*FREYA*I ignored Aniko's warnings and rushed to help Noah get on his feet. I felt so relieved to see him alive because his death has always burdened me.He sat down on one of the chairs and I offered him a glass of water.After finishing the glass of water he turned to look at me with tears in his eyes."Are you okay Noah?" I asked in a worried tone and he shook his head negatively.Things haven't been the same since those fucking people took me from the club.I sighed deeply."I thought you died in the woods because of the fire I made."He looked up meeting my gaze."I managed to escape by a thread and I followed the footprints I found in the woods and they led me to this strange house."He shook his head in disbelief and looked at Aniko who didn't look too pleased by his presence.She crossed her arms over her chest."Luna I don't trust him there's something fishy about him and my wolf just senses it."Aniko was a nice woman but I didn't want to be rude to her.I turned to look at

*FREYA*Tears rolled down my cheeks and a painful sob escaped my lips as the book dropped to the ground with a thud.Noah picked it up and began reading where I ended. Once he was done he looked up meeting my gaze."Freya it's not completely horrible just don't follow in her footsteps you have a kind heart and you're nothing like this woman."I shook my head negatively, wiping my tears away."The fire goddess only resorted to destruction because she came to earth and fell in love with a human and the man got her pregnant and exploited her powers for his own selfish desires.""Don't you understand? After the goddess of fire destroyed the world, the surviving people wanted to kill her until she went into hiding. That's not the kind of life I want for myself."He nodded in understanding."This woman is a murderer and if we are fucking related I am going to lose my shit right now."He placed a comforting hand on my shoulder."What if Lain finds out that I'm an abomination? He'll definitel

*LAIN* "Don't waste your time trying to save Freya because the dark tide already has a spy among your people isn't that ironic?" He taunted me, making me feel angry."Don't make me kill you Drex, I'm only trying to restrain myself because I've our old friendship." He cocked a brow at me."Lain buddy this is not the time for friendships but let me tell you one thing how did you think the Noah kid survived don't you think that it was a coincidence?" He asked curiously.He was right.I've always had my suspicions about how he managed to escape Drex and now I know that he was a spy sent from the dark tide.He chuckled wickedly, snapping out of my thoughts."Have you figured it out yet? Noah helped Freya find out about her true origin thanks to a book and now she must be going crazy out of her mind trying to search for answers from the people who claimed to raise her."So this was their plan all along. The dark tide wanted to lure out Freya alone and I had a bad feeling about this.I did

*FREYA*When I finally opened my eyes I thought that I had crossed over to the other side of the world but I was still alive somewhere in the real world.Where on earth was I? I got up staring at the Cliff that was a few feet away from me. My clothes were half burnt and the memories of how I escaped came to light.FLASHBACKI remember passing out from the trauma but before Noah could get his hands on me Ember was still awake inside and she fought off Noah and my aunt and unleashed our powers on them.Fire balls appeared on both of my hands as Ember glared at them."Freya Allan don't do anything stupid" Noah warned in a low tone but that didn't make Ember back down.Instead she growled at them.Noah was about to remove something that looked like a gun and Ember threw a fireball at him , setting him on fire.He fell to the ground screaming in pain and she turned her attention to my aunt who looked helpless and afraid for her life.She raised her hands in defense as tears rolled down he

*LAIN*I stepped out of the creek and wore the emergency clothes that I hid around the woods and Freya looked relieved to see me looking decent.She was blushing so hard that she couldn't even look me in the eye. We began walking back home in comfortable silence.I turned around staring into the darkness because it felt like someone was watching us but I couldn't see anyone.I had a feeling that it was the dark tide keeping a close eye on Freya since they failed to have her in their captive.As a safety precaution I grasped Freya's hand and she looked up at me with wide eyes staring at our entwined hands."Alpha Lain, we shouldn't have done that back there because you're engaged and I feel so guilty. Your fiance might not be the nicest person in the world but you two are still getting married."This wasn't a mistake.I took a deep breath following Axel's advice because unlike me he knows a bit more about navigating women's emotions.He was just a helpless romantic.Our eyes locked and
