sound of a beast that had crossed a burning mountain to slaughter the men who had dared to touch what belonged to him.Adrian had less than a second to react.The prince dropped the dagger and tried to twist sideways, his own Lycan form surging beneath his skin, but Dante hit him with the force of an oncoming train. The impact sent both males crashing across the walkway, smashing through the wooden railing and rolling into the debris of the ruined outer wall.Stone shattered. Iron bent.Adrian threw his hands up, his claws digging deep into Dante’s silver-furred shoulder, tearing fur and muscle in a spray of dark blood. Dante did not even flinch. He clamped his jaws down onto Adrian’s left arm, shaking his massive head with enough violent power to snap the bone inside the sleeve. Adrian howled, a sound of pure agony that tore through the noise of the battle raging belo

    FREYAThe wind tore at my hair as I stood on the stone rampart, the drop to the mountain gorge yawning black and empty three feet behind my heels.Adrian did not lower the crossbow. The steel point of the bolt remained leveled directly between my eyes, steady in his gloved hands. The easy charm he had worn in the solar was gone, stripped away to reveal the cold, calculating cruelty underneath."You really thought two incompetent guards would be enough to give you a clean run," Adrian said, his voice flat and dangerous over the whistle of the wind. "You thought you could slip out into the dark and wander back to your mongrel lovers."My wolf paced beneath my skin, restless and hungry now that the silver cuffs were gone, but I knew better than to charge him across open stone. A Lycan prince with a loaded silver bolt at point blank range was a death sentence."They were your guards, Adrian," I said, keeping my chin raised. "If your men are that easy to turn against each other for a few c

    FREYAThree days inside the stone tower taught me how to measure time by the cold. The fire in the hearth was rarely lit now. Adrian had ordered the servants to bring only the bare minimum of firewood, a calculated petty torment designed to keep me shivering under the thin blankets. The draft from the high iron windows was constant, carrying the damp smell of mountain moss and distant rain. My side had begun to scab over, though the skin around the wound remained red and tender from the trace amounts of silver the blade had left behind.I did not spend those days weeping. I spent them watching the door.Two guards held the shift outside my room. The first was an older Lycan named Garrett, a bitter man with graying hair who spent most of his time leaning against the stone wall and complaining about his knees. The second was Curtis, a young, nervous soldier who had only recently been assigned to the prince's personal guard. Curtis was desperate to prove his worth, his posture always s

    LUCIANThe crystal glass shattered against the stone hearth, showering the polished marble floor with aged wine and sharp shards.None of the three royal guards standing near the door dared to move. They kept their heads bowed, their eyes fixed on the rugs, their breathing suppressed beneath the heavy weight of Lycan authority rolling off me in waves."Say it again," I ordered, turning slowly to face Lord Kaelen, my father's senior military chancellor. "Tell me again what my brother did."Kaelen swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing above his high collar. "Prince Adrian deployed private contractors to the Hamilton border eighteen hours ago. They executed five wolves, laid a chemical ambush in the ravine and captured the Ashford girl. She was transported to the Blackridge keep two hours past midnight."My hands closed into tight fists, the claws extending involuntarily, slicing through the leather palms of my gloves. Adrian. My younger brother, the arrogant second son who had spent his

    “Surprise!” Damien smiled, flashing his perfect set of white teeth and throwing his hands in midair as if this was supposed to be funny. Damien was the son of the ruthless Alpha Kendrick, my father's sworn enemy and from my teen years, I've been warned to steer clear of the Hamilton brothers.“How

    FREYA.I didn't head for a garden or a lonely place to lavish in agony. Instead I stormed out of the palace, sat at the back seat of my father's favourite Rolls Royce and told the chauffeur: "Take me straight to the Crest Swiss Hotel."He glanced at me from the rear mirror, understanding what my or

    FREYA.“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” Everyone around us chanted as I stood directly opposite Lucian. My heart did a frantic dance and I felt heat flooding my face. I blinked and leaned forward to kiss my fiancé — it was my first time ever— but he suddenly backed away and laughed awkwardly.“Oh come on, Freya

    FREYAThe first thing I became aware of was the softness beneath me and it felt nothing like the cold hard floor where I'd collapsed in my own blood. For a moment, just a fleeting beautiful moment, I thought maybe it had all been a terrible nightmare and I'd wake up in the palace infirmary with my
