All Chapters of The cursed mate's return : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Freya's pov “You’re nothing but a weak, mysterious waif. You think you’re worthy of being my mate? No way! You’re a shame to the whole of the Whiteclaw.”The words thwack repeatedly in my mind, a bittersweet tune I couldn’t dance, grabbing my chest in fear and shame.I was never meant to here. I wasn’t supposed to exist maybe. Freya Kael, the orphan, a nobody. That’s all I’d ever been to the Pack. No family, no name, no power. Just a shadow on the cliff of their world, Striving hard to survive on scraps and silence. But tonight, the whole thing had changed. Tonight, I’d learned the truth—the cruel, beautiful, heartbroken truth. Finnick Logan, the most feared Alpha of the Whiteclaw Pack, was my fated mate. The affiliation had gnashed into place, the moment I’d seen him at the throng, his penetrating blue eyes locking onto mine across the flake. My chest had hardened, my breath catching as the perception hit me like a thunderbolt. He was mine, and I was his I'm sure of.Or so I’

Freya's pov Next days merged in fog of pain, tiredness and misunderstanding. I was alone, completely alone. The pack had abandoned me, and Finnick...Finnick refused me, called me weak, worthless. His words tortured my mind. I heard them all the time and could do nothing with this. But there was more. Something had been woken up inside me, in the forest. Something powerful and I could not pretend I did not feel it.Further into the forest I go, away from the territory of the pack and in search of the truth.Trees rise up, their boughs twisted like gnarled skeletal fingers that are holding onto the sky. The atmosphere is tingling, my hairs stand up from my skin. The earth is like it's moving under me, responding to my every step.My power is wild and restless, like a storm that I have no idea how to control or even what it is.The night grew older and I had settled in for the cool night, I felt it. The drift in the air. The flames in the hearth shattered unnaturally and the hair on skin

Freya's pov A scary figure jumped into the moonlight, its gigantic shape looming over us like a hurricane. My breath stuck in my throat as I took a glare of it. The enormous creature was too huge, its terrifying dark fur, black as night, its eyes blinking an uncanny eerie amber. I froze, powerless to sprint my gaze from the huge beast. "Is that...?" I mumbled, my voice low over the resounding of my heart. Finnick’s expressions had void of color. He matched back, his hand instinctively stretching for the dagger at his side. "That's him. Kade’s leading in reinforcements."The words struck me like a thwack to the gut. My mind bolted, trying to bring together the nightmare unveiling before me. Kade. Yes of course. This was his doing. He’d been waiting for this day—the day when Finnick and I were at our most unguarded. When we were at each other's throats, when our trust was wore out. I smelt the blood splash to my face, fury exploding in my chest. "You...You brought this upon us," I s

Freya's pov I didn’t hear him coming. I felt him.The air warped. It turned bold, heavy like every breath I took had to twark its way through a storm. My heart picked up a race, thundering against my ribs as the scent of steel and smoke curled into my lungs. I knew that smell. Even after all these years. Even after I'd buried the memory of it, deep like a corpse beneath my skin.Kade.I spin around, already reaching for the surge of power accelerating in my veins, but it thrashed wildly, like it was waking up from a long deep sleep. No—like it was trying to protect me from him.He stood just before the clearing, the moonlight gleaming across his face. That smile… gods, that damned smile hadn’t changed.“Hello, Freya.” His voice was low, smooth, and terrifyingly calm. “You’ve grown into it nicely.”“What the are you doing here?” I smacked, fighting to grip my balance as my power tightened inside me. “How did you find me?”“hmmm,You make it sound like I was haunting you,” he said, stepp

Finnick povI used to think I knew what loyalty meant. That my pack would always stand by me. That love could protect the people I cared about. But everything changed the night Freya disappeared.She didn’t just leave. She was taken.Kade, Alpha of the Hollowfangs stole her. He tricked her with promises. Promises to help her control her powers: shadows and the strange energy of the moon. I don’t know if she followed him on her own or if he pulled her in somehow. But she left. And when she did, it felt like the moon itself had gone dark.For weeks, I searched everywhere. Through forests, rivers, caves, any place where she might be. I followed the trail of her magic, asked rogues for clues, begged the stars for help. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.Then, one night, I found something. A raven landed near me. It was dying and in its beak was a message.'She’s stronger now. You’re too late.' Kade.I tore the note apart. I didn’t believe him. I won’t ever believe that it’s too late to save her.
