The Morning After...

Freya's POV What in all of the seven hells was this? I struggled to pick my jaw from the floor as I stared blankly at the what was in front of me. Drawings, scraps, marks, names here and there, papers, shreds of clothing, talons, teeth, and to my horrible shock - an earlobe! If I didn't know any better, I would conclude that this was a shrine to some strange, foreign god. Question marks were popping up everywhere in my head. "I-I reached out for you in my sleep and I didn't feel you there, then I came out and saw you and your messenger going down the stairs, so I followed." The silence that ensued after my unsteady outburst was thick with suspicion from me. The study was bathed in the orange glow of the flickering candlelight and it appeared to form a halo around his head. What a fitting irony. A fallen angel in his true element. He stared at me, his expression unreadable but there was a steely glint in his eyes. "We need to talk, Freya." Sure as hell we do! "Okay." He p

The Selection Process I

Beta Darius's POV "How can I trust you?" My voice boomed with a false confidence I didn't feel. The cove was ghost-quiet except for the crunch of dried autumn leaves under my feet and the haunting screech of owls at the foot of the cove. The blinding darkness reached into my lungs and squeezed mercilessly, making breathing a Herculean task. Jittery nerves shot to my feet like a bolt of lightning and turned them to jelly. I hoped to the Moon Mother that these disgraceful nerves didn't burst to the surface and betray the brave expression I hoped looked convincing enough on my face. I let out a shaky breath, "Say something. I have come from a far distance," My heart was in my throat, threatening to leap out. A low, crisply accented voice sliced through my thoughts like the edge of a blade from behind me. "The Lycan Beta of Adivaine, Beta Darius. Am I correct?" My head snapped around so sharply in shock, a jolt of pain zapped through my neck. Where the fuck did she come out from

The Selection Process II

Alpha's Zane's POV Howls pierced the air as we stepped through the dividing doors, welcoming the presence of their king and queen. I didn't remember this event being such a big affair but then it's been thirty years. My eyes took in the whole occasion. There were fifty packs in the entire kingdom of Adivaine. Each pack gave up their best and most skillful werewolf to the royal guard selection process. Five neat rows of impressive-looking and eager, young pups bowed as I appeared with my luna draped on my arm. I stole a glance at her one more time. Her pale skin glowed in the dark with her silver hair scattered in wild curls, framing her face beautifully. She could as well be the Moon Mother herself. Fierce possessiveness burned in my chest. Freya was mine. She was my queen and - I let my gaze wander down her slim, curvy figure - she definitely looked the part. The urge to cancel the guard selection process so that I could sweep her off her feet, take her into my chambers an

The Road Won't Be Easy

Luna Freya's head lay in the Lycan King, Alpha Zane's lap, as she slept. Delta Burke shot up to his feet as fourteen out of twenty of the earlier dispatched recruits floundered in on wobbly feet. Some of their counterparts that came out stronger were supporting those that couldn't hold themselves up. The Alpha Lycan king's gaze searched the disheveled mess of recruits for Logan. His real target. A glimmer of a smile touched his face upon seeing Logan. He looked less alive than a dead person. His brow quirked up at the young male holding him up. He recognized him as the lad his mate, Freya, had saved earlier the night before. "Now," everyone jumped - Delta Burke's voice even that early in the morning was louder than the cry of a female in labor - "our valiant recruits have returned." "But oh what a pitiful sight you lot make. What terrible thing did you encounter in that forest?" Luna Freya stirred awake from her position on the king's lap and sat upright as she yawned, confu

All Things Dark And Ugly

Freya's POV "Release them," I calmly commanded the pale skinned guard that was permanently stationed at the entrance to the servant quarters in Beta Darius's wing of the castle. He looked up at me and his pale face turned as white as a leper, his hands tremoring like they were a mass of quivering jelly. I gave him my sweetest smile, "You remember me, don't you, pup?" His sword clattered to the rough ground as he fell flat on his face immediately, begging me to take his life. "I have committed high treason against her Royal highness. Kill me for I don't deserve to draw another breath." Oh, please, not another fear-forced appeal to be killed. I've had my fill of that to last a generation. I wondered for a moment if he said this because he meant it, or because of Krayne's tall, imposing form behind me. I rolled my eyes, unimpressed. The utmost least he could do was spare me all that shit stinking nonsense. It stank to the high heavens. I sighed, bored. "Just get up and release t

Cold Revelations

Freya's POVThe realization hit me like a ton of bricks. 'Oh my God,' I gasped, covering my mouth as I staggered backwards a bit.I sucked in a sharp breath and whispered, 'Oh Zane…"It all made much more sense now.For some reason, his eyes gleamed with amusement. "Freya?" He started to speak."No. No. Wait," I raised a finger to stop him. I needed to think.I paced about as I came at an utter loss while struggling to piece all the information together.My head felt full but my stomach, unfortunately, wasn't."So you're telling me that there's – ugh - I'm hungry. Isn't it time for breakfast yet?"My stomach rumbled at the sound of breakfast."Your highness?" A voice called out gently from the other side of the ornately carved double doors, unmistakably Odella's."Breakfast is ready, your highness. Shall I ask for it to be served at the table or shall you have it in your chambers?""We will have our breakfast in bed," I announced loud enough for her to hear me. Maybe a little too loud

Alexia...Friend or Foe?

Alexia's POVPlaying double agent was like cooking a meal for both the king and his servants in the same pot.The food must be sumptuous enough to please the king's discerning palate, yet not so savory that it would taste too good for the servants.If not, the servants would begin to expect and even feel entitled to a dish that was only fit for royalty.Every ingredient, every spice, had to be carefully considered.One wrong move, and the entire dish could be ruined….and the cook might be beheaded.I was the cook.This was constantly on edge, my stomach churning with anxiety so gripping I couldn't breathe sometimes.I was fully aware of what I got myself into and I knew that if I made one mistake, I could lose everything, including my life.But I had to keep going. I was neither friend or foe. Just the cook.I had to cook the perfect meal.For the king.And for his servants.I had to carefully balance the flavors, ensuring that each bite was a delicate dance between opulence and auste

How Many Freyas Are In The Castle?

Freya's POV"How does it feel?" I found it quite funny that I was actually curious.To see me.To be you right now.To be the one being beaten and bruised like a common slave.To see me seeing you like this.To be broken on the inside.To long for death desperately.I wasn't sure which strange mix of emotions mingled in my chest as I looked at the battered face of the man the Beta that the Moon Mother made the horrible mistake of giving me as a father.Satisfaction, tiredness, sadness, pity, fear?Maybe.Whatever it was, peace was definitely not a part of these feelings. I realized this with a frustration I didn't think I had the strength to feel. It was almost comical.But most of all, I felt a dull, pulsing rage spreading sharp shards of ice through my veins.Jaws clenched, I let my eyes roam the black, bare walls of this dungeon I didn't know till today that it existed.My feet itched to run away from here but I sat on the chair in front of him instead."Fancy seeing you here, Beta

BUSTED!

Beta Darius's POVIf the guards and royal attendees found it strange that their Lycan king's right hand and second-in-command with his sister were scurrying about like greased pigs on a scorching hot day into the throne room a few minutes to midnight, no one dared to show it.There was nothing that could be done about that. It was either this humiliation or brutal death.As evidenced from the barely concealed laughter from my lesser subjects, it was clear that we picked humiliation.Death wasn't an option. At least not yet.Not until the "Lycan King of Adivaine" was dead and left with no one to bury his body. Then I might consider dying after I've ruled Adivaine to my satisfaction.Alexia huffed and panted, "I'm just playing along with this, Darius. Later, you must tell me what made you think that there is another Freya that was created to kill us."I chortled mirthlessly. She always seemed to forget that I was a Lycan.I also had dark magic.The muscled guards at the entrance to the

I Never Had A Mother...now, I'll be one

Freya's POV"I'm not fucking perfect, Maria! Stop this madness this instant.""You are so dead, Jasper." A female snarled like a wounded beast.There was a cacophony of noises in the room. Plates clanged and crashed along with furniture while some baby's cry assaulted my ears from somewhere in the background.Little pups buzzed around like flies with paper kites in their hands.This place was nothing short of a madhouse."What the fuck is –" I ducked just in time as a broken chair leg soared through the air like a missile, inches from my face. I stared at it in wide-eyed shock as it whizzed past my head and crashed into the wall behind me."What the actual fuck is going on here?" I screamed uselessly into the air as my voice was drowned out by the ear splitting noise coming from…from everywhere."Freya--ahem. I mean, my queen!" The kindly old healer bowed her already bent back deeply upon seeing me."No no. Stand up. That's my first command to you as your queen. You'll hurt your waist
