Freya had taken care of Lucien’s wounds that night, but not without nagging him nonstop on how there were better ways to talk it out with his brother than punching each other faces to the death, Though Lucien laughed it off and told her not to worry, Freya studied him and saw he wasn’t just pretending, they had talked it out, So when Lucien had told her about the meeting they would have in his study, Freya didn’t argue and agreed to meet up with Kaiden...A few days passed and Freya was reminded about the meeting and marched to Lucien’s study to wait for him since he was not in the bedroom when she woke up, She had reached the study’s large familiar oak doors and opened them, the room was empty when she walked in and closed the door behind her, She walked about the space, she didn’t know how much she missed this place till she had touched through the shelves of books and she might have since taken some books to her room months ago and read some when no one was in there, She had

•FREYA• . . Darkness. Was the only thing felt all around me, I felt like I had fallen into a deep abyss that no one could save me from, a cold bloody abyss. But there was warmth. A warmth that filled my entire body even though I was stuck in this frigid cold place, A warmth that felt like home surrounded me. I steered awake as my body felt warm and queasy, faded memories all came rushing in as I lay on her bed, I shut my eyes again and calmed my breathing before I opened them. I looked over to see that I wasn’t alone in the room, and seeing the person beside me was almost enough to bring me to tears It was Lucien, his head was on the bed while his body was on a stool and his hands were entwined with mine like he hadn’t let go through the night, How many hours was I asleep? I wondered as my arms reached out to caress his face, his eyes immediately shot open as he stared down at me, “ darling” he muttered as his shaking hand reached up to caress my face, as he felt me affirm

•FREYA• .“ you’re pregnant aren’t you?” I asked Melissa who stared at me surprised as her eyes widened, I just knew I was correct when she didn’t answer me, but I wanted to know more about the truth. “ Kaiden ..is he the father?” I whispered to her but Melissa had stood up quickly, taking my hands in hers, and walked us hastily away from the warm fire, She had taken me to her assigned quarters before closing the door after leading me in, I turned to see her head hanging sadly on the doors as her eyes were closed before I heard her voice that came out in almost a whisper “ Are you-are you going to tell him?” she asked me as her desperate eyes met mine in a full-blown panic “ no!” I called out, almost in disbelief as I marched across the room to where she stood “ no Melissa I would never say anything don't say so, I think you should tell him now, tell him that you are carrying his child?” “ and ruin the little friendship I had made with him? No? Even after we slept together he ha

“I met with a hybrid” Melissa confessed confusing Freya, Lucien, and Kaiden who watched her with Silent questions “ what do you mean you have met with one?” Lucien snarled but Melissa had unbuttoned her long coat and let it drop to the floor, Up until now, Freya felt she was stupid not to notice that Melissa was wearing a ridiculous amount of big stuffy clothing all the time, It was unusual from what she usually wore because it was Melissa they were talking about, a wolf unashamed of her nudity but now covered up everything, And now her body was littered with scars and scratches on her hands and neck, there were healing but still visibly there, Freya could feel Kaiden’s body stiffen at her wounds as he marched forward towards her with such quickness she didn’t have time to turn her head, his hands came to her back and his jaw went slack and burned with anger “ what in the fucking hell happened!?” Kaiden snarled with worry as his hands went around her skin, and one flew to her face

Freya had been back in her old room with she couldn’t help but dare read the letters that were given to her from her father all over again, Only if she had a clue of who had been making her family like a living hell, “ only if there was another clearer message to help me understand” she whispered as she lay down, She faced the letter to a lamp that she had turned on and the reflection against the paper, her eyes widened immediately as she saw scribbles starting to appear in the light, It was invisible ink! Freya muttered as she stood up and read through those lines before, as turned it over to read through the letters that were still appearing slowly, as it read; Dear Freya, There is a looming threat that has always looked for us, I just hope this threat never finds you, but if it does you just stay away from this man, there is a king that wanted me And my powers for his own But I did not agree and I rejected him But he didn’t give up, and he almost killed your father an
