The next day, Freya came into Arthur's room very early in the morning to see him still lying on the bed. She tapped his thigh. “It's morning already, won't you wake up?” she gnashed her teeth. “He's still that lazy….”“Who told you?” he peeped at her, stretching his limbs. “I am never lazy. I was being that way to steal your heart then, but not now. You wouldn't even accept me if I'm weak.” he yawned and sat up on the bed. “When did you leave the bed that I didn't get to know?”She scoffed. "You sleep so much that I can drag you out and you won't even know.”He shook his head. “You lie! If I was that way, then you would have killed me even before my parents.”She smiled, seeing him defend himself in all aspects is proof that he was becoming mature enough to be the King without being intimidated. “Fine, I just had a peek of the ministers and they are all shivering due to the cold. Leaving them to die there will cause your people to be against you, so I would prefer that they be thrown

Before Flarry and his men, Elora and the Beta were tied up, too. They kept wincing in pain, pleading to be rescued, but Flarry was deaf to their plea. He was trying to get an idea of what to use them for.He knew they were banished, and if they were on good terms with Arthur or Freya, it wouldn't happen. “Killing them isn't a nice option either. It's a waste of strength….” he said to himself, looking up to meet their gaze. “They might do a better job to save Arya.”“We already told you our motives, and you assured us that it was the same as yours. Why then would you tie us up? Do you think we will betray you?” the Beta voiced out. If only he was with just a single sword, it would have been better. He was already intending to get one once they went into the market since his sword was taken from him as it was the palace’s property.Flarry gulped. He was lost for words.“Just untie us so we can settle things. Unless you are still in love with Freya and are enraged that we plot to kill he

Elora was disguised and sent forth to the palace. She came a long way with the Beta to the way that would lead her into the Pack fully. She turned to meet Beta's eyes, “Be strong alive, and wait for me.”He sniffed and patted her shoulder. “I'm worried about you more….”“Don't bother. I will be fine. They won't know that it's me.” she assured him and pulled him closer for a kiss. “Freya is tricky, so I will be very careful and make use of that opportunity wisely.”He caressed her cheek and then bid her goodbye.She didn't stop walking until she entered the palace as a palace maiden. One would think she was there to only do as Flarry had ordered her, but it was her only time to do what brought her back to pack. First, she needs to create enmity between Freya and Arthur and then be able to strike with that opportunity. She entered the palace and reached the kitchen. Flarry had told her that the captured maiden who was still caged was posted in the kitchen, so she would have to go there

The secluded building was as quiet as usual. Freya's footsteps reverberated in the area as she walked in with her sword in her palm. Her eyes trailed around the room, knowing that whoever eavesdropped on her conversation with Arthur must surely be hiding in a place.“Reveal yourself before I find you—” she stamped her sword on the floor. “Now!!!!”Elora quivered. She would spit out her heart if time weren't taken. She would have been mindful if she had known that Freya would come after her. When she arrived, she reached the well to see Arya there. Her eyes were tied up so she couldn't see a thing but observed that someone came around.She didn't bother to speak since her aim of coming into the palace wasn't to save her. She learned how the rope was tied and it happened to be a tough one, and noticing that Freya was after her made her dodge to save her life first.“You won't come out right?” Freya laughed and walked to the well. “Make sure I don't see you again. If I do, you will regre

At first, Freya was furious. But when she reasoned that it must be a trick as such gibberish came from the same maid she was suspecting, she decided to go talk about it privately with Arthur. “Leave!!!” She commanded the maid before her and headed towards the Alpha's room.Entering, she didn't believe her eyes. Arthur was lying lifeless on the floor. She rushed to him and shook his body constantly…. “If this is a prank, just end it and open your eyes.” she shrieked, trying to open his eyes. “Pupils dilated. What is wrong with him?”She studied his pulse and it was faint. “His body is chilly—” she bit her lower lip. “Arthur!!!” her voice resounded in the room. “Geralt!!!” she repeated, breathing endlessly. “This isn't a joke. Call the physician…” she ordered and struggled to get him up until he was laid on the bed.She stood some feet away from the bed, staring at his face. “What is wrong with him? His face is becoming pale. He was just fine minutes ago….” she was panting, trying to be

Three weeks later,“The Alpha King is dead, she's just hiding him in his chamber.”“The ministers are bothered to enthrone a new King since she's still pregnant….”“It is said that she killed him to avenge the death of her parents….”Rumors are spreading around the Pack, and Freya is the most haunted about it. There is a secret not even she knew, but that would come to light when it's due. She doesn't wish for all her hard work to be in vain.If Arthur doesn't wake up—even if it would be a miracle, she would be a loser. It has been finally exposed that the maid who claimed to be bearing the Alpha’s child is an impersonator and is Elora. For accusing the King and impersonating, her penalty is death, and the ones that had her backed up, including the Beta, Flarry, and his men, the Ministers, will all be executed.But, one thing has to be sure. The only one who would order the execution is the Alpha King. he needs to wake up, to save Freya from that hell, or they will all succeed, thereb
