FREYA’S POVKillian was looking for me, I thought as a crack inside my bones disrupted my thoughts. My eyes went wide, feeling that rippling pain that came the day I shifted.No, Killian can’t find out that I had a wolf—but I couldn’t leave Tessa either.“Sea…” I hissed in pain.> If you don’t want Killian to see you, then you should leave. I can feel him coming, she said.I clenched my fist, moving through the fiery pain, and rose to my feet even as my knees buckled.I slipped away into the woods, barely making sense of anything except the harsh scent of sulfur emitting from my body as sweat ran down my face, slipping out from every layer of my pores until I was soaked.I dropped to the floor on all fours, panting heavily. My spine straightened as I bit against my lips until blood pooled at the spot in order to hold back the scream building up.My clothes ripped from my body as fur overwhelmed my skin and my knees contracted.With a grunt, I took off, sprinting further into the woods

FREYA’S POVRogues in the estate were certainly not going to be good news, and their intentions were no doubt sinister.This spot seemed well covered, but that didn’t mean it would erase their sense of smell. They were wolves after all, even though they were rogues.I felt a slight sensation creep under my feet, and I instinctively pushed back on the ground. My feet pressed a little too hard, and it sent a ripple through the air.Their heads turned toward the direction, but I was faster, ducking into the corner for just enough coverage, with a hand over my mouth.The racing of my heart thumped fast even as I tried to keep my breathing steady.Moon Goddess, please help me.“Who’s there!” one of the rogues asked. His eyes shimmered through the dark space. His nose puckered up as he took a stiff breath.Shit!“Maybe it’s just some dumb animal. We should get going. This might be our only chance,” another voice said hurriedly.My hand was glued to the rough edges of the tree, clasped over m

FREYA’S POV“Thank you,” I said under my breath, eyes closed tightly, fearing this might not be real.That I was currently in the arms of my future executioner—of how all I felt right now was nothing but pure gratitude.He saved my life. Was Killian Greymark really different?“Luna!” It was Raphael calling out to me from a distance. He must be worried about my whereabouts. I tried to take a step back, but Killian’s grip locked even more. “Don’t move,” he ordered. “No man gets to see you like this,” he said at the corner of my ears, the line burned from the intensity of his words.I tried looking past his shoulder, but my vision blurred through the dark woods. Raphael was out there, looking for me.The more I strained my eyes, the more it hurt.Right, Killian doesn’t know what happened. Or how I shifted. Nearly got stuck in my wolf form until Raphael helped me.Shocking, he wasn’t asking me questions either. But I knew he would.Since he said don’t move, I wondered if I should take my

FREYA’S POV“Do you think I would have a choice?” I rasped, keeping my gaze away from him. Even if I wanted to leave, Killian would never allow it.“Why?” Killian asked, his gaze going down to his feet. “Do you still want a divorce after finding out about our child?”“My child,” I interrupted, grinding my feet. “You may have been part of the making process, but with everything you have done, do you think I’ll let my baby anywhere near you or your family?”I didn’t care at this moment if he found out that every single person in his family was a piece of shit. I have so many reasons to live, and my pup deserves the best.The life I couldn’t get—I was going to make sure she or he gets it.And that place wasn’t here in Greenville.“We were never meant to be together,” I started, pushing the lump down my throat. “Our lives… our marriage… all of it was just arranged to please our parents. And Oakcreek.”Rolling my eyes upward, I forced a deep breath from my lungs. “Pretending is exhausting.

FREYA’S POVThe Former Alpha regained his consciousness? That was nearly impossible.And from my observation, that imposter didn’t seem as if she had any medical skills, else she wouldn’t have presented my old abandoned notes to Killian to prove herself.I had to investigate this matter because she was using my identity.If anything goes wrong, my name would be smeared.My hand slowed its pace against my belly as I stared down at my flat stomach.In my heart, I was determined to give my baby the best life. And anyone who hurts you would pay the price.As the door opened, my gaze followed almost immediately.Disheveled dark hair and tired eyes stared back at me.“Raphael, what are you doing here?”Last night, I remember that he was trying to get to me when I was in Killian’s arms before I fainted.The fabric brushed against my thumb. I pinched the dress when I pictured how I hugged Killian last night.If anything happened last night, my baby would have been in danger, or worse.Killian
