Kara had dressed her up elegantly and smartly, if she had gotten a scent or any traces of Lucien in her room she didn’t speak on it until she was done dressing Freya up, in a midnight blue silk gown, Her light brown hair was twirled to sit daintily on her shoulders, as the gown hugged her soft curves, with minimal makeup but her beauty was still ethereal, She had gone out to stand with Lucien and Kaiden, to show that she truly belonged to the wolves now, to show the vampire that they had leverage over them. Kaiden didn’t even spare a glance but didn’t say anything when she had stayed near him instead and avoided Lucien’s gaze and a spot at his side which Diandra happily took with a smug looking on her face. Lucien looked like he wanted to say something but he held back as the doors of the pack's gate opened up, and the figures of five guests stood. Freya’s heart beat so fast as she saw her coven, her family if they even saw her as that, two guards were in front, and in the middle

•FREYA’S POV• . . The coven was given a room in the castle to stay in, even though they were the wolves' enemy they still treated them with respect, and they still sheltered them to stay in Whereas this would never happen in the coven, from Julian and the elder's teaching, we were told to Hate and kill wolves, to show no mercy, but here they were taking refuge in the house of one, I knew it was a big blow to Julians pride I was surprised actually that Diandra hadn’t said anything yet, We hadn’t seen eye to eye, and worse after that kiss, I didn’t want to be near her. I didn’t indulge In any other conversation with them, wanting to be in my own space, my head hurt from all the drinking and thinking, what did Lucien mean what I saw was not what happened? Should I have stayed? Been more patient and heard him out? The next day I saw the table set with a different array of drinks and snacks, since this meeting had never happened in centuries, Lucien was kind enough to invite them to

Sunset had dawned and the vampires were ready for their journey back to their coven, Julian and Claudia with Alaric who had an unreadable expression bid their farewell to the wolves “ it seems my daughter does not want to see us off” Julian huffed out as they looked around and Freya did not come down to tell them goodbye Kaiden had held himself enough not to eye-roll at Julian because he knew the man cared very little for Freya and was just pretending While Lucian made no note of it as it was her choice, he had also tried to talk to her before on the balcony but she rejected his advances. Claudia had looked around once more and smiled with a knowing evil look, that Diandra wasn’t also here, giving them one last greeting before they left the park grounds. . . Freya had been in the room after her encounter with Claudia, she could still feel Lucien’s warm hands wrapped around her waist, and she still could breathe in his scent She tried to close her eyes and sleep even though she

Freya had slept deeply after that, and to her disappointment, Lucien didn’t come back and she didn’t dare hope, her body had finally given up everything that had happened came crashing down, causing heavy weight on her body, as she was tired She Dozed into a deep sleep after hopeless hours of waiting, but before sunrise, the door had opened up, she was far too tired to open her eyes, her eyelid felt heavy, and she had felt the figure come close to her body, giving her a small kiss on her forehead before departing Freya had slept for hours on end, tossing and turning when necessary but never woke up to eat, not until it was mid-afternoon, She had felt heavy clothes thrown on her “ wake up Princess !” She heard Kaiden call as she woke up, he looked amused at finding her asleep She had bed hair and she felt like she had been thrown bricks, even though the swelling had all gone down, especially the bust on her lip that had closed up. “ Kaiden? What are you-” “ you need to stand up pr

•FREYA•.“ tell us everything from the beginning child” Kara spoke to me, as the three wolves gathered in Lucien’s study, they were all quiet about the tattoo I had explained everything about my life and that I was not originally born in the vampire coven, and that my mother died the day I was born “ I was told by my dad to never let anyone in the vampire coven see it, he told me never to show anyone, but to be honest it felt like a burden” I explained “It hurt when someone tried to touch it, but that was different when ….” I traced it as my gaze moved to Lucien, when he had touched me, I felt good, it felt right but I didn’t dare say that out loud. “ My sense is now all heightened, at first it just showed up when I was in danger or my emotions were heightened, but now I can hear and smell things that I couldn’t” I had explained all that to see all of them looking at me, their looks filled with surprise at my story, “ The prophecy, I had dreamed it, months ago, I dreamt about a
